A Strange Unknown History [IC/Open]

[New Roman Empire]

John walked back to his house to get the kitchen ready incase Elizabeth wanted to cook anything. John has just recently bought two servants to keep him company and to do stuff around the house. "Zeus, I want you to get the kitchen cleaned up and Ryan, just tidy things up around the house," said John. Ryan was a black slave in his 40s, so John took it easy on him. But Zeus was only 20, so he had to pick up the slack from Ryan.

Elizabeth
Elizabeth was ecstatic,and had rushed around from store to store and from merchant to merchant.After a little while,she arrived at John's house.She had 3 bags of things.She came in and said,"I got a lot of things for 3!" She pulled out carrots,celery,potatoes,beef,pork,bread,peppers,chicken,onions and some more things!" She set everything in it's place and said,"So let's get cooking!"

Samuel and Nelson
Sam checked the time.2 o' clock. He and Nelson had quietly arrived at the docks.They watched the docks for awhile.Sam then tapped Nelson's arm and said,"It seems that they are working a patrol of a half circle,then back the other half and switch....Looks like an approximate time of 10 minutes before they switch.So that may be enough time for us to dump the tea."

[New Roman Empire]

"Ok, so where do we start, you overwhelmed me with all the food you bought." Said John as he picked up the potatos and started to peal them. "Zeus, come here and bring the tash with you. Ryan, you can stop now if you want." Said John, a few moment later, Ryan came around the cornor and bowed and went down the stairs to the basement where John had bought to beds and a fire place for them down there. Then Zeus came around the corner and put the trash near John and Elizabeth. "That will be all Zeus, you can be done after you set the table." Said John as he turned to Elizabeth, and said, "I bet bet you didnt know I had slaves working around here." Said John.

[The Russian People]

"I kind of assumed you would.A lot of the British soldiers do.Me and Nelson are really against slavery,but I really like the way you treat yours.Not quite like the average slave owner." She was preparing the bread and chopping the carrots as she said it."You treat yours with respect and treat them well.....and I thank you for that." She then looked up and smiled at him.

[New Roman Empire]

"I personaly dont like the idea, but a few british officers bought them as gifts for when I moved in," Said John as he started on the beef an chicken. "Well, I think thats the last of the stuff, its 3:10 now, and the food will cock slowly on this stove. So what do you want to do while we wait?" Asked John as he turned the stove down abit to keep the food from burning if it was left in for to long.

[The Russian People]

Elizabeth grinned a little."You know,I still feel that that soldier I talked about earlier,the one who murdered my mother and father,is still alive.Nelson always talks of tracking him down and killing him with his bare hands,and every now and again I check through the newspaper and gossip to see if anything comes up."

[New Roman Empire]

"I know he was killed, when was at his hanging, my parents brought me to those all the time. The hanging were brutal sometimes," Said John as he moved clsoer to Elizabeth and started to kiss her.

[The Russian People]

As they started to kiss,there was a knocking at the door."Helllooo!",ringed through the house.It was the voice of her brother.He entered with Sam and they both greeted John and Elizabeth."Everything looks delicious!",Sam said.He took a seat and said,"So,shall we pray?"

[New Roman Empire]

"By all means, go ahead Sam," Said John as he sat down at the table and waited for everyone else to sit down. Then He took off his hat and bowed his head.

[The Russian People]

"Alright." He cleared his throat and began,"Dear Lord in Heaven,grant us health through this meal and bless it with your mighty powers.I'd also like to ask you to bless the Colonists and the British as we are in this tumultuous time.Please bless the area and I hope that you can raise us out of the coffin of hell.We will walk through the shadow of the valley of death through you,lord.Amen." He smiled,looked up,and said,"Now let's eat."

[New Roman Empire]

"So what news have you heard around town?" Asked John as he ate some chicken and potatos. Then he looked out of the window and a soldier was standing there montioning for him to come. "If you will excuse me for a monment." Said John as he got up and walked over to the door and opened it. John was wearing regular civilian cloths. The soldier whispered somthign into John's ear and John nodded. "I am sorry to leave, but a matter has come to light on main street and I must be present." Said John as he ran up stairs got on his uniform then came back down. "Zeus, clean everything up after everyone has left." Said John. Then he walked over to Elizabeth and whispered, "meet me here after my patrol is over." Said John then he got back up grabed his pistol and left.

Main street,Boston

"I want this area cleared. I want no one to leave, they are to be questioned and then they can leave and get those bodies down." Yelled John as he was barking orders to the men that had been assigned to deal with this. Who could have done this, let alone, how did they do this with out anyone noticeing.

[Slavatainia]

Rupert awoke from the alley he ahd slept in. He grabbed the Lute case walked through the streets, finding a busy place to perform his music. Below him he found a leather purse that someone had dropped in the marketplace. Opening it, he discovered that it contained a large amount of coin. Then he heard a merchant shout, "A reward! A reward to the one who finds my leather purse!" Being the honest man Rupert is, the beggar came forward and handed the purse to the merchant saying, "Here is your purse. May I have the reward now?" "Reward?" scoffed the merchant, greedily counting his gold. "Why the purse I dropped had 200 pieces of gold in it. You've already stolen more than the reward! Go away or I'll tell the police."

" I would do no such thing. I'm an honest man and I will be treated as one." said Rupert defiantly. Rupert threw the opened coin purse down on the ground, the coin spread around the marketplace. Even though the man was to feeble to chase him, Rupert immediately exited the area to find another place. He found a nice spot. "Kind sir, be so good as to notice a poor, hungry man. I have not sufficient coin for a night's lodging. I swear by God! For over twenty years I was a Redcoat. I was the victim of war. I have been out of a place for years now."

Thomas Arlington, British lawyer, looked at the speaker's tattered military uniform, at his blue eyes, at the red patches on his cheeks, and it seemed to him that he had seen the man before. Thomas looked at his goloshes, of which one was shallow like a shoe, while the other came high up the leg like a boot, and suddenly remembered.

"Listen, the day I met you in Sadovoy Street," he said, "and then you told me, not that you were a veteran, but that you were a student who had been expelled. Do you remember?" "N-o. No, that cannot be so!" Rupert muttered in confusion. "I am a veteran, and if you wish it I can show you documents to prove it." Rupert explained. "That's enough lies! You called yourself a student, and even told me what you were expelled for. Do you remember?" Thomas flushed, and with a look of disgust on his face turned away from the ragged figure. "It's contemptible, sir!" he cried angrily. "It's a swindle! I'll hand you over to the police, damn you! You are poor and hungry, but that does not give you the right to lie so shamelessly!"

"I . . . I am not lying," he muttered. "I can show documents." Rupert said. "Who can believe you?" Thomas went on, still indignant. "To exploit the sympathy of the public--it's so low, so mean, so dirty! It's revolting!" Thomas flew into a rage and gave Rupert a merciless scolding. The beggar at first defended himself, protested with oaths, then he sank into silence and hung his head, overcome with shame. Thomas left, so did Rupert in search of Nelson. He had yet to introduce himself yet.

After a few minutes of searching, he still couldn't find them. He walked past the house of John Brackmen, who Rupert was unaware Nelson was dining at. Rupert was visible through the dining window, walking down the street in his tattered Redcoat uniform. Nelson could either call for him or ignore him.

[The Russian People]

"Good luck with what you need done.",Samuel said.Elizabeth nodded at what John whispered.After he left,Samuel said to Nelson,"At 7 o' clock.We will move and dump the tea." Nelson nodded.Elizabeth then said,"WHAT? Dump what tea?!" They had forgotten she was there.Sam nodded over to Nelson.Nelson stood up and said,"Tonight,me,Samuel,and others will head out to the docks to board two tea-bearing ships.We will then proceed to dump the cargo of tea it has." Samuel then said,"Precisely." Elizabeth crooked her head and said,"Well the Tea Act is bad,but this is worse." Nelson put his hand up,"Don't fret about it....and don't blabber to your boyfriend about it either." After he said that,he noticed Rupert walking by.He called out the door,"You there! Come in,we have much to discuss!" motioning for Rupert to come into the house.

Eric sat in the corner of Samuel Adams bar and watched as a group of British soldiers filed in, this time they were much more somber. The young, scared looking one wasn't with them. He was strung up over main street, Eric was satisfied with the fear he had induced. However, his thirst for blood wasn't yet quenched. Tonight he would look down into a soldiers eyes as he gasped his final breaths and he would feed off that sorrow, yes, he would see his prey die.

[New Roman Empire]

The soldiers had just got the man down. "Cover him up and take him back to the camp. No needs to see this. Patrol, head to the harbor, it is 5 pm now so we are late." Said John as he took off running towards the harbor along with his men. When they got there, the ship had only just arrived. "I got a bad feeling about to night, So I want all the tea moved into the warehouse over there and tell the other to bring more men and take hiding positions.

[Slavatainia]

Rupert turned to the voice and instantly recognized the voice as Nelson's. He walked quickly towards the house, he approached Nelson with a smile of appreciation. "Apologies for not introducing myself earlier to you. The name is Rupert Daniel Thompson." He said peering into the house and extending his hand. "I take it you reside here?" He asked the man.

OOC:Woah....your guy's middle and last name is my RL First and Last name

"No,sir.I was having a lunch here with a..friend of my sister's.A British soldier bearing the name of John Brackmen." He took a sip of water."Take a seat,Rupert." He motioned towards the chair and food."Also,have some food if you want." He smiled."So,tonight at 7 o' clock,we are going to board the two ships in the harbor and dump the tea into the Atlantic."

[New Roman Empire]

OOC:is it possbile to skip to the harbor part so I can spring my trap?

[Slavatainia]

OOC:Lets wait until I get told the plan and discuss some things.

Rupert took a made a plate of food. It consisted of beef, potatoes, and carrots. He grabbed some eating utensils and a glass of water and took a seat. " Hello everyone, my name is Rupert Thompson." He introduced in a kind voice. "Excuse my neglected appearance, many unfortunate things have happened in my life." Rupert explained, taking a bite of his food. "How is everyone doing?" He asked.

[The Russian People]

Samuel smiled.He really liked this guy's tone and everything else.Sam spoke up,"We're doing dandy.",he chuckled."Tonight,in a little while,we will set off for the Boston Harbor to board the two ships docked in it's bay soon.We will proceed to dump each chest of tea into the ocean,and flee before the British even realize what happened.",he said cunningly.

[United Districts of 1]

Eric watched silently as British soldiers disappeared into the harbor and cordoned it off. He knew there was no time to tell the raiding party. Instead he sprinted to up the road to the local powder depot. The small and relatively unguarded building was a few hundred yards north of the harbor and could be seen from the ships carrying the tea. He slipped past a dozing British guard and moved inside the large shed that held hundreds of boxes of black powder. He lifted his oil lamp high into the air and shattered it on the ground. As the fire began to spread he bolted off and onto the shore as he raced for cover. The massive powder keg exploded and sent Eric flying off his feet. Flaming boards and shrapnel flew through the air like savage hail. He righted himself upward with a grunt and limped away towards safety.

Rupert needed to know about what equipment and payment. "I have several questions." Rupert stated. "Will we be armed with muskets, what about payment, and what role do I have in the mission?" He asked, taking another bite off his plate. The food was delicious, it had been days since he had a meal such as this. Rupert owed these men many favors , but he had to get at least some coin to better himself.

Sir Olav von Liechtenstein walked through his mansion and wrote a letter to the king of England...

Dear King George,
Rebellions and talk over freedom have sprouted all over New York, including the other colonies. We must stop this from happening before they destroy are grip on the New World. I believe we should expand into French's territory up in Canada and send more troops over on the Eastern Coast. It would be an outrage my liege if we were to loose are patriotic colonies.

Sincerely, Sir Olav von Liechtenstein

Rupert needed to know about what equipment and payment. "I have several questions." Rupert stated. "Will we be armed with muskets, what about payment, and what role do I have in the mission?" He asked, taking another bite off his plate. The food was delicious, it had been days since he had a meal such as this. Rupert owed these men many favors , but he had to get at least some coin to better himself.

Sam began talking,"If you fancy taking a weapon,then that would be very good.As for your role in this,you shall move in with me and Nelson and several others onto the two ships and start dumping tea.Or,due to your knowing of British tactics,you could provide over-watch as we dump the tea,your choice.And payment," Sam dug around in his pockets and pulled out a bag of coin,a hefty bag."There you are.A heavy bag of coin." He smiled and said,"Anymore questions?"

[Slavatainia]

Rupert's eyes grew large at the sight of the bag of coin. For a moment he was speechless, admiring the what he had just received. He could buy a lot of things with this coin, maybe not a home, but new clothing, a knife, and possibly a musket. "Thank you, fine sir. I will provide over-watch. I have one final question." He said. "I was a colonel in the military. I know officer protocol, but my uniform is tattered." He paused. "If I could find something to cover my uniform with and if I cleaned up. Would it be possible for me to sneak you all in?" Rupert suggested.
