A ronin, a coyote, and a blade. (Ask to Join)

[Karolus Krupp]

Koros Major; Afternoon; 17:05


Far from the reaches of civillization, the closest being a 30 km away village, the Krupp's hunting lodge was located. Surrounded by thick forests, wide plains, small rivers and springs, the hunting lodge was in the center of an abundant of flora and fauna area. The Krupp's hunting lodge though was not as the typical small wooden hut in the middle of the woods, but a two story house capable of housing two servants a five-membered family and a few guests. Its architecture radiated the feeling of wealth and especially aristocracy, its walls carved with different type of architectural ideas, each one of it edged to an exceptional detail, the hunting lodge although just a lodge was touched by a magnificent architectural mind.

Karolus had already been used to this view and it was something normal for his life. A child carrying blue blood he was raised in the luxurious and royal way of life. He was not here for hunting, as a matter of fact he never liked hunting, but for the meeting of a man roaming the galaxy - a so called ronin. Getting information about a man that had specific skills, skills that Karolus was looking for, was a hard job while contacting that man was triple the job it was than finding the existance with those skills that is willing to 'bargain' with the shrewd man. People such as the ronin, usually tend to sell their skills for credit or materialistic 'gifts'. Such was the case here as well.

The Director of Intelligence stood in the vast living room of the hunting lodge, expecting the man he had summoned here very soon. He sat on one of the quite expensive looking chairs and drank tea. His butlers were not currently in the lodge as it was a closed season and no one came up here. The tea pot stood on a short table infront of him with another cup waiting to be filled for his upcoming guest.

What surprising situation has the Ronin found himself in. Contacted by a stranger to do a task only he and some others in the galaxy were capable of doing. Of course, the Ronin didn't want to let the man who had contacted him waiting. In fact, was already on his way to the place they were supposed to meet at. He was of course a bit suspicious, like anyone would be when asked by an unknown someone for a meeting. So he came prepared. He was ready to fight his way out of this when he had to, but he had a feeling that that wouldn't be necessary.

He walked slowly towards the large building located at the end of the road. He took his time, just so he could enjoy the scenery around him. The leafless, dark trees combined with the white snow lying around made for quite the beautiful environment. The Ronin blended in with the snow, with his white Haori. Underneath he wore a black Kosode and a black Hakama underneath the white Haori, while having a flower Kimono draped over his Haori. Those things kept him a little warm, though the cold was still there.

When he finally arrived at the unknown's house's door, he first knocked and then waited a bit. This'll be interesting. He thought as he waited in front of the door. He didn't want to just enter for two reasons, the first being that he considered it to be rude, threatening and uncivilized to just barge into someone's home, especially if it's such an noble home, the second being that the door was locked. So he waited and looked around. He couldn't find anything that looked threatening and he also didn't sense anyone with the intentions of attacking him. The Ronin would have see how this turned out, to determine if he had to fight his way out or not.

The knock immediately woke up the hibernating butler droid that was the only other 'creature' besides Karolus in the whole lodge, that is if we exclude the carpets of fur, and hunting trophies which were scarcely spread throughout the lodge on the walls. The knock did not startle Karolus as he was expecting his guest, it was the droid's interruption of the peace and quietness of the lodge that made Karolus startle just one bit. The arrival of his gues brought a slight smile on the edges of The Coyote, the same smile which gave him that nickname. He looked straight at the clock on the wall besides him and noted that his guest was sharply on time.

Dangerous sharpness, Karolus thought of the guest who had just arrived.

The droid greeted the gues with it's usual greeting protocol and welcomed him to the house as instructed. Upon entrance the guest would be located in a long wide corridor with various decorations while still keeping the amazing details of the exterior architecture to the inside. A truly master of architecture works had a hand in this. The atmosphere of nobility, blue-blood, and 'those above the massess' that the lodge radiated from outside still remained, although it had a hint of cozyness within it. As the gues would be lead towards the living room which was a wide hall with a shorter roof height than the corridor, he would introduced to an even cozier atmosphere and wider variation of decorations that each passed to the style of the lodge. From a quite aristocratic looking chair, as all the chairs in the room were, Karolus would stand and turn towards his guest.

"Welcome to the Krupp's Hunting Lodge." Karolus spoke with his slick smile on his face and intuition and accent that typical of a noble. " I am your contact and host, Karolus Krupp."
