OoC: As people may or may not know, my character Tera has a straight path storyline, meaning that Tera has just left the Deadlands before this post (there's a link to it in Tera's profile). Although there isn't any direct connection to it in this post, I just wanted to let people know.

BiC: It was twilight in an unfamiliar town, and few people were walking the streets except to go home. Around her she could hear the quiet conversations of the people in their houses, the footfalls of rodents and various stray animals, and... a team of horses and their carriage?
Tera heard the carriage come closer and closer, until it came to a halt right in front of her. The door opened silently and a well-dressed man in black stepped out. He held out a small card and spoke, "My Master sent me to find you, and to deliver this," Tera took the card, "For a time, you were unable to be found, but... now you are here, right where you need to be."

Tera tried to read the card, but did not know this particular written language. Before she could ask the man what it said however, he was already riding his carriage in the distance. The Master is expecting you, she heard a faceless voice say. Holding the card in her left hand, she sighed, "well this is useless," and she flicked the card with the back of her right hand.

About to throw away the card, she heard the sound of the carriage once more, distant at first, but it grew and grew until the man was once again opening the door of the carriage on the road in front of her, with the carriage appearing out of thin air, horses and all.

"Mistress doesn't need a costume." the well-dressed man stated.

"A costume? For what?.. And what did this card say?" Tera queried.

"All in due time Mistress R'keltera, All in due time." and with that, the man returned to the cab of the carriage, beckoning for Tera to follow. Cautiously, Tera entered the carriage.

The Master is expecting you The bodiless voice spoke once more.

Chilled by the voice, Tera was silent until the horses had stopped a short time later, "Where are we?" she asked.

"Welcome to Diedricht Castle," the man stated with a voice distinctly more... solid than before.

Tera stepped out of the carriage and saw the castle, which was so large Tera would have had a hard time not seeing the it. It was dark and ominous, and had a door to match. At the foot of the door, an old man stood, staring intently at Tera.

Tera slowly walked up to the doorman, "Welcome... I will show you inside. Master Diedricht willed it to be so," the man turned back to the door and pushed, revealing a smaller, human-sized door. Tera entered and saw the splendour of the castle's interior.

The marble room was adorned heavily with various beautiful tapestries and was large enough to fit her entire village. The old man walked to a nearby stairway and called for Tera to follow. When they reached the next room, she was awestruck by the sheer number of people, all dancing gracefully along the floor. Following the doorman to the stairs on the opposite side of the room, she began to open her mouth.

"Rest assured, you were invited... The Master doesn't make mistakes," the doorman pre-empted Tera's question.

After walking for some time, the man stood in a long corridor, at the fifth door on the left, "This is your room. You will not be able to leave the building until the morning because of... security."

I wish I'd known that earlier Tera thought with frustration. When she opened the door into the grand room though, she began to think that staying the night would not be such a bad idea. The room was filled with expensive furniture and fabrics of many varying shades of green, with the only things to break this pattern being the dozens of flowers set in decorative locations around the room.

"If you wish to wear clothes similar to what the dancers were wearing, then Master Diedricht has supplied clothes in the wardrobe, and says that they are your size," the old man directed Tera, "there is also a private bathroom through that door which should have all of the amenities you would be used to."

"Soo... why am I here again?" Tera questioned the man.

He replied, "The Master will be here shortly, and he will be able to tell you what you need to know."

OoC: I know it's similar to the opening post, but Tera needed to be introduced to the place as well and I didn't want to do something short like the second and third posters. I also kept a number of the servant's speech's the same or similar, as I felt that the servants were practically automated. There is of course some variation to suit Tera though. (I wouldn't want to copy-paste your post)
