madjackal is apparently online right now. I wouldn't count her out yet. Maybe she just doesn't know about the OOC thread. I'll send her a PM linking her here.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Reposted Below</div><div class="spoiler_body">Also doodasaurus, I did indeed allude to those things. I've also had an idea that the princess eventually takes a disliking to Octavius and hires an assassin who waits in Octavius' room to strike. However, Octavius catches the assassin and defeats him. Due to some conversation, Octavius suspects that it was the princess who sent the assassin. However, this would have been breaking some sort of pact, so he hints that he knows it was her (even though he knows he has no proof). The princess picks up on Octavius' hints and gets nervous that he may know. However, she doesn't think he'd have any proof, but she needs to be sure. So perhaps that is when she sends someone to seduce him, and drug him in the process so that the princess can come in when Octavius is out cold to look around and make sure he doesn't have any proof.<br/><br/>Anyways, there are certainly many ideas we can do with this world, it's just a matter of building the back-story first and moving things a long. It's a rough idea, just a foggy sketch in my mind, but I figured I'd share it in the OOC thread. Though normally I just write an assassin into the story and see how it plays out because I'm sneaky that way.</div></div>
