[ The man who first appears on the screen is easily recognisable thanks to the very prominent scowl between his brows. People may have seen it before. Usually it comes about when he’s forced to do something like this. In his hands are varying sheets of paper that he rifles through as though to ignore d’Artagnan and his eager camera.
Athos waits a moment, then two, before he sighs. ] Go on then, I know you’re dying to announce it. Let’s not keep them waiting.
[ That’s all the cue d’Artagnan needs. The camera wheels around to show his face, where he’s looking altogether too pleased with himself. ]
We have something to tell you all. [ The camera lingers on his face for a moment and then shifts up, fixing on a sign bearing a symbol that will be familiar to anyone who’s met the Musketeers. D’Artagnan’s voice accompanies the picture. ] We’d like to welcome you to our new offices.
The thing is, we’re Musketeers. This may not be our world, but we’re still able to work. We’d like to help, in the best way we can. And let’s be honest, I was never going to help anyone at the Renaissance Faire.
So, we’re opening an agency of our own.
[ The camera pans around the office itself, showing a mostly wooden interior, a desk, several chairs, and what looks like a modern coffee machine hidden in one corner. There are several doors, including one that leads out to a yard. A couple of horses can briefly be seen there. ]
We want to do our part, here in De Chima. We’re here to protect you. We’ll be your guards, if you need us. We’ll investigate crimes that you bring to us. You can come to us in confidence, and we’ll do all that we can to help you. This is our work, and we want to get back to it.
[ A large hand grasps to reposition the camera and in looms a set of curls and not much else before the camera settles on a desk and Porthos comes into the frame. ]
Not like we get all the praise and glory, despite it being something that’s been well-deserved by our regiment, in my very humble experience. Only, there’s the bit where we take the best. I mean, I’d accept mediocre if I could train it out of you, but I think Athos might have my head first.
[ Which is actually a good point. Athos makes a noise like clearing his throat and waits until one of his companions angles the device again to get him in it. ] We’re taking anyone who wants to learn and seems as if they’d be capable. Men and women. [ And that’s at least one sign that he’s becoming one with the times. And that he’s not as bad as all that, thank you Porthos. ] We only ask that you be over sixteen and that you are prepared to learn. It is not an easy life, you do not make it without dedication. We would expect much of that. But I can guarantee that it is worthwhile. And if you trust us to teach you then you will not be let down.
[ After all that, d’Artagnan pulls the camera back to himself. All of that seriousness has not gotten rid of his excitement. ]
You can let us know if you’re interested. We open for business two weeks from today. If we can help you, you should get in touch.
( nb: the occ information post is here and sign-ups are here. Athos is black, D’Artagnan is teal and Porthos is purple. )

[ They just might be in the city more often than lately. D'Artagnan misses it.
It's all about finding the right balance. ]
You won't be too angry, will you?
no subject
[Okay she almost giggled but held it in.]
no subject
Then we shall have to make it up to you. How may we win back your favour, my Lady?
no subject
[Wait.]
Also, I must be allowed in this office first, to make sure it is quite fitting.
no subject
Fit for Musketeers, my Lady. I would not call it fit for a Queen.
no subject
Or am I thoroughly banned from the premises?
no subject
[ She could never be banned from anywhere. Besides which, she's their most prominent client.
Albeit, one they'll never charge for the service. ]
I'm merely warning you of the state it's in.
no subject
I will be most practical. Men are known for their poor behaviors when it comes to cleanliness, when left to their own devices.
But truly, I am so pleased! Although if you should like it, I can play as though I were a jealous girl, when you know that to not be my nature.
no subject
I would not think such a thing of you.
We are still preparing the place, but there is space for the horses outside. You could ride to us, if you wish.
no subject
I would be glad of the task, that is to say.
no subject
Besides, you have your patients to think of. It would not be right to take you from them.
no subject
no subject
While that's true, I was not trying to run a hospital at the same time. You always put others before yourself, Queen Lucy. That should not always be the case.
no subject
no subject
He's not very good at this. ]
Very well, then you should not put the three of us above your patients. They need your kindness, and your time. It's unfair for us to take it all.
no subject
[She pauses.]
But surely I may put you as most important in my heart, here in this land, no?
no subject
You are very important to me as well.
That does not mean you need to spend all of your time helping us clean up this office space.
no subject
no subject
A bit, perhaps. But only if you and your patients can truly spare it.
