(A vampire that looks like if Parker were a woman walks up to the manor doors. She has long somewhat straight brown hair and wears the same clothes with the same sword as Parker.)
(Parker himself is currently absent from the manor.)
- @knighted-parkkeeper (AU version of Parker)
[Maddie opens the doors]
Oh! Hello there! Who are you?
(She blinks)
Hi. My name is Paige Ó Dalaigh. I’m a Dame looking for a house to serve. Hm, but something feels different here from what I expected…
Huh! Well ain't this odd! You remind me alot of parker. One of my knights!
Please come in!
I am Maddie Harris. The monarch of this clan.
[She offers her arm]
(She blinks) Yes, that wolf shifter man mentioned a Sir Parker Ó Dalaigh and seemed to assume we were related.
(She steps inside) Ah, I shouldn't touch you, I'm sure I'm covered in grime from my travels, and you're royalty..
And i am as filthy as every commoner.
[She chuckles]
Please do not be afraid of getting me dirty
Would you like something to eat?
Alright... (she hesitantly takes her arm) I'm not very hungry, your highness, don't worry. I wouldn't want to impose.
Impose? Hardly!
[She smiles as they walk through the manor]
No this is less of a clan and more "an incredibly fucked up family"
[She jokes as a young vamp dashes by to the kitchen]
I.. see.
(Parker returns to the manor at that moment, and he can hear their voices, but doesn't think much of it as he dusts off his boots.)
Oh! There is Sir parker!
[She leads her over]
Parker! Dear!
(He looks confused and walks over.)
Hello?
(Paige narrows her eyes at him.)
Who's this?
This is paige! She just kinda... showed up! Like you did!
(He freezes as he hears the name.)
(And then he draws his sword and swings it at her. She blocks it instantly with her own.)
Try it. I dare you.
Who are you really?
My name is Paige. I'm a Dame of the United Kingdom.
[Maddie stiffens]
HEY! THERE WILL BE NO FIGHTING IN THIS MANOR!
[she barks before she sighs]
What the hell is going on?
(Parker tenses up and pulls back his sword.)
Her name is my deadname.
(Paige looks at him incredulously) What?
[She sighs and looks at Paige and she pauses]
Madame. Perhaps. May i ask what was the name of the person you were looking for? I think that would clear things up... if my theory is true.
Mason Harris.
I was correct then
[She smiles at parker]
Alternate universe it seems.
[She smiles at Paige and takes her hand]
I greatly apologize for this mix up. Rifts have been odd lately.
(She blinks) Ah. I remember rifts, yes. Do you hit every Paige you come across, sir?
No. Only the ones that are wearing my exact same clothing with the same sword. (He "hmph"s and sheathes his sword.)
[She chuckles]
I do hope mr. Mason is just as kind as you hope Paige...
[She tilts her head]
Well, I hope he's at least a respectable man. I don't need undue kindness.
If he is my alternative I would hope so. I mean... parker stuck around with my annoying ass
[She jokes]
(she shrugs) Upbringings can change people greatly. Though, I suppose Parker and I act very similarly, but our lives may match very closely.
I will take my leave and attempt to find a breach to return through.
There is one out back
Stay safe
Thank you, your majesty. (she bows deeply and leaves again through the front door)
(Parker glances to the side at Maddie like a dog who's done something wrong.)
[She looks over and takes his hands]
I am so sorry I yelled. Please forgive me
You're not going to hit me?
Gods no!
I just wanted to cut through the fighting
[She holds his face]
You are a brilliant and fantastic knight. I am lucky to say you work for this clan
Right, right- I'm sorry. I've had a rough evening and Emerson says I've been, err, what's the word, triggered by things that've put me on this edge.
(He seems a little shy and his ears get pinkish) Really? I'm not all that...
I understand.
[She smiles and nods]
Of course. I mean every word. You are an amazing knight. You are all of that. And more
Thank you, y- Maddie. I am honoured to serve you.
[She smiles softly and hugs him]
I am the honored one to have you.
(He hugs her back)
I should lay down for a bit because I got stabbed, but I will be back to my guard duties momentarily.
Stabed?!
Take the day off!
Oh, no worries, Rick and Emerson healed me already and I feel just fine. I'll drink a bloodbag and take a short nap, then I'll be right as rain. (he smiles)
[She sighs]
I trust you my knight
[She smiles]
Sleep well. And drink plenty.
[She lets go from the hug]
Hooray!
(he walks away back to his room, grabbing a bloodbag on the way)
I will make you have a day off one day!
[She teases]
