Posted by Cadet Johnathan Baptiste (Doctor) in Side Sim: Holodeck 1-Upstairs/Downstairs “A hunting we will go”
Johnathan eventually found the kennels and a young man tending to the dogs. “Pardon me chap, but my memory tends to wander when it comes to names, could you please remind me of yours?” Johnathan inquired of the young man. “Been in the cups again have you?” the young man said in a teasing manner, “I know your new sir, and was just teasing about the drinking. Me names Wilfrid sir. How may I help you?” he queried. “Well Wilfred, it would seem his lordship wants to take his guest out for a little hunting and shooting. If you could be so kind as to gather my shotgun and the game bags and bring the dogs around I will return to his lordship and inquire if he and his guest are ready. Oh, and Wilfred bring along your shotgun and be prepared to stand back a few feet, don’t quite trust his lordship’s city guest to be safe with a firearm. Also Miss Hanna gave me some sausages to give to the dogs if they become bothersome” he handed the bundle over to him, and winking said “I will not tell her if you decide to eat one or two.” Jonathan said with a smile.

OCC: Feel free to join the sim. This is part of the Upstairs/Downstairs Side Sim (may wish to read that stream to get a feel. In this part of the Sim Cadet Johnathan is leading a hunt for the Lord of the manor.
-Chris Huskins

I.C.- Jonathan made his way to the front of the estate and walked up the steps. He was enjoying the exercise and wondered how the program would handle the hunt. He knocked on the door and a man dressed as a Butler opened it. With a look of disdain at Jonathan and his boots he said “Yes, how may I help you?” Jonathan smiled and replied “Certainly my good chap, please inform his Lordship I and Wilfred are ready for his hunt. Wilfred is bringing the hounds around as we speak.” As he said that one could hear the baying of the hounds as Wilfred was bringing them around.

With the closing of the door, Johnathan saw Wilfred and two young boys come around leading a set of hounds. Wilfred handed the leads of the hounds he was controlling over to the taller of the two boys and walked over to Johnathan “Here be your shotgun sir.” Wilfred said as he handed Johnathan the weapon. Johnathan took the shotgun and inspected it. It was a fine weapon and Johnathan opened the breech. Wilfred handed over the ammo and Johnathan loaded the shotgun. Turning, and insuring the shotgun was pointed up and away he asked “So Wilfred who are the two young lads with you? “ Wilfred looked long and hard at Johnathan than said “You sure you were not in the cups last night sir. They be me boys Baxter and Albert.” Johnathan looked at Wilfred for a second then smirked and laughed “Wilfred, my good man I was merely joking with you. Of course I recognize your boys. Good thing you brought them to, as the hounds look eager.” About that time the doors to the manor house opened up and a group of well dressed men stepped out. One in particular looked at Johnathan “Well there he is my game warden with my kennel master. You men ready to lead my friends and myself on a fine ‘Glorious Twelfth’?” Johnathan bowed slightly and replied “We are your lordship, a good driven grouse shooting should hopefully bring your spirits up some.” With that Johnathan turned to Wilfred “Well you heard his Lordship, lead on with the dogs and we will find a fine spot for his Lordship and friends to a fine spot for their shoot.” And off they went.
