*Malefica entered the guest room and looked it over to see if it was ready to receive visitors. She made sure the bed was made and that everything was clean. She also checked that nothing was missing in the bathroom.
The last thing she did, was placing some fresh flowers in a vase and place it on the table, to make the room look a little more homely. Iroquis Plisskin came from a place far away, and she was sure he needed a place where he could feel welcome.*

*Snake arrives right behind her and glances about for potential surveillance systems. Being a constant recipient of backstabbing, such an offer would, of course, be met with much suspicion. After one last cursory glance around the place, he eases up, content that for now there was no potential threat to his well-being.*
"Nice place you've got here."

*Malefica smiled warmly. She was The Guardian of the Holy Grail, but she was not going to tell him where the Grail was. That was not her secret to tell. But she had to tell him about the traps.*
"Thank you, Monsieur. We do our best to make it as homely as possible. But please note that this is a fortress. It was built for a reason I cannot tell you, without knowing more about you. But you need to know that we have powerful enemies, and for that reason we have traps everywhere. This room is not in regular use until you arrived, so this room have no traps. But if you want to move around the house, please call for Merlin or me first, so we can guide you away from the traps. We don't want our houseguests to be killed."

"... I see. So, tell me, what kinds of traps do you have here, anyway? I want to know as a... precautionary measure."

*Malefica smiled.*
"Well, we have the regular falling axes that can chop your head of if you happen to stumble over a thread. And we have the places where the floor suddenly escapes under your feet and you land in the basement, with the snakes. We have the ropes that grabs your ankles and leaves you hanging upside down until someone finds you, and you have the fishnet that falls over you and then hoists you to the ceiling so you look like a trapped fish yourself."

*Snake just nods, then frowns and pulls out a notepad and pen.*
"Okay, I've dealt with the first three before. The fourth, not so much. But, really, you need something more... effective. I could probably get past all of these with only maybe a scratch or two. Laser beams that set off an alarm if something touches them, though... That'd be effective. As well as in a corridor, for instance. Someone touches a beam, the doors slam shut and a toxin is released into the room. And yes, I have way too much time on my hands to theorize about things like this."

*Malefica smiled and looked at him.*
"Well, that's marvellous. The things we protect in this fortress are too unsafe. So I need a better way to secure them. I love your ideas. If I provide you with the things you need to set up the traps, could you set them up for me?"

"It's not like I've got anything better to do. There ARE other people from my time, right? I'm not exactly good at rigging up things like this alone."
*Snake seems fully set in his ramble/planning mode now.*

*Malefica thought for a moment, then shook her head.*
"If there are other people from your time, I haven't met them. But you could talk to Merlin, my adoptive father. He is a wizard who lives his life backwards. He often visits the future to study it. Oh, and I almost forgot. We have the elves, with their magic. I am certain they could help. But you will have to lead the work."

"Well... It'll have to do, I guess. Tell Merlin that I need..."
*Snake goes on and on about materials that he'll need for stuff in general.*

*Malefica picked up a notebook and started taking notes of the stuff he needed. She put the notebook in her skirt pocket and smiled to Snake.* "I will tell him, but it might take a while to get it. The dinner will be served shortly. Do you care to join us?" ((Please feel free to make a new thread where the dinner can be served ))

"It's either that or I just stay here. Lead the way."
