Some kind of metal head

Adult human, indifferent to pronouns, Knight Protective Services operator.

[basicbascinet]

Know the Knight Protective Services

Name: Bec, but answers to Knight Protective Services or KPS as well.

Pronouns: he/she/they

Age: early 30s

Sexuality: workaholic (ace)

Description: The main operator of the Knight Protective Services non-profit, an organization meant to provide knight-related support and information to all realms. Apparently there are supposed to be other people working there, but they are nowhere to be seen. Can come off as a grump sometimes but ultimately just wants the best for all fellow knights. Possibly a bit of a heretic but don't tell anyone.

ooc stuff:

Open to rp and asks from friendly strangers. I only ask to keep to the theme of medieval/early modern fantasy. The tone of the blog is jokey and lighthearted and it will probably stay that way.

Language: I curse a lot, if that bothers you, well, you should probably leave.

Nsft policy: I have no problem interacting with nsft, but Bec's reaction will be probably to stare at the camera like they're on medieval The Office.

Minors, don't try anything, you will be blocked and sent to the shadow realm to ponder why you are so eager to put yourself at risk.

Violence: not opposed to it either. I mean, this blog is about people who bludgeon each other with deadly weapons. Just don't be annoying about it, like turning it into a shonen manga dick-measuring contest.

Aurorian was seen with Helm while she was really drunk and then both of them disappeared from the masquerade by the way if you needed to be concerned about Helm's whereabouts and such even more than you already were?

FUCK.

[pearlescentknight]

Pearl. PEARL. I fucked up. I found Severino holed up on a room refusing to get out. So I broke in and he looked like death and no matter what I did he kept getting worse and fuck he hurt himself, I have him under watch in the castle FOR THE LOVE OF GOD HELP ME.

@basicbascinet

What. I I’ll see if I can get through to him or something. Oh my. Uhhhh do you know what might have caused this?

[basicbascinet]

I'm sure it was Helm. It did something to him. I'm afraid to even name my suspicions. He.. He feel into mania, sometimes turned catatonic. Wanted to leave the town at all costs and said disturbing things about himself... I've never seen anything like this.

[pearlescentknight]

Of course it’s that bastard- agh- never mind that, he’s manic? You didn’t let him go did you? Where is he now?

[basicbascinet]

Of course not. I have him in a room in the castle under close watch and very specific instructions to the servants. Though he will not be happy about once he wakes.

[pearlescentknight]

Alright, okay. Might I know the room that he’s in? I would like to watch over him. Oh, I hope his injuries aren’t too grave?

[basicbascinet]

Of course. The guest room, end of the east wing of the second to last floor. Ask the maids if you cannot find it.

I... I'm afraid he took a blade to his aorta. Hadn't I managed to get my hands on him immediately...

[pearlescentknight]

… dearest Gods. I thank you Bec, you’re too good for this world.

I’ll be going now.

A glance back

Should you ever need aide or funds, contact me. I know people.

[basicbascinet]

Don't say that. Please don't say that. The situation devolved into this because I could not handle him well enough. I did not want to lay hands on him while he was distressed, but I should have been decisive. It was weakness, as was sparing Helm all this time. I... failed.

[pearlescentknight]

You did not know how he would react, it’s not your fault and you know it. You handled the situation as well as anyone could have. As for Helm, we’ve all underestimated just how inhuman it truly is. You’ve been doing more than your best this whole time.

[basicbascinet]

Thank you, Perla. I don't know if I believe it right now but... Thank you.

[basicbascinet]

((Bec giving their big commander speech but it's Cave Johnson's lemon rant))

[basicbascinet]

I don't need sleep I need victory on the battlefield.

[basicbascinet]

At least I'm glad I don't have to deal with the result of the bear incident.

[pearlescentknight]

[basicbascinet]

Ser Bec, Apollonia and I have finished preparations to house and destroy any magical objects that are recovered from the camp.

If you require assistance removing them from the camp, simply whisper my name and I will come assist immediately.

@geminimeowdust

I will need that, in fact, Gemini. @nox-valeriusstream and I are discussing how to achieve this. I'm thinking when the armies clash and the camp is relatively empty could be our chance.

And... I'd like to you about Severino later. Grave news.

[geminimeowdust]

An empty camp does make stealing and sabotage easier yes.

They conjure a cup of coffee and hand it to Bec.

And…I know something has happened. Distressed is too soft a word, but I feel it. It is painful.

I mean to seek him out before things ramp up.

…We need him.

[basicbascinet]

Thank you. *they hold the cup and look down at the steaming drink, but don't seem inclined to consume it*

... I have put much on your plate, Gemini, but please help him. I tried, and I only made it worse.

Can you work out the details with Dame Nox? I'm afraid I just don't know the full range of your capabilities and what are the risks of removing the mirror.

@nox-valeriusstream

[geminimeowdust]

I will find Nox, I assure you.

Let me speak with Severino first.

I will return to give you an update.

[basicbascinet]

Thank you.

@madprincesshours @most-mid-lady-in-the-land

Ladies, I'd like an update on Aurorian's state with possible. And to thank Lady Elizabeth for the help with yesterday's sabotage.

[madprincesshours]

Aurorian's fur was quite soft and last I saw, Lady Elizabeth was assisting Aurorian to their room. All seemed to be going well when they rounded the corner.

@most-mid-lady-in-the-land

[most-mid-lady-in-the-land]

i got her to bed, finished healing her wounds, and let her sleep it off. it was awfully amusing seeing a big knight in my purple lace nightgown, but i digress. she slept it off, and i returned her to fulgere in the morning! and you’re welcome, you did excellent work, ser!!

[basicbascinet]

Not as excellent as I'd have liked. I'm glad to hear I didn't do irreversible damage. Again. *cough* I mean.

I also wanted to check back with you both, possibly with Princess K as well. We should have battle soon. We have precious little time to make our last preparations.

[most-mid-lady-in-the-land]

well if i can help, i’d love to! i fear i’m a fighter, not a soldier, i mean you’ve already seen how……not greatly i take orders haha. ha. ahem. sorry.

i have an idea on how to utilize my particular skill set! *she’s grinning wickedly*

have you ever read the odyssey, bec?

[basicbascinet]

I'm afraid I don't catch your meaning yet, princess... Although I have one last assignment that will require somewhat. Flexible morals. If you are up for it.

@madprincesshours

[madprincesshours]

Flexible morals you say? 👀

[basicbascinet]

Yes... Are either of you familiar enough with Princess K to know if she would be amenable to join a... Slightly illegal operation... inside the castle?

@most-mid-lady-in-the-land

[most-mid-lady-in-the-land]

well i’ve not interacted with her, but i have heard enough tales to think she shall be interested! i can send her a missive and invite her if that might help?

[basicbascinet]

Yes. Hear... We can't get to the camp at the moment. But the Viscount's family is lodged inside the castle. It would be fortunate if a few important ladies, with a significant guard, cleared up one of the wings for their privacy and kept the Viscountess and her daughters company.

I think that would make the Viscount much more amenable to negotiations. Especially if one of the ladies could keep the family charmed and content, with no desire to leave.

[knighted-lavender-auroras]

Aurorian? I wanted to apologize for your injury and poisoning. I miscalculated the effects in my rush to stop... Well, you know. I should have kept my wits about better.

@basicbascinet

(She jumps slightly at them appearing and covers her nose for a moment on instinct)

....I don't blame you for doing your job. But I definitely don't feel like my body or mind is right at the moment. Things're fuzzy in the bad way.

Fulgere's decided to continue helping the counter effort, so I don't know why you're apologizing to me for anything?

[basicbascinet]

... Because I hit you in the face? With a poisoned war-grade weapon? I hope you don't remember that, but it didn't look pretty.

[knighted-lavender-auroras]

...Yes, I remember that. I usually remember the events of the night blurrily once my human form returns. It hurt. But why apologize?

[basicbascinet]

oh dear god it's Severino all over again

Because it hurt. And it was deadlier than it needed to be. And I don't feel good about it.
