hey! so! your friend is fucking ?? having a crisis

Do you mean John? What is the matter with him?

[The knight is worried, evidently. She goes over to where she believes @theoneingold might be, looking for him.]

[twin-sun-knight]

aalalalla pulling his wing alalalala

[She pulls John towards her, keeping him close with one arm, while the other searches for her sword.

Her own wings have opened now in response to the threat, and are noticeably puffed up.]

[twin-sun-knight]

*it looks around, the area they are in is pretty empty* I gonna be honest I just needed it get you alone

*it step out of the shadows, revealing itself to be the Keeper*

So. Caros missing.

-@the-bookkeeper-official

Oh, Bookkeeper; I had a suspicion it was you.

What do you mean? Since when have they been missing?

[This is concerning.]

[twin-sun-knight]

Is John alright? He's not responding!!

Hm?

[The knight wakes up, looking around the room the King put them in last night.]

What is the matter? @theoneingold, are you all right?

[twin-sun-knight]

Ugh... I cannot see...

[Well, she can, actually, see; but the world seems blurry; and if she continues looking to whatever the source of light may be, she will feel sick.

The knight rests her hand on one hand, closing her eyes and inhaling deeply. She stands up after a moment, trying to go towards the King; but she almost trips, and decides to simply sit down again.

She is aware enough to know that the tea the King had offered her had, evidently, contained some sort of drug. She did not think he had tried to affect her; perhaps someone else had given it to him.]

King... Are... Are you all right...?

[The only thing she can do is stay inside the room, near the door, and not allow anyone to pass.]

[twin-sun-knight]

*it is covered in some sort of unidentifiable black liquid*

… Hi.

-@the-bookkeeper-official

[The knight, quietly, steps away from the King; the analgesics seem to have worked, and he was exhausted.]

Hello, Bookkeeper. Are you well? What happened?

[twin-sun-knight]

Now I did. I shall handle this.

[The knight immediately stops petting the King, placing herself in front of him and facing the mimic.]

What are you doing here?

[twin-sun-knight]

maybe left , then : )

*`The pulling sensation on her left wing continues to grow, until it eventually is ripped off.*

No, no—

[The knight —now with tears forming in her eyes— wonders, for a moment, if this is a nightmare that she will wake up from. Nevertheless, each second the pain grows stronger, and she muffles a sob as the wing is ripped off and every nerve ending burns in agony.

It hurts. It hurts so much. There is so much blood.

Weakly, she calls for the King.]
