Welcome to Gaia! ::

She'd take in a deep breath, her face a soft pink color as she walked into the room. Her grey opticals would scan around the room till they fell on that of the person Camilla had spoken to earlier.

The Diplomat looked over the giant chicken animal, thinking to himself. Looking around, he noticed a scarf was hanging one of the stalls. Nodding to himself, he whirled and whacked the back of the maid's head with his scepter. She went out like a light, falling to the ground in a slump. (Autohitting I know, but bear with me)
Taking the rope out from his robes and taking the scarf, he dragged the maids unconscious body to a remote corner of the exotic stable. Tying her hands and feet together, he then wrapped the rope through her wrist and ankle bonds effectively hogtying her up. Gagging her with the scarf, he throw some hay over her to conceal her.
Turning to a window, he tapped it twice. It opened outwardly to admit a figure cloaked in shadows.

The man asked, "Is it time milord Vorlex?"
Dropping the buffon like accent, Vorlex spoke smoothly, "Yes it is time. Summon the rest of the men."
The shadow man smiled, though it could not be seen due to his facemask. Whistling, other shadow men crawled through the window, standing at attention by their commander. They threw off their cloaks to reveal ninja gi, black pants, bracers and other stealth equipment.

Vorlex nodded to each man in turn, rounding it off to a crew of eight. Swishing his scepter from side to side, he gave a chill smile and said, "Gentlement, its time to conquer this mansion."

Her cheeks would flush pink as her eyes would fly from the Dutchess to the three other figures around her. She'd then slowly and carefully approach the Dutchess, her hands folded neatly in front of her. When she spoke, her voice would be a bit shakey; "Th. Thank you ma'am."

"Well, me an' Becky wuz ridin', and so, it starte ta rain, an this were the closest stable ...."
Carl o'Donnell looked around, frowned, and then said to Becky:
"..'Membe' tha bar en rout, month ago, greenie?"
Becky saw how he pointed towards the other end of the stable, and licked her lips.
"Ya think?"
"Well, mayb'it nothing....... could ya pleas' help me look fo' thes'es stable's medical .... thin's, huh?
Carl and Becky started to look around, searching for .... medicals?

Then something crashed through one of the stableroof's windows.

"Good."
The Dutchess' look became serious, and she continued, looking at both Alexandria and Camilla:
"I need you to do something for me.
I came here with one of my pets, she's called Rummy.
Go to the Mansions .... Main entrance, and call for her until she comes.
Then, tell Rummy to get into Defender Mode, and return with her here.
Understood?"
Camilla nodded.
"Good, then off you go, you two!"

Then, they both went out the door, and Camilla closed it after them, and then said:
"You do what you've been told. Don't worry, i follow you, since i was told the same. Got it?"

Hawk shrugged apologetically. She was a bit confused but trying not to show it. "I'm sorry that I don't know where the medicines and things are kept. I'm new here as well. I can help you look, though." She finished seeing to Blinkey and located the feed bag, pouring both horses a scoop of oats as a treat. She looked up, dusting her hands, when she thought she saw something out of the corner of her eye... then it was gone except for a hole in the roof where the rain came in.
