Welcome to Gaia! ::

A hooded man stands near a small 'well' like structure near the east wall of the castle, it seems with some effort he was able to slightly move the cold stone top. He can hear the spring water rushing up into the well from its hidden springs. Slowly and calmly he walks over to the forest tree line. From the cover of bushes he pulls a cart forward towards the well, the cart is loaded with a large amount of crates.

Pulling the top of the crates off with loud snapping cracks of wood, the man uncorks the vials filled with the silver death that gleam in the morning sun. He uncorks the entire section in a matter of minutes as though he had been practicing for this day. Then, carelessly he dumps the entire load into the spring well. One of many he is to hit today. Like a garden worker he walks away from the well with the cart not carrying to cover it back up soon to be gone from the scene of the crime.

Waking up, Black saw Katerina and smiled. She really was a sweet girl and even if she had a mean streak, not even she deserved to have anything that normally happened here happen to her. He at least hoped that what he told her was enough to keep her from getting involved in anything too serious. Giving her a simple kiss on the forehead, he headed into the main hall. At least now he wasn't waiting on anyone. Instead, he cracked open a book and just sat there.

Katherine walked down the stairs the main hall hearing Matachi was back. She wore a gown of imported silks from Rhina, they were a soft golden color that blended with her long golden hair. Which fell freely behinde her. She looked to Black and Matachi, it was clear she wanted to run up to Matachi and demand how it went and dance that he had made it back okay. She had more composure than that naturally.

She gave a bright smile and then again seemed to check herself and walked more into the main hall closer to the two of them. "I am glad in one piece." None of the reports of the sick had come in just yet but probally would start soon enough.

Matachi smirks "Well I am glad I came back in one piece as well." He says smirking "If you two don't mind me I am gonna go take a short bath and get into some more comforting clothes." he says to them "If that is alright with you Katherine?" He asks wondering if she could wait to hear what happen or want to hear it now.

The man that had been outside the castle earlier was now sitting in a bar drinking something that was his own from his own home. A smirk was on his face every time he took a drink. A loud crash would rock the bar room as a man collapses onto a table spilling everything to the ground shattering glass and creating a mess "So, Its starting." he says to himself smirking as he drinks the rest of his drink down. All at once it seemed people slowly started getting sick in certain areas of the city, but it wasn't rapid enough to cause a up stir yet.

"Yeah, been there and done that." Black told her without a problem. She really was her own kind of troublemaker. Just nothing that would cause as big a stir as a rebellion. Though in his own way, he had missed her, even if her father did suspect of him being like that. "If I had to describe her, she would have an attitude opposite of mine. She's about your age and I'm afraid of her."

Katherine cracked a smile only. She didn't speak because she had not met the woman as of yet. Nor did she know anything about her but was happy Black was happy. It made her think of Asami. "I wish Kari would come back to court."
((yall noticed we were at 27 people now we are at 2 cool )

((your resposable for them then. Everyone i invite I have personally seen play))

Katherine noded some she had things that needed to be done though. When they went in Katherine stayed in the door way as usual Mel was sitting up eating some soup that the kitchenss made that day. She looked up to him with a smile. "Today I am almost back to myself." Mel said her dark gaze shifted to Katherine. She bowed her head slightly but didn't say anything just looked back to Black.
