Welcome to Gaia! ::

[continuing from my last post]

Apparently curiosity would get the best of her, and Maple found herself following after them like a few of the others were. Her attempt didn't go without some mishaps of course, and the young girl wasn't sure if it was just her luck in life that she managed to run into a few objects along the way - along with accidentally stepping on a chicken somehow - or if the courtyard was just that messy to begin with. But, she had managed to hit a door as well before she got to the right door.

Though, she didn't know if she liked what she was hearing and if it had been a good idea. Cursed?! Was she cursed? Would she know if she was cursed? Maple's brows creased with worry and she made a small little sound of distress.

The entire thing was a mess. The courtyard was a mess. The Great Knights were a mess. His own knight had been sucked into a mirror and came out as the witch Morgana, and Bradley couldn't tell if he'd been the witch the whole time or if Morgana was just hiding in the mirror.

Then the gate disappeared.

Then it was time to do clean up. He made an effort help, sort of. He was unhappy he couldn't kill more of the horsemen and shadows. He was conflicted about the whole Morgan thing. He was a Red knight without a Great Knight. He'd step up to the plate, but he saw others with their weapons.

He had no sacred weapon.

Maybe he needed that first.

He watched Galahad wander off and wondered if he should go find out what happened. Or perhaps it was better to be left in the dark. No need to worry about things that didn't concern him.

Like if there were other traitors in their mist.

He was still clearing the courtyard full of items when that happened. In a booming sound the castle door opened and two persons---Great Knights stormed out, their faces flustered. What happened?

They walked so fast things below their feet are either kicked away or stepped flat. There must be something very important that they looked like that-

Rei acted as he wanted to pick up more rubbish to dispose of, but actually he tailed them; the two knights entered the barracks and locked the door.

Suspicious.
Rei gently pressed his ear to the door, listening closely.

...what?
He can't believe what he heard. The Great King...has been found? Dueling with Morgana?

The two knights bickered about what should they do next: should they both go and aid the king, or?

The conversation ended abruptly. Mordred will guard Camelot while Percival retrieve the King. As the footsteps nearing the door, Rei hides away in the trashbag he's been toting around.

After he can't hear any footsteps, he peeked out of the trash bag, surprising a passing knight.
Something is wrong, he thought, while following the sound of gasps.
[Rei exits!]

[ Enter ]

Somehow Camilla found her way back to the Courtyard... Rumble, Bodies, and the half desolved corpse of the giant shadow snake lay everywhere... It seemed odd that she might go from carnage to carnage... But the reason that she was here was a call to help clean up had been put out! She needed desperately to do something meaningful something worth while! And so here she was moving rumble and occasionally corpses... It was hard dirty work and yet to her surprise her Tabard stayed mostly clean... One more point for magic she guessed wearily... Finding out the Galahad was spearheading the clean up however put Camilla in slightly better spirits! She was very glad to see the Great Knight was safe and happily followed his commands on where to move what all while under his watchful gaze

Eventually though she needed a break... Silently she goes to sit down on a piece of rumble when her foot hits something... Seriously? Was this a thing with her now? "Hm?" she hums curiously then leans over to pick it up... What it turned out to be was a simple silver flask with no ornamentation... It looked like a knight had carried it into battle and likely lost it when they parished... Frowning Camilla opens it then holds it to her nose to check it's contents instantly she jerks it away and flinches back as the powerful odor of spirits hits her full on! "Eeep! Wooo are these powerful spirits!" she exclaims in surprise then quickly caps the flask! ...There was no way she was going to drink this! Just nope! And for a moment she considered returning it to where she found it... However after thinking on it she slides the flask into her belt before sitting down the alcohol could be useful for treating wounds later

Finally after a few minutes of rest she stands up then stretched a bit ready to get back to work it was then after bending down to pick up the stone she gad just sat on that she saw him! "Hm? Ah! Shayne!" She gasps then exclaims forgetting the rock Camilla made to go over to him but was intercepted by Galahad and a small slue of knights "H-huh?" she mutters disappointedly before it is explained to her that a plague of some kind was spreading through the castle and all Knights needed to go to the dungeon for quarantining! Frowning sadly Camilla nods then after one more look towards Shayne allows the Knights to escort her down

Had Nellie not already been to the Tower and found that casket that triggered that particular vision regarding Mordred, never in her wildest dreams would she ever think of tailing both Galahad and Mordred to make an attempt at eavesdropping on their conversation. But she was there and she had her suspicions as to whether the Mordred whom she saw was a phoney who was out to destroy Camelot like the sidhe queen that had impersonated as Morgan.

She really should have been more careful going about this though for she walked directly into another knight in the midst of her own eagerness when she rounded the corner to get to the stable where both Great Knights were. Needless to say of course, she was escorted back to the courtyard by the same knight and given the task of cleaning up the mess for an hour while she reflected on her errant behaviour.
