[IC] The Room

[LemonZest1337]

*Hanna squeaks in fear as she hears Silven walking over*

*She slowly stands up and turns to face Silven*

Hanna: H-h-hello.

*She sounds terrified*

[Vulkan 707]

*Jillian keeps her face placid, and is able to stand without being tackled.*
*Doesn't stop Merg's knife, but subtly places the muzzle of her pistol to Merg's side.*
Jillian: Mergoux. You are being accused of being a "butcher" and slaughtered innocent. Is this true? These knights plan to find you, and kill you without even letting you have a word... I am giving you the luxury to say your side before judgement, so speak true for your fathers sake.

[Overlord Thraka]

*Mergoux keeps the knife ready as she stares Jillian in the eyes*
Mergoux: What? No?! No it's not true! I'd never kill a innocent person. What knights are these that are hunting me?!
*She feels the gun in her side and slowly takes the knife off Jillian's throat, then her face twists in anger once more*
Mergoux: I've killed many people, too many to keep count, but not a one of them was not deserving of it. Rapists, murderers, slavers, scum, I slew them. Used them as a example to those who might think about doing the same. So yeah, I guess you could call me The Butcher, but only to those who deserve death.
*She stands back a few paces and glares at Jillian, angry to be caught like she was, unawares and defenseless*

*Silven stops as he sees Hanna*
Silven: Hello there... Are you alright lass? What's th' matter?

[LemonZest1337]

*Hanna shakes her head*

Hanna: N-nothing I'm fine!

*Her voice wavers and she sniffs the air*

*She shakes her head and runs off to the library*

[Vulkan 707]

Jillian: They call themselves the oakleaf knights, and are lead by Captain Anderson, if that name means anything to you.
*She crosses her arms, and glares at Merg.*
Jillian: Well then... it appears one of you two are lying. He says you slayed knights of his, and won't leave till he's checked this place thoroughly or you are found. and brought to justice.

[Overlord Thraka]

*Mergoux quickly walks over to her armor piled in the corner and jams her helmet onto her head*
Mergoux: Anderson... I don't know the name. As for those Knights, I might've killed one or two, they've got corruption in the ranks, just like any other military force... Scum can hide under that armor just as well as good people.

*She starts gearing up busily but pauses to look at Jillian*
Mergoux: Believe who you want, just tell me how many there are.
*Straps on her breastplate and starts fastening her greaves*

*Silven frowns and goes back to stand by Mergoux's bedroom door*

[LemonZest1337]

*Hanna sits in the library reading some picture books*

*She flips the pages slowly and makes sure to not let someone enter the library without her knowing*

[Overlord Thraka]

*Two knights enter the library and see Hanna. One looks around the library, poking around behind shelves and searching for non-existent secret passages*
*The other walks right up to Hanna and holds out another wanted poster for Mergoux*
Knight: You! Girl! Have you seen this woman?

[LemonZest1337]

*Hanna shakes her head*

Hanna: N-no. I-I've never seen h-her.

*Hanna's grip on her book tightens slightly*

[2BlackJack1]

*Lecter starts walking back towards the Room, but suddenly stops and draws a sword*
Lecter: Knew there'd be Devils.

Of course there would be Devils, Lecter. You are here.

*Lecter grits his teeth and turns around, and two cloaked creatures with the heads of beetles float into the air above him*
Lecter: It will take more than this to best me.

If I wanted you bested, I would simply do it myself. This is just a warning.

[Taeria]

*Elmyra returns from the outdoors as she has finished her garden. She strides into the mainroom and sets down her bag gently. She silently makes her way toeard the kitchen so that she may was her hands*

Elmyra: Sure hope that soil is fertile..

*She mumbles to herself softly and then decides to take a look around the room. There must be something to do that will pass the time. Elmyra walks out of the kitchen and notices the library. She smiles sofly and decides to make her way there*

[LemonZest1337]

*Hanna watches Elm enter the library then looks back at the knight in front of her*

*She slowly tries to slip away so she can get back to reading her picture books*

[Taeria]

*Elmyra walks into the library and sees the Knight and Hanna. She does her best to ignore their presence and tend to her own peace. She looks for books on magic and spells*

Elmyra: Hm...

*Elmyra finds a fee books then takes a seat a small and empty table. She begins to read quietly*

[2BlackJack1]

*Lecter suddenly comes through the front door, Karma flying past him into the kitchen*
*The Devil Hunter is nursing his arm, which has a large hole in it, looking as if it was impaled on something*
Lecter: Dropped my guard. Should've known he would have been involved...
*wanders through the Room looking for something to clean up the blood on his arm*

[Vulkan 707]

*Jillian rolls her eyes.*
Jillian: I'm not letting you hurt those men, some of them are innocent... and you sound just as bad as this captain fellow. Maybe you two can go duel outside, and kill one another, but I will not let you bring any more discord to this place. I will speak to him, and inform him to meet you outside, that's where we find the truth... cause if you are lying, or maybe lost in a psychotic rage... I will end you.
*She walks out of Merg's room, and heads towards where she believes the captain is. Gives a curt nod to Silvan, then notices Lecter barge in and looks concerned. jillian quickly runs up to him, and pulls out her bag full of medical supplies.*
Jillian: Lecter, what happened? And hold still.
*Starts treating his arm.*

[2BlackJack1]

*Lecter nods and holds his arm out for Jillian*
Lecter: I was attacked in the woods. Two Mephistos, they're Devils, tried to get the best of me. None arrived here?

[Overlord Thraka]

*Mergoux snarls*
Mergoux: Do as you want, I'll deal with them as needed. Just know that I'm not going to be the one throwing the first punch.
*Continues gearing up for battle, just in case*

*Silvan nods to Jillian politely then sees Lecter*
Silvan: Oh dear! Are you all right?
*He walks over towards him, then does his best to help Jillian*
Silven: What's a Mephisto?

*The Library knight promptly ignores Hanna once he's gotten the info he needs, and walks to Elmyra*
Knight: Excuse me mi-... Hm... Elf! Have you seen this woman?
*His tone goes from polite, to hostile as he notices Elmyra's ears and facial features*

*Captain Anderson and his fellow knight come out of the gym, having found no trace of Mergoux*

*Iris comes out of her room and stretches luxuriously, hair still wet from a shower. She walks towards the kitchen, not immediately seeing Lector*

[Vulkan 707]

Jillian: No we have not seen any new creatures, but you must tell us about what you fought.
*Jillian keeps treating Lecter's arm, as she does this she hears the knights giving Elmyra shit, and does not look pleased.*
Jillian: Silvan, gather up all the knights outside... right now. If they do not listen I will not hesitate in forcing them out. I will see that truth comes to light. Now go.
*Waits for Silvan to leave, before turning to Lecter.*
Jillian: I may need your assistance with these supposed knights... I fear that they are not as honorable as the knights where I come from.

[2BlackJack1]

*Lecter nods to Silvan*
Lecter: Still sucking air, so I'm fine. And Mephistos are Devils. One kind of many.
*looks back at Jillian*
Lecter: I'll explain the Devils later. For now, I will help with the knights.

[Overlord Thraka]

*Silvan hesitates briefly then nods*
Silvan: I will... try, I'm not exactly the highest man on the totem pole, nor exactly well liked by the others.
*He goes to the library and starts trying to get the Knight questioning Elmyra out to the outside*

*Captain Anderson and his fellow knight converse as they walk outside to check on the horses*

*The last knight has slipped away for a quiet drink at the bar*
