video - open to both courts
[ Alice is outside of Caer Scima's courtyard in a brisk walk. She has the vorpal blade in one hand and elven sword in another. It feels strange, the sword. It's heavier than what she's used to and the way she uses it, she's not experienced in it. As usual, the way she attacks is frenzied, without a care of her own well-being, always bordering on being feral. She's already tried clubbing them with the knightmare hobby horse to no avail. The fact it didn't affect them leaves her visibly startled.]
It wasn't enough that we already made amends that we spilled blood on Death's Altar?!
[ She's cornered. Her mind's visions are twisted, there's a glimpse of something from her past. Fire. She is small, smaller than she is now. The way her visions twist together, it's hard to tell if it is a memory or a hallucination. She is small again, covered head to toe in bandages, wheeled down a dark, gloomy hallway by strangers-]
Stop it.
[ Alice warns holding out the curved sword. Now that her hands are shaking and she's nearly in a panic because what she fears most is fire.
You cannot help them.
But she refuses to fully succumb to this, she's never been this fearful in Drabwurld, not like this.]
[ She will not be pushed around, not anymore. She'll let the hounds of Hell have it by killing them. The horrified look on her face turns to a look of utter glee. She'll kill them.
She'll make sure they'll stay dead.
Because of the way she stabs them, even when they're dead.]

Action;
As such, Lancelot's presence was much more light and rejuvenating than it had previously been.]
Alice. [In a flurry, nine more arrows were fired in quick succession. The rate of firing was inhuman--just as quick as a semi-automatic weapon. More dogs collapsed, burning from the nature of Lancelot's holy presence.
Though--the use of his shard was still something new. Fairly quickly, he had gotten closer to exhaustion.]
Action;
He can see later how the hobby horse has no effect on them whatsoever. The familiar weight of her self-doubt sags on her shoulder where it could honestly be distracting for her.
Burning. Burns. It takes a lot out of Alice not to snap again, fall further into a psychotic break. She won't have it, she doesn't want anyone to see that, despite he's seen her at her worse. Alice is nearly getting there, seemingly enraged that they would dare threatening her friend.
She can't afford to get distracted again; she nearly falls, but quick to recover in the blue mist of butterflies. Once Alice has a nice clearing she can take a breather from the savagery that is her knife and sword work.
Alice feels ridiculous for her unorganized, chaotic attacks compared to those arrows. With a huff, Alice finally pulls her hair out of her face. ]
Lancelot.
