Voice - LOCKED TO UNSEELIE

[scorchedchivalry]

[There was a terrifying rage underlying Saber's quiet, controlled words.]

If you are not helping with evacuations, either go to the infant Jabberwock the Seelie forced into this world or join me on the battlefield to prevent the Seelie soldiers from doing any more damage.

Should you choose neither of these three options, pray that I never find out.


[ooc: Anyone requiring orders, here you go! Also, do not expect much as far as conversation from Saber.]

[chaoticwhimsy]

Hey! I was just about to call you. [Lumina's voice lacks a lot of her usual cheer, but she's managing.] So my imps told me the tricks for calming down the jabberwock, and I was talking to Waver and now I'm down in the Greenwoods looking for lavender. [Deep in seelie territory whoops?]

Anyway we think there's a way to calm him down so we can lure him back to the Queen, and I've been recruiting people but we kind...probably...need more? If you can spare anyone willing to come help when we know where he's going next?

[Also Lumina probably needs a keeper.]

[audio]

[scorchedchivalry]

I will send who I can. You will most likely have to transport them yourself.

Breathe, Saber.

voice; permaprivate

[scorchedchivalry]

I do not require breath. There are innocent people that need pulled from rubble, a child that needs brought home and soldiers that need stopped. Busy yourself doing something productive unless you wish to continue hiding in Seelie territory.

Saber.

[ There is a hint of concern in her voice, it feels as if a cloud of utter chaos has descended upon her in the last few hours. It was all she could do not to crumble under the weight of it. Are you alright? What is happening? and other such question hangs heavily in her voice, their disagreements seemingly forgotten if only temporarily. ]

voice » private.

[scorchedchivalry]

Master.

[And it was Morgana that would hear the waver in her voice, the small break in control. No, Saber was not alright. She wasn't harmed physically (much) but the wound she bore was deeper, inside her soul. Saber had never lost before, and though her forces on the field had decimated the Seelie, Caer Scima had fallen.

And that was defeat to the king that had never been defeated. Maybe Morgana would sense an uncanny familiarity in that rage, from her own experiences...

The strain she'd put on her Master's body, on her reserves, would only get worse as the rage... the white hot rage that Morgana had seen directed at her was focused on the Seelie.]

[gandere]

Saber, you can't just ask everyone to be involved like that. It... [ Isn't right. What energy she normally had in defending the rights of others has left her by now.

Not every person brought in was a warrior. Why should they have to pick up a sword and join in a fight that wasn't their own? It'd only be more lambs to the slaughter and Saber should know that so why? ]

You're letting it influence you. [ Accusingly said. ]

voice; unseelie locked

[scorchedchivalry]

The Monarchs have issued their decree. If people are not going going to follow it, I expect them to focus on saving lives. There are people that need to be pulled from the rubble, escorted to safe havens.

[There was a bit of a low growl from Saber then at that accusing tone.]

It is always influencing me. [Careful, Rin...]

[tacticalturtleneck]

After I save that Jabberthing, can I keep it as a pet?

voice;

[scorchedchivalry]

Ask me after you save it.

voice;

[akweks]

It was last sighted moving South, but it is important to note that it is swift.

voice;

[scorchedchivalry]

Those in need of swifter transport need contact the Impling, Lumina, for assistance.

[andallbite]

[ Damn. He's heard Saber get mad before, but never like this. But Eren wholly understands—he's angry, too. Enough that he doesn't hesitate for a second to offer— ]

I can still fight. [ Tired and worn as he may be, though he's isn't injured (anymore), and that's what counts. ] Where are you?

[scorchedchivalry]

I would rather you go to the Jabberwock, scoop it up in your arms and carry it back home.

[video]

[edgar_of_etheria]

I need to be here to protect those coming to the spire and its holdings. But I will ask the trolls to send whoever they can spare. May you carry fortune's favor.

[voice]

[scorchedchivalry]

[Saber is refusing to use video.]

That is helping with evacuations. The trolls will be welcomed.

[voice]

[wipedclean]

[Ah. Official orders. Sort of. He was planning on staying and continuing to fight anyway, but he has a question.]

Understood. I will continue fighting.

Is there a strategy?

[Because otherwise he's just going to keep doing what he's been doing, which is... killing every single Seelie soldier who gets close to him. But if there's some sense to troop movements and some way he can be more useful, he would like to be directed correctly instead of just... going at it.]

[voice]

[scorchedchivalry]

Drive them south into the teeth of the other half of our forces advancing northward from Maupertius. We will crush them between our jaws.

voice

[benumbing]

I belong on the battlefield, at the sides of others.

[He's not a babysitter for any beast, and he's not dead yet.]

voice

[scorchedchivalry]

Then I will see you there.

[desperate_times]

The Pearl is nearly ready to fly! I hope your soldiers know to stay out from under it.

Is Ganondorf's army approaching the battle? They better not be fashionably late. Talk about awkward.

[scorchedchivalry]

Worry not about my men. They have been fighting with air support. Lord Dragmire's forces are en-route.

[liven]

Lumina already asked me for help, so I'm doing that.

[ why is she bothering to report it, though... ]

They're being very vicious for people who think they're "nice", aren't they?

voice;

[scorchedchivalry]

There is no place for 'nice' in war. War brings the beasts out in all men. Great speed to you and Lumina.

[erythristic]

When Lord El-Melloi or Lumina has a definite location on where the Jabberwock is, I request permission to leave the front lines to go to it. Until such time, I will continue to fight alongside you, commander.

[scorchedchivalry]

[Saber thought on this a moment. Grell was a fine knight and Saber wanted her fighting with her. But if she had reason to pull from shedding Seelie blood toward the Jabberwock...]

Permission granted.

voice

[huntedby]

If any are injured, try to direct them towards me. I would go out myself but I currently have my hands full with refugees.

If you need anything in my power, Saber, let me know.

[She just can't go out and fight the thing.]

voice

[scorchedchivalry]

I entrust coordinating the evacuation to you, Baroness. [Vanessa is vying with Ariadne for position as Saber's favorite Baron.]

locked to Saber

[kyosu]

[ WELL WELL WELL, turns out leaving the castle was the right call. ]

If there's anything I can do...

[ ...stranded on the 10th Spire with no means to get anywhere near... ]

[scorchedchivalry]

[Whelp, if there's anyone that knows exactly what's trying its damndest to control Saber right then, it would be Sakura.]

Contact your sister and tell her that you are alive. I do not care how much you and her may not want to talk, just let her know that you are alive.

[zerotohiro]

General Saber. [He'll keep this short and fast, promise.] I know you said to head to Spire Ten to help Baron Edgar, but I'd like permission to wait until the jabberwock is caught. I--this isn't fair. [What the Seelie are doing, the war, anything.] I have some ideas I want to run by Lumina to get it back.

audio;

[scorchedchivalry]

Your ideas are welcomed. Proceed, Hiro.

( Dear God that is a lot of anger for one woman. Elizabeth has never thought to see the day when she might find someone with a more temper terrifying than her mother, but perhaps that day has come after all. )

Good lady, I am assisting those whom have survived to the best of my ability. But that poor creature.. I shall pray that it will be returned to us unharmed.

( Quietly: ) It was terribly frightened. I cannot help it myself from here, but were it to rain upon the road taken by those who mean to do it harm, would that help? My magic might reach that far.

voice »

[scorchedchivalry]

It will certainly help, but if your magic is better reserved for those in need at Caer Scima or one of the surrounding Spires, I would rather you focus it there.

King of Knights...

I am currently assisting Waver Velvet in dealing with the Jabberwock, but if there is anything more that I can do, name it.

voice

[scorchedchivalry]

Take what Seelie you can that try to slay the beast. I care not how.

[kill them, recruit them, maim them. whatever he wants]
