Tristan was trying to woo Luna, only to let out one MASSIVE fart and his companion, Fyror, has had a heart attack out of nowhere. Our trained resident badass, Amarantha, believes herself to be poisoned with belladonna. Luna is hearing voices and poor Skaoi, she just walked into one hell of a clusterfuck... Now, let's see what happens next... Fyror's condition is rapidly deteriorating. If there were a fully staffed medical ward and [b]Physik[/b] cures available - perhaps a few [b]Magyk[/b] users on hand - he would have a 50% chance of survival. As it is now, his heart has stopped beating and he won't be waking up anytime soon. Amarantha is going to start seeing spots, but she will still be conscious and in control of her faculties. As for Tristan...He's going to feel like he's having one massive anxiety attack and a bit of shortness of breath - building pain in his chest as well... [@LadyRunic]: Esmeralda stared at Rhys for a moment, still unable to see through his disguise. But she had conducted a runic cast earlier and knew that a man of his appearance would enter her shop, carrying information about her son - the son that had been missing for years after she let her no-good brother watch him for a month. In a fluid movement, she had pushed Rhys onto a chair and was practically straddling him, a knife to his throat. "Ya wanna try that again?" she asked him, her words filled with venom. The blade cut into his throat slightly - not enough to seriously wound him, just enough to let him know that she meant business. [@mnkee][@BlueSky44]: Look as much as she does for Myrus, Valda won't have a clue as to where he is. She would have better luck just sitting down and waiting for him to start looking for her. However, Lyra will spot a rat scurrying around the halls. It seems to have come from the southern passageway that leads to the attic quarters of some servants. Yet the cacophony of the infirmary is echoing through the halls as well and will most likely need their attention... [@FantasyChic]: Constance nodded, coughing up a bit of blood as she thought. Her brain felt like it was glitching when she had coughing fits, as if it was disconnecting with the rest of her body. And simultaneously, she felt as if she were on the verge of some greater understanding...another plane of being altogether. Jezebel looked at her warily. "Please tell me you ain't about to collapse, bitch," she muttered. However, something did come to mind for Constance, and she eyed Crow warily for a moment. "Not in mixed company - I don't trust warlocks," she scoffed. "Of course," Crow said, giving a smile. "I'm sure you will succeed in creating a new dawn, Witch Messiah..." he then swept out of the room, leaving just the girls. Constance then cast a quick [b]Silence[/b] spell, preventing anyone from eavesdropping. "There's..." she coughed up blood, her skin turning a sickly grey - like used and faded charcoal. Her veins were prominent and dark and she stumbled backwards, hitting the wall. There was a certain fear in her eyes. This was Stage Three - the next stage was a coma. "...Hellfire..." she muttered, before Jezebel caught her, looking at Fleur with worry. "We need to get her to bed now," Jezebel cautioned.

If he didn't start to drink his tea soon, she had half a mind to [b]Cause[/b] him to drink, whether he cared for it or not. He was ill and as his guardian, it was her duty to tend to her apprentice in this time. She supposed that she could have just ushered him off down to the Junior Apprentice Dormitory with the others and written him off, but she found that distasteful when there was a perfectly good spare bedroom on the 21st floor. [color=#9B30FF]"Hunting werewolves, of course,"[/color] Arya told Cuyler with a slight smile. When not having to act as a representative of the Castle, she could be a bit more carefree and playful. There were slight hints of the person she might have been without the enormous burden of ExtraOrdinary Wizard - especially in a time with an untried Witch Queen. She then looked at the herbs he had pulled from his pack with curiosity, not recognizing any of them. She took another sip of her tea. [color=#9B30FF]"Perhaps we might take these to some of the [b]Physik[/b] women who live in the Forest...I must confess, I do not know what these herbs are and I would hate to waste precious resources. They would be more apt to use them for the care of those poor souls afflicted with this illness."[/color] She then glanced at Atkin for a moment, feeling another pang of guilt. She never should have taken him on as her apprentice - he had been doomed to death by either illness or the [b]Queste.[/b] [color=#9B30FF]"...That is the object of the lesson, of course. Learning the essential skills for practical potion making - [b]Magyk[/b] free due to Atkin's condition."[/color][hr][hr][center][h1][b][i][color=#FF0000]Myrus Silvers[/color][/i][/b][/h1][img]https://i.postimg.cc/T1TRt3W8/tumblr_n7gcnq_FIp_Z1tyb6r8o3_500.gif[/img][hr][color=#FF0000][b]Location:[/b][/color] the Palace - Attic [/center][hr] Myrus held his breath for a moment, sitting on a dusty crate covered in a white sheet. He was a bit scared, yet he knew that it had to be done and he searched his pockets for a moment, finding nothing that was particularly useful. He took off the bracelet and ring that he wore, setting them aside. A dusty knife near the window caught his eye and he walked over to it, picking it up. [i] Myrus was scarcely six years old, sitting in bed as his father, Fendrel, looked down at him with a smile. He slipped a ruby red ring off of his finger and held it out to Myrus. "This ring has been in my family for generations - the Silvers family, not the Royal Family - and is passed from father to son..." "What does it do, Father?" "It's a guarantee of safe passage through the hellfire," Fendrel explained. "As long as you have this ring, you will be allowed through, my son."[/i] Myrus' eyes glanced back at the ring, shaking his head slightly. He took a shuddering breath, recalling something he had heard one of the ghosts say about his father. He doubted it was true - but lately, he also just didn't know what to believe...Could his father have been such a man? He just didn't know, as he picked up the blade and made a clean cut on his lower left arm, staring at the blood that blossomed from the wound and hit the ground in tiny droplets. It stung more than it hurt - yet at the same time, he felt an overwhelming sensation of relief and ecstasy. But it was ephemeral and Myrus drew his blade again, creating another wound close to the other, the ruby red liquid pushing itself out to the surface as his body ached and his soul cried out into the darkness. [hr][hr][center][h1][b][i][color=#cc33ff]Antonije Magnisky[/color][/i][/b][/h1][img]https://i.postimg.cc/j50qJXxS/LDZC.gif[/img][hr][color=#cc33ff][b]Location:[/b][/color] Number 40 Alchemie Way - the Basement[/center][hr] Antonije chuckled, thinking for a moment as he tried to come up with a description for just how [i]awful[/i] Sylvi's hair was. It looked like a rat's nest - or perhaps a burrow that some creature in the Badlands would make to avoid being spotted by a Port Witch and becoming the Coven's dinner. [color=#cc33ff]"Silvija, it's just [i]bad[/i]!"[/color] he emphasized with another laugh, before he got up and out of the bed, tugging all of the blankets off of her and tossing them aside with a smirk. It was the same way he got his siblings out of bed - just take away the source of warmth. [color=#cc33ff]"Maybe I ought to cut all of your hair off, actually, could be easier that way..."[/color] he mused, looking like he was seriously considering it. He then headed over to the dresser, grabbing some clothes and throwing them on. He wasn't going to put on his nice clothes until he absolutely had to. He figured they'd look horrible if he did anything else - probably get a million different stains that Myth would interrogate him about. [color=7ea7d8]"They're called diesses!"[/color] Marya explained to Myth, sticking to [b]Myde English[/b] that way she could be understood. It annoyed her that Myth didn't speak Serbian, but on Myth's wedding day, she decided not to bug her about learning it. Not this early, anyways. Perhaps later on in the day that could be arranged. She then seemed to become a silver blur for a moment, before she was there on the couch again, a piece of paper in her hand. [color=7ea7d8]"Huh, Tata, seems you got a fan..."[/color] Marya mused, before she handed the letter to Myth.
