[ You know what a month and almost a half of death death death and reading when not suffering has taught him about this garden? It's full of poisonous plants. At this point he isn't surprised, but it's pretty in its untamed way, and very lively. Without trying to maim someone. Shame though that it's not gonna last. The orders were before curfew for some reason, so that cut down on options. At least this place is empty now. Now to wait for the first victim. He isn't sure how to get Velvet here, Percival is a bit easier. Just imply that people are at risk... like Hajime, or Andersen... He's a good guy. Nagasone almost... no he does feel bad for using that.

Idealism hurts.

He's sitting under the lone, standing gazebo, with the sharp carving knife in his lap. Despite it being the messy overgrown garden, his clothes aren't his normal ones: plain, but clean shirt and slacks--easy to throw away save for his regular boots. Any moment now, Percival. ]

[Throughout the week she's had visions of Seres. It's nothing new to her. In fact it's something that's almost been... missing from her. At first, the visions are simple. They sit and talk, just as they would in her dreams. Velvet's certain it's not truly her, but then again it could be. It's easier to write everything here off as some illusion. But this time, the illusion doesn't sit by her. It stands off in the distance, as if waiting. And when she approaches, Seres moves forward again and it's clear she wants Velvet to follow her. So she does, figuring there's no harm in doing so. It's not even curfew yet after all.

Eventually, Velvet finds herself in the botanical garden and as she ventures further in, she can hear the sounds of a fight. When she finally reaches the source of the noise, she sees... What was his name again? Nagasone. He'd helped her with the cleaning supplies a while ago. Nagasone is wielding a carving knife, and it seems he has the upper hand. But when she sees his opponent's face, her entire body tenses up. She loses her breath, frozen for a moment. Because the man in front of her is none other than the Shepherd, Artorius Collbrande. A thousand emotions rush over her all at once because not only is Artorius here, right here, but... he's losing. And it's obvious to anyone watching that this match won't be the only thing he's losing.]

ARTORIUS!

[She runs at them both, but she's too late to stop Nagasone from delivering the finishing blow. Artorius' body falls to the ground. Without thinking, she rushes to his side, kneeling over him in what she knows are his last moments. This is what she wanted... this is what she's fought for for so long, what she's dreamed of for three years now. But one thought remains above everything else: I was supposed to be the one to kill you.]

Don't despair... no matter what... 

[Velvet stands up once more, her body shaking with rage. She looks at Nagasone for a second, before running and unleashing a fury of kicks and punches.]

You killed him! You killed... You killed Arthur! I won't let you walk away with your life!
