[chambermaid]

[ After lots of trying, she's finally able to get a clear message through, it's the same she's been sending for a while, and while fractured, it goes through, at least. She sounds frightened as she speaks.] Please my name is Gu░░░ I am in need of h░░░░░░░░░░ lost for some time now. And now I think there ░░░░░░░░░ chasing me. ░░░░░ not sure I can fend them off ░░ long.

Can anyone hear me? [ There's horrible screeching sound that echoes out and you can hear Gwen panting suddenly, like she may be running just as the feed cuts. Damn those ROUSes are quick. Seriously, guys, why aren't there swords or Wesleys on this ship?]

[suddenlycaptain]

[ Shit. ]

Gwen, right? Is there anywhere you can hide?

audio;

[chambermaid]

[ the answer comes a little later and she's whispering.] I'm hiding now. ░░░░ don't know what they are.

audio;

[suddenlycaptain]

[ Carolyn pitches her voice lower, not wanting whatever's hunting Gwen to hear her. ]

Can you tell me where you're hiding and what they look like?

audio;

[chambermaid]

[ if she wasn't shaking so much, she'd text but she's bad at it as it is.]

I don't know ░░░░ I am or what ░░░░ are. They look as though ░░░░ maybe rats? But they are too ░░░. [ She's try to calm her breathing.]

audio;

[suddenlycaptain]

Rats?

[ That's... new, which isn't really a good thing. ]

Can you describe where you are?

audio;

[chambermaid]

[ she lets out a breath.] I do ░░░ know. [Everything looks the same to her here.] A ░░░░░░ of some sort.

audio;

[suddenlycaptain]

A what?

[ Shaking her communicator a little, as if that will somehow clear up the signal from Gwen's end. ]

Are you armed at all?

audio;

[chambermaid]

A ░░░░░░, a ░loset. I have ░░░░░░, nothing at all.

audio;

[suddenlycaptain]

A closet? Okay. Is there anything sharp or heavy in the closet?

voice|

[redwinged]

Try to stay off the ground.

voice|

[chambermaid]

The ground? Why ░░░░░░░░?

voice|

[redwinged]

There are worse things, than the rats.
They won't be able to reach you there.

voice|

[chambermaid]

What things? [ She sounds alarmed. ]

voice|

[redwinged]

Don't think about them.
You need to keep your head clear.

voice|

[chambermaid]

My head isn't ░░░░░░░░. What is happening?

voice|

[redwinged]

You're being relocated.
Probably.

To where they live.

voice|

[chambermaid]

Who?

[prince]

Guinevere!!

[ wow this is upsetting, it's not often that arthur feels completely, one hundred percent helpless but knowing gwen's lost fills him with frantic frustration. ]

[chambermaid]

Arthur-- [ it's a whisper because she's hiding in a closet of some sort right now.] ░░░░░░░░░░░░ you?

voice oops

[prince]

I'm in the Gardens.

[ he swallows, hard. ]

D'you know where you are? I will come to you, if I can.

voice; <33

[chambermaid]

Don't ░░░░░░ it's not safe here. You may get ░░░░░░ too.

voice;

[prince]

[ there's the staticky sound of arthur smacking his device quite harshly, to try and get it to work. fortunately there's little that can easily break them. ]

Gwen. I'm not leaving you to—

[ he doesn't even know what's chasing her, or how to get to her, and chokes himself off, huffs a breath. ]

voice;

[chambermaid]

░░░░░░░░░░░░ [ there's nothing but static as she goes silent for a moment, waiting to make sure she cannot hear the skittering of the rodent's feet.] I took the ░░░░░░. And arrived here. I was lost. ░░░░░░░░░░░░ the lifts. It said ░░░░░░░░░░ [ She repeats it] G-E-N-E-T-I░░░░░░ [ the feet goes static but can probably make out her saying C]

voice;

[prince]

Genetic?

[ he actually knows what that is, vaguely, thanks to magneto. ]

That's the reason for people born with abilities like sorcery.

[ fantastic definition, arthur. ]

Be careful. Are you in danger now?

voice;

[chambermaid]

[ She doesn't know the word and hadn't been sure if she'd said it right, hence while she spelled it out. Her voice is quieter--] I do not know. I ░░░░░░ tell where they are. ░░░░ are like rats but more ░░░░░░, far more vicious. [ One bit her leg but she's able run for now.]
