Mm...These decorations are rather beautiful, aren't they?

[Even a creepy looking cloaked woman could appreciate the glittery lights all over the trees- flickering different colours as they ran up the stems and weaved their way through the branches. She could not deny that sometimes, occasionally, they Fae did put on rather lovely displays like this-

She wasn't talking to anyone in particular, but just her luck that as she reached out to touch the bark, a couple of leaves flickering down around her as if in a painting- that someone else would do the exact same thing!

It was only a brief feeling. Her eyes going wide as she felt it.

An absolutely icy terror, hand recoiling and shooting up to grip at her chest as their magic twisted its way into her heart- no, no, no not again, not again- where was Rule Breaker? If she could just- just- and then she set eyes on whoever was opposite her. Any sense of fear washed away, as the spell took hold.]

O-oh...you...? Ah- let me get that leaf off your shoulder for you~~

[Well if that lovey-dovey tone was anything to go by, she's fully prepared to dote on whoever she ended up stuck with for the next few hours-]

[After that mess, Caster had refused to engage in any of the Faeries' party preparations- and after her grumbling about the 'wretched Fae' one too many times, they had decided to play a prank and steal the precious Golden Fleece.

Dammit- Once she'd sent a quick broadcast to the network to try and find it, she set about searching the other Apartments for her Homeland's treasure, all the while hoping her cloak could hide the cursed piggy features they had granted her.

Don't mind her just knocking on the door-]

Excuse me- I'm from down the hall- has a golden object been teleported into your room, by any chance? The Fae are playing pranks.

[Caster hadn't yet realised that anything else was afoot, but she certainly wasn't trusting any of those mysterious mushrooms that were popping up!

On the other hand, she was happy to help gather them for the scientists who asked- and maybe try to play nice with the fairies in the process. The mushrooms may have seemed suspicious, but those wild berries did look delicious...

...Just one wouldn't hurt, would it?

As it turned out, even sneaking that one strawberry was more than enough! Caster didn't realise it right away- but as she got back to the work of gathering berries and mushrooms, the witch was unable to help herself from breaking into song.

An old Greek Sea Shanty or two, to smooth the work along.

She'd be mortified when this was pointed out.]

So this is where everyone's been taken...

[Caster had, thankfully, avoided being controlled by the Mushroom Fae- in fact, she had come here of her own accord.

She would have never described herself as a charitable person, not at all, but the witch fundamentally disliked the thought of these creatures controlling people against their will and dragging them down here like this. Perhaps...it was simply her nature as a Servant that fought against these things, hypocritical though it was for someone like her.

Well, she kept her enchanted dagger- Rule Breaker- close, keeping an eye out for anyone who might be affected. She planned to use its power to nullify the effect of the Fae's control- she just had to get the right opportunity.]
