"I believe I can make this work..." Tabitha takes Axes and replaces character skill "Center" with "Renewal"

Tabitha looked at Fey and gave a solemn nod. The adrenaline and anger pumping through her prevented her from truly expressing to her friend how much this act meant, and the closure she would hopefully receive from bringing justice to King Darcy. She slowly walked towards the pitiful man before her, thought about everything he's done, all of the lives he's ruined, and the people he's taken from her. "Because of you... Because of people like you she had to die." She could feel anger welling up inside of her once again. "Have you ever stopped to think what happened to those who's lives you ruined. HAVE YOU EVER STOPPED TO THINK OF THOSE LEFT BEHIND BY WHAT YOU'VE CAUSED!" Tabitha clenched the axe in her right hand holding it so tight that it began to twitch along with her hands. Her left hand was clenched deeply into a fist, blood boiling inside of her. "Darcy... Do you know that magic has multiple purposes. It can be used for both healing and torture?" Tabitha fought back to her recent scuffle with Shin, how something vile inside of her had been awoken, and she realized that due to her abilities she'd be able to vent her frustrations endlessly. She knew she wasn't a good person anymore, once the only person who brought joy into her world was taken away, Tabitha realized pursuing piety was a futile task. "You're gonna spend the rest of your life in a state of constant agony, think of it as repenting for everything you've done. I want you to feel the pain you've inflicted on others. I want you to realize that we're not going to allow your current twisted world to go on any longer. I SWEAR, I'LL HELP CREATE A WORLD WHERE FILTH LIKE YOU CAN'T HURT ANYONE ANYMORE!!" With that Tabitha had said everything she felt necessary. Darcy should be aware of his place as her punching bag, she was an angry woman with a role in Virtuous that required her to calm her temper to not cause another scene. She couldn't afford to make anymore mistakes, if that required her soul to be forfeit due to torturing others so be it, she was used to taking the "gods justice" into her own hands. "I'm going to enjoy scraping your face off the palace floor once we're done here." With that last remark Tabitha grabbed the axe with both of her hands, swinging it downwards and smashing Darcy's head with the blunt end. She looked downwards at the pitiful man hurling towards the pavement and spat in his general direction. She didn't feel any better, but felt some form of closure.

Just the idea of letting King Darcy live just another moment made her blood boil. She wanted to strangle him and watch as the his life slipped away from his body, she wanted the sick enjoyment of taking another life, but deep down she knew that this would only provide a temporary support for her violent emotions and that ultimately she would be left unsatisfied. "You know, when I served time as a sister we were taught the concept of repentance, working hard to not commit the same sins you've spent your life committing. I think more than anyone I want this asshole dead, but even I'm not stupid enough to think that killing him will bring back everyone he and his fellow goat-lover have destroyed. I hate him, and I wanna kill him with my own two hands..." She pauses and looks downwards and back up again towards King Darcy. "I want this monster to spend the rest of his life in agony, I don't want him to have a singular moment he's not in pain regretting every single action and every life he's destroyed, think of it as attempting to repent for all the misery he's sown." Tabitha had more she wanted to say, but in this moment it was taking ever fiber of her being to control herself, to stop herself from running over there and slamming his head into the pavement as many times as her anger would allow it. She was tired and unsatisfied.

Upon dodging the knife assault from King Darcy, Tabitha could only utter one single word as she looked down upon the corrupt ruler. "Pathetic." In this moment she wanted to fight back and clobber him like no tomorrow, but she also knew that unfortunately her revenge was second to her teammate despite how much this agitated her. She mumbled to herself as she knelt down beside Arthur. "One of these days...." Tabitha to G5 and HEAL Arthur

Tabitha to G6 and use HEAL on Cecily.

Tabitha of course was angry. She was angry at the way Darcy was talking about that man, claiming him to be a pious noble, one of recognition and praise. But most importantly, she was mad at herself, she had never considered the possibility that the women who were set free from Pud's brothel would be shipped out to another den of sin. Finally she was angry at the gods who would allow this to happen. She clenched her free hand into a fist tightly. "The only Goat that monster Pud is going to deal with is the one who is tearing into his hindquarters in deepest pits of HELL. You claim to be saving these women yet don't even know the damage that MONSTER did to them, all the lives he ruined, all the lives he TOOK?" Her fist clenched tighter, her rage was boiling inside of her. "People like you are why the gods abandoned us. You claim to be using your royal status to help people how stupid do you think your people are? You've NEVER had to deal with the consequences of your actions, do you even KNOW what the effects of your lavish life of pleasure has on your 'loyal subjects'? Have you ejaculated any semblance of thoughts in your brain, or are you genuinely that stupid to not realize the utter depravity that pours out of your mouth like shit from a cow?" At this point her nails were digging into her hand, causing a small trickle of blood to leave her palm. The rage inside of her turned into a deep sadness. She felt warm tears fall down her face as she continued to berate Darcy. "DO YOU EVEN KNOW THE DAMAGE YOU PEOPLE CAUSE... IF... IF IT WASN'T FOR YOU, SHE WOULDN'T HAVE..." Tabitha stopped and hung her head low sobbing for a moment. She regained her composure and looked upwards. She was about to put herself in danger yet again, and ultimately cause more trouble for Kane and the others, but for her own selfish reasons she needed to let Darcy know that his lavish lifestyle was coming to and end. Tabitha removed her mask and looked upwards towards King Darcy with fury in her eyes. "Look into my eyes you piece of SHIT. They carry the burdens of those who had to deal with your little pal Pud. Every single person who's life he ruined, their sleepless nights, their ruined family and stolen dreams. You claim to have beaten the monster that killed Pud in a fit of rage, but you've failed to realize that monster was staring at you this entire time. When you get sent to the same goat sex ring of hell, make sure to tell Pud that Tabitha Bellmonte sends her regards, and hopes that for the rest of time you enjoy suffering the same pain you inflicted on others." She put her mask on wiped the blood off of her hand on the bottom of her robes. "Darcy, I don't care if I have to rip you apart with my own two hands, you won't be surviving this encounter, and I'll make damned sure that I can support everyone to make this a reality."

Tabitha upon hearing this mumbled to herself: "Scum like you shouldn't get the choice of whether or not you get the opportunity to be wiped off your palace floors after we've smashed your skull in" Much like Baldur, Tabitha was appalled at the sight that stood in front of her. She didn't consider what stood in front of her to be human, he was lesser than that. Ultimately, he reminded her of someone she wish she could forget. His manner of carrying himself with an air of self-importance, the way he had numerous women draped around him, and the fact that his power over these women would allow him to do this with no consequences. But most importantly her eyes were drawn to the clumsy girl, the way she tried to separate herself from the other girls, and more importantly from King Darcy. She had seen this sight before, and it was this sight that stoked the fires within her, she could feel another outburst coming and she could feel the beast inside of her wanting to break free, desperately wanting to slaughter this subhuman filth. However she'd been through this before. If needed she could simply just bottle up her emotions and save this outburst for something or someone else. The mission had to come first.

Tabitha nodded at the single and fumbled with the key thrusting it into the keyhole jiggling it for a second and then turning it. USE DOOR KEY. There was a small noise as the door unlocked. She mumbled to herself under her breath. "If I had my woodcutting axe we probably would have been able to get this done faster." To attempt to lighten the mood from her recent outburst she turned to her companions and flashes a quick thumbs up, then turned around and kicked the door open. She regained her composure, "Door's open now."

Tabitha to L15 and Heal Cecily

Tabitha use HEAL on Reiko

Tabitha to I13 and HEAL Baldur. Tabitha stared down at Orchid laying on the ground unconscious. She was angry at him for making a stupid mistake but at the same time felt she needed to calm down given her last incident. However given she knew Orchid could take it she slammed her staff into his back and began to heal his wounds. As she worked her magic she prayed to gods she didn't believe in and asked them for strength, patience and common sense for her teammates.

Tabitha stared at Reiko noticing the freshly inflicted wounds that now adorned her body. She wanted to go help her, but the threat of being ambushed by to the north and east of her position made her push that thought back into her mind. Surely Orchid could handle doing such a task. Tabitha to I17 and HEAL Mim.

"..." Tabitha to K18, and HEAL Fey.

Things had been rough for the past little while to put it lightly. Tabitha unsure of whether or not she had the right to say anything silently stood at the back of the group, watching and waiting to see when someone might require her assistance. Tabitha to K-19

She felt like a child. Whether it be because of her outburst or being carried by Fey, in this moment she felt a rush of somewhat comforting embarrassment. Despite her feelings, she knew this was the right thing to do. She let her arms dangle as Fey carried her and sighed heavily before muttering something. "Thank you..." As she was placed down she silently nodded to Fey then to everyone around Mim. As she knelt down she used Arthur's shoulder to get herself stable, despite not having suffered damage during this last encounter, her legs were shaking for other reasons. Then she began to work on healing her to the best of her abilities. "I'm sorry I took so long, you're not going to die here." As she worked on healing Mim one phrase repeated itself in her mind. "I'm a monster."

Tabitha didn't have much else to say in this situation. She stared back at Kane and knew what she had to do. She picked up her staff and went back to healing Shin. Once he was conscious she would head to Mim and then to Baldur. She tightly grasped her staff and continued to cast healing magic on Shin, feeling that she could snap the wooden rod at any moment. Her rage had subsided, but her feelings of anger towards herself continued.

Tabitha was taken off guard by this and felt herself topple to the ground as Liza launched herself at her, as she hit the ground her staff flew out of her hand. "YOU..." Tabitha stared at Liza with scorn in her eyes. She thought about pushing her forward and bludgeoning her with her staff, or thinking of ways she could rip her Liza cleanly in half. She was angry at Shin, angry at the Icons of Sin, angry at Liza, but most of all angry at herself. "He's not the only one who see's little value in themselves." She turned her head and looked away, realizing that she's done enough at this point. She sighed heavily and braced for whatever Liza was about to do to her.

Tabitha looked down at Liza tearing up, admittedly she felt bad for raising her voice but knew that at this point it was necessary. "Look if you knew you'd be no help why did you think throwing yourself into this situation would be the right thing to do. Honestly." She walks towards Shin and places her staff on his wounds and begins to heal them. She turns back to Liza and smiles as if to say "I'm sorry for what I'm about to do" before turning back towards Shin. When he's in a somewhat stable condition she takes her staff and places it standing upwards into the sand. She then almost instantly pulls her left foot up and drops it down on Shin. She continues to do this with increasing intensity each time, eventually resulting in her starting to kick his sides. "YOU. ABSOLUTE. BRAIN-DEAD. IDIOT. HOW DARE YOU WORRY ME LIKE THAT. HOW DARE YOU THINK SO LITTLE OF YOURSELF YOU'D THROW YOUR LIFE AWAY IN A SITUATION YOU KNOW YOU HAD ZERO POWER TO CONTROL" She hated losing control of her emotions, she felt like a monster as if some part of her was telling her to rip him apart and leave anything behind and without thinking she let something slip out. "DON'T YOU DARE SAY YOU HAVE NO VALUE ROSE..!" Immediately after her outburst she picks up her staff and begins healing him again. Once that's finished she continues to beat him to a pulp and heal him again as if repeating this cycle of needless violence would somehow help in this situation.

Tabitha got up from her kneeling position and immediately upon being ordered by Liza turned her head towards her and towered over her staring down with what could only be described as some form of territorial malice. "I'm sorry but you don't get to tell me what to do in this situation. I'm the only one who isn't close to death who can use healing magic aren't I." She clenches her fist and lets the blood trickle down from the palm of her hands onto the sand of the lake-shore. She's angry, of course she has to go and heal Mim and Baldur, she of all people know's this well, but right now they not Tabitha's priority. Whether it be because of her hitting him during their first encounter, or some other self-serving reason Tabitha refuses to leave from the lakeside until she knows for certain Shin will not die. "Scarlet you want Snowbird not to die so badly I suggest you get out of my way and let me finish doing MY JOB here so I can move onto her next." She continues glaring at Liza and spitefully adds on "Or did you expect to stop the internal and external neck bleeding in his neck with a simple vulnerary?" She preps her staff to heal Shin as he's being taken out of the water.

Per usual there wasn't much for Tabitha to say in this situation. What had transpired with Death and the others and now what was currently going on with Shin. She felt her nails dig into the skin of her hands as she clenched her fists, her hands trembled as slow stream of red trickled down from part of her hand where her fingernails met the palms of her hands. Upon seeing Shin topple into the lake something inside of her broke, whether it be because of his wiliness to give up on life or the emotions she tried to bottle up in the previous encounter it was if every part of her body was telling her to "get mad" and to "take action". Without considering the consequences of grabbing her weapon, she picked up her staff and began to stumble towards the lakeside. She skidded to a halt by the side of the water and grasped her staff in her right hand, using her free hand to act as a megaphone of sorts. "GOLDEN EYE! YOU BETTER NOT LET THAT IDIOT DROWN! I REFUSE TO ACCEPT HIS DEATH UNLESS ITS DONE BY MY HANDS CLASPED AROUND HIS SCRAWNY NECK!" Despite her spiteful tone, and rather crash choice of words more than anything Tabitha was begging Fey to not let another person die in front of her. She slammed her staff into the lakeside and keeled down beside it folding her arms and for the first time in years Tabitha uttered a reluctant prayer to the gods.

Tabitha to P14 and HEAL Baldur. She gets close to Baldur and as she heals him a smirk fills her face. "Glad to see someone's back to his old self..."

Tabitha watched as Shin was pelted with meteors. Horrified she watched his signed body plummet to the ground. Both Liz and Kane's words echoed in her head, but she knew what she had to do. "How many times are you going to nearly get yourself killed! DAMMIT!" She bit down hard on her upper lip and began to run in the opposite direction. "DON'T GET YOURSELF KILLED BEFORE I COME BACK!" Tabitha to N15 and HEAL Kane. "Chew me out for my insubordination later, but right now you're my top priority." She clenches her fist tightly around her staff as she heals him. "I don't think you realize this but we NEED you alive right now, so you better not make me do this again."

Tabitha to N-16 and HEALS Liz. Moments after tending to Arthur (both physically and verbally) Tabitha cranked her head around to see (and hear) Liz's hand make contact with Baldur's face. Her immediate thoughts were "Those two really need to sort these things out and not have a physical altercation every time they head to the battlefield" which was then followed by seeing Liz heading off towards their enemies, Tabitha realized that if she didn't do HER job here, there's a very real chance that Arthur might not be the only collateral damage Virtuous suffers today. She quickly gets to her feet and rushes to follow Liz. She ends up poking Liz in the back with her staff and sighs heavily before staring her down. "Where do I even begin with you. I have an EXTREMELY long list of things I'd like to say to you right now but now isn't the time for that. You're angry and because of that you're going to make stupid rash decisions." She pauses and looks down at her feet and shuffles around a bit before looking back at Liz. "Look, I'm not going to make this a habit but just know I've got your back with whatever stupid decisions you need to make to set things right." Despite her words, Tabitha understood completely how Liz felt, had she not been granted a surge of adrenaline when the arrow fired she could easily have been in either Liz or Baldur's situation. A hypocrite, that's what she was.

After taking a second to take in what has just occurred to Arthur, Tabitha's eye's darted immediately to Baldur waiting to see if he'll make a move. She sighs and immediately jumps into action rushing past Baldur, placing her hand on his shoulder to shove him out of her way. Tabitha to K17 and use HEAL on Arthur. She kneels beside Arthur, nodding to Mim in agreement with everything she's said up until this point. "Look... I try not to make it a habit of healing people who make STUPID DECISIONS, but I'll make an exception just this once. But know that if you pull a stunt like that again I'll be there when Snowbird's done with you to reanimate your corpse so she can do it again." Tabitha taps Crimson with her staff and then stands up, getting ready for the skirmish to follow.

Tabitha after keeping to herself again for awhile felt a rush of adrenaline as she among the other surveyed the four figures in their way. Nodding at Lizaveta and Lenore's conversation she chimes in. "Guess we'll just have to make a quick detour and knock some heads in." Quickly after saying that she put her right hand over her mouth as if to mumble/think to herself. The name the group overheard Famine clicked with her, as if it had been one she had heard it before during her time at the monastery. Immediately she realized what was up. "Did I just hear one of them call another one of them Famine? Did they really name themselves that, how childish."
