As soon as Kara receives the letter slipped under her door, she changes. It's a flurry of speed that ends in a red cape spilling from her shoulders. She picks up the envelope, just the corner, between two fingers. What in Rao's name is this?

An invitation. That is... not what Kara's expecting, amidst all the confusion. Usually her kidnappers would have revealed themselves by now - who was even keeping her here?

There's noise outside Kara's window, and she rushes forward - more prisoners, they have to be prisoners, are all walking toward the location of the party, if the mental map she has of this place is correct.

Without hesitating, Kara flies from her window and over the heads of the people going to the party, surveying a few steps forward and then slowing down to hover over them. She's not sure how she can help them yet, but she's darn well going to try. If nothing else, the prisoners here will need hope.

When she arrives on the scene, she's stunned, landing on the ground quietly in the middle of everyone else and staring at the horrifying scene around her. What... what has happened? It's almost impossible to take in.

And then there's a thud. Kara whips around, to the girl fallen, frozen in terror. Kara rushes over, sinking to her knees next to the girl, and immediately checks for vitals. Two fingers to the neck, tucking her hair back so she can listen for a heartbeat -

There's nothing.

Kara jerks her head up, looking at the other prisoners who, for the most part, look as appalled as she feels.

"Does anyone know how this happened? Who did this?"

She has to keep a calm head about this. Be a protector. No matter how much her stomach is turning right now.
