A few days passed without incident, his new maids still getting used to their new routine, but slowly making themselves at home and learning the tricks of their trade. It was the early afternoon, and Juli knocked at the doorframe of his office.
"Good afternoon, sir. Were you perhaps interested in a cup of cocoa?" she asked, carrying said cup on a plate.

"Yes please, bring it in." He said listening to some music on his phone... specifically 'The Mummer's Dance' by Lorena McKennitt.

"Certainly", she said simply, bringing it to him, and holding up the platter to him. "I made it myself."

He sampled the drink. "Not bad." He said holding her hand for a moment.

She smiled... and then promptly collapsed, seemingly unconscious.
Just as Travis began feeling dizzy and nauseous. (OOC: Take 3 stones of stun damage.)

"The hell." He got on the intercom. "Status report! We are under attack!" He yelled standing up.

"We... are?" Genos asked back. "None of our alarms or security went off", he let out with concern.
Within moments, he, Grayfia, Gillian and Asia rushed to their Master's office, the latter whom was experiencing pain from what was likely a potent poison, clearly leagues above anything normal. (OOC: Lose 1w - or 3r - and 3 energy.)
Asia quickly used her Sacred Gear to scan her master's health. "...It's... a divinely enhanced mystical poison. It does not normally exist in the world, someone created this using both some sort of specialized poison power or magic, and boosted its capabilities via divine power..." she said, concerned. "I cannot heal it on my own."
"The Infinity Gauntlet's power exceeds that of most gods, however", Grayfia noted. "Either that, or one of our omnipotent maids should definitely be able to do something about it. Should I call them?"

"I see. Alert them at once, I want every Maid checked and treated ASAP." He declared using the gauntlet to try and wipe away the poison.

Soon enough the staff mobilized to figure things ou ASAP, while Travis managed to eliminate the poison from his body successfully, though not without difficulty. (OOC: Lost another 2w or 6r, and 6 energy, but you're cured now.)
Within minutes, Ajimu walked up to him. "...We have examined everyone with our powers, but no one else was poisoned. It was all you, master", she explained. "Juli was essentially either possessed or mind controlled to bring you the poison, and-"
She was interrupted as the entire mansion was shaken by an impact from the outside.
"Okay, now we're DEFINITELY under attack", Gillian remarked.
"The shield is holding", Genos noted, examining a holographic status screen from his arm. "...It's... there's an entire flying fortress opening fire at us, sir."

"Reinforce the shields, and prepare to counter fire." He said to Genos, and Grayfia. "Gillian, Gather up a force our strongest fighters to storm the fortress." He then turned to Ajimu. "You're with me we are going to spearhead this assault." He said teleporting them both onto the flying castle.
"Okay, whoever you are break out your checkbooks, cause this one's coming right out of your ass!" He yelled.
10 in leadership to give orders.
10 sup-eff in Teleportation to bring myself and Ajimu onto the fortress.

"I'm on it, master!" Gillian said, as she teleported away, just as he and Ajimu moved to the fortress itself.
Only for the maid and her master to be faced by a three stories tall, twelve headed hydra.
"Hm... that's a big one", the brunette remarked with an umimpressed smirk.

Just as quickly as they had found themselves faced with the beast, it was dead in mere seconds.
...Just in time for Ajimu to manifest a mystical sword out of thin air and hold it against the throat of an invisible being behind Travis. "I see you. Make a single wrong move and we'll see inside of you as well."
"...D... Damn you!" said a feminine voice, as was revealed a pale skinned woman with raven black, long flowing hair, yellow eyes, pointy elf-like ears, wearing a beautiful black dress with a black feathers collar and odd pumps with a spike on the top... holding a dagger positively dripping with poison in her hand. "I was so close."

"Who are you, and why are you attacking us?" He demanded using the one ring. "Answer me."

"I-I..." she stammered, finding herself unable to look away, as though in a daze. "I am Semiramis... immortal queen without a kingdom, professional witch and assassin. I was attacking you because I was hired to do so. Some people in the world would pay a lot of money for your head", she said after a short moment.
"As my initial attempt to poison you by controlling one of your maids failed, I made my fortress go after you in the hope of drawing you here. My hydra was supposed to distract you long enough for me to move in for the kill."
