SOMEBODY GET ME OUT OF HERE!

[Along one of the halls of the DR just along the edge of one of the more populated areas, there is a young woman dressed in dark blue and pink, her long blue hair in a braid over her shoulder, and dried blood all over her upper arms where she is strung up to the ceiling by two shadow tendrils.]

I'm not going crazy...like he can prove it...

[What the hell? Xeha's investigating as soon as he hears that yell, thanks...]

What - hang on! Give me a moment, I'll get you down, okay?

[valgusti.livejournal.com]

O..okay...

[She stops trying to struggle so he can get her down, brown eyes still glancing about at the shadows, as if expecting someone to come after her from them.]

[lower-case-x.livejournal.com]

[Deep breath. Okay.]

Hold still. I'm going to cut you loose.

[Hand out - there, one key. It's a little awkward, but it'll do the job.]

[valgusti.livejournal.com]

[Desi nods and tries to stay as still as she can. this will all be over soon, she keeps telling herself.]

Th-thank you.

[lower-case-x.livejournal.com]

Brace yourself-

[Smack, swipe. Couple of shadows? No big deal. She should find herself free to go.]

[She eeps as she goes falling, but is prepared enough to tuck herself into a roll, ending up sitting there on the floor for a moment until she scrambles up to her feet and just looks around, letting out a soft sigh of relief when she realizes the guy from before isn't here, then she rubs her face to try and get herself back together.]

There..there was a scream...and then when i went to check it out there was this guy there at the end of the hall I heard it from...

[lower-case-x.livejournal.com]

[The key goes away, and he gives a frown. That doesn't sound promising.]

Did he do this to you?

[valgusti.livejournal.com]

[She nods, then looks down and starts brushing the dried blood off of her arms.]

He...I asked him if he'd heard it and he said he didn't, and then...

[Okay Desiree, chill out and say it calmly...]

Then I thought I saw some kinda weird darkness thing, so I went to investigate...when i got to one of the really deserted areas around here, I decided to go back, because it wasn't worth it...he tripped me up a couple of times them by the time i got here, he'd strung me up to the ceiling.

[lower-case-x.livejournal.com]

[His face falls. Getting the rough picture, anyway.]

That's ... ugh. Are you OK now, though?

[valgusti.livejournal.com]

[She sighs and shrugs.]

I don't know...maybe I'm going crazy if I saw and heard all that and he didn't...

[lower-case-x.livejournal.com]

Do you ... has this ever happened before?

[Trying to get to the bottom of this...]

[valgusti.livejournal.com]

[She glances at Xeha and shakes her head.]

No...

[lower-case-x.livejournal.com]

Then I think one incident's not enough to start saying if you're going crazy or not. I - don't know. Maybe it'd be a good idea to keep track of these things in case anything else happens? [He shrugs.]

[valgusti.livejournal.com]

I guess so...

[She does manage a tiny smile, however.]

Heck of a way to run into each other again huh?

[lower-case-x.livejournal.com]

[He laughs.] Just a bit. Wish it could've been a bit less - uh, messy?

[valgusti.livejournal.com]

Yeah true.

[she pauses for a moment.]

Oh right um...if you want to keep an eye out for this guy...just in case...he's about so tall...

[she holds a hand out to indicate Gem's approximate height]

...with hair a darker blue than mine and red eyes and um...he's really creepy, he can do stuff with shadows, which is how he hung me up there.

[lower-case-x.livejournal.com]

[He nods, taking the information in.]

Okay. I'll watch out. [Wry look-] As if there weren't enough types round here to look out for.

[And a cynical bit of his brain asks, knowing the patterns to these things, 'okay, what did his counterparts do with this guy...']

[valgusti.livejournal.com]

I'm...just going to go get a shower, which is what I was trying to do after my martial arts practice when this whole thing started.

[She gives Xeha another smile.]

Thanks for the help.

[lower-case-x.livejournal.com]

Martial arts? Cool. [He smiles.] And it was no problem. Couldn't leave you there.

[valgusti.livejournal.com]

[Desi nods, feeling a lot better now.]

Thanks.

All right, I guess I'll see you later then.

[lower-case-x.livejournal.com]

Heh. Okay. See you around.

[He gives her a smile, a wave - just hoping she'll be okay.]
