☤ seventy-five

[as_damaged]

[VOICE]

I need assistance from someone... capable of locating people within the City.

[A long pause, because she's asking for something wholly unscientific here, and that always makes her uncomfortable.]

I have reason to believe one of my neighbors is trapped somewhere-- not somewhere she can escape on her own. A place more like the desert-- physically separated from the City, but not outside it.

My best guess-- based on her last clear communication-- is this is the result of an attempt to leave the City, involving some sort of injection and an isolation tank.

Though it seemed successful in the video, I've received several messages from her since-- claiming she's stuck, though it's difficult to make out the details, there's some kind of interference.

I don't have much more information, but if you have any way to help-- well, I'll do what I can.


[ooc; link OOC obviously but contains info about what's going on here! \o/ please assume this was posted earlier this afternoon, so Liv can get out before her time runs out ♥]

sob sorry didn't read the ooc note first

[inmyothertights]

Um...are you...

Is this the neighbor you wore leather with?

weeep it's ok <33 also /about to go cook sob back asap

[as_damaged]

That's the one.

[inmyothertights]

She texted me today....

[pause.]

I could try a tracking spell?

[as_damaged]

If you think it would help.

[valentineluke]

Could be in Shadow City. There's a twenty-four hour time limit - exceeding the stay results in death.

[as_damaged]

I think you're right-- though I didn't know the details.

[And such worrisome details they are.]

[valentineluke]

Former passengers - if any of them are still here - of the 'mystery train' may have information.


(OOC - Luke's got ulterior motives. Link's not IC.)

[vicodincrutch]

Well now that sound stupid.

[as_damaged]

I was planning to save the lecture for after she's safely back here.

[vicodincrutch]

May as well call it like it is. We may not get the chance to do so.

So is there a magical search and rescue mission in order?

[intheblanks]

Why does your neighbour have chemicals and an isolation tank? Does she have a chimp named bubbles?

Anything I can do?

[as_damaged]

I think it's under control.

[intheblanks]

Is she back, or is she in a 'shadow city' you're throwing magic users at to try and help her? Only one of those situations counts as under control.

[candothat]

How did Miss Francis intend to escape?

voice;

[as_damaged]

I don't know. To be honest I'm only guessing that was her intention-- I have no idea what she was planning, or who assisted her.

voice;

[candothat]

If she was trying to escape, her method was very strange. Most, I think, would try to escape with their bodies.

Are you her friend, Miss?

[am_i_being_rude]

[That sounds oddly right up his alley even if he's down nearly every single one of his usual methods of helping. Not to mention he got an unexpected phone call from a lady not too long ago. If they haven't had any luck yet he might be able to help.]

Have you found her?

[as_damaged]

We know where she is-- someone's going after her. No word yet on whether they can bring her back.

[am_i_being_rude]

If they start to have difficulties, let me know. I have some experience with that sort of thing, but I don't want to get in the way if they're there and handling things already.

[Voice]

[destinedtobeunpopular]

I was wondering about that...

Uhm... I don't know if I could actually do something, but... I'll look into it.

[Voice]

[as_damaged]

I wish I could give you more information to go on-- this is really outside my experience.

[The more magic involved, the less comfortable she is with it.]

Billy Kaplan is going after her, but I haven't heard yet whether he's been successful.

[Voice]

[destinedtobeunpopular]

It's fine.

[When it concerns magic, he could actually be able to do something. It's basically where his only real talent lies, and all.]

Let's hope he will be, but if not, I'll see if I can figure something out.

action

[entangles]

[ When Billy had brought back Olivia, her first impulse had been to head back to her apartment and into her bed. Twenty-four hours, she had been awake, twenty four hours spent in a constant state of high tension. Exhaustion pervades every inch of her body, but Olivia knows that she owes Cameron at least a visit. To thank her, and let her know that she's all right.

At nearly 3 'o clock in the morning, Olivia arrives at the hospital, her hair a mess and her face still dirt-stained from her adventure. She asks the front desk for Dr. Cameron, and the tired receptionist gives the doctor a call.

What to say? ]

action

[as_damaged]

[She takes a moment to cancel the ambulance she's had on call, with profuse (if exhausted) thanks, before heading down to see Olivia. One thing at a time. First, she's going to make sure the other woman is all right; then, she is going to get some answers; and finally, she's going to point out what a terrible idea this has all been. But she can't allow herself the luxury of anger until she's dealt with the first part.]

Let's try to make this quick. I'm sure both of us would like to get home and to bed.

[She nods at an open exam room on the hall, lips in a tight, flat line that would be a professional smile, under any other circumstances.]

action

[entangles]

[ The agent follows the doctor into the exam room, taking a seat in the exam room chair without a fuss. An examination room may not be the exact equivalent to a police interrogation room, but they have enough in common that Olivia knows lying will get her nowhere.Until now, she had yet to say anything, having considered silence to be the only appropriate topic of conversation. The last thing Olivia wants to do is make Cameron's job harder than it has to be. ]

I had a seizure immediately after I arrived. [ She pauses to check the plain, white clock on the wall ] Nearly twenty three hours ago.

[ She also lifts her fingers to hover over the small cuts on her cheek. ]

And I fell.
