011: VIDEO

[Extreme close up on the curved lines of someone's palm. As the hand pulls back it becomes obvious the device has switched its recording function on while being set down somewhere - in this case, on the tilted surface of a bar. The assorted patrons propping it up can be seen in a concave blur through a half-empty glass.

One of them, the man whose fortune the city's palmists will know intimately by now, is pulling another man - younger but not by too much, though he has the languid poise of disaffected youth - back by the shoulder. And it's hard to hear amid the clinking chatter of the bar as Chase says something to him, but the last part is more audible. He's raising his voice.]


-going to tell me what you put in her drink.

[The other man protests, reacts angrily, and a push in Chase's direction creates a reverse momentum that sees the doctor slam the younger man back against the bar.

This is when the device goes spinning, and everything afterwards comes in dizzy, flickering frames. Punches thrown, a crowd pushing in, weak attempts at holding either party back. Something splashes across the floor, blood or a spilt drink, the flash of broken glass is too brief to confirm either. It's all very quick, and then, somewhere in the push of the crowd, a foot comes down on the device.

And then it's black.]


[ooc: because his canon is insane, chase now has a real-life sister. please ignore tags that say he doesn't. also, sigh.]
