Kenzi [009] Video

[onteamdyson]

Sooooooo ... hey. Phil's been kinda corpsified. Looks pretty bad... don't wanna describe it all publicly and junk because some of the more delicate residents might pass the hell out. Don't know why the body's still here... that makes, what-- two now? Sticking around? Kinda creepy. We haven't found any of the other ones until now, so it's a little shady.

Um. I can't-- ... move him. So. I covered him with a tarp, if-- ... [She sucks in a breath] if anyone wants to look at the body first and then maybe help me move him? That would... rock. I guess.

Clint's still missing. Natasha, too. And a bunch of other people on the list. But, yeah, found Phil.

[Private to Kobra Kid]

We need to freakin' talk. ASAP.

Yeah-- well... sort of? It wasn't this bad before. It used to hurt a lot more, though. Now it's just itchy and bloody and creepy. I was going to ask you after I found out about your sweet angel-mojo, but Jesse was there and I didn't want to freak him out because of arm-related-things. It's, um ... it's fae stuff. Where I come from, we have fae all over the place.

[She lets Anna hold it, touch it, whatever the hell she needs to do, with minimal wincing. And that answer was what she was afraid of.] Will trying burn you out? Because if it's going to make you all exhausted and powered down, maybe we shouldn't even try. It's not worth it.

Hey, listen to me. Of course it's worth trying. [ She's being really serious here, pay attention. ] Any time anything comes up, I'm here, and I'll always help.

[ Her attention goes back to her arm though, and she focuses carefully on the affected areas. She's still being incredibly careful as she holds her arm, and after a moment her eyes dart back up to Kenzi, just briefly. Best to keep her somewhat distracted. ]

Can you tell me more about the fae?

[ It's not exactly all that relevant, she just wants to get her talking and hopefully slightly less focused on the wound while Anna's attention is on it, and with great focus she lays her hand over it. She's trying her best, she really is. Every ounce of her Grace is focused solely on trying to heal this wound. She takes her hand away after a few moments pass and...

Nothing. ]

[Holy crap, paying attention! Jeeze. Kenzi nods, smiling. The distraction tactic is also a good idea.]

I probably shouldn't be telling anyone anything about the fae. They have more secrecy issues than you do. But I mean... we're stuck here and I can't do this on my own. My bff Bo back home, she's fae. And we're kind of caught between these two sides. Light and Dark. But dark isn't necessarily evil? They're just looser with their morals. I mean most fae peeps are jackasses, doesn't matter what side you're on, and they can all do different, whacked out stuff. Kind of like you, but less... angelic.

[When she finally looks over and Anna's hand isn't there anymore, her eyes widen and she looks like she's about to cry. It's still there. It doesn't look any better and it doesn't feel any different. When she speaks, her voice is quiet.] ... Didn't work, did it?

[afallenstar]

We don't have fae where I'm from. I think if there's anyone you're pretty safe talking to about these things, it's the ones who come from completely different lands.

[ It hasn't worked, and the looks on Kenzi's face just about kills her. With a small frown she looks down again, focuses again and tries again because she can't just leave it like that. ]

Kenzi, I'm sorry. I don't- [ She's still frowning, and after a moment lets go of her arm, folding her arms over her chest instead. ] The 'fae', this magic you talk about. It's not from my world, not at all. Maybe that's why this doesn't work.

[onteamdyson]

No, dude, no, it's okay. You tried and that's seriously awesome enough because you didn't have to and-- thanks.

[Holy shit, this totally sucks. Anna definitely has a point about spilling fae secrets to people that don't even have fae where they come from. It's probably safe. But it doesn't do her much good if none of these people can help her and this whatever it is ends up killing her.

But she smiles. Puts on her brave face. Don't freak Anna out. Be optimistic, dammt!]

It'll probably go away on its own eventually. But maybe... we shouldn't tell Galen.
