[Voice] | Backdated to some ambiguous time in the event

[thechoiceisyours]

[Hey Lilith, hope you don't mind an emergency call out of nowhere. Chris' voice is a little higher pitched than usual from stress, and his calm tone is obviously forced.]

Um, Lilith, any chance you can get to Delight's bar like, as soon as possible?

[There's kind of been a situation.]

voice;

[cashlin]

[Lilith's not in the best shape herself, having dealt with her own mess not very long ago, but... Chris never calls her. Needless to say, this isn't some simple social call.] Some... stuff came up earlier. [she says, with a little difficulty. There's the faint sound of fabric tearing in the background-- she's binding up a particularly nasty gash.] It might take me a little longer, but I'll make it.

Give me one minute.

...And twenty-five seconds.

voice;

[thechoiceisyours]

Okay.

[He's not about to be picky in this situation, and despite everything going on he catches her tone and the sound of ripping fabric.]

Are you... Are you okay?

text > action

[murderpotato]

youre gonna fuckin regret this shit

[Fifteen minutes later, there's a gangly asshole walking his way into the alleyway behind Delight's bar, all ready to split his knuckles on somebody's teeth. He's also grumbling to himself:]

Fuckin' bitch, I'll show her a fuckin' potato.

action - assassin event

[mismanagement]

[Maketh had been carried before as an adult, once by an over-zealous storm trooper who had decided the fastest way to get her out of danger was not to lay down suppressing fire and call in for back up, but rather toss her over his shoulder and make a run for it. Once, also, by a bounce who'd declared her over the limit and then promptly dumped her outside. Maketh had enjoyed neither situation. She isn't enjoying this one much either, but recognizes the need.

At any rate, she's making an effort to stay as still as possible.] Thank you, Lilith.

[cashlin]

[Her effort's appreciated. On top of her own injuries, Lilith's not used to carrying anyone like this, ever: she'd hauled Nick over her shoulder rather indelicately earlier, and the only member of her team who was small enough for her to feasibly carry would never hear of it even if it were needed. (Mordecai's sensitive ego. Or something.)

If she could phase others, this would be so much easier. But she would never have just left Maketh there.]

Don't mention it. I wish I'd had a better healing kit on me so you'd have been up right away, but them's the breaks...

[mismanagement]

[That would have been helpful, certainly, but as Lilith said - them's the breaks. Maketh closes her eyes briefly, focusing on her breathing. In and out. Steady on the exhale. There you go.] It's better than being dead, I'd say.

[video]

[mismanagement]

[Following this]

[This is one of several such messages that she's sent lately. Maketh runs a hand through her hair.]

There's a man here. From my world. He calls himself General Hux.

I thought it -- prudent, to warn you.

[video]

[cashlin]

He's a general?

[A military man from her world only brings Maketh's apology to Lilith's mind-- and along with it, her conditioning. She's deadly serious.]

Is he Empire?

[video]

[mismanagement]

He claims as much and he has the proper stripes on his uniform.

[Even if the uniform itself isn't quite right. Maketh shakes her head.]

Not -- not the Empire, exactly. Perhaps what came after the Empire. He's not from my time.

Be safe, Lilith. Promise me.

[attagirl]

[ this probably comes at like the middle of the fucking night. possibly because axton is just too listless to sleep. possibly also because he did something stupid like "eating too much sugar before bed." ]

Man. What's your policy on spoilers again, Lilith?

[cashlin]

[she probably SHOULD have been asleep, considering she attempted to stay up for a week straight to avoid dealing with the dreams, but no, she's playing stupid pong again. the one thing rhys has done right in his life.]

spoilers??? for what?
if youre gonna tell me about what happens in contest of chairs in 5 seasons dont bother i read the books

[attagirl]

[ well, he fixed axton's turret, too! that's two cool things he's achieved in a lifetime of sadness bereft of meaningful accomplishment. ]

Nah, just about some cool shit you get up to later.

[bluffed]

how do you deal with guys again?
i don't have siren powers so please be mindful of that
i have one on my way to rhys' house
who doesn't know i know rhys and i sense some animosity.
i didn't mean for this.
why does rhys always bring this upon me!?

[cashlin]

[wh

what

after RECOVERING FROM DROPPING HER PHONE ON HER FACE why is she so popular tonight??? lilith fires back:]

1. you can still '''''deal''''' with a guy without siren powers [THUMBS... UP... EMOJI]
and 2 im not surprised theres animosity rhys isnt exactly popular here. Did he tell you about the Pong thing yet??

[bluffed]

no. that's not... what the hell is pong?
what did he do with his pong?
is it robotic?
lil i just woke up and there is a guy coming to my house. i can talk my way out of shit but this guy is from PANDORA and he does not know i am from PANDORA.
and i kind of conned him when i first got here.


.....

i think he wants to make out.
maybe?

[text]

[thechoiceisyours]

So.

Is the whole terrible try to keep me from getting myself killed while monster-hunting for bullets offer still a thing?

[He thinks he's worked up the courage to take her up on it, and he's worried about dealing with whatever the next event might be while only having one bullet.]

[cashlin]

[HOOO BUDDY she has been waiting for this.]

Oh, yeah. still a thing for sure. Gimme a time and a place to meet and we can head out to one of the caves.

[thechoiceisyours]

[Lilith no don't be excited for something that will probably be terrible.]

Okay awesome.

[But...]

Full disclosure though in case you want to change your mind: Last person I went monster hunting with got their head taken off.

[If he says it casually that makes it casual, right? But she should know his awful track record before they actually do this.]

[lingeringfear]

[Sometime in late August, Fear remembers his promise to the victors and so, one morning Lilith will wake up to find a simple box on the floor next to her bed. Upon opening, there are simply the words:

Fear is Fear. Congratulations.

-written on a crumpled parchment in a spidery scrawl. Next to the note is the dark green orb of Fear's Blessing.]

[cashlin]

[Lilith doesn't text Fear a thanks, but she does spend some time turning the green orb about in her hands before finally giving into the temptation and crushing it between them.

The lingering cloud of smoke that emerges from the broken orb fades, and centers itself onto her left wrist, dark green whorls mingling and overlapping with the blue Siren markings. Her fingers trace the resulting tattoo with interest.

Well. This is new.] Neat.

Members of the Guard,

Chris has kindly made us a tool which, when used, shall afford us all awareness of compromised allies during an extended crisis. It works by prompting one to respond through a simple touch at set intervals. The names of those who fail to respond in reasonable time are sent to those who have responded. I am sure I need not explain its advantages.

[There is an app attached for download.]

Please inform me once you have acquired it.

[cashlin]

Got it, H. Thanks for the heads up.

❤ L

[This'll make things way easier: it's not nearly as useful as the defunct ECHO device she's kept around, but it's better than nothing.]
