DAY EIGHT (morning)

[judgejudy]

DAY 8 (morning) Complex Population: 19 It's 8AM, and you wake from that deep, dreamless sleep that enforces curfew as always. Of course, some of you might be waking up due to a rather alarming reason. — NOTE: This day post will be run slightly differently because of the large amount of things to be discovered. Please indicate where your character is in the subject line of your toplevel, and a mod will reply to conduct the investigation. Please note that some areas may be dangerous, and your characters may be injured, but characters will not be killed (unless you want them to be). This post is for the second day as defined in the schedule. This post is for investigation and general mingling before the trial that takes place in the afternoon IC. ic rulebook character statuses character profiles private conversations graveyard

I have no goddamn idea!

[ Jack is filling up a bowl as quickly as he can, though while doing so, he's definitely just trying to stomp out the fire, because, you know, maybe that'll help. He looks to Alvin as he approaches with a look of mild panic, though a spot of red catches his eye. ]

Woah- Woah, uh, you're bleeding?

[betraitor]

I knew it hurt, but—

[he can't exactly see it, he just knows it hurts like hell. he's a trooper, though.]

It won't kill me, let's get the fire out first and figure out the rest later! [with the kitchen space pretty small, it's not like they can do too much, so he'll grab one of his scarves and a pair of boots.

he can at least try to stomp it out a bit himself, though it probably won't do too much.]

[heroizes]

[ Jack nods and motions for Alvin to come help out, since at least their apartment was lucky enough to have one of the smaller fires. The bowl is almost full, so he's just kind of waiting for that, but he shakes his head as he tries to smother the fire the old fashioned way with Alvin. ]

Jesus— This- Christ, we haven't even left the damn room yet and this is already a lot!

[ The bowl is full, so Jack quickly grabs it, and there's not much warning before he pours it on the blanket. It gets a lot of the fire, but he starts filling up another bowl anyways. They'll probably be able to stomp out the rest. ]

[betraitor]

[he's definitely smothered out a couple of fires this way before at least, so that part won't take long with their combined efforts.

they're thankfully pretty lucky that it's not a lot worse, even if the smoke is definitely still lingering in the air.]

Talk about a crappy way to start the day. Where the hell are we even supposed to start with this one? [his eyes are glancing over smoldering remains of what burned.] Stabbing people wasn't enough, so burn the place to the ground?

[heroizes]

[ Jack curses under his breath, but at least after pouring another bowl on the fire, he feels confident enough to quickly pick it up and throw it in the sink to douse it completely. He looks to Alvin with a look of alarm and concern, but he shakes his head. ]

Uhh- Apparently so, Jesus. This is- This is kinda a step up, and that's super bad in this case.

[betraitor]

Kinda like someone's really trying to make quick work of us or something.

[there are a couple of things to note, both of which might? be more important than what alvin's about to ask. but he's turning his back to jack for a moment.]

How bad's it look? Because I'll tell you, it feels like crap. [what kind of asshole takes a cheap shot like this when someone is sleeping and doesn't even finish the job? though alvin doesn't even actually know it's a stab wound, or how deep it is—though obviously it's not so bad that he's going to keep over. he's got his wits about him, at least.]

[heroizes]

No friggin' kidding...

[ Jack gives the sink a glance, but shakes his head as he looks back to Alvin. He steps closer and places a hand carefully on Alvin's back to try and wipe away some of the blood to get a better look at it. Luckily, he's not squeamish. ]

[betraitor]

[alvin will tense slightly, because it's uncomfortable, but he doesn't seem too bothered otherwise. it's not his first injury, and (hopefully) not his last. but the wound isn't really too deep; no vitals would be hit by it, though it'd probably impede his ability to wield a sword if he had it just thanks to the position.

all in all, not nearly as bad as it could have been. while jack's looking at it, he'll muse on the other important topic here.]

We're down another person for sure this time. [jade was already missing, and now danse is too. cool... that's cool.]
