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

[ Jack hadn't exactly noticed the state Rhys was in, considering the fire had taken his attention a bit more. He's trying to stomp out the fire on the blanket when he hears Rhys's voice. The whine doesn't exactly catch his attention any more than it usually might, since it's kind of Rhys's default tone, but when he looks over, his eyes widen in surprise. ]

What- Uhhh, this isn't funny Rhys, what's with the new jewelr- Ow, fuck!

[ He'd been so surprised that he'd kind of stopped tending to the fire, so he gets interrupted by the fire getting a little too warm near his neck. He takes a few quick steps back, then returns to the water plan. ]

Ahhh, god dammit, just- Just hang on a sec!

[ rhys' eyes flick towards the fire and then alvin and he knows, well, he knows he's not gonna be much help. so he starts pushing up to stand, hand moving to cover over his slash and getting blood spilling through his fingers in the process as he hisses. he sways warily on the spot when --

bzzt.

his newfangled collar seems to buzz then with an electric shock, which gets his heart beating faster and he lets out a swear as his other hand goes to tug at it. ]

I have to -- I have to go see why... [ another buzz and he jumps, stumbling towards the door. ] Jack, be careful. Please.

[ and then out he's going to leave alvin and jack to deal with the fire because LOOK... HE KNOWS HE'LL JUST FUCK IT UP. ]

[ Jack is pretty preoccupied with the damn fire, so he doesn't pay as much attention to Rhys as he gets up until he's at the door. He looks his way again, but this time, he sees the blood on Rhys's stomach instead of just the collar. ]

Woah, Rhys, buddy, you should—

[ Jack starts to call out to him to ask him to stay instead, but again, the fire takes priority. Rhys stumbles out, and Jack curses loudly, since this is already turning into a stressful morning. He'll go after Rhys first thing once this is out, just to make sure the guy doesn't bleed out or whatever. ]
