[Video]

[toxickiss]

[As the PCD shakes considerably, muttered curses could be heard stumbled out as the camera passes over pale skin, blood, and the outside of Veles' walls. Lily's sitting on the ground, probably with the device propped on one of the knees as she's leaning back against the wall. She looks pale and feverish, with a few yellowing patches. Before talking there's a few wet chesty coughs, Lily muttering off to the side before back-swiping at air.]

So, guess I should say right away that I'm not infected.

[She just looks like she's going through the beginning stages, as she covers her mouth with a hand that's covered in some dried and some fresh blood, along with other substances. Something keeps catching her attention for less than a second every now and then, making it hard to continue through and finish sentences.]

Don't know who's... Who's available, but I mostly need someone who knows how to deal with poisons, toxins or whatever just as much as injuries. I- no, I'm not interested It's stronger than what I've had to deal with from last time.

[A swipe in the air, muttering again though it could be heard as 'bugger off.']

A little aid would be nice, though.

I'm on my own right now. Someone might come to heal me, but I'm not sure if it'll take the symptoms off...

[A muffled cough.]

I was told that saying I wasn't infected was unconvincing. Funny, huh?

[Voice]

[strategic_guile]

I hear something else nearby, so I need to be prepared.

*his voice holds a bit of a smile*

They don't know you, and you do look like hell warmed over, Lily.

[Voice]

[toxickiss]

Guess it's something on the other side of the wall... Otherwise it's just me and figments.

[Coughs out a laugh, though it's hard to tell which one there's more of.]

It's a good thing I'm not your employee anymore then, huh? Looks like this would tank your sales.

[Voice]

[strategic_guile]

Stay aware then. They aren't far from you.

*a small huff as you can hear him moving and occasionally shooting; his voice is good-natured and playful*

You're still a pretty bint, and I'll still take care of you, so shut it.

[Voice]

[toxickiss]

Anyone ever tell you [coughs] that you're such a charmer...

[A bit of a pause.]

I hold things down. Should be fine anyway.

[Voice]

[strategic_guile]

All the time, chica.

*silence for a few minutes, though you can hear him moving around*

Christ. I thought most of them were dead. Guess not.

[Voice]

[toxickiss]

[Stares at the PCD, listening to the sounds. Though it's a bit hard to tell which parts of the transmission is just subtle figments.]

You okay there, Blaine? If there's too many, just hold off someplace more secure until the amount of them thins out. Get a drink, reload on stuff, check on the girls. There's no rush, and you don't want to get sloppy and infected.

[Voice]

[strategic_guile]

*calmly says after he finishes firing what sounds like an automatic weapon of some kind* I'm fine.

The girls are holed up and'll be fine for a week. I don't get sloppy.

[Voice]

[toxickiss]

No, you'll just get tired, which makes you sloppy. Even if that person is there with you.

[Er, Lily... No one else is there. Delusional~]

[Voice]

[strategic_guile]

*more firing, then silence except the swishing of clothes* Who's 'that person'? I'm alone, zombies aside.

[Voice]

[toxickiss]

... The zombies know how to talk, then?

[Lily's so confused now~]

[Voice]

[strategic_guile]

*long pause* You're sure you weren't bit?

[Voice]

[toxickiss]

Of course I wasn't bit!

[Faces away from the PCD with a coughing fit.]

I swear, I'm hearing someone else talk from your feed.

[Voice]

[strategic_guile]

*that worries him, but his voice doesn't sound any different*

Might be interference, but no one else is with me. I won't be able to make it back to Midgard with you, so we'll have to go to Adstring and see if they have a clinic.

[Voice]

[toxickiss]

Interference, huh...

[She doesn't sound completely convinced.]

Someone said there is, but I don't know if they're equipped to handle poison. You know Veles isn't, and they're not much better.

[Voice]

[strategic_guile]

As long as you're away from the zombies, we can take time to deal with the rest.

*he's almost there, yay*

[Voice]

[toxickiss]

Yeah, sure...

I never asked before... Why did you decide to take over the brothel?

[Voice]

[strategic_guile]

*there's no answer for a full minute and then he appears out from the open gates, looking each way trying to discern which direction she was in*

Because I can't stand a badly run business.

[Voice]

[toxickiss]

That the only reason, huh? I could've sworn that there were other reasons behind it as well...

[She's off quite a ways to the right, almost behind the curve. Luckily, if the rest can't be seen, the drips of blood, though with distance between each bit, points out the direction.]

[Voice]

[strategic_guile]

I like fucking Jason for free.

*he said that with all seriousness as he peers each way again before seeing the figure in the distance, and then the drips of blood as he walks over*

[Voice]

[toxickiss]

You live with him. I don't think you had to buy a brothel for that.

[A muttered 'shut up' could be heard from her, before something of a thud. Though she'll be seen to be sitting there on the ground just as she had started the feed, when Blaine gets there.]

[Voice]

[strategic_guile]

No, but I like being thorough.

*he reaches her a little while later and stops in front of her, looking her over with a growling scowl* You talking to yourself?

[When he gets over, she just looks up and lets the PCD turn off and fall to the ground. She doesn't exactly look better from the original video, though the two patches that mark the source of bleeding (and nasty pus) seem to have been healed up to the point of the skin. Something where it's not bleeding nearly as much, though the pus is pooled up around them. Seems she had gotten some point in the time. (Raven having come helped with a bit of healing at some point.)]

Don't look at me like that... There's was just something annoying me, is all.

.. When'd you dye your hair? Didn't think that was available in the cities.

[Offline]

[strategic_guile]

Why not? What the hell happened to you? *he's unhappy, and now that he's there in person he's unhappier still at seeing the damage in person; he kneels down*

My hair is the same color.

[toxickiss]

Because I got shot, and it wasn't my fault. I just can't wait until that bastard's in the middle of a bunch of zombies and the laser screwdriver runs out of juice.

[Well, you know how it is, it looks a lot worse than it is. One, because it was worse, and the other reason being that the blood and pus had been smeared a bit before from her holding the areas.]

Same color...? Right, of course.

[Rubs eyes with the back of her hand.]

Hard to tell when my eyes are playing tricks on me out here.
