Last night, Lilly got stabbed. It gets a little hazy after that, but she's fairly sure that she's going to live... as much as she generally does

Sallie barely knocks. She's like that.

"What the good gorram are you doin' getting stabbed? You've been spending too much time 'round Malcolm."

[awesome_lilly]

Lilly blinks wildly for a few seconds before starting to grin.

"Mrs. Mal's mom! Hi. Uh. I didn't do it on purpose?"

[realmrsreynolds]

"Same ol' story, I swear. Can I come in?"

She's already in, but it seems like it's the right question to ask.

"Can I get you anything?"

[awesome_lilly]

"Course!"

Lilly is so not above answering the rhetorical questions right now.

"Nah. I'm good. I've got drugs!"

Clearly.

[puckishly]

Adrian's hair is getting too long again. Puck notices because in balancing him in one arm and Aria on the opposite hip, quite a bit of it is getting in his mouth.

Meanwhile, Lilly is being assessed with a critical, and more to the point assessing sort of gaze.

"Are you at all lucid, darling?"

[awesome_lilly]

"Lucidity is so overrated."

Lilly waves happily at the children. She's always happier to see them when someone else is holding them.

"Hi, kids. Mommy got stabbed. You should try to avoid this, it's not as fun as I make it look."

So that would be a 'somewhat,' Puck.

[puckishly]

Puck rolls his eyes, making his way to the couch and easing down onto a free space. The kids, meanwhile, squirm obliviously in his arms.

"Oh, do be still a moment," he mutters to them, before glancing over at Lilly.

"Your mother is attempting to impart an important lesson. Though for my part, I should be more curious as to how she came to learn it to begin with."

[awesome_lilly]

Lilly goes to shrug, winces, and stops.

"I just went for a walk, I swear. Next thing I knew I had a knife in my side and some strange girl freaking out. Then a coyote turned into Coyote and got me in the bar and gave me a drink and then... Mike."

She seems to feel that one word covers a lot.

Alanna doesn't like it when her friends get stabbed.

On the other hand, said stabbing also tends to make them immobile and thus a captive audience, so she's learned to take the bad with the good.

She arrives on Lilly's doorstep with rum, a healing poultice, several herbs for mixing in hot liquid and a racy novel she picked up from Bar. It is perhaps not surprising that the cover is the cause of her rather spectacular blush.

"Lilly?" she calls, nudging the door open and sticking her head through.

[awesome_lilly]

"'lanna!"

Lilly's smile is genuine if not overly focused.

"Hi, Stabby. I'm totally stealing your thing. Sorry?"

[a_lioness]

"If you were doing 'my thing,' you would have been on the other side of the blade," Alanna notes wryly.

She kicks the door shut and dumps her armful of supplies beside the couch, healer's eyes automatically looking Lilly over.

"How are you feeling?"

[awesome_lilly]

"Oh, I'm fiiiiine."

Lilly gestures at the pain pills.

"I'm on the upside of my drugs right now. S'all good. It won't start really hurting again for ages."

[gotham_knocking]

"You know," says the man from Gotham as he enters, "if you wanted to say hi, you could have found a better way then getting stabbed.

"Long time no see, Madam. Up for visitors?"

[ooc: probably not online long, so consider this a placeholder.]

[awesome_lilly]

"Better, maybe," Lilly says consideringly. "But not nearly so effective!"

Her cheerfulness post-stabbing likely has a lot to do with the bottle of pain pills on the coffee table.

"Hiya, Knox."

[gotham_knocking]

He takes a seat, trying to stay chipper but a bit surprised at how she looks. He didn't know the dead could look so sickly here.

"Care to indulge a reporter's curiosity and tell me who'd be dumb enough to attack you? It's off the record, I promise."

[awesome_lilly]

Yeah, for all Lilly's drug-induced cheer she still kinda looks like hell.

"Doesn't matter, actually. I don't even really know. Some strange girl out in the woods. I think it might have been an accident, really."

[obligatoryass]

"Hey, gorgeous," Logan says, popping his head in. "Your note was uh, little on the vague side. So you're stabbed but fixed-ish?"

[awesome_lilly]

"Yes and yes. Hi Logan."

Lilly frowns at him, confused.

"If you got all that from my note, why are you saying it was vague?"

[obligatoryass]

"You took newspaper," Logan says, rolling his eyes. "It's the five Ws, right? Or the five Ws and the H. Whatever. Who, what, when, where, how and why. I mean, I got the what - stabbing and fixed-sort of - but other than you, no whos, and totally none of the other things."

[awesome_lilly]

Lilly sighs heavily.

"Details."

She points down at the gauze bandage peeking out from under her shirt.

"That's where. When was last night. Uh, who... I have no idea. Some girl with a twitchy knifin' hand. She kinda freaked. I have no idea why. I guess maybe you shouldn't walk around the woods without a big flashlight.

And maybe body armor."
