Psychic all-points bulletin [open]

[in_summer_leaf]

Hello? This is Hisoka Kurosaki, transmitting on the psychic band, and this is an emergency. There is a woman somewhere in the house who is badly injured or dead. Anybody who receives this message, please alert whoever is near you and go and search for her. Gunji apparently jumped her in a stairwell and chased her into some hallway somewhere, and

Jaenelle relays the message on her own Blue thread, letting the Blood know if they didn't hear it before. Moments later, her answer comes back to Hisoka. *I don't recognize the rhyme, no. Do you have a name? Or know where she lives?*

It would be easiest, of course, if she had a psychic scent. Jaenelle's mental voice is all business, short and direct.

Hisoka replies, Gunji didn't give a name, and it isn't clear to me that he knows it. So, no, I don't know where she lives. He did say something about keeping himself from falling, by hooking his claws into the wall. So if you find some claw marks, you're getting close. He left a trail of his own blood, too. So if you start from where we are, there may be a clear track right back to that woman. We're on the second floor, about thirty yards down the main hallway from the west wing staircase.

[Making up a location, lol. And I'm assuming that Hisoka's responses can be heard by all the psychics, so he doesn't have to repeat the same information to each.]

[ebonyjaenelle72]

Jaenelle is already moving before Hisoka finishes his message entirely. *I'm on my way.* Not, for the moment, dealing with what should be done about the attacker. After all, there is a lot of allowance in Blood law for necessary violence, and whoever is hurt comes first.

[Later, after Aramat has been found.]

Subdued voice: Ms. Angelline? I've got a problem. Can I ask your advice?

[ebonyjaenelle72]

*Of course you can. What is it?*

Jaenelle pauses in her search, head turning slightly.

[in_summer_leaf]

Did you overhear Jacquel's message? He found the woman, and she's dead. It's Aramat Drawdes.

He pauses. And this is my problem. I cared about Aramat, but I care about Gunji, too. I don't know what will happen, but I've promised him my protection so far as I am able to give it. I attempted a healing, and it worked well enough that I know he'll recover. But he's in no shape to go off on his own. I'm not sure what to do with him at the moment. Where can he go that is quiet and out of the way, so that he can sleep, and not be disturbed by upset people who are bound to send him off into wild animal mode again?

[ebonyjaenelle72]

*Aramat...* Jaenelle takes a moment to place the name. Not knowing her well, though, and not knowing what happened, she won't place her judgment. *I can...there are empty rooms, and I can shield one so no one but you and people you lead there can find it. Would that work?*

[in_summer_leaf]

That would be very good, and thank you. I'll owe you for this. I already owe you for helping me when I was injured. If there's ever any way I can help you in return, you have only to let me know.

[ebonyjaenelle72]

*You don't owe me.* Her blush is quite possibly audible. *Not for this, and not for the healing. I help because I can. Because I want to.*

A pause. *I'll go find a room.*

[in_summer_leaf]

The blush comes right through the psychic link. Jaenelle's modesty about her own talents is part of what makes her herself, and Hisoka accepts it as such.

I understand you. But still, keep it in mind that you can call on me if there is ever a need. And thank you again. Can you get back in touch, as soon as you find a good location?

[We can handwave setting up the room, if you like?]

[ebonyjaenelle72]

*Of course. It shouldn't take long.* A pause, and she adds, softer. *And I will. Thank you.*

[Whatever works for you?]

[FTB, then! <3]
