Aug 18, 2011 11:30

I won't pretend I know exactly what's going on here, or if there's anything I can do... but I am a healer, after all.

I'll do what I can for anyone who calls. Just tell me where you are.

[Anders will be putting off ingesting the milk on his own for as long as possible. But if his household, or his friends, are in danger, you can expect the ( Read more... )

[A voice of reason in the sea of people telling her she's crazy! Who isn't a monster! Yes, Anders can obviously help.

Unfortunately Mika is not in her right mind.]

Anders? Anders! Oh God please help there's blood everywhere!

justiceis_hard August 19 2011, 01:38:14 UTC

Blood--? What...?

Where are you?

notlikethemovie August 19 2011, 01:41:07 UTC

I'm...I'm at home, but I don't know where anyone else is and the whole place has started rotting and I think there's something in here with me.

[She whines softly, her rushed voice dropping to a whisper.]

I think it's looking for me, I don't know how long it'll be safe here. I think it got the others and I don't know what to do.

justiceis_hard August 19 2011, 01:47:12 UTC

And... there's blood?

[It must be some kind of demon. That's the only explanation. And... Anders isn't much of a battle-mage, these days.]

[But he has a big stick!]

Look, I'll... I'll see what I can do.

notlikethemovie August 19 2011, 01:49:23 UTC

It's in the walls, the whole place is turning...the walls breathe now, and they bleed. It's...it's getting worse the longer I stay.

[Her voice is trembling as she clutches the phone tighter, trying not to let it slip.]

Please hurry.

justiceis_hard August 19 2011, 03:29:27 UTC

Can't you... go outside?

[Because that seems like a brilliant idea to Anders. He'll still come, though.]

Right. Coming.

notlikethemovie August 19 2011, 03:31:08 UTC

I...I...I'd have to go past them.

[Anders you are a hero. Mika will be so sorry for this in the morning.]

Okay. Okay...

justiceis_hard August 19 2011, 03:52:17 UTC

... Them. Brilliant.

[BUT THE MAGE WILL SUCK IT UP AND MARCH ON OVER. With his tree-limb. And his long coat.]

[It's not his preferred gear, but hey, it's better than nothing.]

notlikethemovie August 19 2011, 03:55:56 UTC

[And he will arrive...to find the house in perfectly decent condition! Like nothing ever's happened. The door is unlocked, and aside from broken glass on the kitchen floor, nothing seems out of place.

Except for the sound of Mika sobbing uncontrollably where she's huddled behind a makeshift barricade of furniture in a corner.]

justiceis_hard August 19 2011, 04:41:21 UTC

[Honestly, from her description, he was expecting something like the Circle Tower after the demons got through with it.]

[Since nothing's pulsating or otherwise possessed... he steps inside.]

Hello...?

notlikethemovie August 19 2011, 04:44:16 UTC

Shhhh!

[Mika's visibly shaking from where she's cowering behind the chairs, her ears folded flat against her skull. She whines softly as she curls in on herself.]

They'll hear you! They'll come looking for you and then they'll kill you and make you just like them...

justiceis_hard August 19 2011, 19:10:05 UTC

[He looks around. Slowly. He tries extending his senses -- use magic to sense magic.]

[But there's nothing. No demons.]

I don't... There's no one here.

notlikethemovie August 19 2011, 19:39:17 UTC

Shhhh!

[Mika is looking visibly more distressed the longer he stands out in the open and talking with a normal voice. She motions him closer, glancing around like someone obviously expecting an ambush before trying to extract herself from her place of safety.

She's shaking so hard it's a wonder she doesn't trip over her own feet trying to reach him.

When she's close enough the signs of what's really wrong with her are easier to see. Her pupils are dilated and she's sweating profusely, panting heavily as her pulse races. Mika has been drugged and whatever it is that she's under is leaving her with hallucinations so strong she can barely see Anders for what he really is. Everyone else she's run across so far has been a monster that she's run screaming from.]

Th-they're in the walls, Anders. They reach out and they grab you and then they'll kill you and make you just like them. They know everything, they're everywhere. I don't want to go back, I don't want to be like them again.

justiceis_hard August 19 2011, 22:00:30 UTC

Wait.

[Oh he sees those eyes. They're sort of impossible to miss. Especially when your attention is on the person, and not your surroundings.]

Hold still. Let me have a look at you.

[He steps forward, holding a hand out.]

notlikethemovie August 19 2011, 22:03:24 UTC

D-don't, I might hurt you. I don't know if I'm tainted yet, they possessed me before, they could do it again.

I don't want to be like them again.

[Hugging herself, Mika makes a quiet sound of distress, rocking on her feet. She seems easily spooked right now, caution might be the safer course.]

justiceis_hard August 21 2011, 09:17:35 UTC

[He frowns a little, watching her. Once again, he shuts his eyes, trying to feel for anything magical around them. There... isn't anything demonic.]

[As for a taint... There's no sense of any taint. Actually, there's no sense of anything resembling the Warden's taint. Which is odd. There should be something. Shouldn't there?]

I can't find anything. There's nothing here at all.
