Daro Fernell (OC, original universe) // somebarplacething

From beyond the front door, there comes the sound of something--

"Daro! We're short on doors at this end! They're gonna--"

--wailing.

"We've got to slow them down or we're short circuits with blood!"
"Come on!"

C above middle C, E, F, sharp, true again. Two octaves up, then two more. And higher every second, never mind the piano keyboard.

"Go, go, I've got it! Terzel, run!"

For an ear-piercing, head-splitting second, the sound, whatever it is, from beyond the door leaps into nearly inaudible territory, and then there's no door there at all. What there is is a stone wall.

"Are you unplugged? Daro!"
"I'll be righ--"

That doesn't last long either. An eyeblink later, there's still a solid wall where the door should be, but several large chunks of it, any number of much smaller pebbles and fragments, and a fine grey coating of dust are on the bar floor. Oh, and there's a girl there, too.

"Come on!"

She's short, plump, black-haired, burgundy-skinned (not brown with gold suggestions, we do mean really burgundy here) and she... appears to have fallen forward smack onto a fair amount of fractured stone. At least that horrible shrieking sound stopped at about the same time. Hey, wait a second.

Pause. Longer pause. Loooooonger pause. "Oooooh."

She'll be a minute or so in getting up. At least she doesn't appear to have badly injured herself falling on her face, from the way she's moving all arms and legs. "Oh, fuse explosions. Ow."

Anybody care to give her a hand?

((OOC: Ignore the icon; this OC hasn't got any of her own. She's an original alien from an original universe.))
