021: [Video] Playing with people's lives isn't funny

Dec 04, 2009 21:42

[The video shows a deceptively calm Inara sitting on a slipper chair. Her ankles are crossed, legs to the side. She's sipping tea in a way that can only be described as so cold it would shatter ice. There is a scrape on her forehead, bruise on her cheekbone and her chin. There's a startlingly white bandage on her forearm. She's obviously been ( Read more... )

[It took Anna much longer than it should have to reach Inara's apartment, and when she arrived it was bruised, dirty and out of breath, as though she'd been running quite awhile. Her coat was torn in several places and the arm underneath was cut. The palms of her hands were raw from falling on the pavement and her head and ankle hurt something fierce.

Still, she knocked hesitantly, not wanting Inara to see her like this, but not wanting to go back outside any time soon even though she was sure her assailant had moved onto greener, or less-informed pastures.]

Inara, it's me, can you please let me in?

Re: [action] only_fell December 6 2009, 03:18:20 UTC

[Inara has been waiting for Anna to arrive. She'd nearly began to get worried when Anna's knock came on the door. She opens the door with a smile that falls quickly when she sees the condition Anna is in.]

Wǒde tiān

[It's just a whisper as Inara ushers Anna inside]

Sit down. I'll get the first aid kit. I assume you were attacked by a carousal animal as well?

[action] backseatangel December 6 2009, 03:21:01 UTC

[She limps as she's led in, trying to smile for Inara, let her know she's okay, but it's with mixed results.]

I think it was a rabbit. I just got beat up by a giant, fiberglass rabbit.

Re: [action] only_fell December 6 2009, 03:33:26 UTC

[Inara returns the smile tightly and then nods. Once she gets Anna seated on the sofa, she goes into the bathroom and retrieves to first aid kit. She returns with it in hand, pulls a chair up and starts caring for Anna's wounds.]

Mine was a fiberglass Pegasus.

[Anna removes her jacket and tries not to wince as Inara starts cleaning her wounds. She looks at the coat a bit forlornly, she's been really tight with her budgeting but hadn't found a regular job yet and she knows the money the Winchesters left for her won't last a whole lot longer.]

Yours sounds a bit more... impressive than a bunny. Dean would laugh. He'd go hunt it down for hurting me, but he'd probably laugh at me while he did it.

Re: [action] only_fell December 6 2009, 04:59:47 UTC

[The smile relaxes a little at Anna's words and she nods, dabbing at a scrape with some antiseptic]

It is a bit amusing.

[action] backseatangel December 6 2009, 06:25:08 UTC

I feel like an idiot.

[She sighs, a weary sound.]

Re: [action] only_fell December 6 2009, 07:44:50 UTC

You've no reason to feel like an idiot at all.

[She dabs at the cut on Anna's arm, inspecting it carefully before bandaging it]

[action] backseatangel December 6 2009, 08:23:52 UTC

No, I- I dunno, just feeling low about the humanity of the City.

[Anna tried to find the words to describe how she felt, trying to ignore the sting of her wounds.]

When it happened... people were angry, but they had to let it go. But now... it's like it's happening all over again, and I'm afraid that people might... take steps.

Re: [action] only_fell December 6 2009, 08:49:50 UTC

Toward revenge?

[The question is all in the tone of her voice as she's still concentrating on Anna's arm]

[action] backseatangel December 6 2009, 08:52:21 UTC

At the very least.

[She looks down at her arm with a slight hiss.]

Is it really bad? Should I go to- does it need stitches?

Re: [action] only_fell December 6 2009, 19:41:16 UTC

I don't know. I've managed to stop the bleeding and I think it will be alright with some bandaging and care. You'll have to make certain it doesn't get infected and it will likely scar.

[ooc: I don't know how bad you want the cut to be so I left it up to you to decide if she needs stitches or not]

[action] backseatangel December 6 2009, 21:00:02 UTC

Maybe I'll have Peter look at it, he was a Paramedic back home.

[Anna looked at the bandaging before looking back at Inara.]

Do you have some ice? I think my ankle's sprained, too.

Re: [action] only_fell December 6 2009, 23:37:53 UTC

Of course

[Inara gets to her feet, walks to the kitchen and retrieves a small ziplock back full of ice wrapped in a dishtowel. She returns moments later and holds it out to Anna]

You should put it up on the couch at least.

[action] backseatangel December 7 2009, 00:46:24 UTC

[Anna leaned over and undid the laces on her shoe, slowly slipping it out the shoe. She took the ice with a grateful smile and put her foot up on the couch.]

I guess I should consider myself lucky - I inherited a ton of medical supplies along with every thing else.

I owe you a home cooked dinner for this, okay?

Re: [action] only_fell December 7 2009, 01:41:27 UTC

[Inara sits in a chair next to Anna.]

Since I can't cook, I won't turn that down.

[She smiles slightly at Anna]

However, well after your ankle has healed.
