009 [video] / backdated to yesterday late afternoon before sirens

[azarathmetrion]

[Though the NV is floating in the air at a good distance away from Raven, as usual, the camera is angled strangely upwards, revealing a lot of cracked darkening sky and the tops of a few buildings. It has the effect that only half of Raven's face can be seen, and most of it is shrouded in her hood. Her eyes are visible, as they're glowing dimly,

[azarathmetrion]

Yes, I'll be fine.

[permatext]

[azarathmetrion]

When did I say I was sorry?

[voice//private]

[thecrowingtobe]

Raven? What happened? You hurt?

[voice//private]

[azarathmetrion]

[Voice is good. She takes a second to calm herself and tries to sound like nothing hurts too much.]

--I'll be all right. Superman and I went after him. It was a little harder than we'd hoped. He got away.

[voice//private]

[thecrowingtobe]

[He likes to hide in voice also.]

Yeah but are you two really alright? You guys need help with anything? Shit... ya shouldn't mess with telepaths. I learned that one the hard way...

[Also... Superman? What kind of name is that?]

[voice//private]

[azarathmetrion]

I think he'll be all right. He's -- resilient, and I'll go into a healing trance, I think.

I thought I could handle him, and so did he. We didn't do that badly-- What happened with you and telepaths?

Didn't think you'd be the type to be a bounty hunter, Raven. [ Not like she's one to talk. She says that lightly, but her gaze is worried. ]

Did something happen?

[azarathmetrion]

[Immediately switches to private.]

Wasn't for the bounty, anyway. Though I guess that couldn't hurt, right?

[She tries to say it lightly, too. The strain in her voice is pretty evident, though.]

Just some complications in the fight, yeah.

[topslug]

Anything you want to talk about, or are you going to wait to recover first? You really looked like you could use the rest.

[azarathmetrion]

...Not sure there's that much to talk about, but -- I mean, it's always good to see you.

[She smiles slightly weakly at Yako. The fight was pretty draining, and her barriers are lower.]

[voice]

[isitablurred]

You have nothing to be sorry about, Raven.

[voice; private]

[azarathmetrion]

[To private.]

I should probably have done better.

[voice; private]

[isitablurred]

We didn't know that things were going to happen the way they did, otherwise...

[Doesn't need to go on.]

Don't blame yourself for this. I'm the one who thought that I had some kind of resistance.

[voice; private]

[azarathmetrion]

[She nods.]

You're right. I shouldn't have said it like that. But it does show me I've got a long way to go, at least.

Let's not play a blame tug-of-war. We tried our best, and -- [Okay, the bruises hurt, but --] we're still here to fight again another day.

[kingofrooks]

Adrian Hoffman.

What kind of injuries?

private;

[azarathmetrion]

[He's right, and she knows he knows he's right and doesn't bother to corroborate.]

Him? Beaten up a little bit. Couldn't really tell for sure before he got away.

private;

[kingofrooks]

Who was with you?

private;

[azarathmetrion]

[She hesitates for a second. But she's pretty sure he'll know soon enough.]

Superman.
