002: Night is Crawling and Something's Here [Visual]
After her encounter with the Ripper, DG made her way hastily back to Sanctuary Square. She didn't have a fixed plan in mind - as far as she knew, Taxon had no police force - but she knew that she had to warn people about 'Jack' before he tried to gut anyone else. His next victim might not be as lucky as she'd been.
As she'd predicted, her tablet was still sitting on the bench where she'd left it. (Her peaceful evening sketching seemed like a long time ago now. Next time, she'd stay in the palace.) With her injured arm, which was staining her beloved leather jacket with blood, cradled to her chest, DG picked up the device clumsily and switched on the visual function.
"Hello? Is this thing working?"
Her attacker had been unconscious when she'd left, thanks to a timely - and entirely accidental - magical attack. With any luck, she'd be able to gather up some reinforcements and return before he woke up. After that ... well, she wasn't sure. Hopefully the city would provide a nice prison cell for them to leave him to rot in.
"I need help," she said, without waiting for an answer. "There's a guy out there with a big knife and a bad attitude and I need to know if this place has cops or someone with their own dungeon or something else to stop him."
