09 [voice | location: central] they say you should no wander after dark
You can take the companion out of the TARDIS, but when one hears a mysterious noise coming from an alley one will still investigate.
Not that Fitz was all that thrilled with the idea, he'd much rather finish his walk home to the pub in peace. Plus pursuing mysterious noises in alleys tended to result in getting arrested or maimed or - given that this was Taxon - worse, but...he couldn't ignore the pained groan. Or, once he looked, the way the man (an Extra who appeared Indian) was stumbling towards the street.
Or the way his hand was pressed to the side of his neck and blood was soaking into his t-shirt and hoodie. Right.
"Oh for God's sake," Fitz muttered and hurried over to the man to grasp his shoulders. "Hey, what happened? Who did this?"
The dazed Extra stared at him blankly and shook his head, completely unhelpful. Fitz did manage to coax him into showing him the wound, which did not have the classic two-puncture hallmark of a vampire's fangs but was definitely a bite of some kind.
"Right, I'll take you to the good Doctor Jones, she'll sort you out." And he may as well get the word out while he was at it. With one arm around the Extra to support and guide him, he turned on his tablet.
"So...all right, there's no way to sugarcoat this: I've just found an Extra who's been bitten. In the neck. I'd suggest locking your doors and not inviting anyone in for a while."
ooc: a post to get the ball rolling on Sofie's plot with Mick. go go vampire panic!
