[Accidental Video/In Person] [Vincent]

[nuitdushasseur]

[The video broadcast is short - he's awake but hasn't quite moved yet. He's dressed for a formal event - long black dress-coat, lace ruffle at the neck, hair tied back... but there's blood all over his clothes and a few flecks in his hair, although he's made some token effort to clean off his face. He's tense and cautious when he does sit up,

[...There's someone moving around out there and given the timing of the feed on the blackberry + the sounds outside, Apollo is sticking his head out to look at the hall very briefly, before retreating.

He doesn't really want to meet anyone that agitated and covered in blood.]

[nuitdushasseur]

[Too late - he's noticed the door opening as he was going by.]

[There's a boot toe blocking the door from shutting. It's perfectly possible you're a bystander... but you'd still be a bystander with a clue what's going on.]

Beg pardon.

[...shit.]

[He's sort of... backpedaling into his room.]

What do you need?

[In Person]

[nuitdushasseur]

[He'll be taking that opportunity to step inside and close the door behind him, smiling pleasantly.]

Just a few questions, if you don't mind. There's something very much not right going on, and I'd like to know just what it is.

[Oz was quietly sitting in his room still reading 'Alice in Wonderland,' turning the page over for the moment, before hearing what could only be his own name being said. He closed the book he was reading placing the Tribble on the table as he picked up the blackberry ans glanced at it for a moment, spotting someone he knew.]

Vincent?

[He heard the door close via blackberry which made him realize he's left the room he was in, which meant that he was somewhere in the manor. Picking up his blackberry for just in case he needed it at any point, he left his own room, making his way down the corridor to look for him and to find out if anyone had come with him.]

[It can't be that hard to spot him, exploring for clues and not exactly happy - although he seems to relax slightly on spotting Oz. *or at least lapse back into being less visibly tense.*]

Oz?

[He'll be heading to be ... over in the area you're in - whatever he might think, you're an improvement over "unfamiliar place at a time like this."]

I seem to have missed something. What just happened?

[He soon stopped in place when finally found him, relief slightly at the fact he wasn't exactly alone, but not the person he wanted to see at the same time.]

If you mean this place, it's something to do with someone called the author. I've been here for a few months now, although I did manage to get out once.

[It may seem insane, but he knew what the hell he was talking about before he relised his reason for rushing like he did.]

Have you seen Alice or Gilbert here? Did they come with you?

[In person]

[nuitdushasseur]

Months? [He ponders that curiously, but shrugs with a headshake.] You're the first familiar face I've seen since I woke up.
