I need someone to heal a stab wound. Sooner rather than later.

[ooc: After the AU curse where she tortured her best friends, Rita's back to...well, uncursed. Not so much normal. She intended to filter this away from people who were involved, but was too busy thinking about other things sob.]

[ this is an Estelle who has been up all night, locked in her room, crying on and off until she felt she couldn't cry anymore. sob, she thought her best friend was dead.

but then she sees this. ]

...

R-Rita-!!

[ BRB, DROPPING EVERYTHING AND RUNNING TO FIND HER. ]

[OSHI- Estelle wasn't supposed to see this! Rita's convinced herself that Estelle is one of the last people she wants to see right now; how can she possible face her friend after what she did to her? She can't think of anything to say, except-]

Estelle, I'm sorry.

[She's hiding out at her lab in City Solutions, figuring security wouldn't let just anybody in. But of course, there's the fact she just called for a healer, of which they'll be aware...]

I-It wasn't your fault! It wasn't your fault, Rita, none of it was!

[ she sounds out of breath, she's rushing. not quite sure exactly where she's going, but she's going to damn well find Rita. ]

[blastiafreak]

Sorry.

[She can't say anything else, she just can't. It'd be so much easier if Estelle could just get angry with her and blame her, curse or not, but knowing Estelle doesn't hold it against her--it makes the guilt even worse.]

Rita?

[blastiafreak]

Riou. Do you have any healing abilities?

text~

[everhoping]

Yes... Are you hurt?

text~

[blastiafreak]

It's not seri-- It's kind of bad- Yeah. Sort of.

[cateyedhunter]

What kind of trouble have you been getting yourself into?

text~

[blastiafreak]

Nothing. None of your business.

[cateyedhunter]

So you're asking for help, and you won't even say how you got hurt? Kind of selfish, no?

[blastiafreak]

I said it was a stab wound. What do you think happened?

[this isn't even here.]

[Shing's watching the feed when he sees Rita's text show up.

And he... is conflicted, to put it mildly. He thinks of her as being a friend, even if she is rather stubborn. And yet, seeing her just happily treating others like experiments, as if there weren't even human -- he'd seen far too much of that in his home world with the military and the church with their Zerom soldiers and the like.

The point is, it hit way too close to home for comfort.

What should he say? Should he even say anything?

...for the time being, he'll just. Watch the feed and be a lurker like Asch.]

[drizzlinginside]

Are you going to get help already?

[blastiafreak]

[Katara--yet another person she really doesn't want to deal with right now, because Rita can't quite understand or express the mix of regret, shame, and relief that Katara stopped her.]

I did.

voice~

[drizzlinginside]

[Pause, before she speaks up again.] Alright, that's good.

text~

[blastiafreak]

[It's a while before she sends the next message, but it's the only thing she can think to say.]

Thanks.

[...for stopping her.]
