[video] Rats! Rats in the walls!

[likeahousecat]

[ Robin is fumbling with Miho’s comm when it turns on, looking a little ragged. Miho can be seen in the background, leaning heavily against the wall of an alley, looking decidedly worse. Surrounding them are the fallen bodies of half a dozen men, those in turn covered with the mutilated bodies of rats. A severed hand is lying rather

Yowch. Where are you?

[girlyboywonder]

Appreciate it. I'll make sure she doesn't kill you, or anything.

[chrysophilist]

[PAUSE.....]

Thanks?

ANY INTEREST IN ACTIONTAGGING THIS...?

[girlyboywonder]

No sweat.

OF COURSE

[chrysophilist]

Be there in two shakes!

<3

[girlyboywonder]

[ AND RATHER THAN ACTUALLY SAY ANYTHING she'll just be hanging out here, about a block away from the pile-of-bodies-scene, perched on the top of a dumpster and keeping an eye on Miho. They're both still alive, so so far so good! ]

[chrysophilist]

[Moving quickly seemed like it was important, so Rikku opted for the Berserker to help out with that. She was on all fours, loping along the streets, outrunning rats and birds along the way. She slows as she approaches the cross streets, sniffing. There's definitely the scent of blood, and it makes her nose wrinkle. She stops, standing up, a little crouched, just in case.]

Hello?

[likeahousecat]

[Miho is still propped up against the wall, though it's pure bullheaded stubbornness keeping her upright. She's skirting the edges of unconsciousness, which is the only reason she just reaches for the throwing knife and doesn't actually throw it at the approaching girl.

Damn it, this is embarrassing.]

[girlyboywonder]

[ Carrie's hopping down with a tiny wince as soon as she sees Rikku, even if there's... some staring to be done. What kind of outfit is that. 8| And this wondered by a girl that runs around in pixie shoes and a cape. ANYWAY, she'll just be shifting to stand between Miho and Rikku, more or less sure that she won't get a knife in her back for it. Probably. ]

Hey. Thanks for showing.

[chrysophilist]

[Her ears perk at the sound of the girl moving towards her, and she smiles, rubbing at her face with one of her giant paws. Nobody ever said the dresspheres were perfect, okay.]

No problem. Now, is that the girl I'm lookin' after? [And she points with one of her claws towards Miho.]

[likeahousecat]

[Miho lifts her head and... Yes, that is an actual glare. BECAUSE SHE IS FINE, GOD DAMNIT. You can't even see the blood. On her clothes. And probably most of it isn't hers. Probably.]

[girlyboywonder]

Yep. [ JUST IGNORING MIHO it comes easily when she's too hurt to kill anyone. ] What can you do, anyway?

[chrysophilist]

[Before Carrie even finished talking, there's a bright flash of light and Rikku is the White Mage. She smiles, trying to ignore the glare the dark-haired girl is giving her. Hm.]

Heal, like I said! [Pause... She whispers.] I don't think... she wants any help.

[likeahousecat]

[Miho is just giving off waves of "YOU'RE DAMN RIGHT I DON'T WANT HELP WHEN I DON'T NEED IT TAKE A HIKE." Even if that darn bullet wound in her side and all that blood loss is starting to make her a wee bit dizzy. Just a bit. She can walk it off, really. She's just leaning against this wall because she's a little tired.]

[girlyboywonder]

[ SO BRIGHTLY: ] Sure she does.

[ just ignore all signs to the contrary. and here she... takes a second or two to eye that new outfit. man. this girl is weird. ]

What's it take? I need to do anything?

[chrysophilist]

[At least she's wearing clothes at all ): Rikku tucks her staff beneath her arm and then cracks her fingers.]

Just watch out for creepies and crawlies. I'll take care of the rest. [Slowly... approaches Miho. Hoping she won't get stabbed.] Hey there!
