voice 001 || Eugene Fitzherbert / AU event || [private]

[foundaprincess]

[ooc: backdated to May 2, Monday Evening!]

[Eugene is trying to contact a certain boss of his but the call is accidentally filtered to Rapunzel instead. His voice sounds strained against the speaker, and his speech is punctuated by badly-stifled gasps:]

Hey... Got myself in... a bit of a jam here... [his attempted chuckle turns into a hacking

[action!]

[Rapunzel's been having a distressingly strange week. She's in the cottage she shares with Aurora (not that Aurora even remembers Rapunzel's not just visiting when she gets the message, and she immediately jumps to her feet, holding the Dreamberry close to her face]

Eugene-- Eugene???

[she hasn't heard from him all this time, either; and needless to say, this isn't the most reassuring of calls. Maybe he hasn't become her new dream yet, but she does care enough about him for this to scare her.]

Eugene, hold on, all right? I'm going to find you! Just-- I know, Pascal, I know--

[she gathers up her hair, racing for the door. She remembers passing some sort of police sign when in Somni a few days earlier; whatever it is, she's pretty sure she can still find it.

With a bit of Pascal's help, she does so eventually; like Flynn said, once she sees blood it's not hard to track him down. suppressing the urge to be sick, she runs and drops to her knees next to him, not minding the state of her own dress as she gathers her hair]Oh-- no no no

[Making the call and dragging himself to this spot had spent the last of Eugene's energy. With his back against a wall, his body propped in an awkward sitting position, he breathed in shallow gasps to avoid adding any more strain to his injury. His dreamberry lay near his side, where it had dropped when exhaustion finally overcame him.

It will be hard to see in the darkness of the evening, with only the street lamp in the corner as a source of light, but a closer examination will reveal that the poor young man is bleeding out of a bullet wound on his right side.

When Rapunzel arrives, he was fighting off unconsciousness, holding onto the hope that Agent Javert had received his call and was on his way to fix things.

The voice that reaches his ears is definitely not the boss. He cracks open an eye and sees an unfamiliar face.

Before he can react, a spasm of pain has him groaning and clutching his side.]

Hrrgh...!

[flowergleam]

[When he groans, Rapunzel breathes a sigh of-- well, relief isn't exactly the right word for it, but if he's in pain then he's still alive, and she can still heal him.]

It's okay. [her voice is quiet now as she does her best to get him to move his hands away from his side; she needs to wrap her hair around the wound] Just relax, okay? I'm going to heal you.

[how did this happen?]

[foundaprincess]

[The blonde stranger moves his hands away and there is little he can do to fight her off. He is too weak to even be galled by this. Though he cannot see them, he is certain that his hands are stained with his own blood.]

You a... medic 'r somethin'...?

[she looked way too young to be in the medical business.]
