eight; video/teneka; night

[dirt_heart]

[The room Kelly's in is plain grey brick on all sides, stark utilitarian lighting casting everything in harsh shadows and unforgiving light. Kelly himself looks more unkempt than usual, his regular casual suit altered by necessity. The jacket is missing, his shirt sleeves are rolled up to the elbows, and there's patches of blood on the white collar

[...Eden, why are you all wet? She is obviously somewhere in her apartment, but her dark hair is plastered all over her face and her clothes are clinging to her.]

Quite well. And there is more variety of beast since the last invasion.

[She tosses her head to try to get her hair out of her face, but it doesn't work and she lifts a hand to push her hair back. Bruises and scratches, but that's the worst of it.]

[She looks worse off than Kelly at the moment, which does alarm him slightly, but she's saying she's okay.]

You sure? You're looking more scratched up than I was expecting.

Hmph.

[She tosses her hair back before she and the PORTAL relocate into the bathroom.

The violence of the scene is belied by the silence of the night. The siren would be shrieking if she could, she settles herself for thrashing angrily in the porcelain tub and within the confines of the thick rope net she is entangled in. Eden's heartless is keeping watch over her, golden eyes narrowed.]

I suppose I could have her declawed.

[Oh, trust Eden to take advantage of this whole thing in the most Morrison way possible. Kelly shifts, tucking the PORTAL away from the view of the residents he's rescued, leaning closer to examine the angry siren for a moment.]

They might be useful.

[More useful removed than attached and ready to harm her captor.]

I know some basic first aid. Bits and pieces of the messier stuff.

[Giles wipes blood out of his eyes with the hand not holding the sword.] Mind if I stop by?

[Kelly's a little surprised by the sword, but he supposes he should be used to any and all weapons being used by the variety of people in the city.]

No, I don't mind at all, especially if you can help the wounded I've got here. Don't put yourself in danger for it though. More danger, that is.

Re: video/teneka

[consultmybooks]

Not sure more danger is possible at this point, actually.

I think I recognize the area. I'll be over as soon as I can.

[dirt_heart]

You'd be surprised.

[A slight smile.]

We'll be here.

[Hesitant and light, but obviously attempting to shut off the terror that's hiding underneath]

I wish I had a better idea of what is going on here...but...I might be able to help. I know...some healing magic. It's not much I'm afraid but I can't...

[He pauses, almost holding his breath as a tapping noise is heard nearby, like a claw against glass]

I'm not sure how long I will be safe here. There is...something out there...

I think all any of us needs to know right now is monsters.

[Kelly's deliberately keeping a lighter view of things, but he does frown slightly at the idea the guy might be in immediate danger. Doesn't even bother touching the potential proviso of healing - he's happy to give anyone shelter that needs it.]

I'm pretty confident of the security here, if you can get here safely.

[choirboy_clerk]

Safe is a relative term at this point, I think

[He smiles slightly]

As safely as possible, then.

[He takes advantage of the TENEKA to send him mental directions to the restaurant.]

We've got more than enough room.
