[OOM: Gabriel Tam gives a speech to a cheerful crowd, and to a few surprise guests.
And things really, really don't go as planned.]
The door slams open, and Regan Tam runs through. For once, she's neither composed nor immaculate, though she was a short while ago; her hair is straggling, her face white and eyes wild. She grabs the door, holding it open.
The reason becomes clear an instant later, from the cavalcade that follows: Galadan, bearing an unconscious and blood-drenched Gabriel Tam in his arms. Gabriel's face and chest are laid open, deep awful wounds seared black at the edges. Beside him hurries Simon Tam, taut and intent; taking up the rear comes River, her skirt soaked with red and her hands streaked with it. She scans the room with a bodyguard's sharp paranoia, as the group hurries towards the infirmary.
[OOC: They're going to be heading straight for the infirmary and not likely to change course, but this is not at all plot-locked! Feel free to notice, to try to interact if you don't mind your character getting a very distracted response, or to have your character stop by to help or stare.
Also, warnings for a fair bit of gore in the above OOM.]
