11.0 [Video] Broken, Battered, and Bruised

[reckless_riley]

[WARNING: The following entry contains spoilers for Tony's canon, The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus.]

[Riley turns the video function of her comm on and points the camera at herself. Clearly resting in bed, she also appears to be sporting a nasty black eye, and is holding a towel full of ice to the side of her head. She looks disheveled and like

[Sal is blindsided by this. Not only is Riley hurt, but someone did it to her. And Sal has never met this Tony guy, but he hates him. Which is to say that Sal never hates people, especially those who have not gotten a chance to defend themselves. But someone lays a hand on Riley? That's not okay. He doesn't care what Tony's reasons were, they aren't good enough.]

Woah, woah, woah, Riley, what th'hell? Y'in yer room?

[reckless_riley]

[Sal. Riley offers a small, wry smile.]

I'm about two seconds away from going bungee jumping but if you hurry you might catch me before I go.

[She's not going to say no to company after this. She feels like utter shit and hurts and Sal is one of the people who would make her feel better to be around.]

[conquistasal]

Hey, hey. Not funny. Have y'seen yerself? Not funny.

I'mna be there in 'bout ten seconds. [Which is to say five minutes or so. Because Gunn has to get there first.]

[reckless_riley]

Hey, hey, I may have been hit on the head but that totally funny.

[She manages to sound just a little indignant.]

But see you soon...

[missmimmi]

[This is a dot dot dot moment]

What?

[reckless_riley]

Do I need to restate something?

[Riley blinks as her vision swims briefly. She thought she'd been pretty clear.]

[graparu]

Oh fuck what?! Some asshole did that to you? Not cool.

[Grapple sounds pretty damn pissed.]

You gonna be alright darlin'? Where's your room?

[She's happy to stand guard in case the bastard comes back.]

[reckless_riley]

The uncoolest of uncool.

[Riley winces briefly.]

I'll be alright though. Got a friend already on their way...but thanks for the offer uhm...

[Riley really hopes that she doesn't know this woman's name because they haven't met, not because that blow to her head made her forget things.]

[graparu]

Grapple. Yeah it's a weird name, don't ask.

[She doesn't know your name either, Riley. But that's not the point.]

Tell me what deck at least so I can keep an eye out.

[You have yourself a guard.]

[reckless_riley]

Nothin' wrong with a weird name. I'm Riley.

[She takes a deep breath.]

I'm on deck seven...room six-four-five-oh. His room is....six...four...five something so be careful okay?

[Gunn's reaction is dual. Someone - some guy - had killed children to turn a profit. Possibly on this boat. It makes his stomach curl, anger in the back of his throat.

And that man hurt Riley. Which, Gunn is surprised to feel, makes him furious. Coldly, calculatedly furious.]

Where are you. Your room?

[His tone is brooking no argument here.]

Audio;

[reckless_riley]

[Riley pauses only briefly.]

Yeah, I'm in my room. Doctor's still here but...yeah.

Audio;

[forgivemesister]

[There's a shift, a rustle of clothing and the sound of a door shutting.]

I don't mind a doctor. I'm coming over, I'll be there in a minute.

...Unless you don't want company.

[That's belatedly tacked on, but he'll respect it if she doesn't want to see him.]

[reckless_riley]

[As if Riley's going to say no. Right now she's shaken up enough that any company is welcome, especially people she knows.

Her response is immediately.]

No, come...please?

[standardpackage]

[WELP

Jinx doesn't even know what to say because, wow, Tony beats women and steals from children.

What the hell.]

That fucker. Where is he an' where are ya'?

[Oh, and thanks for his ID, Riley~]

[reckless_riley]

Don't know where he is...I'm in my room.

[Enjoy that ID. Riley hopes that someone uses it to track Tony down and give him what he deserves.

Vindictive? Riley? Nooooooo...]

[standardpackage]

Need comp'ny?

[Or a body guard? Or a hit man?]

[reckless_riley]

Maybe later...it's gonna be kinda crowded in a bit...

[Riley pauses to sigh.]

I'll call you, Jinx?
