[Alice] Job 009 :: The Camisado Job [Written/Action] {BACKDATED to late night on the 7th}

[shadedsunlight]

[For anyone in community house seven hoping to get some sleep... well, sorry for the commotion up on the third floor. No need to be alarmed, it's not a mallynapping, just two crazies with DID slugging it out. Things will quiet down after a few minutes. When it does, a message will come over the journal The handwriting is shaky and a little sloppy.

[ A kid with light-colored hair? Considering Luceti and its high number of people itching to whip out a sword and go at it... ]

You're going to have to be more specific than that, you know.

[ Answered with voice because her handwriting is truly awful and she doesn't care enough to bother matching the original medium anyway. Mostly because of that, she's halfway towards not expecting an answer back. ]

[Written]

[shadedsunlight]

[It's about a minute or two and the writing is still just as sloppy, but a reply does come in.]

Greyish hair. Dark skin. Probably... ten or twelve years old. Grey eyes, real crazy expression. Punches like a goddamn freight train.

[voice]

[thestormishere]

[ And well, it's only then that Lightning kind of gets it that something could be wrong. She's a little jaded, when it comes to danger. ]

... Are you alright?

[Written]

[shadedsunlight]

All fine on this front.

[Voice]

[de_bel_survivor]

That's what the commotion about? [Since he's on the second floor, it's hard for him not to hear it.

Also, answering with voice because it's night time. And he's a bit too lazy to reach for his pencil or pen.]

[Written]

[shadedsunlight]

Yes. Sorry about that. All better now.

[Voice]

[de_bel_survivor]

You sure? [That napkin over the camera got bits of blood on it.]

[Written]

[shadedsunlight]

Peachy keen. Noise shouldn't happen again. Probably usually doesn't.

[ written ]

[slaying]

Trouble?

[ because if someone giles cares about is in trouble then giles could be in trouble. ]

[ written ]

[shadedsunlight]

Better now. Situation resolved.

[The handwriting there? Several shades away from anything remotely resembling Ginia's neat handwriting.]

[ written ]

[slaying]

[ well, that's wacky. ]

-- You ok?

[ written ]

[shadedsunlight]

Just peachy now.

[consultmybooks]

[There will be about two minutes between Alice's transmission and Giles showing up at the kitchen door, panting as though he's just run a mile.

He quickly assesses the damage, and comes to one conclusion.]

...Alice?

[shadedsunlight]

[Alice glances over at him, briefly assession the situation before there's a flicker of near relief and a hint of relaxation slipping into her body. Then she looks away again, shifts the ice pack from her left hand over to her right, and resumes petting Orenji.

Kitties. Kitties do make things better.]

[consultmybooks]

[Alice, did you...

...did you seriously just get yourself half killed over a cat?]

Alice, what the hell just happened?

[shadedsunlight]

[Ginia started it. Alice finished it.

Alice is quiet for a few seconds longer, watching Orenji as he nibbles lightly on her fingers, barely registering needle-like teeth nomming away. After awhile, the fact Giles spoke to her does register and she turns to look over at him.]

/He tried to kill them. Couldn't let that happen./

[Her signs are stilted and stiff, her expression blank.

She goes back to giving Orenji attention.]

[action] since he can't read

[folkloristic]

[ Helios definitely can't let that go either. He will be down in the kitchen in a few minutes after seeing and checking the rooms. ] Ginia?

[ He stops dead at the growl and look she gives him. No, not Ginia... ] Alice...what, what happened?

[action] You should get that fixed Helios geeze

[shadedsunlight]

[There's a glance, a flicker of recognition and acceptance, then Alice's gaze turns right back to the kitten lapping up the last drops of milk in the bowl. Her hand is shaky as she pets him, trying her best to focus on the kitten and just the kitten alone. Helios is here. If Razlo shows up, Helios can take care of him, right?]

[action] He's working on it!

[folkloristic]

[ Helios' breath in his chest exhales slowly, carefully, and he makes his way inside the kitchen with slow steady movements. He might be a few feet from Alice and the kitten now, he makes note of her wounds and frowns. If he did show up Helios would take care of him, but seeing as how the commotion has died down? He's hoping he doesn't have to. ] Who-who did this?

[action] When is he being taken?

[shadedsunlight]

[Alice focuses on Orenji for just a little longer, letting the kitten nibble on her fingers.

After a minute of silence, she looks up at Helios. Behind all the cold confidence keeping her together, there's something else not often seen at all; fear and confusion.]

/Don't know his name./

[A partial truth. Even in his younger form, there's only a few people in the village Alice can think of that fit that general description. But whoever that was, it wasn't Livio. No, it was definitely someone else. Some other... side.]
