thirteen ✞ video (Backdated to Dec 21st) | failed filter to Mercy Thompson

[lostmygrace]

[It's dark. Though intentionally or because it's still not quite light out yet is anyone's guess. She could just be in a room with the lights mostly out. It is light enough however, from some unseen source, to illuminate at least part of her face. And from what can be seen... well. Either she walked into a wall or the equivalent of someone cuffing

[Oh god, please don't be what he thinks this is.]

Anna?!

[That's a wince. Shit, had this been public? ... Great.]

Hey, Chuck. [Brave Voice! She's okay, really.]

[Video because omg stubborn]

What the hell happened to you? Where are you? Is everything okay?

[This is the voice of DON'T EVEN PLAY I KNOW IT'S NOT OKAY.]

[STUBBORNNESS RUNS IN THE FAMILY if you haven't noticed.]

I'm fine. [Oh, that sounds forced and just a little cliche.] Accidentally busted my TV and got in a bit if a tight spot. Michael got me out- so it's fine.

[limitedrun]

Anna?!

[Griffin's initial pressing of the audio function had been entirely accidental. He gripped his NV too hard at seeing the familiar face so battered. When he speaks again, this time actually meant for the NV, he sounds less shocked, but much angrier.]

What the hell happened to you?

[audio]

[lostmygrace]

[Fuckdamnit, it really had been public. Luckily, Anna can throw her voice to sound much more cheerful than it .. really should be. Mostly.]

Bit of a mishap with the Darkness. Accidentally busted my TV.

[limitedrun]

[Unfortunately for Anna, Griffin is well schooled in the arts of sounding okay when you're really not. He isn't buying it for a moment. Especially when she tells him exactly how she got her injuries.]

It was one of the doppelgangers, wasn't it?

[He had his own encounter.]

[lostmygrace]

.. Something like that.

[But if it was a doppleganger, then that meant that He was somewhere in the port. But she would have known, wouldn't she? Lucifer, Michael- Gabriel even. They would have known. It's just not something you miss.]

[Michael doesn't get around to responding to this until the sun is in the sky but he doesn't seem surprised by her appearance.]

Do you want me to remove the tv or get rid of it?

[lostmygrace]

If you could... [She hates asking anything of him, but ... Well. He would be much more suited to ridding it of the apartment than she or Mercy would.]

[servingfather]

[He could fix it but quite honestly he wants nothing more than to reduce the television to dust.] It'll be gone in the next half an hour if you want to return home.

[lostmygrace]

[...ffff.]

Thanks. But ... Will the place still be Darkness proofed? Did that affect anything when it broke?

reaction (1/2)

[makes_asteroids]

[It doesn't take a lot. He knows, in basic who Anna is by watching Gabriel's posts. Who and What. And hearing Griffin's voice. Some things, a father just knows.]

Filtered Voice : (2/2)

[makes_asteroids]

[It's respect that makes him filter it so the other angels and Griffin can see, although the full encryption can only be read by Anna.]

I have repairs of my own to make, but we have empty rooms on other floors, if you or Mercy are in need of a place to stay while the apartment is being fixed.

[lostmygrace]

I can toss the idea at Mercy, if you like. I'm .. alright here, for now. But thanks for the offer.

[makes_asteroids]

You're welcome. And yes, you may, the offer was to both of you.

[axemeaquestion]

Anna? Jesus, what happened?!

[lostmygrace]

Darkness in my room, unfortunately. Accidentally busted the TV and wasn't ... expecting the outcome.

[axemeaquestion]

... you broke the TV. Out of all the OTHER examples of what happens when you break the TV lately.

[lostmygrace]

It wasn't intentional, trust me. I've just got .. I get a bit of a power surge whenever I get over emotional. It was an accident.
