026 - Maybe sparrow you should wait (The hawks alight 'til morning)

[chasingstars201.livejournal.com]

[Misaki appears in the bar wearing casual clothes, her hair stuffed up under a baseball cap. The side of her face is bruised and scratched. She limps over behind the bar, pulls a clean rag from one of the drawers and dumps some cheap whiskey over it before gingerly unbuttoning the topmost button of her shirt and pulling back the collar. There's a rather ugly gash underneath, bleeding sluggishly. Those with experience in such areas will recognize it as a weevil bite. She dabs at it gently with the cloth, hissing a little.]

What the hell was that?

[...shit.] What did it look like?

[chasingstars201.livejournal.com]

A freak in a circus mask. [Sorry if she sounds irritated. It's only 'cause... well... she is.]

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

Freaks in circus masks don't usually leave bites like that.

[chasingstars201.livejournal.com]

Thank you, Ianto, I had no idea.

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

Yet you have no idea what did bite you.

[ram-of-gold.livejournal.com]

You were in a fight of some sort? [Touches the side of her face, healing it.]

[chasingstars201.livejournal.com]

[Startles at the touch, putting one hand to her face.] Of a sort. You can heal as well?

[ram-of-gold.livejournal.com]

Yes, healing is one of the skills I posses. I shall deal with the rest of your injuries if you have no objection.

[chasingstars201.livejournal.com]

None at all.

[ram-of-gold.livejournal.com]

[Heals the other wounds] What caused injuries such as these?

[Hei is immediately going behind the bar and getting out the first aid kit he has decided to stash there for incidents like this.]

Let me see it.

Where did this happen?

[chasingstars201.livejournal.com]

[Sits down on the bar.] Near the Gate. I was following up on a hunch regarding a reality merger with Ianto. I got some weevils, apparently. Large and ugly with a penchant for biting things.

[contract_star]

[Tenses momentarily when she says "Gate"] Weevils. So not the...

[Falls silent and goes to work on the bite, cleaning, disinfecting and bandaging.]

[chasingstars201.livejournal.com]

[Winces. Sorry, Hei, she wasn't there for the whole hallucination thing.] So not the what?

[contract_star]

[Is quiet for awhile, working.]

There were...things. Inside the Gate. I'm pretty sure they were real, anyway.

[Finishes the bandaging.] You'll probably need stitches. See a doctor as soon as you can.

Goodness! ...Hm...odd scent.

Ah, hold still a moment, Misaki. I will heal you.

[chasingstars201.livejournal.com]

Thank you, Amaterasu.

[shinypaws.livejournal.com]

[Nods and makes a brush stroke in the air above the wound. In an instant it's healing.]

Do you know what did this to you? The scent isn't something I recognize.

[chasingstars201.livejournal.com]

Weevils, apparently. Creatures from a friend's reality.

[shinypaws.livejournal.com]

Ah, another of those mergers, is it?

Weevils? Goodness. I have never heard of a weevil that was capable of doing this. Though, something tells me that you are not talking about an overlarge and very cross insect.

[saythistostart.livejournal.com]

Misaki-san...?! Ah, j-just a moment! [Drops from the Plane, then comes back a few minutes later with a first aid kit.] Um... here. May I...?

[chasingstars201.livejournal.com]

Thank you.

[He nods and starts to work on her injuries. It looks kind of like the marks Ianto had a while ago (http://community.livejournal.com/realityshifted/184796.html), but Ryotarou is kind of naive and believed it when Ianto told him they were dog-bites. Um.]

[chasingstars201.livejournal.com]

[Lets him work and doesn't offer any answers. :\ SORRY DUDE, YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE TO ASK.]

[saythistostart.livejournal.com]

[Waits a minute or two while he bandages, but... curiosity gets him eventually.] What happened, Misaki-san...?
