049: Fade to Red [Joint Post]

[contract_star]

[They appear crouched on the Plane, having just come from this. They both look like they've essentially just had The Day From Hell. Diva is covered in blood, most of it her own, and she's still bleeding from the ears. She's paler than normal and her eyes have a cloudy, glazed look to them; her movements are sluggish. Hei is covered in blood as well, black mixed with red, and he's bleeding rather profusely from the nose. He starts coughing and spits a glob of blood onto the Plane floor. Both of them look like they're only seconds from either passing out or dying.]

[Diva is more out of it than Hei is as her brain tries to fix the damage from the sedatives, so Hei is the one to speak.]

Mu...now might be a good time...

{She's just murmuring while you do, Mu, don't mind her!}

[lamb_of_gold]

[Rubs some of the excess blood away from her face for now - he'll clean her up properly when she's coherent.]

[madamemoiselle]

{It make take a while unless he can get the drugs out of her system too, but at least she's not dying anymore}

[lamb_of_gold]

[Probably not, but the tissue will repair faster, at least.]

[madamemoiselle]

{How sweet! Once the tissue is healed, Diva sits up, putting a hand on her head}

Ne, what is it?

[lamb_of_gold]

Good morning, Diva. Hei brought you here. You're safe.

[madamemoiselle]

Ne, Amshel...? {Looks around} Where did Amshel go?

[lamb_of_gold]

Not on this plane, unfortunately.

[madamemoiselle]

{She tries to stand} Ah, then I should go back to him.

[lamb_of_gold]

[Catches her before she can fall] Rest and regain your strength here, Diva.

[madamemoiselle]

But...I was looking for someone.

[lamb_of_gold]

You will not get far if you cannot walk, Diva. Please, rest awhile until you are stronger.

[madamemoiselle]

I don't know what happened, though.

[lamb_of_gold]

Give it time. Sometime it's hard to remember an accident or traumatic time, but it will come back to you.

[madamemoiselle]

But....

Sam...I think Sam will be upset because I did something...

[lamb_of_gold]

What did you do that would upset Sam?

[madamemoiselle]

I don't know...But there was something bad that I did...Ah...I don't remember what it is, though.

[lamb_of_gold]

Then do not linger on it - it will come to you in time. How do you feel?

[madamemoiselle]

...Nothing. I don't feel anything.

[lamb_of_gold]

Physically?

[madamemoiselle]

Not really that, or maybe it's...

{She looks as her hands} It's numb.

[lamb_of_gold]

I take it that is not normal for you?

[madamemoiselle]

Mm, not that kind of numb. It is that I don't have any injuries, but my skin is still tingling.

[lamb_of_gold]

Probably an aftereffect of whatever was keeping you incoherent for so long.

[madamemoiselle]

...Is that why I can't remember?
