Star 019

[grand-gaia.livejournal.com]

[Isaac is sitting not in the bar, but in the colluseium! Specifically, somewher dark and out of the way. Why? Because he is dirty and bloody, sitting with his knees curled up and his face in his arms. Beside him is his sword - unsheathed and covered in blood. It's unclear how much is his.

Despite it being pretty obvious that he's been in a fight, he's not making any moves to clean himself up or heal. Actually, as he sits in his little ball of emo, he shakes, but whether it's with cold or rage is unclear. It's not tears. Totally not tears. Why the hell would he be crying? Isaac's a big boy, after all.]

[! New BFF is hurt! ... But Ryu can't cast any magic. Not like this, anyway. So he transforms (http://www.dragon-tear.net/images/bof4/BoF4_ryusketch1.jpg) and casts Rejuvenate. Yaaay medium healing of one target! And then turns back to human form and stands there, worried. :< ]

[Isaac seems pretty oblivious until his wounds close, whereupon he looks up. At seeing the hybrid Ryu, Isaac doesn't look so much scared as really REALLY guilty]

[dreamandwakeup.livejournal.com]

What happened?

[grand-gaia.livejournal.com]

[He lays his head back on his arms] We caught up to the people we needed to stop, but Alex escaped with Jenna...and Felix jumped off the lighthouse...

[dreamandwakeup.livejournal.com]

W-what? Are they okay?

[rude-not-ginger.livejournal.com]

[dashes towards him]

Are you all right? What's happened? Are you hurt?

[grand-gaia.livejournal.com]

[Looks up sharply at the noise ho god don't scare him like that!]

Y-yeah. I'm alright. [He looks at all the blood on him] Most of it isn't mine.

[rude-not-ginger.livejournal.com]

Were you in a battle? What happened?

[grand-gaia.livejournal.com]

Yeah. We won, but we failed.

[rude-not-ginger.livejournal.com]

[sadly] I know how that can end up.

[nods] Well, we need to get you cleaned up, make sure you aren't hurt. Do you have fresh clothes anywhere? I've got a wardrobe back on my end of the Plane if you need something.

[Remus had been wandering, always eager to see more of the Plane, when he spotted the coliseum; he'd expected only a quiet tour

and then he saw Isaac, and he was dashing forward until he knelt beside his friend

his voice is gentle, and he pretends not to notice the trembling, or the tears that are totally not there]

What happened, Isaac?

[grand-gaia.livejournal.com]

[He jumps a bit at the voice and it takes a moment of locking eyes with Remus before he speaks] We...We stopped Saturos and Menardi, but Alex got away and...Felix fell off the lighthouse, trying to save Sheba...

We failed.

fffff SORRY THIS IS SO LATE

[oncemarauder.livejournal.com]

[after a moment, Remus tentatively reaches out, to place a hand on Isaac's shoulder; he may not know all of the specifics, but he knows what failure is like]

This time. You can still find Alex, and Felix might still be alive.

Lol. 's cool.

[grand-gaia.livejournal.com]

[Isaac nods sadly]

We can't look for awhile, though - the lighthouse is flooded.

<3

[sad, wry smile] Waiting to do something is always the worst bit. [another glance at Isaac's injuries] Is everyone hurt this badly?

[taughtmedicine.livejournal.com]

[this is a very concerned doctor]

Isaac? How are you feeling? Physically, I mean. We'll get to the other bit in a minute.

[grand-gaia.livejournal.com]

[He looks up at her] Are you new Martha or the Martha I talked to a few days ago?

[Then he looks down at himself] I'm not hurt bad.

[taughtmedicine.livejournal.com]

I'm the old Martha. Which is worse for you, because apparently she's passed her medical exams already.

[worried about the shaking more than anything]

Whatever it is, let me see it. I've got a fair bit of field training already; I just want to see if it's anything that needs taking care of.

[grand-gaia.livejournal.com]

[He seems to relax a bit, uncurling at her prompting. He's actually not hurt that badly.]

[taughtmedicine.livejournal.com]

[her smile is only slightly relieved] That's not too bad, then. But we should probably still take care of it. Will you be okay here while I go grab a kit from the TARDIS?

[shadow-shot.livejournal.com]

[...This can't be good.]

What happened? You okay?

[grand-gaia.livejournal.com]

Yeah. We killed Saturos and Menardi, but Alex got away with Jenna and Kraden and the Jupiter Star.

[shadow-shot.livejournal.com]

So in other words, not everything went well...I see. [Closes her eyes for a moment.]

Have you seen a healer yet?

[grand-gaia.livejournal.com]

Something like that.

Mia did the best she could, but she wore out. I can't focus enough to cast cure.

[shadow-shot.livejournal.com]

What about here on the Plane? There are probably healers here, too.
