Well Damn

[chasingstars201.livejournal.com]

[Misaki doesn’t so much appear on the Plane as get thrown onto it, accompanied by the sound of an explosion, abruptly cut off, and twists of flame leaping from nowhere that vanish as soon as she hits the not-floor. Her raid helmet tumbles off, leaving her sweaty, tangled hair to dangle in her face.

She’s on her side, hand pressed hard against her collarbone. Dark, ugly arterial blood the color of polished mahogany slimes up between her fingers and dribbles down the back of her hand. Each breath sounds like someone coughing air through a soaked paper bag.

She rolls onto her back. Whispers,] Idiot. You idiot.

[A pink bubble forms around the word and bursts at the corner of her mouth, and she starts coughing.]




[[So, this is a mod-approved death post--in other words, THERE IS NO WAY TO SAVE HER. Mwaha-hem. If you post, be prepared for lots of blood and potentially some emo. Also, there is a prompt that leads to this which will be put up later. THAT IS ALL.]]

[Oh. God.]

Misaki! [Runs to her and crouches down.]

[chasingstars201.livejournal.com]

[Weak smile.] Hello...

[contract_star]

[Hei looks her over, taking in the damage. Arterial bleeding, blood in the lungs, internal injuries. Hei sets his jaw and he goes numb.]

[There's nothing he can do.]

[He takes her other hand and presses the other over the hand at her neck to help staunch the flow, even though it's useless.]

How did this happen?

[chasingstars201.livejournal.com]

[Is shivering a little and wishing it would stop. She swallows, tastes blood.] Raided the den... Trap. Rookies. Idiot. [Starts coughing again.] Sorry. [Brushes her fingers against her throat.] Hurts to talk.

Misaki! [And Dino's down next her as soon as he sees the blood]

[chasingstars201.livejournal.com]

[Swallows a bit and starts coughing.] We found the gang. [Yes, she is being ironic.]

[buckingbronco.livejournal.com]

Hey, be careful. What did you get hit with? [Goes to check on her wound]

[chasingstars201.livejournal.com]

Rebar. [Presses a little harder and is scared of how hard it is to keep pressure.] One of the rookies they insisted... on... [She pauses, gritting her teeth.] Idiot kid. Set off a trap. Rebar punched through my shoulder, nicked the artery. Be dead already if... [Starts coughing again blood speckles her lips.]

[spots the dying woman, and is not at all surprised at it, strolling up to her, ever casual, and, well, eulogising]

"They shall have stars at elbow and foot; though they go mad they shall be sane, though they sink through the sea they shall rise again; though lovers be lost love shall not; and death shall have no dominion."

[crouches beside her and raises an eyebrow] Well, Miss Kirihara, it looks like you're not that bright. Do you want help dying, or would you prefer to go about it the slow, painful, melodramatic way?

[chasingstars201.livejournal.com]

[Actually... smiles at him. Not even with dislike.] Apparently I'm not. Hello, you bastard. What do you think? Seems you've seen your share of melodrama--you contribute quite nicely, in fact.

[laughs] I am Time Lord, who was educated in the Academy, by the Citadel, in the Capitol, which sits between the mountains of Solace and Solitude on the continent of Wild Endeavour, on the planet of Gallifrey which sits in Inner Time and in the constellation of Kasterborous. Being overdramatic is in the species description.

[comes over and squats down near her. Right now he's wishing he'd stoked up on nanogenes while he was on new Earth] I'm sorry, Misaki.

[chasingstars201.livejournal.com]

[Closes her eyes, and is quiet for a while, though she doesn't know it. Her eyes flutter open. She rasps,] For what? I knew the risks. But... [She tries to sit up and yells in pain before falling back to the Plane. She closes her eyes again.] The Twins. I need to...

[She gives him a tiny, ironic smile.] Yell them up for me?

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

[puts a gentle hand on her chest] Just rest. I'll get them. [frowns, pausing a moment. Then shrugs off his coat, bunching it up and putting it under her head for a pillow] The blood will pool up in your throat eventually anyway. But you'll be able to talk easier like this.

[realitymods]

[frown, standing over her] What do you want?

[chasingstars201.livejournal.com]

[She licks her lips, giving them a bleary look and trying to get her eyes to focus.] Bomb. There was... a bomb. One of my men. Got in the way... tried to save...

[She shakes her head.] Bring him back. I'll do whatever you want. Anything.

[realitymods]

[tilt their heads] But why?

[as always, Shenzi is drawn like a magnet to the promise of blood- but when she sees the source, her pace slackens and she comes to a stop to sit by Misaki; she's seen enough kills to know the situation is hopeless]

Hope you got what you wanted.

[chasingstars201.livejournal.com]

What I...? [Have some bleary confusion.]

[innocenceheart.livejournal.com]

Miss Misaki!

[Allen rushes towards you, looking worried and a little determined]

[chasingstars201.livejournal.com]

[She closes her eyes. This is the last thing she needs.] Allen.

[innocenceheart.livejournal.com]

[rips off a piece of his shirt and tries to put pressure on her wound as he has a need to try to save everyone]

Hold on a moment. I'll get you some help...

[Jack is drawn by the sound, but is not quite prepared for what he sees. He's immediately kneeling besides her, his expression a mixture of confusion, anger, and worry] What the hell happened?!

[chasingstars201.livejournal.com]

A very loud explosion and a very fast-moving chunk of rebar. [She grunts and starts coughing again.]

[itsthecoat.livejournal.com]

[He looks at the blood oozing from between her fingers, his worry only increasing. Slowly, as gently as he can, he draws her body closer to his, arms supporting her head] Why are you here then?! You should be in your own world, where someone can treat you!
