imeeji_frontstage | DISCIPLINE LIVE: BRING OUT YOUR DEAD

Who: Pink
Where: pep!pep!'s landing
When: Day 371 beyond midnight announcement to morning (after at least a handful of murders)

[Here's a tired boy standing on one of the dorm's elevator landings. The camera pans briefly and there are a few cots rolled out into the space, and a stack of towels in the background.]

Haaah--how's it been, Tokyo-F? Tourists 'specially--what a mornin' ta be used as play pieces, right?

Aaanyway, it seems like it's Murder o'clock again, so I thought I'd do a little discipline Live, just ta put a message on the air. But faar be it from me ta lecture anybody for doin' questionable things 'cause they've been promised a way ta skip town after [looks at wrist] two weeks in idol hell--haha, who knows what one'd do until put in that situation themselves, right?

It's a shame there's no way ta arrange things with types who'd be willin' ta get dead briefly just ta help, though! I heard that's not allowed? Is it an option ta challenge those 'let's fight to the death!' types who were poppin' up a week ago? Or is this an inflicting max trauma sorta thing? [Waves hand] But still, we've already got some people goin' missing. [Wags finger] That's no way ta act as a visitor--ta just leave people lying around wherever ya like once you're done usin' our bodies as your ticket out, right? Jeez, unseemly! So if anybody could kindly return our dead ta us ta look after, I'd greatly appreciate it!

I suppose if you're the culprit yourself, ya might benefit from knowin' that Peppep's landing is officially a no violence zone for everybody, magically enforced with a unit ability. I can't really promise anything after ya leave the area, but I'm sure at this point everybody's been blessed with plenty of ways ta escape consequences, so don't even worry about it!

Babies can message though.

Anyway, somebody'll be here ta pick up the body. [Flips the cameras up toward the ceiling.]

((Please put bodies and contact regarding DEAD & REVIVING HERE. Poking Pink or other responses to the Live can be their own top-levels.))

[And that's the surprising part.

[She's seen it happen. She's not that new. Yet to experience it - weakening, fatally failing, losing everything she has, and then being dragged forcibly back what feels like a moment, a heartbeat later? - that's something else. That's something nobody can rightly believe in, simply by watching it happen to others.

[Truly, this is a strange and terrible place - and yet she counts herself as fortunate to be pulled back to it.

[Time must have passed, after all. Alisaie opens her eyes on an unfamiliar ceiling, unfamiliar faces crowding about her, a stranger's hand on her chest.]

What?

[Tell us, what?]

Where is this?

[It's passing strange to think it, but she really could do with a drink.]

Ah—welcome back.

[ pulling up a little mini-water bottle from his bag, along with a granola bar, to offer both to her ]

Please, be at ease. You are at pep!pep!.

[Giving her a little physical space, on the off chance she's not a fan of some random person touching her even if they did just revive her from death.]

Yes, welcome.

[Hi, grabbing herself a cupcake since Lucifel brought them for pep.]

I'm sorry for the shock, but I found you alone so I thought it was best to bring you here right away.

pep!pep!...

[The healers. That would make some degree of sense, and yet...]

I died.

[Alisaie pushes herself up to one elbow, her other hand going to her chest--]

I died, and...

[And here I am.

[This is going to take some processing.]

M-my apologies. If I had only been more careful--

[ gently patting the hand she's using to prop herself up, voice soft ]

Whatever happened could not be your fault. ... Do you know who did this to you?

[She also speaks quietly, moving closer again to make sure she isn't pushing herself.]

You couldn't help that, no matter how careful you were, so please don't apologize. Our units are here to help everyone in these situations.

[She wants to argue, almost--

[It's easier to focus on the immediate, the straightforward, the facts of the matter and not the unbalanced, unsettled, the - admit it, Alisiae - downright fearful way it's making her feel. She's still here, and she's been asked a question. She nods.]

A YOU-kai boy. He - I wasn't thinking. He hardly looked dangerous...

[Stupid.

[Stupid.]

A darker haired boy, or a lighter haired boy?

[Pulling her phone from her pocket and pulling up their profiles.]

It might be easier if you can identify him through his profile?

Edited 2021-06-07 05:17 (UTC)

Light.

[She sits, cautiously - it doesn't hurt, and that's a surprise too. Takes the phone Ren offers are and swipes, and keeps swiping - stops.

[When she holds it out again, it's showing this profile.]

He was hurt, when I met him. His cheek - I thought it was from the explosion. I know little and less of his movements, but... I can't have been the first person that he came for.

[ . . . frowns a little, just barely keeping himself from sighing ]

I see.

. . . He looks young. Moreover, he has been . . . enthusiastic, in these past few weeks—it's understandable that you would not have your guard up.

If he was hurt, then it's understandable that you didn't expect him to hurt you.

[Looking around at the other victims.]

I wonder if anyone else saw him...?

Mayhap.

[Nobody stopped him. But that doesn't mean nobody saw.]

I fear he may try again. He said-- We spoke, briefly. He told me the Producers had changed their terms again, that he had a lot to do. I - cautioned him, but he said he couldn't afford not to take the deal...

He must have been quite desperate.

. . . Then, other YOU-kai may do the same. I see.

Thank you for speaking with us.

[Well, that absolutely doesn't make her worry. Nope, not at all! At least her father is here, but she's worried about SensitIV being hurt again.]

Thank you for telling us. Please... get some rest, okay? You're safe here.

[Maybe kind of looking at Lucifel in a silent 'Will SensitIV be okay?' sort of questioning.]

[Is she listening to this sound advice?

[No, Alisaie is not. She is in fact trying to get up which is a terrible idea, but ignoring little things like massive blood loss is just a matter of will power and stubbornness probably.]

I need to warn my unit. And Hurricane and D.va were in the hotel - I think she was caught in the explosion...

I don't know if anyone will have alerted the others. I've got to let them know. All of them.

[ pats her leg.

you know. just. numbing her legs, specifically. just enough that she'll feel Weird moving ]

Ah, you can text them, or give them a call. That would be the fastest way to reach them.

[Nope. Definitely no getting up, which is why Ren blocks her a little from trying to do so.]

Exactly. They would probably want you to rest too!

[ Once she has spoken to both of the healers and gotten her bearings back ]

Alisaie. . .

Can I get you anything?
