Recalling something one had mentioned, she hummed a song she sometimes heard street musicians play. Holding a distressed person while humming could supposedly calm them with the vibrations. She tried to keep the tune gentle and even, but her breath juddered in her chest. Compartmentalising was all but impossible right now.
Cedar holstered his weapon on his back, then held his hands in front of him, palms up. He took a step back, assuming his best 'I won't hurt you' stance. He tried to think of something calming to say, then promptly decided against it, settling on silence instead.
She put a grin on her face and reopened her eyes. She could see colors and vague shapes now, but everything was a blur. "Oh dear," She giggled. "I messed up. I'm not going to be much use for anyone in this state."
The tall girl brought herself down on a landing pad and began rappelling down into the alleyway via vines; as good as she was, it seemed too dicey for a girl as tall and muscular as her, aboard a glider, to make a descent directly with everyone else. While they dealt with Ruskali behind her, Iris knelt and inspect the corpse. Whoa. What's with the ring?
Is there still a Horror at Ruskali's place, or was that Nox the one that got him? I know it's possible he was the mentioned host all along, but either way, I'm guessing the investigation will continue just to make sure all threats are dealt with?
I've never roleplayed someone that's been blinded before. This is going to be interesting.
Sounds good, I'm trying to gauge whether Rose would have a phone, considering her dad is likely pretty wealthy. On the one hand it's a practical thing, on the other, she left behind most aspects of her old life and prefers to make her own way rather than have everything handed to her.
Leaning towards no, for that reason and the fact she'd figure the Ze would have some form of communication. Now I think about it though, it's likely there are rich people out shopping, and somebody would get help. Or is Archer in contact with the care centre, since the Ze deal with hosts on a regular basis?
"Y'know Fluke, less talking and more doing would be nice!"
"Uh... guys... Ruski has become a, uh, host for a Nox."
Cedar moved closer to the body, motioning to shoo the armadillo away from it.
She aimed for his mouth as she tearfully struck forth hoping she could end the Nox without ending Ruskali with it.
"Cover your eyes everyone!" she yelled at the top of her lungs, before bracing for recoil and firing.
Iris reflexively lifted up one hand over her eyes, feeling the cool texture of her mask against her skin. She almost felt, rather than saw, the resulting muzzle flash from Steel Rose's weapon going off, but from her height above the rest of the team she wasn't as affected by the blinding light of her teammate's energy blast;
Dimly he was aware of Iris above them, but the issue that caught his attention more was Listener's clear reluctance to risk harming Ruskali. He didn't blame her, but he still moved closer, taking a combative stance as his vision readjusted slightly from the shot.
