Re: The Lobby

[justarider]

Died? Who are Devin and Toby?

Re: The Lobby

[balancetheblood]

People.

[ The little girl steps up ]

Devin was a... bad man. They trusted him, and they shouldn't have.

Toby is who we're protecting. She's who brought us here.

Re: The Lobby

[justarider]

[She glances over at the little girl and then back at the older one.]

I'm glad you were able to protect Toby, but... I'm sorry you were...

Is... may I please bandage them?

Re: The Lobby

[balancetheblood]

[ Dare ponders this for a moment, lips pursed, then shrugs ]

Sure, I guess. Whatever.

Re: The Lobby

[justarider]

[She steps forward and pulls out some bandages.]

If you'll lift your shirt out of the way, I can wrap this for you.

Re: The Lobby

[balancetheblood]

[ She stands, and lifts her shirt up. There are three wounds, clustered together, a bit inflamed as though irritated by something unseen. ]

Re: The Lobby

[justarider]

... Were they poisoned?

Re: The Lobby

[balancetheblood]

[ she makes a little disgusted noise. ]

I said it was iron, didn't I? So yeah.

Re: The Lobby

[justarider]

[Checking her back to see if they... came out?]

Oh...

Re: The Lobby

[balancetheblood]

[ There are exit wounds.

The little girl pipes up. ]

We're part of faerie. Iron poisons us, even when we're part human, too.

Re: The Lobby

[justarider]

[at least they're not still in her then. She makes pads out of the bandages and places them over the openings and binding them securely into place.]

I... don't know what to do help with poisoning. I'm sorry.

Re: The Lobby

[balancetheblood]

[ The teenager shrugs one shoulder ]

It can't kill me any more than it already has.

[ beat ]

Thanks. I guess.

Re: The Lobby

[justarider]

It's not a problem. Is that too tight?

Re: The Lobby

[balancetheblood]

[ she shakes her head and lowers her shirt ]

I'm still not supposed to let you upstairs, though. Not without permission.

Re: The Lobby

[justarider]

Can you give me permission?

Re: The Lobby

[balancetheblood]

[ Dare shakes her head and nods towards the intercom ]

Gotta call up.

Re: The Lobby

[justarider]

[She glances at the intercom and back at Dare.]

Call? I... uh. I guess I should say most technology is... not something I'm familiar with.

Re: The Lobby

[balancetheblood]

Whatever.

[ Dare shrugs ]

I guess I can ask, though, if you want.

Re: The Lobby

[justarider]

I'd really appreciate that, Dare. Thank you.

Re: The Lobby

[balancetheblood]

[ Dare gets up and presses the call button. The conversation she has is somehow inaudible, despite being so nearby, and relatively brief. She turns back to you when she's released the button ]

Boss says you can go up.

Re: The Lobby

[justarider]

Your boss?

Re: The Lobby

[balancetheblood]

The Powers That Be, the eye in the sky, Big Brother, whatever. The people in charge said yes.

[ she jerks her thumb over her shoulder ]

If either of you are going up, you should probably do it before they change their minds.

Re: The Lobby

[justarider]

[She reaches over to lay a hand on Dare's shoulder and offers her another roll of bandages.]

I'll go. I appreciate your help. You should hold onto this in case those get bloody.

Re: The Lobby

[balancetheblood]

Thanks.

[ The little girl pipes up ]

Would you like me to come? I'm familiar with most of the places you'll find here.

Re: The Lobby

[justarider]

Sure. What's your name?

[Heading for the stairs to go on up.]
