[protectshisown]

Will-o-wisp....

[Looks at the blonde girl again and....okay, questions. Questions would be asked. He gives her a nod and looks at the injury again.]

I'm not surprised. You're that kind of person. I can fix up the injury, if you want.

Re: The Lobby

[balancetheblood]

[ the teenager hesitates, then nods ]

Yeah, I guess.

Re: The Lobby

[protectshisown]

[He nods and oh look, get to used that healing magic, awww yeah.]

Re: The Lobby

[balancetheblood]

[ She lets out a little sigh, like a pain she'd long been used to was suddenly relieved ]

You're okay. She's got good taste, I guess.

Re: The Lobby

[protectshisown]

I try to be. I'm glad I could help.

Is it all right if I ask you more about this place?

Re: The Lobby

[balancetheblood]

[ The teenager shrugs ]

Ask Miss Dreamer over there. That's her job. I just guard the stairs.

[ The little girl waves a little, smiling ]

Re: The Lobby

[protectshisown]

[Nods.] Fair enough.

Why are you guarding the stairs though?

Re: The Lobby

[balancetheblood]

'Cause that's my job.

[ The little girl nods in agreement ]

It's as much for your protection as hers.

Boss doesn't like people going upstairs.

Re: The Lobby

[protectshisown]

Dangerous upstairs, huh?

Can I help Lucky if I go up there?

Re: The Lobby

[balancetheblood]

Dunno.

You can go up, though. You're on the guest list, more or less.

Re: The Lobby

[protectshisown]

[Oh. Well, that's some dere. Truuuust for the terrible.]

Got it. I want to take a short look around here first, but I'll move on soon enough.

Take it easy, okay? You were hurt for a while.

Re: The Lobby

[balancetheblood]

[ She tosses out a casual little salute, and then wanders off to flop on one of the couches.

The little girl smiles at you. ]

She trusts you a lot, you know.

Re: The Lobby

[protectshisown]

[Looking at the other little girl and he smiles fondly.] I guess I should know. Always manages to take me by surprise though.

So, who are you?

Re: The Lobby

[balancetheblood]

Karen.

Re: The Lobby

[protectshisown]

Nice to meet you, Karen.

So what is this place? [Walking over to the windows, trying to peek out between the boards.]

Re: The Lobby

[balancetheblood]

[ The glass on the other side of the boards is so dirty that all you can see is a foggy smear ]

It's a gateway. And a memory.

Re: The Lobby

[protectshisown]

[Pulling out some handkerchief and seeing if he can wipe clear some of the glass.]

Of this Devin guy?

Re: The Lobby

[balancetheblood]

[ No such luck. Sorry, this is not the view you're looking for. ]

In part. He was part of her life for a long time.

Re: The Lobby

[protectshisown]

And he shot her?

Re: The Lobby

[balancetheblood]

He tried to. He did a bad thing, and she found out and tried to stop him.

[ She looks over at the teenager, flopped on the couch ]

Dare stopped him, though. Long enough to save her life, anyway.

Re: The Lobby

[protectshisown]

[He looks over at Dare.]

...did she survive?

Re: The Lobby

[balancetheblood]

[ Karen walks over to one of the bloodstains and looks down at it thoughtfully ]

No. She didn't.

Re: The Lobby

[protectshisown]

[....oh. ):]

[He nods and looking over at the bloodstains.]

And you? Are you....a friend? An actual Will-o-Wisp?

Re: The Lobby

[balancetheblood]

[ Karen grins widely and giggles a little ]

No, I'm not an actual Will-o-Wisp. She saved me once, from a horrible, horrible fate, and took it on herself. So I'm trying to help her, now, by helping you.

Re: The Lobby

[protectshisown]

[He nods.] Well, thanks for the help.

What's the second blood stain?
