[0] WEEKS WITHOUT MURDER


BONJOUR.

Another morning greets you in [ setting ], and it greets you loudly. A commotion erupts somewhere ahead: voices raised, someone screaming, another shouting for help. If you're unlucky enough to be passing near the infirmary, you have a front-row seat to the chaos.

Fran and Y'shtola are flung from the infirmary like ragdolls, hitting the ground in a tangle of limbs and dust. Something inside is on a rampage— something feral, unbound, and unwilling to be tamed.

The speakers crackle to life, Lobelia's voice far too cheerful for the circumstances.

Bonjour, mes amis. If you happen to be wandering near the infirmary this fine morning, do take care... there appears to be a rather spirited beast expressing its displeasure. Fran and Y'shtola have already demonstrated the consequences of getting too close... quite spectacularly, I might add.

So, unless you wish to go flying before breakfast, I suggest maintaining a respectful distance. C'est simple.

Thank you for your attention, and do enjoy the rest of your morning... preferably from afar. ❞


OOC NOTE: A temporary barrier formed around the battlefield during the fight. Only characters already inside the epicenter were able to participate. Anyone who attempts to cross the boundary will be met with a sharp electric shock and forcibly bounced back several feet.

[Just quietly:]

If that's the case. Your fault, too. But of course, go ahead. [His voice is a little hollowly casual, but it's stern all the same.] I'll let the wish maker eat me, and I'll fix your problem. Right? Then you won't need to care anymore about me. Or anyone else.

[ There.

is

a flash of something in Siffrin’s eye when he hears that from Hansa. He’s not sure what it is, but it feels like drowning. ]

That’s not… what I meant.

[ they. have to focus. they can’t stick to this conversation when Thancred (or what looks like him) is coming for them. ]

Mm. It's not? Could have fooled me.

[Light, light. A light tone, but his crystalline eye is almost sunken from the exhaustion in his face. He will watch the fight impassively, as he comments:]

I hardly want to be your burden. Just tell me the truth.

(You can’t bring yourself to do that.

Keep fighting, Siffrin.) ]
