Video: UN: BurningNebula

[whrrenah]

[The background image shows the scientist's building where everyone gets the Talk about Nippon and Kizuna magic and all that fun stuff. In the foreground is a young woman, face clearly showing that she has a dangerously high temperature with her droopy eyes. Another disconcerting thing is that she's in a halter top and no winter gear. Her left upper arm is scarred, right arm is unblemished]

I don't know how these people think we can trust them after they just snatch us out of our prospective donuts. At least it feels nice out here.

[Yeah, it would if you have 103F temp and rising.]

I need...

I guess I need to find my bearings.

And a place to rest.

I think...

[Her voice fades out as she tries to think]

This sucks. I can't think. I need help. This fever's too high. I don't even know how I'm standing.

[And the feed jars suddenly, landing hard on the ground beside a hand that's alarmingly still.]

Hey. Where are you? I can come get you somewhere safe for a bit.

[Maybe get something to help with that fever too. He might be blind but he knows a thing or two.]

Woah! Are you okay? They should have taken you to the hospital if you have a fever!

[He's so worried already.]

[whrrenah]

[ It's a minute before she can respond. ]

They took me away. Why should I trust their hospitals?

[ Says the person who had it ingrained in her head as soon as she could walk that most of the government couldn't be trusted. But you don't see her face, just her hand. ]

[whrrenah]

[It's a minute before she can respond.]

Um...that 'welcome to kidnapper world' place. Where the scientists are?

I didn't get far.

[typhlotic]

I'm on my way okay? I move fast so I should be there soon.

[No way is he leaving her where she is right now.]

[hideawayparadise]

I know it seems like a lot but the doctors are really good. And they can at least hold you over until I guess...a healer gets to you? I don't know.

There's a really nice doctor I know but he's in Yokohama... Look, is anyone getting you?

[He's rambling a little because he's worried.]

[whrrenah]

I'll be sure not to run off or anything.

[ Crisis humor during a crisis? Check.]

[whrrenah]

Scientists took me from my home. I can't trust them.

[It didn't matter that they were a little...okay, they were really lacking in real answers. Whether they were genuine or not, she wasn't going to stay with them. ]

Someone is.

[ Which probably should have worried her more but she was going to take her chances with strangers before scientists. ]

[typhlotic]

[He laughs softly and nods then hangs up. Because you can't really hold the thing and go wolf easily. But wolf is much faster for him to move in and he can rush through the city to get to the building where he stops to sniff the air for someone fallen. Finding her, he noses her a bit to check and see if she's still awake first.]

[hideawayparadise]

The doctors aren't scientists though.

[He wiggles in his seat.]

Um...I'll keep you company until they come then. The person coming. Is that okay?

[whrrenah]

If this world is run with magic-I will take my chances. I'm not dying because they think they're helping.

[ Which is an odd thing to say, right? ]

That's okay. I'm Wren.

[Perfectly normal conversation to have when you're burning up. ]

[hideawayparadise]

I'm Riley. How much were you able to learn in the orientation before...

[Before she hit the ground.]

[whrrenah]

[ She's not out cold. Dozing, perhaps. And her cheek is on fire. But she stirs at the cold, wet nose. ]

Puppy...

[ She doesn't really move to brush the nose away or to try and pet the fur. ]

[typhlotic]

[Good. She's awake. Transforming into a very naked version of the man she's spoken to, he offers her a smile before grabbing her device and then gathering her into his arms so he can carry her. Not hard when he's a werewolf and much bigger than her really.]

I'm gonna get you somewhere safe, alright? Here's the thing they gave you.

[He sets that on her stomach near her hand.]

[whrrenah]

[There's a small sound from her. Probably due to the attempt to recall what they said. ]

I got the jist of it. Their magic is going to kill me.

[hideawayparadise]

Kill you? You can't be around magic?

[whrrenah]

[ Oh! She's getting picked up? The change in orientation is dizzying and one arm instinctively loops around his neck. ]

Okay.

[ her other hand covers the device. And she rests her cheek on his collarbone. Had she noted he was naked? Probably not. But he's cooler than she is, at the moment and so she'll take it.]

[whrrenah]

If it's used on me, I get sick like this.

[as in all things, it's more complicated than that, but the brain power to explain it fully just isn't there.]

Like an allergy.

[typhlotic]

I'm Silvio. What's your name?

[Just so he'll help her stay a little aware at least. Best to keep her talking until he's got her back to the forests and his camp.]

[hideawayparadise]

So it can happen near you but not directly to you?

[Because now he wants to know so he can make sure to not accidentally hurt her showing off.]

[whrrenah]

Wren'ah.

[ It sounds accented but not in the way other humans would say it. A little roll of the 'r', a little swallow on the 'n'. She doesn't even realize she did it. ]

[typhlotic]

That's a beautiful name. Where are you from?

[Because she smells...different. But that's just something he's pretty used to honestly. Everyone here unless they are absolutely human in every way without any kizuna changes smells different.]

[whrrenah]

Usually happens when moving through dimensions and my mother isn't there.

[ Which means... her hand curls into a tense fist. ]

They can't send me home. Even-even if they wanted to.

[hideawayparadise]

Not yet. They're looking for a way to get us all back. Every single one of us.

[He takes a deep breath.]

You're going to be okay. Just keep talking to me.

[whrrenah]

Was Kaitown. Now it's Earth Mountain.

[ Who needs a truth serum when you're half delirious with fever? And she would smell different. Not only with clean eating lacking in pesticides and processed foods, but there's just something underlying. Like hot asphalt after rain. That oddly alluring ozone layer. She tries to open her eyes and actually focuses to get a look at him. ]

You're not from New York? I hear they are ruthless savages there.
