[Daniil posts live from a café near the museum. He has no patience for typing responses, and his own visage should explain why. His nose has recently been broken and reset. He looks exhausted and irritated, but he has a duty.]

I need a couple people to come down to the café near that absurd museum with the sewn up fruit exhibits. Bring a stretcher, we have a patient who could use some more urgent treatment.

[From somewhere offscreen, a voice that is distinctly not Daniil’s states:] This Etrayan shot me in an attempt to get information I did not possess. I would appreciate his removal from my presence.

Now- That’s not true at all. That is not the reason you were stopped. [Daniil now regrets making a video, but what’s done is done. ]

[feytality]

You promised me self-defense only!!

[ she's not mad, she's disappointed ]

[thantagonist]

Have you looked outside? Everything I do is for self-defense! Look at my face! I haven’t endured so many beatings since my academy days as a boy!

[feytality]

Was Castor specifically attacking you?

[ she's pretty battered too, and her arm is still bandaged ]

[thantagonist]

No. He was more fleeing on foot. I merely removed his means of escape.

[feytality]

Then it's not self-defense, doctor.

[ but romano is right. no one's dying, so... ]

Did anyone look at your face yet?

[thantagonist]

I have. I’ve got a mirror. And as you said yourself, I am a doctor.

[feytality]

I meant for treating it.... Do you need help?

[ she's already siccing romano on him anyway ]

[thantagonist]

You know how to fix a broken nose?

[feytality]

No, and I only have one good arm anyway.... but I can try to find someone to help you.

[ such as romano, ]

[thantagonist]

It’s already set. It just looks horrible. There’s nothing to be done for it but he careful with it.

Why do you only have one good arm?

[feytality]

Still, just let Dr. Romano look at ot for my peace of mind?

[ pwease ]

I'm recovering from being stabbed.

[thantagonist]

Fine, very well. I’m sure he’ll be thrilled to see me. [He is going to 100% try to dodge Romano for the next few days.]

How did you get stabbed? I assume it’s been tended to, but I still feel compelled to ask.

[feytality]

Thank you. [ do not make her come after you!! ]

I got kidnapped to those tower games. It still hurts, but I think it's getting better.

[ but another look at it wouldn't go amiss ]

[thantagonist]

Oh no, Maya. [His face shifts in genuine concern. Thick brows softening, mouth turning into a frown.]

I’m grateful you’re here rather than the morgue. So you escaped, somehow. I’m grateful that it was even possible. Listen, we should avoid the corpses now without guardianship.

[feytality]

Thanks. Me too.

[ why is daniil so sweet to her and such a gremlin to everyone else? ] Yeah. We should. Fort Badass is good for protection, there's a bunch of people here who will make sure everyone's safe.

[ she still wants to go out, but she's not going out alone, that's for sure. ]

[thantagonist]

[Sometiems it’s luck. She doesn’t irritate him.]

That much is true enough. I can be at ease knowing the various supermen guard us. I think done my part for now. Not that I’ll do nothing else, but I can work from indoors.

[feytality]

[ shoulda said because they are ~friends~ ]

Right! The powered people can handle being out in the streets.

[ less chance of him having to use his gun again, also ]

[thantagonist]

[Being friends with him doesn’t really spare them his ire.]

So, what will you do? I feel as though I’ve seen enough for a lifetime this week. But we both know it won’t end.

[feytality]

Yeah.... I feel like I should go back out there, try to help as many spirits as I can. Maybe.... I'll just take a little break then start again...

[thantagonist]

What exactly are you doing for the spirits out there anyway?

[Daniil crosses his arms, regarding her. This was a lot to ask of someone this young, wasn’t it?]

[feytality]

Learning their names so they stop being undead. I think... without Tristan's brooch, that's all I can do.

[ but this creates more corpses ]
