video - un: starkov / dated 11/12
( the video opens on Alina looking winded. the focus is on her face, sweat trickling down her brow, strands of hair plastered to her cheeks. she's looking past the camera at something else. behind her is a dimly lit hallway, only the wall and light on the wall barely peeking out past her face. )
Be careful if you're invited to any parties these days. ( her eyes flick to the camera, then she lowers the camera to reveal her upper chest. just below her throat, across her collar bone, is a deep, angry slash that still drips past the neckline of her dress.
she raises the camera to her face again, her eyes darting around herself rather than watching the screen. ) That was meant to be my throat. Others weren't so lucky.
The Brotherhood left a message after the slaughter for the families seeking alliance with Macaluso and Taravast. ( her eyes flick back to the camera. ) Basically, don't do it; this is the only warning. ( she searches her memories a bit for the wording- ) "Never seek alliances that could imperil the Brotherhood's interests again."
( she sighs, closes her eyes and shakes her head before reaching up to wipe the strands of hair from her brow. ) I could use some help. I caught one. ( she flips the camera around to show the hallway behind her lined with the carnage of four undead envoys in pieces on the floor. ) But I still need help to clean up.

It's terrible, everything that's happened. We'll keep fighting.

She files the information away: don't attend parties, and check before messing with the Brotherhood. Also perhaps rely less on her wand, since that cut looks gnarly.
What comes instead is:]
You will at least let someone dress the wound, yes?
[what a coincidence as i was just tagging you...]
but it'll smart tomorrow. also may actually be dangerous to her health. she's not a doctor.
so she relents- ) i probably should. before i get in trouble.
see now they can be friends earlier, time turner style
[And chocolate, for when the shock starts.]

What a gruesome scene. It makes her stomach turn. Alayne has A Lot of questions, but first thing's first... One must remember manners, even when talking to a tomboy. She'll wait awhile to respond, so that Alina can receive the assistance she obviously needed. ]
I am glad they did not succeed in taking your life. Did you receive the help you requested?
text ;
i did. thank you for the concern. thankfully we got the mess cleaned up. and i got some help with my injury.
no subject
No, forgive me such a brash question. I do not mean to offend. I only meant to offer my admiration and concern.

Interesting.

That's what I was thinking. They went a long way to make a point against foreign investments in Taravast.
no subject
If it weren't so fantastical to believe, I would start to think the city is just being ruled by the same people since the beginning of time, simply jumping from body to body when theirs become too weak so that they can continue to hold power. It certainly sounds like that's what they're trying to d with the current Doxe.
And how does that make them any better than the likes of Unhalad or Anurr?

Are you planning on tracking them down?
[ And more importantly, is Diego? When were you going to tell him... ]
voice ;
Diego was at the party. He wasn't attacked, though.
no subject
He appreciates that she lets him know how his brother is without him having to ask. Diego is a capable fighter, but he has a tendency to get in over his head. Having him involved complicates how to handle this. ]
Are they able to talk?
[ The man she captured, not Diego. Assuming no one else has stepped in to volunteer yet. ]
