To those of you on my team for the melee, just putting in a head's up that I'm a healer, so don't be surprised if you find your injuries taken care of during the battle.

If you've need of me for anything big, give a shout and I'll be there, though likely as not you'll not have to be bothering, as I'm planning on monitoring the hell out of the lot of you.

Unless one of you specifically tells me not to, of course.

[She pauses for a moment.]

Also, is it just me, or did someone decide to be going on a fucking kidnapping spree? Don't think we ever got this many people in one day even back in the damn facility.

[And she can be found wandering the grounds, inspecting the new people, though she's doing her best not to be too hopeful about seeing anyone she knows. ALL OF THE 4TH WALLING IS MY WANT.]

[ghostly_stutter]

So you've noticed, too, huh? Looks like someone is getting grabby. I hope it doesn't mean whoever is in charge here is getting stronger.

[Excuse Chloe as she shudders a bit.]

So you're taking part in the fight? Wish I could help, but...

[Yeah. Her powers wouldn't do much good, much to Chloe's chagrin.]

Good luck out there.

[dontfeartheme]

There's a bloody lovely image. Someone who kidnaps across dimensions, getting stronger? Wouldn't fucking surprise me, though.

[Lovely, Chloe, thanks for that. Then she frowns slightly.]

Thanks. I take it you're not much of a fighter, then?

[ghostly_stutter]

[A bit of a forced laugh. Well, it made sense, didn't it? Then again, there were too many possibilities.]

Same here.

[Oops. You're welcome?]

Define 'fighter.' I'm not strong, or well trained, that's for sure. I'm not completely helpless, though. My ability was at least able to help me in a fix back home. Here I feel even more useless than I did before.

[dontfeartheme]

That's the way it is for most people here. As if it wasn't enough to take us away from our goddamn homes, they need to reduce our powers, too.

[Ryn pauses.]

You should always try to get training.

[5secondgirl]

[Look how nice and calm she's being. Kidnapped from home. Randomly in a castle. With no heaters.]

Oh thanks Ryn. That's really helpful of you. Just go ahead and heal me whenever.

[Ok enough calm, she raises he voice in frustration.]

But more importantly is there a reason we're in a castle?!?

Audio

[dontfeartheme]

[There's a long pause before Ryn replies here, possibly because she'd needed to fucking pinch herself. She hadn't thought this was a voice she'd ever hear again.]

Envy, tell me that's fucking you and not some hallucination. Or clone.

[Yeah, yeah, Cass had a question, it'll get answered later.]

Audio

[5secondgirl]

Aw Wrath, I'm missed your smiling face so much.

And no, I'm not here. You somehow managed to get drunk and you're seeing me. Hallucinate about something else.

[Who cares about answers, she can mess with Ryn.]

Audio

[dontfeartheme]

It'd figure I finally manage to get drunk without Sloth's aid and you're who I hallucinate about.

[And Ryn actually is smiling now, not that Cass can see it, because motherfucking hell, it is her.]

Fucking hell, where are you, you bitch?

[no_ice_please]

[While out and about, Ryn may stumble across a big guy in a very bright costume unconscious on the ground. More interesting is the fact that he appears to have been recently defrosted: there's still some ice lumps melting away, his face is a little blue, and he's still cold to the touch.

If she looks closely, though, there may be color seeping back into his skin...]

[Commentlog]

[dontfeartheme]

[Of course. Just her damn luck, she's not found anyone she knows yet, but she does run into someone unconscious on the ground, in obvious need of healing. And with a rather...interesting taste in fashion.

Ryn rolls her eyes, but she's not just going to be leaving him like this. With a sigh, she kneels next to him, placing her hand on his shoulder to attempt to heal him.]

[Commentlog]

[no_ice_please]

[At the sudden touch on his shoulder, the large costumed man does... absolutely nothing. Well, it might occur to Ryn that he's not quite as frozen as one might expect. She won't have long to realize this, because after a few seconds, he'll make it quite apparent on his own by waking up. It's subtle at first; there's a little movement in the muscles and a soft groan. Then he suddenly snaps awake with a yell.]

BUCKY!

[Unfortunately for Ryn, his first order of waking business is making sure whoever is touching him is disarmed and not a threat. He moves to accomplish this by grabbing at her and using his considerable strength to bring her down to the ground. As he pushes himself up, he grabs at the large round shield that was beneath him and slips it onto his arm, cautiously glancing around at his surroundings.]

I don't know who you are or where I am, but you've made a big mistake, lady.

[Commentlog]

[dontfeartheme]

[Ryn was absolutely not expecting him to suddenly start shouting at her, and it startles her enough that she's easily brought down to the ground.

Not that she doesn't struggle, of course, but it's rather hard to get free when a suspiciously strong man is bringing you down. She settles for cursing profusely in Irish Gaelic.]

Oh, I'm absolutely seeing that. This is the last bloody time I try to help someone who I find unconscious on the ground. Congratulations, you've damn well ruined it for any future unconscious men I come running across.

[Commentlog]

[spidersongs]

[Do you like spiders, Ryn?

We hope that you do, because there's a six-foot-tall spider girl walking our way. She looks a little like a centaur might, half-spider half-girl, but her skin is black and plated. She's got seven light blue eyes, a wide mouth, no nose, and long black hair.

And she's coming your way.]

[Commentlog]

[dontfeartheme]

[The last spider Ryn saw around here wasn't nearly this fucking huge. And also wasn't half human.

Still, she's not particularly alarmed, because someone looking like this wouldn't be entirely out of the ordinary on her world. She does raise an eyebrow, though.]

You're not looking to be putting up mistletoe, are you? Because you're a little damn late for the holiday.

[Commentlog]

[spidersongs]

[She cocks her head to the side and blinks, then shakes her head.]

Certainly not! I've much better things to do with toes than hang them around as decorations. In fact, I'm sure we've all much better things to do with toes, even those of us without them.

[Commentlog]

[dontfeartheme]

[Ryn frowns for a moment, brow furrowed, then shakes her head with a snort.]

Not that I'm in disagreement with you there, but I wasn't talking about actual toes. Mistletoe. It's a plant, hung for decoration around the holidays.

[notpredictable]

Miss Ryn.

It seems we shall be...pitted against one another in the upcoming battle.

[dontfeartheme]

[There's a moment's pause, because she knows, and she's not thrilled with the idea.]

Yes, well, I've never been much of a fan of following bloody rules that tell me who it is I should be working against.

[That's a complete, bold-faced lie. She's a history of allowing herself to be pitted against others merely because of the rules of her gang, and she's got no issue with going up against many of the people on her arbitrarily chosen opposing team.

But not him.]

[notpredictable]

[He's seeing through that lie, Ryn -- but he isn't going to call you on it.]

Yes, well -- I've never been much of a rule follower myself.

[personify_darkness]

A healer, huh? Guess that's gotta be useful.

Which team are you on?

[A snort.] And if I was kidnapped, care to lead me to my kidnapper? I'd like to take care of him sooner, rather than later.

[dontfeartheme]

It does come in handy.

That'd be the blue team. You in the mind to participate?

[She snorts back.]

If I knew where the hell to be finding him, he would've been taken care of a hell of a lot sooner.

[personify_darkness]

[A smirk.]

Hell, yeah. I'll be on the blue team, then. Seems everything's pointing me in that direction.

[Meaning the two women he's talked to so far are on the blue team.]

Really, now? Huh.

[Either she was all talk, or she'd be good to have on his team. Either way, he was looking forward to finding out.]

[protectedbya]

Are you an 'angel' by chance?

[dontfeartheme]

[There's an amused, slightly startled chuckle.]

Not the last time I looked, no. Unless that wasn't a genuine question, but an attempt at a pick up line.

[protectedbya]

It was a genuine question. I'm sorry to have disturbed you then.
