004 ☾it wasn't me
[PUBLIC -- (accidental) video]
[The Network is treated to an awkwardly-angled view of Liam's face, staring up his nose because this is a great way to address the masses. He looks worried, edging towards anxious, but determined to keep his cool about it anyway.]
I didn't do it.
[PACK FILTER]
[The angle's better now, although Liam seems no less uneasy about things for the change.]
Uh, so I found Kira? If anyone was...looking for her.
[He tilts the camera to show her, slumped on the floor but propped up against the piano stool. Like that helps. It doesn't make her look any less unconscious for sitting up.]
[SPAM -- Music Room]
[He's not sure what he's looking at, initially.
He'd been passing by, on his way somewhere else, when he catches the form out of the corner of his eye, as well as Kira's scent. Nothing to make that big a deal about on its own, but he moves closer and she's lying on the floor. Maybe she could just be on the floor, maybe she's just resting or something, but when he gets there, it's obvious something's wrong.
He addresses her, calls her name once or twice, but she doesn't move. He crouches down to shake her shoulder, and she still doesn't move. Shit. She's a kitsune, she's not supposed to be just...lying there.]

[He rises to his feet from where he's sitting in the library, closes the book he'd been reading and heads for the door.]
We'll need to move her to her room.
Pack Filter
[It's like the Berserker all over again, except at least there's no monster this time that might kill her before she can wake up. He runs a hand over the back of his head, ruffling his hair a little in the process, and lets out a breath.]
Right. Okay. I can do that.
Maybe she'll wake up. Maybe it's not...you know.
[Maybe it's not a coma, maybe it's just...some other reason. Something that won't keep her out for who knows how long.]
Re: Pack Filter
Yeah, maybe.
[He nods, heading toward their location.]
We'll get her moved and we'll figure it out.

[His head jerks down towards the sound, at which point he realizes Oh it's on.
Have a teenage boy looking pretty defensive now.]
Nothing. One of my friends is unconscious.

[Probably. But if he says it's not, maybe it won't be?]

We're all going. One by one.

[If it's not a coma, that's even worse, as far as Tiffany is concerned. That would mean they don't know what it is, what caused it, or how to get rid of it.]

[Maybe. He hopes.]

The door to the music room is wide open on his way into his own room, and that's when he spots Liam and Kira there, can feel the anxiety building up there in a way that irritates him rather than making him nervous.
He stops in the doorway.]
What happened?
no subject
I don't...I don't know. I was just walking by and she was on the floor.
no subject
The X5 changes course, moving further into the room, eyes scanning for any signs of disturbance as he moves to crouch beside Kira, reaching to find her pulse.]
Kira? Kira, can you hear me?

I found her like that, okay?

Sexy reasons?
no subject
[He's absolutely not embarrassed or turning red. Nope nope nope it is a figment of your imagination.]
No. She's just unconscious, okay? It doesn't have anything to do with that.
no subject
The, uh. The biting thing. Not the other thing.
Seriously though I hope she's okay.
No midnight snacks.
no subject
[Not like he's got any basis for comparison. Or "normal". And he continues to look embarrassed, this is the last thing he wants to discuss with a complete stranger.]
...I think she's just in a coma.
[Ha ha "just".]
no subject
Not that there's anything wrong with that. I mean, I'm gay.
We just have like a whole clan of biters on the Barge and I was wondering if you were, y'know. A subset genre.
...Holy fuck, supernatural fiction is really fucking gay.
no subject
What's being gay got to do with anything?
What are you even talking about.
no subject
I think being a werewolf makes you more homosexually inclined, though.

What about that girl on the floor there?
[pack filter]
Okay, two important things:
One: don't listen to Chris. He's a nice guy, but he can come off weird.
And two: is she hurt?
[pack filter]
I don't think so? She seems okay, she's just out cold.
[pack filter]
[pack filter]
There aren't usually this many people having them, are there.
[pack filter]
No, not usually. But I've seen it happen to multiple people at the same time before.
[pack filter]
If it's happening more often that has to mean something, right?
[Maybe? Because it can't just be random. They can't just all be dropping for no reason.]
[pack filter]
Not necessarily. As frustrating as it can be [and trust her, it is incredibly frustrating] some things happen for absolutely no reason here. It could feel that way because this time, it happened to a lot of pack members.
[pack filter]
Yeah, I guess.
[pack filter]
She'll be okay, Liam. Just like Scott.
[Pack Filter]
She won't wake up? [He says it like he already knows the answer.]
[Pack Filter]
[Like it's something to apologize for, like he had any involvement in it. He knows it's ridiculous to apologize, but what else can he do?]
[Pack Filter]
I can come help you move her. [It's not that he thinks Liam needs help, but he wants to see her himself.]
