Everything is Not Okay [Action/Video | Closed]
Who: Colette, Kay, and Cassian Andor
Where: Attleton
When: Halloween Event 2017
What: Colette's biggest fears come to life
Warning: Contains mentions of blood, death, and physical abuse
[Colette feels a little silly going out in public dressed as a cat but it was what Fayren had granted her today and she learned day one it was futile to fight it. Besides, she hadn’t been over to the SoCaKa house in a while and she had picked up some stuff for their zoo she wanted to drop off. And who knew what tomorrow would bring? So she makes her way to Attleton, a blush on her cheeks as she appears in the city. She makes it about ten steps before something catches her eye and she freezes.
She stares horrified at the mangled corpse to the right of her. That man… he was a shopkeeper in Luin. That can’t be right. The crack of a whip has her head whirling around and she nearly throws up when she sees a desian whipping an elderly woman while another masked man laughs cruelly. Her eyes widen. This can’t be real. They had stopped the desians and Cruxis and all of it. They had reunited the worlds. This couldn’t be real.
And yet it’s right there.
She takes two steps forward, readying her chakrams and pulling out her wings, prepared to go stop them from harming anyone else, stop them from making Genessia another ranch when she hears a faint croak of her name. She lights up and spins around; Lloyd’s here. Together they can stop-
The brown-haired man with impeccable fashion taste is lying on his side, a pool of blood spreading out around him. His head, which was raised ever so slightly goes limp and his eyes close. Her face pales and she rushes to his side, dropping to her knees shaking and frantic.]
Lloyd? Lloyd, wake up. Please wake up! [She’s a mess of tears now and she drops her phone into the blood in her shaky attempt to call Cassian and Kay while her other hand applies pressure to the large gash across his chest. She picks it up, the camera tinged crimson now, and calls them both, clearly hysteric.]
Please you have to help him!

Colette! Where are you? How badly are you wounded?
[ His voice is sharp with urgency, the blood smears on the lens that color the video of her tear-stained face crimson only adding to Cassian's sense of alarm. He can't see her bleeding, but that's blood on the lens and that's enough for him. ]
Wait, I think I recognize that house behind you, still by the archway, right? I'm on my way. Calling an ambulance, too.
[ Although that might take a while, in Attleton's current state. Their best hope is they can deal themselves with whatever has happened, grim as that prospect is. ]

It's not me, it's Lloyd! He's lost a lot of blood and I...
[She looks over at the camera, very much a wreck, and her voice is barely a whisper.]
What if he doesn't make it?
[Lloyd must have only just got here, he can't leave her now!]
no subject
Okay, okay, stay exactly where you are and do what you can to still the blood flow. I'm on my way and so is an ambulance.
[ There's a chance this is another illusion, he's aware of that, but as Guardian he's got to treat it as a real call for help. Better one too many than to let someone die on his watch. ]
Just stay calm, alright? I'm nearly there. [ There's a moment of silence, before he speaks up again, voice carefully devoid of emotions. ] You'll know I'm getting there when soldiers in white start patrolling.
no subject
She brings her attention back to Cassian, in desperate need to focus on anything that isn’t her best friend bleeding out on her.
Wait did he just say that he was bringing soldiers?]
Good; there are Desians here and they’re hurting people. They need to be stopped. I was going to but I- [she looks down at Lloyd and swallows.] Your soldiers can stop them.
