Re: breaks this in with trauma (day 78, call)

[rationalizations]

[ hardly anyone ever calls him so he looks and picks up pretty quick actually. ALREADY SOUNDING WORRIED: ]

Vin? What is it-?

[allomantic]

[incredibly pained and a little faint]

I need you at the edge of the forest.

Re: breaks this in with trauma (day 78, call)

[rationalizations]

[ well she can already hear him running ]

I'm coming - which direction from the gate?

Re: breaks this in with trauma (day 78, call)

[allomantic]

[i don't actually know but she gives him the correct direction in the same tone]

[ CLOSING IN AT COMPETITIVE SPRINTER SPEEDS ]

-- Vin!

[ hangs up the phone and straight up just fucking flings it away to the ground. he can pick it back up later ]

[hi she is very obviously missing an arm! it doesn't look like it was cleanly cut off. it looks real gnarly, like it was twisted and torn off.

she's sitting at the base of a tree, but she tries to stand when she sees him.]

Re: cw dismemberment

[rationalizations]

[ good news Vin is helping with his objective after all ]

-- Don't move! Don't move, I'm coming!

[ hurries to her side, pressing his hands to the wound immediately ]

It's going- it's going to take a while.

[ he WILL regrow her entire arm if allowed but it will in fact. take a while. and not be painless. starting up the Flesh And Bone Generator ]

Re: cw dismemberment

[allomantic]

[she looks like she still wants to move but it is a little harder than normal right now so she just nods with a wince and chills against this tree.]

It isn't - safe to do it in the open like, like this.

Re: cw dismemberment

[rationalizations]

[ ugh that's true ]

Are you hurt anywhere else...?

[ his hands are shaking slightly ]

Re: cw dismemberment

[allomantic]

[shaking her head weakly]

No.

Re: cw dismemberment

[rationalizations]

... If anyone comes, we'll move.

Re: cw dismemberment

[allomantic]

...Bad idea.

[she would ordinarily protest more but for some weird reason she is not in the mood to argue too much]

Re: cw dismemberment

[rationalizations]

[ whyever could this be ]

Who did this?

Re: cw dismemberment

[allomantic]

Shadows. Not like Kaz's. I don't know.

Re: cw dismemberment

[rationalizations]

[ well that's infuriating ]

... shadow powers. I'll remember that.

Re: cw dismemberment

[allomantic]

Don't go out in the woods.

Re: cw dismemberment

[rationalizations]

... I won't. Do you think they're still there?

Re: cw dismemberment

[allomantic]

They stayed when I ran.

Re: cw dismemberment

[rationalizations]

The rodents could find them. Maybe.

[ arm maybe down to the elbow now ]

Re: cw dismemberment

[allomantic]

—Don't.

Re: cw dismemberment

[rationalizations]

Not even to know where they are?

Re: cw dismemberment

[allomantic]

It wasn't a person.

[maybe still a tiny bit delirious]

Re: cw dismemberment

[rationalizations]

Someone did this to you. Even if they weren't present.

Re: cw dismemberment

[allomantic]

...I would have done it to them if I could. If I were them, would you want to know who I was?

[there was a coherent thought somewhere in here]

Re: cw dismemberment

[rationalizations]

... Are you asking if I would be upset with you if you hurt someone else? Or saying that it's unfair to be upset with them because they were just following the rules of the scenario?
