[OPEN]

When| Week 3, after Felicity's attack and death
Warnings/Notes| Blood, violence, etc.; PM me if your character is planning on stealing from/attacking Marius so we can sort something out? :3


Marius blinked rapidly, trying to keep out of his eyes the warm, bright-red blood that oozed from the long and deep incision close to his brows. He was still panting heavily from the sudden encounter with the distraught mademoiselle, his sweat and tears mixing with the blood that trickled down his face and the bridge of his nose.

He watched her die. The thought caused him to choke. He slapped a hand over his mouth and let out a helpless whine, leaning against the cold metal of the elevator. He could not save his friends at the barricades in Paris and he could not save Cosette from Eva's poisoned blade and he could not save this woman, who was bleeding and weak and hysterical and in need of comfort and assistance. Was this the grand fate that the Moirae weaved for him? To simply watch incapably by as sword of Thanatos struck down everyone around him?

No, cease your thoughts on it.

In his other arm, he clutched the bundle of food from sponsors and the crowbar tighter against his chest. He knew he should return to their hide-away in the fourth floor, but he was afraid that if the body of the unknown mademoiselle was still there, he would fall into a sickness he could not recover from. Besides, he had to search for food; the camp was running low on it, and he could not allow them to starve to death.

He recalled that the first floor had a cafe. His attempt to explore may not yield fruit, in retrospect, but it had become something he needed to do. It was a distraction.

The chime signifying his arrival on said floor sounded like thunder in his ears in the silence of the steel box, and he wiped the blood off his brow with his arm, wincing only slightly; the shock from the attack and the death of the woman took over his senses far more than the pain from the knife wound. He shifted his crowbar to his free hand and stumbled out of the elevator: a man with vision blocked every so often by the sticky liquid from his head wound, dizzy and highly distraught, clutching a bag of food against his chest like a lifeline.

Signless had flattened himself against the wall at the sound of the chime -- there wasn't really a lot of places to hide on this floor, unfortunately. Once he saw who it was, however, and what state they were in, he forgot all about hiding.

"Marius, what happened to you?"

Well. It was obvious he'd been attacked, but, you know, principle of the thing.

Christopher, who had apparently been admiring the architecture, turns at the chime towards a boy in a great deal of distress. Without caution or consideration, he approaches the boy, smiling a mouth full of shark teeth. "Hello. I'm sorry, but I don't have my handkerchief on me. Would you like my sleeve?" He holds up an arm so Marius can see his blood-red pajama sleeve. "It's the right colour."

Pruna was waiting. The elevators were dangerous, entering one could mean someone else entered, someone who could kill you and there was no where to hide in the small boxes. Leaving one meant someone could be close and the sound let them know you had arrived.

But she had realised quickly that went both ways, she could lie in wait, and attack someone leaving the elevator, see what they had. Steal any sponsor gifts inside it.

So she had been hidden just out of sight and she grinned as she saw the man who stumbled out. The man who had spilled wine on her once, the one whose wedding she had been to. He wasn't very clever she thought, and though she remained wary she figured he would be a good one to get. She turned to grin at Sandy, a watch me grin and then jumped, leg kicking out to try and sweep his legs out beneath him, knife aimed at his shoulder.

Christopher chuckles warmly. "There is no need to be, friend, but I appreciate your thoughtfulness. It's so nice to meet someone so mannered. Shall we go to the drinking fountains now? It's best to start by washing the injury."

It's not that Venus hasn't had opportunity to see Marius, but to an extent she's been avoiding him on her trips to the Frenchmen's camp. She has an established rapport with Joly and Courfeyrac, and what she's seen of Marius doesn't exactly fill her with enthusiasm. And she's fairly certain he would want to protect Cosette from looking at her, given that her mutilated face makes her quite the upsetting visage.

Still, she knows his face, and she hasn't heard his name over the intercoms. She isn't shocked when she sees him. She is shocked to see the state he's in.

"Marius?" She limps over to him, holding her hands out to catch him if he trips and falls (not a possibility she'd discount, given the blood coming from his head and, well, the fact that he's Marius).

"I'm a friend. Enjolras' date to the wedding, do you remember?"

"It shall be my pleasure—no, it will be my delight! The presence of a friend in dark circumstances is illumination of the soul in shadowed cells. Thank you for the sun you have brought into my world of neon lighting." Christopher spins on his heels, apparently unconcerned about walking with his back to Marius, and strides forward through the floor to seek out the nearest fountain. Casual though he strides, he is alert—not to the threat that Marius might pose, but to the threat that others might pose to Marius. Christopher has, after all, decided just now that he wants to look after Marius at the moment. So he shall.

When he reaches the fountain, he pushes the button so that the water comes out. "Truly, I admire humanity's dedication to making their own geysers. Mimicking nature through unnatural means is just so much fun."

There was nothing for it but to immediately go into comfort mode.

"Shhh," Signless murmured, setting down his bag and putting both hands bracingly on Marius's shoulders. "Shh. You're okay. You're alive. Though..."

He looked up at Marius's forehead, and frowned.

"You should sit down, and we should clean that up. I have a first aid kit."

She catches him, though her own injuries mean that taking his weight sends a shot of pain so harsh as to numb the flesh in its wake down her legs. She barely gets a chance to look over his shoulder to confirm the elevator is empty.

"I got you." She pats his chest. "Let's get to shelter and we can stop you bleeding."

And maybe get some information on how that injury happened. Her eyes trail down to the crowbar, and she makes a note to grab that. She doesn't want someone else to grab it and use it on them.

"Of course!" The exclamation gives no regard for any disorientation. Christopher glances over Marius, and then says, "Sit, won't you? If you don't, I might get dizzy and fall to the floor."

To demonstrate this, Christopher wobbles and, indeed, collapses. Of course, he makes certain he sets up that fall so that he doesn't hurt anything, but the melodramatics are what matter.

The crowbar hit her side and she yelped, but quickly turned the yelp into a growl as she dived forwards again, aiming a slash towards his side. This time doing her best to avoid the crowbar, now that she knew he would use it.

Pruna grinned as she hit again, she was unsure about why he had stopped but it had been stupid of him. She saw the cans and scurried to grab them, rolling them towards where Sandy was, not taking her eyes off him.

"Be giving me the rest or I will be stabbing you again."

Sandy appeared from her hiding place to scoop up the loot so far. She had been ready to bolt for them if the duo had kept struggling but thankfully this guy was already throwing up a surrender. Good!

Maybe then Pruna wouldn't have to end him.

A small hand grabbed Marius' to spot him from handing over the bag. Max glared at Pruna and Sandy, her large knife in hand and ready to be used.

"Take what you have and leave. I will be killing you...both." She spoke with the same inflections as the other killer as though her words would be better understood. Yes, the girls had been nice enough, but Max had grown fond of the little camp and she would not see them hurt if she could help it.

Pruna scowled as she saw X5-452, turning her knife towards her. She was the larger risk here, by a long way. Pruna thought even Sandy would be able to deal with Marius if he got violent, and she had a mask just in case.

"You be staying out of this, it do no be nothing to be doing with you."
