asgardeventide | Joint Video

[The video transmission for the evening will be entirely different, yet what was to be expected due to the recent events currently plaguing the city. The very first thing many will notice by the video is the appearance of the Gentlemen with a few of their minions by their side. Even though they were currently wearing a smile, as they usually are, there was an unusual scene about to take place -- it was very unusual and unnerving. The Gentlemen were currently moving away from the owner of the bracelet as they held their heads, attempting to cover their ears. They will shake for a mere moment before the unthinkable happens (at least, to those not part of the world where they came from) -- one by one their heads begin to explode.

The explosion will be seen until the owner of the video decides to move or try to move away from the blast as best as he could; which was not much or at all. Whatever had happened, there was one clear point to notice -- the Gentlemen were now gone. The only sounds left that will be heard is heavy breathing being heard in the background as the owner attempts to move his bracelet hand, but has great difficulty doing so. It will be an agonizing few minutes until the scene changes from the headless figures in suits surrounded by their own green blood, the green liquid on the floor, and the owner of the bracelet who wears a small smile on his face.

Pain was easy to notice on his facial features, but there was a peaceful smile on his lips as he words the following: “They’re...no more…” He would add more, but it was clear that he was struggling to keep the smile on his lips so his attention will turn to the ceiling while the image will turn to the door of apartment instead. It would seem he was not expecting to be found and like the rest of the victims he will die in peace.]

[Except there’s a swish of a long skirt in view as the TARDIS moves through the green and red goo to Soushi’s side. She kneels down next to him, not even hesitating to place her hands over his injury in an attempt to stop the bleeding. It doesn’t take her long to notice that the bracelet is recording.]

The creatures are dead and RSSSA is in need of medical assistance. Freya House, room 306. Come quickly.

[The TARDIS won’t let him die. Won’t let anyone else die while she stands over them watching. There’s an advantage to finally having a voice and she’s going to use it. She doesn’t bother turning off the bracelet and leans over Soushi.]

You can be as stupid as the Doctors, RSSSA. Did you think no one would come, that no one would notice?

[And that is how the video feed ends.]

[Truth be told, he was expecting exactly as the Lady in Blue have stated. He did believe wholeheartedly that he would perish before anyone would realize his situation or that he would die alone like the rest of the other victims. After all, it was only fair that he would share their fate. They could not escape death. Why should he? It was only fair that he would die without anyone feeling upset over him as he was entirely alone in Asgard.

But when the Tardis arrived to his side, it took him some time to fully realize that someone was actually there, that he was not imagining it. The realization came when she had pressed her hand onto his almost opened injury which will leave him offering a slight grunt of pain. At that point is when he will realize that he could hear sounds again. The spell over the city was now gone. He could hear his voice and the Tardis's voice.

Speaking of the Tardis, he will realize the closeness which will have him blink for a moment. She looks worried, was all he could think to himself. Why was she so worried over him? He wishes he could ask her, but all he could do was offer a choked.]

Why...? [Why are you so worried over him? Why are you in his room? He did not entirely understand the reason as he would never have imagined that someone -- especially her -- would be by his side in the worse situation imaginable. He couldn't allow her to see him die. How could he.]

Don't talk, idiot. [The words are said firmly but softly.]

[From that single word she can understand so much of what he wants to ask. It's what everyone asks when the Doctor does something they can't understand.]

Why shouldn't I? I've lived so long - seen so many die and been able to do nothing to save them. People I didn't even know but the pain of it isn't lessened just because of that.

If I let you die, how would that feel? I like you, RSSSA. Which means if I can prevent your death, I will.

[Her words will leave him stun as he did not expect to hear any of it. He knew she has been alive for a long time. That she was alive and trapped in the form of a box that could simply travel through time, and most likely could not speak. The Doctor with the beautiful coat and the other Doctor did speak over her being kind and stubborn, and now he can see it. For a sentinel ship, she held kinder and more genuine emotions as a human could ever possess -- or ones he can never possess.

Yet a piece of him will begin to feel guilty over the thought of allowing her to look after him, but he did not have the heart to stop her. It must be difficult, was all he could ponder in his thoughts as he allowed her words to really hit him. If he could sigh, he would, but decided to close his eyes instead.

A nod of his head will be offered as he decides to allow it. He will open his eyes and literally pout at her. Tardis-san, why are you so difficult to say "no" to. You win. Too bad he did not have a small board close by to speak those words to.]

[ He's sending the text as he's rushing out the door. Hopefully others show up, maybe someone with magic, but if he gets there first he'll do everything he can. ]

I'm on my way.

[She doesn't respond in the same manner because her hands are busy.]

We aren't going anywhere.

[ There's no answer at all from his side, because he's busy running. He ought to get some other form of transport, a bike or something. Or just do more running, because it's more tiring than it has any right to be.

But he's there about ten minutes later, rather than the fifteen or twenty it would take if he walked. He doesn't bother knocking either, of course, and quickly moves to Soushi's other side. ]

[The scene is just as it was in the video, with green goo from the Gentlemen everywhere mixing with Soushi's red blood. While the TARDIS is kneeling over the boy with her hands pressed into the wound to stop him from bleeding out.]

[She only looks up when the other person is there on his other side.]

What do I do? [She's not a doctor, she barely knows first aid. But she can follow instructions.]

[Soushi will take notice of the other man by his side, but he was having difficulty keeping his eyes fully open. He was still awake and fighting to remain as such. His chest no longer feels pain, but he did feel wet and cold as he was aware of his wound. Thanks to the Tardis and her hand keeping his wound closed, he is not losing as much blood as before.

He would say something to the other man, but instead offer a slight nod while offering a weak smile as a way to tell him he was still conscious and knew of his appearance even if he did not recognize him.]

[ Soushi only gets a look in response for the nod before John leans down to place his hand beside the TARDIS's. ]

First, let me see.

[Hesitantly, but trustingly the TARDIS pulls her hands away from the wound so that John can see it.]

[Biting onto his lower lip, he will try not to complain over the loss of warmth as the Tardis removed her hand from his injury or how his injury began to throb again, reminding him that he was indeed injured.

The Gentlemen were not kind enough to remove his shirt before trying to operate on him. Then again, he never did offer them the chance to as he did struggle and fight before they had the upper hand over him. Underneath the blood and crushed piece of skin on it, his injury was open, but it was not as deep as the other victims. No, his wound almost seem incomplete as they could not finish opening his chest.

Soushi will look away as he wonders if any of his ribs or if the scalpel from before had reach his lung or harmed a rib. Who knows, but maybe it was fractured as he did feel pain in his chest whenever he took a deep breath, spoke, or tried to move as he did before in the video. At the moment, he was trying to breath as slowly as he could and trying to hold it for as long as he can while trying to keep calm for the other doctor to check on him. A piece of him felt some fear over the possibility of failing to remain alive. His gaze will turn to the Tardis for a moment before deciding to hold onto something, anything with his free hand.]

Okay.

[ He reaches for his kit. ]

I'm going to fix it up a bit. Hold him, please; it'll probably hurt, and he shouldn't move too much.

Alright.

[There's no sense of hesitancy in her voice as she shifts to sit by Soushi's head. With his shirt already ruined the TARDIS has no issue putting her bloodied hands down on his shoulders.]

[Soushi will simply continue to breath in and out as easily as he can while preparing for the worst. There was nothing much he can do other than try to keep himself awake and still now. He will mouth a "go ahead" as he shuts his eyes tightly.]

[ John doesn't hesitate to snap on a pair of gloves and get to work. The ribs aren't badly fractured, but he does need to nudge one back into a better place. The lung's intact enough and all he has to do after that is clear up all the tearing those... things did. Nasty work, but it's not as though they'd care. They only needed the heart, after all.

Once the wound is cleaned from anything that shouldn't be there, he takes the gloves off and grabs bandages. ]

Sit him up, carefully.
