[ All evidence would suggest that Katherine Pierce had been laying low since her arrival in Asgard. Not kicking up a fuss was the best way to get her bearings and figure out who actually mattered in this city. Even more importantly, she had to know what made those people tick. Luckily for Katherine, she didn’t need to have her powers of compulsion to manipulate people to do her bidding. Arriving in Asgard was an inconvenience, but she didn’t need it to be a lifestyle change, too.

Sucking gray people dry wasn’t as satisfying as real, red, human blood, but it had done the trick for the time being.

Wiping a gray dribble of blood from her mouth, Katherine let the now lifeless body of an Asgard native fall to the pavement with a distinctive thud. The sound of a footsteps caught her attention and she whirled around, fangs still bared. ]

… Stefan?

[ Something wasn’t right, but even back home, Stefan hadn’t been himself back home either lately. She wasn’t going to let it shake her. She’d watched him from afar in the 20s, seen exactly what ‘the Ripper’ could do. ]

So they dragged you here, too? [ She twirled her hair, a smirk on her face. ] That’s too bad. I know how busy you were back hom--

[ He was faster than her, with her superhuman speed stripped, and she barely sees the flash of the knife as the blade enters her stomach. Letting out an audible cry, she reached for his arm to grab as she doubled over, but he was already gone. ]

[ Hissed through her teeth: ] Stefan!

[ The blood pooled around the knife, and she gripped the handle. Her practically automatic healing was gone. This was an injury that wouldn’t just disappear, pain that wouldn’t fade in an instant.

Being almost human had never sucked so much. ]

[ Having been at work, Rei was largely ignorant of what had been happening during the day. Even when he was let off, the extent of the situation wasn't made clear to him until he was at home, picking at his bucket of new beyblade parts while flipping through the network.

It's frightening.

So when he hears Katherine's voice stilt peculiarly over the network, Rei immediately falls under the conclusion that she's one of the victims. ]

Hello? Hey, can you hear me? Is everything all right?

[ In her confusion following the stab, Katherine doesn't answer the disembodied voice right away. She hisses, steadying herself by leaning against a building. Once she's stable, she glances down at her bracelet.

Great, some kid is worried about her. She keeps her feed to audio for now, not wanting to reveal the pained scowl on her face. Pain or not, she does her best to sound simply hurt and not agitated. ]

Hello? No... I've been [ a soft grunt ] stabbed.

[ Just as he thought. ]

All right, stay where you are. I'll come help you. Where are you?

[ She would have snarled that she didn't need help, but that was counterproductive to her own goals. So she bit the bullet and replied as kindly as possible. ]

I'm near the Arena.
