250 - Fear Itself Mingle
[ Today is a day where most would be at risk of oversleeping.The dome lies dark like in the dead of night. The sun hasn’t risen today, streetlights casting a dull yellow glow and occasionally flickering out into nothing, only to spark back to life a moment later. There is no electric flicker from the kiosk. The Wardens are still. The wardens are silent.

The dome isn’t silent. There is a rustling of leaves, a snapping of twigs. Claws, scraping against concrete. The inhuman screech of an animal in peril, an animal hunting, an animal hunted. A screech that promises sharp claws and sharper teeth and blood.

The dome isn’t still either. There is something moving, thick as a shadow, tangible as a chill down your spine. Something that doesn’t belong here, something that snuck in when no one was looking. A boogeyman under the bed. A ghost in the closet. A will o’ the wisp, blinking in and out of existence under the flickering streetlights. Whatever it is it’s moving, leaving a trail of cold, dead fear wherever it passes. Something dark. A shadow so pitch black that it blots out the very lights in your heart, dragging your fears out screaming and kicking, reducing even the strongest, toughest man to a blubbering baby.

Perhaps best to stay in bed today, Marina. ]

[The creature moved before Tieria did, and came at him, forcing him to try running backwards. He stumbled, falling back just short of the door, and the creature lunged. He slashed out with the knife, managing to slice at the inside of the raptor's mouth. It pulled back, one of its fangs catching painfully on Tieria's arm. Shaking its head and snarling, it backed off slowly, giving Tieria the chance to scrambled backwards across the ground towards the door.]

	[Lyle was really tempted to yell “idiot” at Tieria, but he didn’t. As the raptor backs off, Lyle grumbles under his breath and then comes running over to help Tieria. Geeze… this guy now has a hole in his arm. They have to get that taken care of] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[He let Lyle help pull him up off the ground in order to get his footing, but pulled free to help get the doors shut again behind them. He moved further into the store once they were locked in, wincing and clutching his arm as he looked around warily. The store was dark, which made it hard to tell if they were alone.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Lyle grumbled at Tieria as he pulled away. At his point, Lyle pulls out his flashlight, waving it around slowly to see if they were alone. Well, as far as he could tell they were. There was no raptor peeking around a display of clothing waiting to eat them] How bad is it? [He says this referring to Tieria’s injury as he headed off to find a bandage] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[The flashlight was welcome at this point. He stared around, then turned to follow Lyle quietly as he tried to catch his breath.]

It hurts.

[He hadn't looked at it, yet. But it was really painful, and it was hurting more as his adrenaline started to wear off. He had been created to fight through pain, but he still felt it when things calmed down.

It was also bleeding, but that went without saying...]

	I’d be more surprised if it didn’t. Geeze. [He headed over to the section where they would have the first aid kit. First things first. He had to take care of the injury. He grabbed one of the kits and turned back to Tieria] We should really get that cleaned up. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	trial_by_veda 2014-01-13 04:19 am UTC (link)
	[For all his bravado earlier, it was wearing off pretty quick in light of recent events. He watched Lyle and then nodded a little as he looked around the immediate area for a place to sit down and work on this properly.] The fitting rooms will have seating. [Even if he sat on the floor and propped his arm up on one of the benches.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	cbsniper_v2 2014-01-13 07:52 pm UTC (link)
	Fine that works. [And he'll head for the fitting rooms. They have to get Tieria's arm taken care of] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	trial_by_veda 2014-01-14 04:29 am UTC (link)
	[Tieria frowned, but followed Lyle all the same. He was quiet, even more so than usual, as he walked, trying to shake that damn feeling of being followed and watched. He kept looking over his shoulder, peering into the darkness, just to make sure they were really alone. It felt like his quantum brainwaves were on overdrive.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	cbsniper_v2 2014-01-14 03:48 pm UTC (link)
	[Lyle had the same feeling. He just couldn't shake it no matter what he did. Periodically, he'd turn and shine the light behind them. Nothing. Finally they reached the fitting room] So how do you want to do this? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Whatever is the easiest.

[They didn't exactly have tables... just the benches inside the rooms themselves. The two of them sitting on the floor and using one of the benches as a table would like be the best they were going to get.

He nodded to the biggest room, and headed in there... though he had this nearly uncontrollable urge to check each one as they went past to make sure there wasn't something waiting for them in there.]

This one?

[He couldn't do this by himself, so making sure Lyle was able to actually work with him on it was kind of important.]

	cbsniper_v2 2014-01-16 03:57 am UTC (link)
	[Lyle followed him over, occasionally flicking the flashlight towards the other dressing rooms. Hopefully there wasn't a raptor in there trying on the latest fashions. That would be worse than anything else] This one works. You sitting with your arm on the bench is probably the best way to do this. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	trial_by_veda 2014-01-16 05:37 am UTC (link)
	[Raptors with fashion sense would probably short circuit Tieria's brain. He nodded at the suggestion and stepped inside. It took a bit, and there was wincing involved, but he did eventually get settled on the floor with his arm on the bench.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	cbsniper_v2 2014-01-17 02:07 am UTC (link)
	[Lyle waited for him to get settled and then knelt down on the floor near where Tieria was sitting. Not necessarily the best option, but it was the easiest given the current circumstances. With that he opens the first aid kit and begins to clean and bandage Tieria's injury] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[He shifted to try and give Lyle some extra room and a better angle as well, and then braced himself for what was coming.

It wasn't bone deep, but it would need stitches, and it was longer than just a hole, almost the length of his forearm. It hurt, but he hadn't really lost movement in the arm. That was a good sign, but he still wasn't going to be able to move it much without potentially upsetting any dressings or stitches later until it was healed.

He kept his head turned away, not because of the blood or anything, but because it hurt like crazy and he was trying not to react openly.]

	cbsniper_v2 2014-01-18 12:46 am UTC (link)
	[Lyle could see how bad the injury was rather easily was making quick work of cleaning and bandaging it. It was the most that he could do at the moment. It wasn't like they could reach the clinic at the moment. It would have to be enough to last for a bit. As he is bandaging it, he looks at Tieira] How's that? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	trial_by_veda 2014-01-19 07:26 am UTC (link)
	It will do for- [OW] ...now... [His voice was tight and a little shaky, but he was managing. He knew it had to be done, but that didn't make it hurt any less.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	cbsniper_v2 2014-01-19 09:27 pm UTC (link)
	Yeah, it's not anything that will take care of it in the long term... but short term it will have to do. [He's trying to be careful at least and not jerk his arm around too much] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	trial_by_veda 2014-01-20 08:11 am UTC (link)
	[He nodded, still cringing, but bearing as well as he could. He didn't want Lyle feeling bad for doing what needed to be done. Not that he didn't appreciate the caution and being careful and gentle.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	cbsniper_v2 2014-01-21 09:59 pm UTC (link)
	[Lyle did his best not to notice the cringing. Even if it hurt, it had to be done. He didn’t feel bad for what he was doing. It was for Tieria’s well-being and even if it hurt, it had to be done] There. That should be good for now. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	trial_by_veda 2014-01-22 05:32 am UTC (link)
	Mm. [He carefully cradled the arm against his chest for a bit as he waited for the pain to finally subside more. After a bit, he finally looked up again.] Thank you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	cbsniper_v2 2014-01-22 11:21 pm UTC (link)
	[Lyle sat down next to him, cleaning off his hands with the antiseptic he’d used to disinfect the wound. Just to be on the safe side even though the bots would probably be through the buildings with all the cleaning supplies they had available tomorrow] No problem. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[He tried to offer Lyle something of a smile, but it came out really weak and small.

He knew he was pretty much done for the night now. At least it was late at this point. He sighed and settled back against the wall behind him. He wondered if they should bother trying to get to the hospital or if they should just stay until morning. Hopefully, whatever was going on would be fixed by then.]

Do you think this will be over by morning?

	[His hands now clean, Lyle leans back against the opposite wall, setting the flashlight between them] If history is any indication, yes, it will. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	trial_by_veda 2014-01-25 05:27 am UTC (link)
	[He nodded, mostly just looking for someone to confirm his feelings about it.] We should probably stay until then. [Just to be safe. He leaned his head back against the wall, letting his eyes close. His arm was throbbing still, making him want to sleep.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
