Day 271 / Video
[Private to Defense Force]

[Between the rapidly swelling bruises on his face and the leaves stuck in his hair Phanan has the distinct look of a man who has just gotten into a fist fight with a vampire. Most unusual is his right hand; the plastic casing that houses the circuitry is chiped and the synthetic skin near his wrist is torn as if someone inadvertently bit it, which is exactly what happened. The fingers are twitching and spasming wildly, moving in a way that that is distinctly inhuman as the artificial skin crawls across them sickeningly. He's got some pliers and wire spread out on the table before him and he begins making repairs on it while he speaks. First he pops the casing open the removes the powerpack. Rather than going limp the hand freezes, looking very much like a machine that has had its power cut, which of course it is. Once it's powered off he starts rummaging around in it with the pliers, striping the wire and replacing it. It's all done a little awkwardly since he's using his left hand but he seems to know what he's doing.]

So just as a general warning vampire attacks are happening. So code whatever color we use for that one. Purple, maybe? Code purple? We should have more codes. Anyway as far as avoidance maneuvers go I recommend climbing trees. [Which explains the leaves in his hair. He fumbles a little awkwardly since he's using his left hand here and the video switches so that now it is...]

[Private to Chuck]

Want to come stroke my brow and tell me how brave and heroic I?

[Its not the first time he's been hurt; the prosthetics are proof enough of that. The hand looks worse than it is and the bumps and bruises will heal soon enough. He actually grins at her, a reassuring, cocky sort of smirk that says, hey I punched a vampire today!]

That's the one. I'm assuming I was a random target since he's got no reason to go after me personally. Makes me think there might be more victims out there, and based on how surprised he was the I fought back I'm guessing my reaction was sort of an exception.

[Its not related to vampire at all but over the course of the conversation she may notice the new blue band on his organic wrist. He is already mentally preparing himself for this conversation.]

There have been in the past. I'm not sure sure if he paces himself or goes in sprees. [Phrases like "cooling off period" come to mind from Criminology class but how much can be applied to vampires? She eats three times a day, sometimes more.]

Reporting it makes you kind of an exception too. People around here like to stay quiet so more people can be victims. I guess misery loves company.

[She's been looking him over so odds are she's taken in the band, but it hasn't registered yet. Other things on her mind coming first.]

How bad is it?

I'm getting the feeling spree might be pretty accurate for this one. He swooped off pretty quickly after I climbed that tree. People not reporting things like this is probably the reason we have vampires running around in the first place.

[He glances up from tinkering with his wrist.] Not bad. I can get this fixed pretty quickly and there's no serious damage to my remaining organic parts. I'm an amazingly talented doctor, so I can tell.

	Vampires aren't all like him. Even he isn't like him. [Hush. It makes sense if you've been here as long as she has.] Do you want some help with the repairs? Another set of hands? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	wraith_7 2014-05-19 12:26 am UTC (link)
	Well that makes complete an total sense. [Tempting but Chuck is already on her way over to do just that.] I think I can mange. Or I'll accidentally give it super strength. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	He was here once before. He wasn't exactly captain of the welcoming committee, but he seemed like a good enough guy. He helped people when we had some structural damage. Buffy seemed to trust him. And now... [Now he's attacking her people. Maybe she should have ended him already.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	When you say once before you mean he disappeared and came back like this? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2014-05-19 02:43 pm UTC (link)
	That's right. Or at least some version of him did. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	wraith_7 2014-05-19 07:37 pm UTC (link)
	Huh. Well now what do we do? You know I'm always a fan of the guns blazing option. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2014-05-20 11:11 pm UTC (link)
	We don't have many guns, and from what I've been told they wouldn't be that effective, but point taken. [Killing him versus saving him.] We're working on a plan to stuff his soul back inside him. It's supposed to curb these tendencies. [But what about the meantime?] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	wraith_7 2014-05-20 11:24 pm UTC (link)
	How does that work? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2014-05-21 02:20 am UTC (link)
	We still have to figure that out. It's why I wanted the Investigative team to work on looking into souls. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	wraith_7 2014-05-21 02:11 pm UTC (link)
	And if we get his soul back, then what? He's suddenly a friendly fluffy little Ewok? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2014-05-22 04:09 am UTC (link)
	I don't know what his level of fluff will be, but it sounds like he should be more likely to play nice. If not then...we did what we could to protect someone. (Reply to this) (Parent)
