Explodo!
...My Dreamspeaker got 'sploded.
So we're sitting there, having a Midsummer Revel, everyone doing their own things - burying the hatchet with other characters, or grumbling about going in the first place, or in Nina's case, having a serious case of the nerves. She'd dressed up all pretty - casual, but pretty - for this do, partly because she had a 'date' with a hot bath and an equally hot Verbena named JJ. We like JJ. Great character.
And utter fucking sock puppet. JJ, it turns out, was created specifically for this one scene, where they have the Midsummer Revel and JJ, who's been infected with Technocratic bomb-bots, spits out four of the little exploding Techno-Doom things, which burrow into the house's foundations. Then manages to get to the door and tell everybody partying in the garden to run before he blows up, taking the back wall of the house with him one second before the rest of the house goes to bits.
Five Lethal in one fell swoop. Five. From "OMG I'm wearing a fucking skirt", Nina wound up lying in the remains of the buffet table with concussion, cracked ribs, a badly damaged ankle and numerous lacerations from flying glass - windows, bottles, glasses... Such a pity I chose then to have Nina take off her 'armour'.
However, Nina has advantages:
1) Extensive medical training
2) Survival and Crafts skills enough to improvise first aid kit
3) Life and Mind - just enough to resist pain for awhile
4) The Wits required to use all that stuff to its utmost
So Nina starts doing first aid and stitching people up, getting them stable ... then her magic runs out and she keels over for a bit.![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
dodgyhoodoo's character Jericho, a little late for the party, turns up in the middle of what looks like a war zone. He managed to tie himself into the group that Nina's with (her Tradition rep, members of the cabal that's got an eye on her as a new member, that sort of thing) and helped do a bit of first aid, partly under Nina's direction. Then another member of the Barons of Suburbia (the aforementioned cabal) has healed Nina pretty much completely and now here we are, getting off the property, heading towards I-dunno-where with no one telling the guy who just took Nina from Mauled to Bruised or even fully healed that a favoured member of his Tradition is dead. It's a fun scene, and my character got to be heroic and stuff. Yay!
Okay, I'll shut up now.
