Death//Third Sound of her Wings//Video

[Didi has looked better. The feed clicks on to her crouched on the ground, clutching at her collar. Her breathing is labored, and her eyes are screwed shut. It looks like there's something underneath her collar, cutting her, and red blood is running down her neck and chest, just getting worse as she struggles

A good majority of people know about the experiment - don't think you're hurting anyone by staying alive.

[He doesn't know her, but he's starting to get tired of the resistance. If everyone's caught on, it should be fine in the first place.]

[faultlesscon]

It's going to sting, but it should help in the long run. [Alex sees that but he's not going to try and read into it--just going to clean the dried blood at first before dabbing at the actual wound. He pauses in his actions to sit back, stare.]

I... You're serious?

[dyingwings]

[She looks down at him through the corner of the eye]

So the slight increase in pain is a positive thing? I wasn't sure.

[She starts to nod, but winces, and stops]

Mmhmm. I can't really prove it until you die here, but there it is.

[faultlesscon]

Mm, just a bit--gets better after the stinging's done. [He's quiet at the second part but he merely nods, opting to believe her as there's no reason as to why she would lie to him in the first place.]

Sounds fair. Ah... I'm Alex. [Once he's done cleaning the blood, he directs her to look at him so he can wrap the bandages around the wounds while avoiding the collar as best he can.]

[dyingwings]

Sounds good. I can be patient.

[A hint of a smile. Maybe that was a joke, maybe not. She's not telling.]

Good to meet you, Alex. I'm sorry, I didn't mean to scare you. it's just... not really a good way to tell people that, in this place. or, if there is, I haven't found one yet.

[faultlesscon]

Not sure if there's a choice there. [Shaking his head, he finishes wrapping the wounds and pulls back, sitting firmly on the couch.]

It's fine--I... died about two weeks ago so it's just.. it's odd. Is that the right word for it?

[dyingwings]

I guess I could be telling you to hurry up, but that wouldn't exactly be polite, would it?

That's a word for it. I wasn't here two weeks ago, so I suppose I wouldn't know, but if I had been, I certainly would have come to do my part.

And I will be. From now on. [Her face looks dead set. She doesn't care if she can't collect souls here, can't help them along, she'll do whatever she damn well could for these people.]

[faultlesscon]

It's not even work--it's the medicine. [A faint hint of a smile.]

You would have been a polite host, then. And you are going to be, if that's the case. [A nod and he just about finishes, checks his work.] Those should be changed regularly - when you take the bandages off, do it slowly so you don't break the wound again.
