Torpid Void

Louis
He hadn't really noticed Fay leave, but noticed when she came back. "I'm feeling like a weird energy thing - I don't know how to describe it - from Harper. Do you? I think it might have to do with her headache." Louis asked quietly, so that Harper couldn't hear.

Fayre
Fay nodded. "Yeah, but I don't know what to do for it, or how to help it."

Mason
 Within a mere moment, the flash of her violet eyes gave away exactly who the stranger was. The realization took long enough for him to comprehend to allow her to exit the room uninterrupted; her words took even longer to set in. Mason finally blinked, realizing that he'd just been staring at empty space for a few minutes, his mouth hanging slightly open. He closed it, gazing blearily down at the floor, painfully positioning his elbows on his knees so he could rest his forehead in his hands. "They're all dead," he croaked out somewhat redundantly after a few moments of thinking about everything and nothing at once, shaking his head slightly. "Hm. They always do that."

Louis
"Well, great. I was hoping you'd know more than I do." He ran a hand through his hair and glanced at Harper. "I'm going to get a drink." Louis retreated to the kitchen and realized he'd set his glass down... somewhere. Whatever, he'd just get a new one. He pulled out another cup and filled it with water. For a moment he just studied the clear liquid swirling around before taking a sip. This isn't going well. 

Fayre
Fay glanced at the floor and thought about the situation.

Alice
"Only the good ones." Alice grumbled to Mason, pressing her head back against the wall with a sigh. "Rest of us get left here in this godforsaken limbo."

Kaylee
It was the pain that woke her up, racking through her body as she tenderly stretched out her limbs, stiff from her position curled up in the shadow of a dumpster. She let out a pathetically small whimper, about to start the long and pain filled process of hauling herself to her feet when an unfamiliar shadow was cast over her. She glanced up into the cold eyes of an official, and even before he roughly grabbed and twisted her arm, she knew she was done for. "You'll do." Kaylee wailed as she was carelessly dragged from her hiding spot and over the concrete, stumbling to her feet in order to keep her once again bloody knees from taking any more damage as the man strode purposely through the city, and when he scaled a set of stairs all Kaylee could do was let herself be hauled along. She was dropped on the hard flood of what could have been a studio once, and she cradled her now throbbing arm as she glared fearfully up at the towering man. "W-what-" She croaked, taking a moment to clear her throat. "What do you want?"

Mason
 "Ain't that the truth," he muttered bitterly, lifting his head and resting it against the top of the couch, staring up at the ceiling miserably. "I can hardly feel the pain of my body screaming at me anymore. I mean, I can, and it feels like all my ribs are on fire, but it's starting to dull down a bit. Does that mean I'm dying?," he asked, not really sure if he expected Alice to answer or not.

Louis
He added more water to his glass, though he probably should have stopped drinking water a while ago. At this point he was just doing it because he lacked anything else to do to occupy his mind while trying not to panic. Louis paused and set the drink down after coming to that conclusion. After locating some ice, he wrapped it in a towel. No medications here. He'd have to go to town and ask around to see if they had any treatments at all, maybe herbs or something. He scooped up the towel and walked into the sitting room, tossing the ball of ice over to the couch where Mason was at. "That might help. I've heard that you're supposed to take deep breaths and avoid wrapping them tightly with anything. Do you think you punctured a lung?" His only experience with broken ribs was that one time when he'd broken one of his own falling out of a tree at camp and Marlowe had helped him with it while they waited for one of the Apollo kids.

Alice
"If you are, congrats." She drawled, stretching her legs out along the floor, carelessly wiping the blood from her hands onto her pants - okay, so maybe jumping through a window wasn't her smartest move.

Kaylee
The man gave a shark like grin that made Kaylee's blood run cold, shrugging like it was obvious. "Well, first, I know some people who would pay a lot for a pretty little girl such as yourself. Let's start there." She was quiet for a moment, her already throbbing brain trying to comprehend what he was saying, before she shuddered, scrambling back from him. "You wouldn't."

Mason
 He instinctively jumped to the side, narrowly avoiding getting hit by the towel full of ice. "What the hell was that for? I probably would've died if I hadn't moved," he snapped, steadily glaring at Louis despite the large amount of pain he was in from moving so fast. Well, okay, I can feel pain again. That's good. He chuckled mentally. Never thought I'd say that.

Louis
Louis blinked, glancing at the towel briefly before shrugging. "I wasn't trying to hit you." My aim's not usually off like that. Odd. He grabbed his cup and filled it to the top again, even though it still had some water in it, taking a sip. This was becoming a problem. How much water could a person drink in an hour before getting sick? 

Alice
"Getting slow in your old age, are you Mase?" Alice snickered, scraping dirt, glass and oddly enough, bark from under her nails. "Coulda just caught it."

Kaylee
"The cheques I have lined up for my next find say I would, darling." The pet name sounded bitter and degrading coming from his mouth as he stalked towards her until her back hit the door and she had nowhere left to run as he grabbed her shoulder roughly, dragging her into a small room to their left and cuffing her with practised ease, the shackles heavy on her arms and neck. She heard him leave, locking the door behind him, and she glanced up at a little shuffling noise, spying a shivering shadow in the barely light of the room. "Hello?" She whispered coarsely, leaning as far forward as her bindings would let her. "It's okay, I won't hurt you."

Aerow
Aerow shimmered into existence next to the counter, leaning against it and glaring at Louis. "You do realize that you only have so much water to live with for a week, right? And you're using a lot of it." She figured Fayre had said something to him already, and she was confused as to why he wouldn't have paid attention to her. Obviously the thought hadn't come to mind that he just simply didn't know.

Louis
Louis shrugged and took another sip from his glass. "News to me." He glanced at the water briefly, figuring this should probably be his last cup. Probably should take his time with it. 

Aerow
Aerow sighed quietly, glancing at the wall. "Okay, then. You don't get a whole lot of water during the week, and you won't get new water until next week. And if you happen to run out of water, which you will-" Aerow looked back at him with slight distaste, "-you won't find any luck getting some from other people. So, y'know. Die of thirst or something."
