Day 174

[A delivery!

We'll assume someone let him in: whenever Roy gets back to the apartment, there is a bundle of fancy soaps (think old-fashioned, clean-scented) wrapped in a thick fleece blanket on the kitchen counter, addressed to "Roy Mustang", with a note attached:]


This isn't the most personal of gifts, I'm aware, but I hope it will be of use when we leave Shehui.

My name is Jay. I've been with the coven for several months now, so please do feel free to call on me if you have need of anything, or if you have any questions about this endeavor we've found ourselves on..

[ at the sound of alphonse's voice, riza is already moving. she's not having this conversation with him over...whatever this telepathetic communication was supposed to be. of course she knows exactly where the brigadier general is- 90% of the time she has a very active awareness of his location. just for habit, if nothing else. so it doesn't take her long before she's pulling on her coat and heading off towards his apartment of whatever sorts.

not long before she's standing at the door, knocking once. ]


Sir. [ it's habit more than anything that keeps her standing outside the door, but after a breath she reaches to open it. they're not at home, the rigid system of the military isn't really necessary, but old habits are hard to break.

and they both know he is already aware of why she's here. ]
Pardon the intrusion.

[ riza opens the door and sees roy shrugging on his jacket, a response she's not at all surprised to be, and she lets out a breath of air - stepping inside just until he's finished getting ready. ]

The apartments, in his room. He's waiting for us there.

[ it hurts, deep in her chest, knowing that the boys have been separated. but there's little else they can do about it now. ]

When you're ready.

[ she catches his eyes, holding it for another moment or two before she starts shaking her head. ]

I did a preliminary check, but Alphonse- [ riza pauses, then sighs again. ] Alphonse's voice made it pretty clear.

report #who even knows

Sir.

[ exactly on the hour, and certainly not the first telepathic report she's been checking in to give. the last few hadn't had a lot of information, but for riza the last hour or so had been very informative. ]

I have an update.

Everyone is safe. I just learned some new information.

[ because that's important to start off with. ]

I've spoken to a few of the other of the kidnapped. Geir and Shirley- do you know them?

[ she can feel his frustration, whether or not it's the her familiarity with roy and knowing how he'd be feeling or actually hearing it through the telepathic link, they'll never know. ]

Shirley informed me that she apparently spoke to the monitors about magic from her home world. The monitors and other natives here have been suspicious of us since we arrived, and more suspicious still of anything they think is 'magic'.

[ she hates that word, really. wishes she could have something else to use. ]

Additionally, Geir believes that we've been taken in because he and another 'coven' member Vern blew up a set of bones, which incited an investigation by the monitors.

[ she takes a breath, lets it set in, before she continues. ] Geir mentioned they believed it was just a matter of time before something like this happened.

DAY 3 OF CAPTURE.

From: [personal profile] efface
Sir.

[ just to make sure he's listening. ]

They've started taking some of us in for questioning.
From what I've gathered, it's all related to our powers from Qri.
Some have simply been asked questions, others asking for simple tests of magical ability.


[ and that's where she starts. ]

DAY 3 cont.

efface: (bm6FR)
From: [personal profile] efface
[ this will be sent later in the day, possibly into evening, a few hours at the very least.

the message will be short, and a little more quiet than before. ]


Sir.

I can confirm it's related to our powers.
They are attempting research on the extent and the source.


[ and that's all she'll say. ]

[ she was okay, when she first returned. jade and ruby had been in the room when she returned, and it had been enough for her to be able to pull it in. to stand up straight. to smile at them both and tell them everything was fine, it'd just been questions.

they were in front of the tv, now, and riza was sitting on the bed, slowly working the blood flow back through her arms, her hands. she was together enough for the update, itself, but in the silence that follows she feels her stomach start to drop.

riza.

her next exhale is shakey, whether or not he hears it. she looks over just to make sure jade and ruby aren't watching, before her eyes fall closed again. ]


I'll be okay. [ the closest to 'not really' that roy is going to get. ] But I'm worried about the others. The extents they're going to...

Sir.

[ she knows what that tone means. knows what roy is probably thinking and what he wants to do. she also knows nothing she'll say will stop him, but her tone - while a little more tired and not quite as clipped - is the same as whenever she is trying to protest, in not so many words.

but then she sighs, a slow and painful exhale. ]


They don't know what my abilities are, so at this point they're just trying to see if I react. [ her power isn't exactly showable when she's the only one in the room. that, on top of the fact she's trained in resisting interrogation...

she was a frustrating experiment for them, to say the least.

but then she stops. an extended pause, where she is trying to not explain but knowing she'll need to. that he'll expect it of her. so after five, then ten seconds, her voice comes through again. ]


Electricity, today.

self indulgent HxC because i need it.

From: [personal profile] efface
[ it takes a little bit once they've settled - riza needs to check on the other captives who have made it out, has to check on the members of the search party, check on the others who risked themselves to save the rest. she thanks them, does her due diligence, makes her way through the camp, and then finds herself gravitating towards roy.

she doesn't remember what happens after that - just that the next thing she sees is blinking awake inside the tent, wrapped up and curled up in the corner of the space. she doesn't remember getting there, and she definitely doesn't remember wrapping herself up in this jacket, or these blankets. she blinks again, feeling the heavy weight of exhaustion still clinging around her, but she's still not...sure what happened.

that uncertainty breeds anxiety, the low curl in her gut she's had every waking moment of the last fifteen days, and god does her body her. still, though, she pushes through it to try and sit up - needing to find roy, needing to know where she is, needing to know at all before she does anything, that she finds herself moving to quickly and hissing at the sharp pain that courses through her, reaching for her ribs. ]

[ it's almost immediate, really - the second the feels another body stirring next to her and seeing that said body is roy, the way she relaxes. it's also apparent to her, too, as soon as she starts to move, how her hand is tangled up in the fabric of his pant leg, wound tight and firm. she tries to pull away from it without him noticing, though she knows it's futile, and turns her attention. ]

General... [ she'd slept on her side, which - for better or worse - made it both easier and more painful to push up. but then almost immediately he's explaining, he's at her side trying to help, and riza just shakes her head. ]

No, no, I'm- I'll be fine. [ a slight correction, maybe, but an honest one. part of her wants to add that it's just a couple of broken ribs, but she realizes that starting in on a list of injuries would most likely prompt him to ask her to continue, so she holds back, pulling her legs under her to more firmly sit.

her breathing is a bit labored, but she can't tell if that's from the pain, or the sheer exhaustion from the last two weeks, as she settles to sit, her shoulder mere inches from his. ]


What...what time is it?

[ it's hard, moving around at all at this point. when they'd been broken out, the adrenaline had done enough to keep her going, to stave off the worst of it. but now, she assumes, that her body has had time to actually rest, it's come back in full force. she feels like her body is shuddering with each breath, shaking all the way through her, which is a good portion of why she lets roy help her up like he does.

the shoulder at her side is present - not pushy, not demanding, simply there is she needs it.

riza nods. she got a few hours then, not bad, but apparently necessary. ]
And we're in....a tent?

[ her mind is fuzzy, but she accepts the water, gulping down a bit of out without realizing how thirsty she had been. at least until roy's eyes turn back to her and riza's eyes fall to the bed under her. ] I'm fine. [ she gives him quietly, before realizing that most likely won't be good enough, not for what he's asking.

a moment or two later she exhales. ]


Broken ribs, at least three. [ she sets her fingers against her side, feeling the pain shoot through again, and she takes another deep breath. ] Dislocated shoulder, which I reset, but will need time to heal. Possibly minor concussion. Strained back and shoulders muscles, but no tears, possible bruised hip. No major fractures. [ another pause, still not looking over to him. ] Some residual tension from the electric instigation but nothing too major.
