Suite 232

[awesome_lilly]

Last night, Lilly got stabbed. It gets a little hazy after that, but she's fairly sure that she's going to live... as much as she generally does.

She's ensconced on the couch with pain pills and Jello in easy reach, flipping between a telenovela and cheesy cable movies. While she's no longer hopped up on adrenaline, pot brownies, and Everclear she's still fairly woozy.

Good times.

Sallie barely knocks. She's like that.

"What the good gorram are you doin' getting stabbed? You've been spending too much time 'round Malcolm."

[awesome_lilly]

Lilly blinks wildly for a few seconds before starting to grin.

"Mrs. Mal's mom! Hi. Uh. I didn't do it on purpose?"

[realmrsreynolds]

"Same ol' story, I swear. Can I come in?"

She's already in, but it seems like it's the right question to ask.

"Can I get you anything?"

Adrian's hair is getting too long again. Puck notices because in balancing him in one arm and Aria on the opposite hip, quite a bit of it is getting in his mouth.

Meanwhile, Lilly is being assessed with a critical, and more to the point assessing sort of gaze.

"Are you at all lucid, darling?"

[awesome_lilly]

"Course!"

Lilly is so not above answering the rhetorical questions right now.

"Nah. I'm good. I've got drugs!"

Clearly.

[realmrsreynolds]

"Makes it all worthwhile somdays, drugs," Sallie jokes.

Sallie comes on through to pull up a chair beside Lilly's couch-throne, peeking at the television.

"Anything remotely entertaining off o' this?"

[awesome_lilly]

"Kinda?"

Lilly shrugs.

"It's a little hard to focus. With the drugs. Because of the stabbing."

Another effect of the drugs? Forgetting that other people might actually have working short-term memories.

[awesome_lilly]

"Lucidity is so overrated."

Lilly waves happily at the children. She's always happier to see them when someone else is holding them.

"Hi, kids. Mommy got stabbed. You should try to avoid this, it's not as fun as I make it look."

So that would be a 'somewhat,' Puck.

Alanna doesn't like it when her friends get stabbed.

On the other hand, said stabbing also tends to make them immobile and thus a captive audience, so she's learned to take the bad with the good.

She arrives on Lilly's doorstep with rum, a healing poultice, several herbs for mixing in hot liquid and a racy novel she picked up from Bar. It is perhaps not surprising that the cover is the cause of her rather spectacular blush.

"Lilly?" she calls, nudging the door open and sticking her head through.

Puck rolls his eyes, making his way to the couch and easing down onto a free space. The kids, meanwhile, squirm obliviously in his arms.

"Oh, do be still a moment," he mutters to them, before glancing over at Lilly.

"Your mother is attempting to impart an important lesson. Though for my part, I should be more curious as to how she came to learn it to begin with."

[awesome_lilly]

"'lanna!"

Lilly's smile is genuine if not overly focused.

"Hi, Stabby. I'm totally stealing your thing. Sorry?"

[the_lioness]

"If you were doing 'my thing,' you would have been on the other side of the blade," Alanna notes wryly.

She kicks the door shut and dumps her armful of supplies beside the couch, healer's eyes automatically looking Lilly over.

"How are you feeling?"

[awesome_lilly]

Lilly goes to shrug, winces, and stops.

"I just went for a walk, I swear. Next thing I knew I had a knife in my side and some strange girl freaking out. Then a coyote turned into Coyote and got me in the bar and gave me a drink and then... Mike."

She seems to feel that one word covers a lot.

[awesome_lilly]

"Oh, I'm fiiiiine."

Lilly gestures at the pain pills.

"I'm on the upside of my drugs right now. S'all good. It won't start really hurting again for ages."

"You know," says the man from Gotham as he enters, "if you wanted to say hi, you could have found a better way then getting stabbed.

"Long time no see, Madam. Up for visitors?"

[ooc: probably not online long, so consider this a placeholder.]

[puckishly.livejournal.com]

"Mike," Puck repeats.

Possibly he is stunned. More likely he's simply going for dramatic effect.

"Coyote is always handy with a drink, isn't she," he adds dryly, after a moment. He sighs, gently extracting his finger from Aria's mouth and prompting a brief musical sting of protest. "Who was the girl, then? Or did she neglect to introduce herself."

[the_lioness]

It's hard not to laugh at the expression on her face; Alanna manages, if only because she wrinkles her nose at the pain pills.

"I brought you a poultice and some herbs for tea. They should help with healing, if you don't want me to heal it first?" She bites her lip and raises her eyebrows. "I assume someone did something..."

[awesome_lilly]

"Better, maybe," Lilly says consideringly. "But not nearly so effective!"

Her cheerfulness post-stabbing likely has a lot to do with the bottle of pain pills on the coffee table.

"Hiya, Knox."

[awesome_lilly]

"She introduced her knife!"

Lilly seems remarkably unconcerned with the random stranger aspect of her injury. Again: pain pills.

"I didn't recognize her, but I was busy bleeding. Coyote probably got a better look."

[awesome_lilly]

Lilly nods vigorously.

"Moiraine did the wavey hand light thingy, but it only kinda worked, and she was going to explain maybe, or at least be serenely cryptic about it but then Mike volunteered to do stitches and Coyote gave me a drink and then it all gets a liiiittle fuzzy."



"Mike's brownie did not help."

[gotham-knocking.livejournal.com]

He takes a seat, trying to stay chipper but a bit surprised at how she looks. He didn't know the dead could look so sickly here.

"Care to indulge a reporter's curiosity and tell me who'd be dumb enough to attack you? It's off the record, I promise."

[awesome_lilly]

Yeah, for all Lilly's drug-induced cheer she still kinda looks like hell.

"Doesn't matter, actually. I don't even really know. Some strange girl out in the woods. I think it might have been an accident, really."

[realmrsreynolds]

"So I hear."

Inflating just a little to straighten up in her seat, "You missed my man trouble, I'm very disappointed in you."

[awesome_lilly]

Lilly's eyes get very big. It's even more noticeable with how large her pupils are at the moment.

"Man trouble! Oooh. Tell me! I've been injured, I need the healing power of gossip."

[realmrsreynolds]

"You know Boromir, right? He works for you?"

Sallie explains the whole series of events, from Boromir walking up to her for no reason to admitting rather strong feelings of affection for her, to Tom's potion being slipped to him and whatever being wrong with Boromir breaking.

A weak laugh, "What is it with me and dead men?"
