iii. video. open, then unseelie-locked. backdated to the end of september, ~29-30th

[UNLOCKED: VISIBLE TO ALL.]

[Candlelight laps at the dim image of the Brucolac's face, showing up mottled scars along his cheeks. His expression is tired. Whether it's the light or exhaustion, his olive skin looks faintly greenish.]

Alyosha of Redgate is dead by the hand of Reynard the Fox.

[It's not a lie. She is exactly as deceased as he is. He sighs out a breath, tches faintly, and moves on, his hoarse, scratchy voice impassive.]

Unrelatedly, I require information on the thief who stole the feathers of the birdking. He wasn't found? Did anyone pick up a trail?

[He knows he wasn't found. Hence (partly) the current sticky situation he's in.]

[LOCKED TO UNSEELIE.]

I'm at Caer Scima.

[He hisses through his teeth, rubs his forehead; his head is pounding, thick knots of tension twisting in his temples, pain shooting down his neck, bursting behind his eyes, tightening his jaw. Bone-dry and grimly humourous, he says:]

If anyone, preferably human, feels they have a surplus of blood.

[That sentence is left unfinished, the conclusion—in his mind, at least—obvious.]

[LOCKED TO ALICE & BERSERKER.]

[Flatly:]

What the fuck happened.

Not really the circumstances I planned on offering you a drink, but nothing goes as intended.

Oh, does he still have you on that Garuda job?

[he hadn't heard. you got a bit busy with your new bloodsucking friend, and so did he.]

I've never been accused of a surplus of blood, mate. What's happened?

What became of Reynard? How and why did this happen?

[His tone is cold and harsh. He rather liked Alyosha. She had the potential to be a good ally. To think that ambitious fool Reynard had offed her certainly angers him. It's high past time he did something about that nuisance.]

Thank you for getting the information out.

How long do you plan to remain in Scima's walls?

What in god's name happened?

[Only a handful of particular people are going to need blood for a reason, and to him, none of them are really that good. Usually.]

Did you find the blood you needed?

Condolences.

[It's almost pitched as a question--he has no idea how close you were to this person, and knows nothing about Redgate. He'll have to get the story sometime.]

Can I ask what ya need the blood for? [Cause if it's like, a religious thing, man, y'know. He knows where to get some. Won't be human, though. :|a ]

Vampire?

[ She'd met one, her first day here. This one seems... a bit more polite than Damon. Sort of. ]

You can have some of mine.

[ Some being the key word. ]

[ John doesn't reply until Harry's confirmed it privately, that what the Brucolac says is true. He remembers him from Redgate; he seemed okay, despite the whole fucking mess.

Both of them look like shit now. ]

The thief went straight toward Caer Scima. I had to abandon the trail for obvious reasons.

[ A pause, then, more quietly- ]

You were with her? When it happened?

You look poor, my dear.

[ He likes the Brucolac. That means terms of endearments. ]

Should you need it, there are a great many rats in my rooms. Though if you can grow ill, I would advise against sampling them.

[ He would also advice against letting them out and starting a plague, but. Eh. ]

Will you tell me of this Fox and Alyosha?

[effy is v e r y suspicious of that weird question.]

Why do you want to know how much blood someone has?

[ okay. she might be oh so over the unseelies, but it seems she still gets their mail forwarded to her locket -- and so! ]

You know, I'm not sure there's really such thing as a surplus of blood. [ oh the conclusion is obvious and she likes none of it. none of it. ]

I do not know for certain.

I'm certain you witnessed the aftermath, sir.

[ Currently shell shocked more ways than one and a bit worse for wear, Alice is not completely sound of mind, but that is sadly nothing new after a fight. ]

What do you mean what happened?
