[accidental video] Canon update

[rosejam]

[The camera suddenly turns on as it falls to the ground, catching a quick view of a tall man seated on a horse. A stretch of road breaks the forest cover behind him--by the light it seems to be nearing dusk. The view is pointed towards him as he looks around.]

Lilith! If you can hear me, answer!

[He leans back in the saddle, eyes wandering around the forest and the road. He mutters to himself. The silence is suddenly broken by the sharp scream of a young girl--Lilith. The man kicks his horse towards the voice. His own horrified scream carries to the camera even if the both of them are totally off camera.

When he speaks, it seems they're not far off camera.]

No, Lilith--Lilith, how did this happen...?!

[Lilith's own voice isn't as strong as the man's. In fact, it sounds extremely strained.] Georik...

How many times have I warned you not to go off by yourself?!

I'm so sorry, brother... I ran here... [Lilith's voice breaks as she speaks even if Georik breaks her off with a sharp remark.]

Foolish girl! You're seriously injured, let me see! [Georik's voice keeps rising in volume and speed. Lilith doesn't seem to hear him or care.] A monster...in the forest, such a terrible beast.

We have to stop the bleeding... Stay still!

No! We have to run...! [Lilith's voice is barely caught by the camera, a mere whisper with each word spoken heavily as if she's having trouble breathing.]

Calm down, there's nothing there. We have to get back to the villa. ...Lilith? Answer me! [The camera cuts out suddenly.]

((Normal is Lilith, italics is Georik, her brother. She will actually respond, IC-ly it will be a few hours up to a day but she will respond.))

Huh? What's going on?

[rosejam]

[There's a few footsteps, as someone picks up the camera but the camera goes black only after a few seconds of footage.]

[video]

[fearleads]

Hey, wait! You can't just leave us hangmen!

[video]

[rosejam]

[It's a few hours later when the feed returns, Lilith is adjusting the camera and she blinks.]

Oh--I'm sorry that you caught that. [She sounds incredibly more stable, not a scratch on her.]

[video]

[fearleads]

Welcome back! Glad you got patched up.

[video]

[rosejam]

It really wasn't so bad--my brother is an amazing doctor, after all.

[Clearly nothing wrong here. Nope. Nothing.]

[video]

[fearleads]

If there's some body dangerous out there, maybe you really should stay inside.

[moonspell]

Miss Zaberisk, is everything alright? Do you need some help?

[voice]

[rosejam]

[The response comes a few hours later.]

Ah--Miss Lydia. I'm alright.

[voice]

[moonspell]

Do the two of you need any help? Though I suppose whatever was going on is over now.

[voice]

[rosejam]

We're fine. I came across a large wild dog...it bit me but that was all.

[voice]

[moonspell]

A wild dog? I've had a similar experience recently, though I didn't get hurt.. You got medical help, then?

[voice]

[rosejam]

From my brother, yes. He's a doctor, after all.

[refinedvillian]

[...He'd been worried something would happen. Things seemed too dangerous around her.]

I hope the ending is meant to make us falsely worried. How are you?

[rosejam]

[The response comes a few hours later.]

My apologies. I don't remember much of the attack but I panicked, it seems.

[refinedvillian]

[A few hours is enough to make him think the odds is against her.]

There's no need to apologize. I'm glad to see that you're alright, after all.

Do you know who it was that attacked you?

[rosejam]

It was a wild dog. I...will admit that I panicked more than I should have.

[refinedvillian]

It didn't sound like it was for nothing. Your brother seemed panicked, too. He said you were seriously injured?

[rosejam]

The wild dog managed to bite my arm. It was rather deep.

[Voice]

[strippedofgrace]

Lilith! Don't you dare!!

[It's voice so she can't see that he's worried... but sound does a pretty good job of communicating that anyway.]

[voice]

[rosejam]

[A few hours later, Lilith sounds incredibly embarrassed.]

I do apologize, Mister Lucifer. It seems that my constitution wasn't as healthy as I thought it was.

[voice]

[strippedofgrace]

At least yer talking. What happened?

[voice]

[rosejam]

I don't really remember the details but... [There's a pause. How should she describe it?] There was an animal, probably a wild dog. It chased me for a long time--I think it bit me but I don't know remember much more than that. I woke up in the villa, I must have fainted after the attack.

[voice]

[strippedofgrace]

And you're patched up fine? No lastin' injuries?

[voice]

[rosejam]

That's right. Other than an incredibly worried brother, I'm fine.
