One to the Chest: Man Down

[x-cypher.livejournal.com]

The log of doom. Apologies if this is a bit disjointed, as there are a lot of perspectives to deal with. Alison's stalker, Trev, is at the blood drive looking for her in order to send a rather personal message. Doug is distracted and hovering over Rahne. After a while, Trev gets frustrated and tries to take a potshot at Rahne. Doug dives in front of her and takes the bullet, and Madelyn attends to him. Marie-Ange tries to run to Doug but is stopped by Moira, though Angie punches her a couple times in the process before Moira gets a nurse to sedate her. Scott finds the shooter, and details Haroun and Kurt to take him down, which they do, Kurt managing to talk Haroun out of killing the little weasel. Alison shows up to see the man who's been harrying her for so long, and Charles runs crowd control.

( The sound of bullets flying through the air // Is follwed by a cry // And the crying... )

Amanda, Nate - Saturday morning

[xp_daytripper]

While the cat's away... While everyone else is at the blood drive, Amanda comes to look after the sickie. And ends up getting relationship advice from the Askani.

( ~Do not be his refuge if he uses you only to escape the darkness he chooses for himself.~ )

Angelo and Nathan, last night after the blood drive

[x-skin.livejournal.com]

Angelo takes Joyita and goes looking for a little reassurance, which he gets.

( He'll be okay... just try and... do something to keep your mind off it, maybe. )

Saturday Night, Kitchen

[x-polarisstar.livejournal.com]

In the kitchen, Shiro and Lorna discuss the shooting and why this crisis is different. They also christen a new club into existence. Lorna makes pumpkin muffins.

( Chess Club is for those without lives. The rest of us have much more interesting ways to spend our time. )

Madelyn, Kurt - Saturday evening

[x-madelyn.livejournal.com]

Set after Madelyn's post to the community but before the staff post from Alison. Madelyn has a small nervous breakdown in the wake of the shooting, and Kurt is there to catch her.

( How can we help them when they don't trust us to, Kurt? )

OOC: Apologies for the lack of links, LJ is being a pain with that Invalid Error thing...

Log [Alison, Haroun] - Blood Drive, Aftermath

[x-dazzler.livejournal.com]

Alison & Haroun. Set a few hours after the return to the mansion, after the shooting at the blood drive.

( Doug knew! He knew all along! That was all the hiding away was about, the planning and the secrecy. )

Betsy and Nathan, Saturday night

[x-cable.livejournal.com]

Backdated to Saturday night after the blood drive. Betsy stops by to check on Nathan when she senses him projecting a little loudly. The two of them speculate on why they didn't catch on to Doug's plan, and then make some tentative first steps towards becoming more at ease with each other. Oh, and Betsy feeds Bella grapes.

( Do you wonder how we missed it? )

Log [Alison & Amanda]

[x-dazzler.livejournal.com]

Early Saturday morning, before the blood drive and this log as well. Amanda goes to find Alison and they talk about Manuel, his training, and a few other small things of no great importance. Much. Well, depending on how you look at those things.

( And I don't really pay attention to the aristocratic thing. He needs it because it's the one thing he has, yadda yadda. Letting myself be bothered by it is a losing proposition. )

(no subject)

Since the question was asked - what was Magneto doing at the blood drive anyway?

Many thanks to x_crowdofone for coming up with this one.

( Interlude )

Log [Miles & Kurt, with a brief appearance by Alison]

[x-dazzler.livejournal.com]

Sunday evening. Miles and Kurt discuss why bad people do the things they do and some details about Miles' previous life comes to light.

( But Miles knows better than to think it is always only like that. )

Log [Alison & Madelyn] The mechanics thereof...

[x-dazzler.livejournal.com]

Alison & Madelyn, Monday evening. Alison decides to edumacate herself about some things and after a spot of teasing, Madelyn is more than happy to oblige.

( Heart attacks are bad! You're a doctor, I shouldn't have to explain these things to you! )

Log: Clarice & Doclady Dr. Bartlet

[x-blink.livejournal.com]

After seeing Doug get shot...

( He doesn't like sweaters. They itch. )

Scott and Betsy, Saturday night

[x-cyclops.livejournal.com]

Late Saturday night, after the events of the blood drive, Scott finds himself without any idea of what to do next. Betsy rescues him, but he's not really hearing her. The phrase 'at the end of one's rope' applies here.

( Seventeen years old and going off to die... )
