Verse 01 - Video

[poeticverses]

[The feed opens up on a...pretty beat up redhead. Dried blood, bruises starting to form, cuts and scrapes, everything short of bullet wounds, really.

Those were healed before he woke up.

It takes a second for him to realize that he got it to start recording and he blushes a bit. Not that you can tell with all the bruising and whatnot, but. He looks like any beat-up 19th century Frenchman: dirty, bloody shirt, bloody blue waistcoat...basically, he didn't bother to clean up before figuring out this console.

When he speaks, his voice is fairly soft and he's terribly awkward, and not just because he's talking into a box]

The gentleman who brought me here said I could use this...device to contact others in the city. Does...is anyone else here from Paris? If so, are you familiar with Les Amis de l'ABC? My name is Jehan--Jean, but I prefer Jehan--Prouvaire, and I need to know if I'm the only one of us here. If I am not, could you please direct me to my friends?

[Don't ask if he wants to be alone here or not. He couldn't tell you]

I also need a doctor, please. I don't think I am in any danger of dying now, but I would rather not risk it.

Ah...thank you.


[[ooc: for those of you not familiar with French, "Jehan" does has a different sound than "Jean"]]

[She whistles through her teeth a little -- boy doesn't look good. (Which is certainly not lady-like of her, really, nor is the looong purple hair that is in the process of slowly fading to an amethyst sort of color. So have fun with that, Jehan.]

I haven't seen anyone from Paris, but I haven't really been looking, either. Are you okay?

[poeticverses]

[Give him a second, he's distracted by purple hair. He doesn't stare, though]

Ah...to be honest, no. I'm not. I'm fairly certain I was dying back home.

[No sense in lying about that]

[magicalpadawan]

...Seems like it wasn't very good back home for quite a few people. [She also sounds very American, for reference. Specifically, Chicago, but Jehan wouldn't know that.]

[Wow, that looks way too familiar, the whole... dead sort of thing. Alcuin will try to keep from staring in discomfort.

Also the French is very close to his language, though he has never heard of Paris.]

I do not know of any such friends, but I think that if your wounds are closed, you should be well out of danger.

[poeticverses]

[Thank you, kind monsieur. Jehan shifts a little, still awkward]

I am worried they'll become infected or worse if left untreated.

[virginprice]

[Alcuin sympathizes. Being recorded in a bloody suit of clothes just after your death is not easy.]

Mine have been all right, but it is likely best to ease your mind.

[Wow, kid. You looked like you had a bad day. Also, under all that blood and damage, Dorian's fop-senses tell him you are badly dressed.]

[So a pretty young Englishman, no older than twenty, speaks with gentle concern.]

I've travelled to Paris often [and he is pretty certain in your century] but I'm afraid I've heard nothing of that group. [Un groupe qui a failli devenir historique] I believe we have a healer residing in the Water Sector who freely offers his services.

[poeticverses]

[Damn your fop senses!

He perks up a bit at "Paris" but it doesn't last after the man says he doesn't know Les Amis]

I see. Who should I approach about treatment, then? I don't think wandering around lost would be the wisest choice for me right now.

[depicted]

[Poor Frenchboy.] The name was Sep, as I recall. WA-3A. So of the two three-story buildings in the sector suits, it is the A building.

[howherolls]

[ Peeta stares at him. he hasn't seen anyone actually injured here before and it makes him nervous]

Real or not real?

[poeticverses]

I beg your pardon?

[howherolls]

[ he closes his eyes and takes a deep breath ]

Are you a real person? Are you really bleeding?

[fotia]

Hey, man! Tough day?

[poeticverses]

[He blinks because what is 21st century English but nods after he figures out what the kid means]

It wasn't particularly carefree, no.

[If the whole "bloodied" thing wasn't a clue]

[fotia]

I feel you, man. [ no, leo, no you don't sob ] Anyway! Welcome on board the giant turtle! I'm not sure about your friends but I'll let you know if I spot someone else looking like crap around these areas.

[ ariadne's brow just furrows in a quick consideration, before she is smiling faintly, nodding in response. ]

I was living in Paris before all of this. I can't say that anyone from Les Amis de l'ABC was there when I was though. Sorry.

[poeticverses]

[He almost starts to say "But you don't look French" but remembers that someone who doesn't look French saying she's from Paris is not the strangest thing today. He smiles a bit, shy]

Thank you, regardless. May I ask why you were in Paris?

I was studying architecture at the École D'Architecture in Paris. [ which only has her frowning slightly at the admittance - she does miss it after all. ]

I'm assuming it wasn't 2010 when you left though.

[trainwrecked]

[Good thing the place autotranslates spoken words...]

I've been to Paris, but I don't think I've heard any of those, sorry. And I can't really help with much more than first aid, but there is at least one healer in the Water Sector, lemme know if you need help getting there?

[poeticverses]

Ah...I'm not sure moving about is the wisest choice at this moment, but I have been told of the medic there and will contact him soon. Thank you, however. You've been to Paris, you said?

video;

[trainwrecked]

Yeah, probably not. Good luck.

[Small shrug.]

I was shipped off to Europe over a year back. Team I've been working with has been on the move for most of that time. I've been to Paris.

[thetyrant]

There seem to be a fair few of your friends here, though I assume you've found them by now. [More than one counts as "a fair few" because tyrants have better things to do than count 8|]

[poeticverses]

[This comes some time later. Jehan looks a bit better. Cleaner, certainly]

Yes, Combeferre and Enjolras.

[You thought the girl with purple hair was weird? Here's one with strange, high-arched eyebrows and pointed pointed ears. And a dress that's not covering nearly enough for modesty's sake, even by more relaxed Continental standards.]

Whoa, you don't look good. Has someone arranged for a doctor?

[video]

[poeticverses]

[Oh God. Jehan pales, then blushes, then promptly looks down. He looks better, as this comes after meeting his friends. Nita has completely thrown him, however]

Ah, y-yes. Mademoiselle, are you in trouble?

[WHY ELSE WOULD YOU BE SO NAKED]
