Creeping closer, the conversation continued. "Look, someone better tell the chief." "And that can be whoever puts in the coroner's report. I ain't mentioning it till someone's sure it's actually him." ~Definitely familiar...someone we seen a couple of times?~ Crys didn't sound or 'feel' sure, but there was a felling of concern and..slight sadness? That definitely had to be Crys and not T.

As she was creeping closer, she bumped her foot on something that made a small, metallic sound against the sidewalk, a slight glint catching her eye.

[yamikuronue]

T squats to examine the metallic thing at her feet.

[CalamityJade]

It was mangled fairly badly, but as she looked at it...she'd definitely think it was familiar. Part of one side was scorched and it had some blackened...gunk on one side, but it probably started life out as a pen. A pen she'd seen recently, even. She remembered...being in a booth and someone taking notes? Though that was less than plausible. The person WITH the pen had gone to the hospital and it hadn't looked cheap enough that he'd throw it out.

[yamikuronue]

A...pen? Like the one... but then, pens were hardly one of a kind. Probably it was simply like the one... yes, very much like. She tucks it into her pocket -- it might be a clue?

[CalamityJade]

~So....what was that? I can tell you touched something with a lot of Pulse on it, but I can't make it out.~

[yamikuronue]

~...what, this pen?~ She slips her hand into her pocket, touching a finger to the pen once more.

[CalamityJade]

There were flashes that passed across T's vision. Flashes of moments and feeling. Faces of people she didn't recognize and places she hadn't been. Some of the flashes, however, were rather pointed. She saw herself running at some figures on a stage, a woman she recognized as the Fatespinner looking to have been knocked unconsious. She saw Erica, looking nervous in a booth as she spoke, words not really coming through but she was sure she remembered what had been said.

Another flash...and she was standing in a hospital room, speaking with Mordrianna about Fate and the roles people would play. She seemed like she was speaking to 'her' but that it wasn't her. That she was seeing this as someone else. Someone that was taking notes as Mordrianna spoke. This person always took notes so they could keep track of anything important to talk about later. And there would be words about it. She saw a man that she'd chased recently being crushed by a collapsing building, but not what caused it. The person T was didn't know how it could happen, until 'she' saw herself brandishing a knife at something 'she' couldn't see.

Another flash...and she's back in the hospital, Mordrianna's words clear now,, rather than the muddled mess they were before. Her voice was slightly echoy. "She helped...because that is who she is, underneath her pain and anger." A slight jump in the scene. "Beware the seeker. He will hound your trail to the end."

Another flash...and there was a world of bright light and searing pain. The sensation of falling and then...no sensation at all. T was suddenly back in the crowd, people mulling about and looking to see the medics carting whatever they had been before into their van and close the doors. ~T! Can you hear me?!~ Crys sounded scared and worried and possibly annoyed? That last part was hard to tell in the haze of everything else she'd seen and felt.

[yamikuronue]

T curls into a ball, her toes the only part touching the ground; her body compacts itself, squatting, rocking a bit. She clutches her knife tightly as she bites down on her lip. Her body can't decide if she wants to lash out or lash inwards, to kill whatever's doing this to her or hurt herself to snap her out of it. This was... this was...

She forces her breathing to slow from the frantic pace it had taken on. Rob, she thinks to herself, like a knife to the gut. Something's happened to Rob.

[CalamityJade]

~The detective?~ There was a pause as along with her own panic, there were thoughts of wanting to calm. Wanting to comfort, but not knowing how. ~That was...him?~ Right, Crys only really 'saw' through it's connection to T. ~...we should move. There are more lights around you.~ And as T calmed, she might notice that some of the people had stopped gawking at the damaged area and road, and started gawking at her.

[yamikuronue]

T bares her teeth in a silent snarl before she realises she shouldn't. She pops up again, suspending her better judgement in order to rush toward the van. "Wait!"

[CalamityJade]

The crowd looked oddly at T as she ran for the ambulance...as well as a few of the police officers, even tho none of them stopped her as one of the ambulance workers looked over at her. "Hey, you gotta stay back from the area. S'not safe."

[yamikuronue]

"Please, I think my brother's in there!" she lies, seamlessly. "Can I, is it... have you identified...?"

[CalamityJade]

The man looked annoyed and seemed about to answer before the other one spoke up. "Come on, Greg. Face is fine enough." Greg gave a sigh. "Fine, you can check. It'll save us some time looking for his ID." He went to the back and opened it up. "Two minutes and that's it."

[yamikuronue]

T creeps forward, nervously. It's probably not him. It's probably fine.

[CalamityJade]

They had a sheet over the...body in the back. They opened it to give her a second to confirm who it was...and it was definitely Rob. The face hadn't been too hurt, some cuts from things flying at his face and a burn on the underside of his jaw, but it's him.
