[ The young woman on the feed looks as though she's been through ten kinds of hell, and that wouldn't be an inaccurate assessment. She's bruised, the colors still dark with yellow edges, showing that they're healing. The tank-top she wears shows the edges of fresh bandages peeking out.
And she's seated outside the Wechester Hospital, having just been released just moments before.
And she looks sort of stressed. That same lost-and-confused look on her face that other arrivals have when they show up. When she speaks, her voice has a British accent and while it sounds a bit tired, it's still clear. She has questions. ]
I've been informed as to my current whereabouts, but when I asked the people in my hospital room how I got there, they just smiled and walked off. Is that common behavior; ask a question of the locals and get strange non-answers? They said I'd given them a fright, but were glad to see me looking so well and when I asked again, they gave me an envelope, this FluxPhone, they called it, and a key to an apartment.
Can anyone provide me with answers? The nurses didn't seem inclined to.
[ She's already not goddamn fond, okay. With a small frown and a look on her face that hints she's hellbent already on figuring out what is going on, she shakes her head and stands. Picking up a backpack nearby, she offers a small 'thank you' to whoever's listening before turning her video off. ]
[Greenway: ]
[ It's just an hour after her video and Lara's found herself in Greenway. The hustle and bustle of it seems to be something she's a bit unsure of. But her apartment needs food, and maybe while she's here she can get some answers.
It's while she's looking at the variety of fruits and vegetable in one of the stalls, eyeing some particularly lovely looking star-fruit that someone bumps into her from behind. While she doesn't fall, the hiss she lets out and the way she reaches for her own back suggests someone walked into something sensitive. Whoever they are, they try to apologize and even with a look on her face that suggests that Really Fucking Hurt, she waves them off with a shake of her head. ]
No...no it's fine. I'll be alright.
[ It's when they're almost vanished entirely in the crowd that Lara realizes something, hands coming up empty when she reaches to pay for her purchases. They have her wallet and in a quick flash, Lara goes from injured young woman to pretty damn pissed.
It's a quick but careful chase through the market but Lara, even in her state, manages to catch up to the thief, grabbing them by the back of their coat and grabbing her wallet from their hands. It's a struggle to keep her wallet from the thief, the would-be mugger having a good few inches in height and several pounds in weight on her, but Lara prevails, punching them once right in the face pretty hard for someone her size. Shoving them away, she points a finger right in their face and shouts a bit at them. ]
If I ever see your face again, you'll regret it. Now, leave.
[ They're quick to do so and once they're out of view, that's when Lara lets some of how Very Damn Tired she is show, slouching some with a small groan and putting her hands on her hips. ]
[ wildcard: the only places you won't find her are at the nightclub and at the craft store, but anywhere else is good! ]
