[The recording comes to life with a large gasp from the Mithra, she's trying to keep control of her emotions, but there's hint in her voice that its failing.]

...I need some help on deck 7! Something horrible took place here and I'm trying to...

[She trails off, the chime of her spell can be heard. It is ineffective to the body its being casted on.]

My magic doesn't seem to be working!

[She tries again, a Raise spell, but it fails as well. Her voice is starting to crack.]

C'mon! Work! Embraced by the soothing wind, heal the wounds of those deeply in need! Cure IV!

[Again, it fails. There's a cry of frustration before the feed dies with a loud thunk.]

Cat? What's the matter?

[He's only a couple decks away when the post goes up, so he starts running towards the elevators as he replies.]

[Her voice? It was broken with sobs, but she manages to take a breath and collect herself for a moment.]

Its... Kevas! He's...

[She trails off, trying to keep it together as she tries casting but the spell stops mid-way.]

...dead.

[Once again, there's the chime of her magic, she's not going to stop casting.]

[ntjstapwn]

...What's wrong? What do you need?

*That's his deck, so he's out to wander the halls and find her or the trouble.*

[rdmcatpaw.livejournal.com]

[There's the constant chime of her casting magic -- well more so that it keeps failing on her. Her voice is strained.]

Kevas... I found him... dead. I'm trying to... revive him, but... not having any luck.

[ntjstapwn]

*...fuck*

Cat, just stay there; I'm coming to you.

*Given how many chimes she's causing, he should be able to hunt her down quickly.*

[rdmcatpaw.livejournal.com]

Al..Alright.

[Marco can find the mage standing near Kevas' body, the neck broken and the chest had been impaled. She's still trying to cast spells, hoping that her "brother" would recover; knowing that there was a chance that wasn't going to happen.]

[ntjstapwn]

*He comes up behind her.*

...Cat.

*And puts a hand on her shoulder, trying to steer her to look at him instead of the body. He doesn't look away from it himself, though.*

[rdmcatpaw.livejournal.com]

[She flinches a little at the touch, interrupting her spell, she ends up turning to Marco easily and buries her head against his chest. She couldn't stop the tears that flowed from her eyes as she choked back some sobs.]

Not again... This can't be happening again!

[ntjstapwn]

*Its awkward, but he takes his arms around her--though it may be more to keep her from looking back than any sort of comfort--and speaks quietly*

Its alright, Cat. He'll be as good as new in about a day.

*...Or, at least, he'd better be.*

[rdmcatpaw.livejournal.com]

[She nods, mentally praying to Altana that Kevas would be the same -- even if the Dawn Goddess didn't exist on the boat. The Mithra tries to wipe away the tears.]

I'm sorry...

[ntjstapwn]

Don't be. You didn't do anything wrong.

[rdmcatpaw.livejournal.com]

I was unable to bring him back...

[Another inhale of a shakey breath and a small sniff.]

[ntjstapwn]

He's in the system's hands now. It probably stopped you. If you want to blame anyone, blame Redd and whoever killed him.

[Audio]

[keepthedeaddown.livejournal.com]

Cat, are you alright?

[Sabriel felt that. It's been a while since she's been close enough to sense someone's death. But Cat is obviously still alive, so it's Cat she asks after.]

[Audio]

[rdmcatpaw.livejournal.com]

I'm not hurt.

[But her voice is shakey.]

[Audio]

[keepthedeaddown.livejournal.com]

Are you in danger?

[Sabriel is cautiously making her way up the stairs. There's a lot of noise and movement on deck seven. It occurs to her that the death she felt may not be the person Cat is trying to heal.]

Is someone else hurt?

[Audio]

[rdmcatpaw.livejournal.com]

I don't think so...?

[Why didn't she realize this earlier when she arrived? Although she glances at the body that's beside her and she closes her eyes.]

I've... been trying to revive him, but no luck.

[Audio]

[keepthedeaddown.livejournal.com]

[She wants to ask who. She doesn't.]

What is the closest room number?

[Audio]

[rdmcatpaw.livejournal.com]

[She takes a moment to look around, trying to not look back at the body.]

The hallway with the numbers of 63...

[rdmcatpaw.livejournal.com]

I have to keep trying...

[She pulled her head back and looked up to Marco before trying to turn to start casting white magic again.]

[ntjstapwn]

*He doesn't let her turn away, but will let go if she struggles too much.*

No, Cat. It won't do anything but exhaust you. He wouldn't want you to wear yourself out.

[rdmcatpaw.livejournal.com]

[Cat does squirm in his grip, desperately trying to get free.]

I'll be fine!

[ntjstapwn]

*He loosens his grip slightly. Not enough to let her go, but enough that she could break free. He'll probably grab her again if she tries to go back to casting.*

No, you won't Cat. I'm sorry, but there's nothing you can do at this point. The best you can do is take care of yourself...you've already helped Kevas just by caring.

[rdmcatpaw.livejournal.com]

[She manages to break free and just as she moves to cast her spell again, she stops. The words he said about how she already helped Kevas, sunk in and caused her to drop to her knees, her head hanging low.

Marco had a point and yet she was ignoring her own condition for her friends. It had always been like this.]

...I guess so...

[ntjstapwn]

*He moves to stand before her and offers a hand.*

Come on. I'll take you back to your room so you can get some rest.
