[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.]

...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.

[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.

[rdmcatpaw.livejournal.com]

[She shook her head.]

I want to stay here.

/replies in the right place this time

[thursday-angel.livejournal.com]

[And from down the hall, Castiel comes running up. He's been searching for Cat for a while now, and is glad that someone managed to stop her.]

Marco, thanks for stopping Cat.

[He leans his head to the side slightly, trying to catch Cat's eyes.]

Cat?

[ntjstapwn]

You shouldn't...

*Marco moves aside some when Cas arrives. The angel should be better equipped to help here...he hopes.*

You're welcome, but I didn't do much.

[rdmcatpaw.livejournal.com]

[She looks up when Cas addresses her before looking back down at the body infront of her. The Mithra shuts her eyes and her body trembles, her fists clenched tightly.]

I want to stay here.

[Urging her body to get back up, she moves her arms to cast another strong cure spell although it doesn't complete. There's an annoyed growl from her, she uses an ability that she shouldn't have: Convert. A prism of light with a blue-green circle surrounds her briefly before fading in to thin air. She staggers, struggling to maintain her balance.]

[thursday-angel.livejournal.com]

That is not recommended, Cat.

[Castiel frowns and reaches up to steady Cat.]

What did you just do?

[ntjstapwn]

It won't do any good.

*He furrows his brow, wondering what she just did.*

Castiel, do you know where her room is?

[rdmcatpaw.livejournal.com]

Convert...

[She attempts to start casting Cure 4 on herself, but she's having difficulty.]

Exchanges... life for magic...

[thursday-angel.livejournal.com]

Yes, I do. Will you help me get Cat away from here?

[Castiel grabs Cat by both her shoulders, leaning down so he can look her in the face.]

Stop. You aren't helping anyone by hurting yourself this way.
