56 - Audio - This is what it feels like, when someone you love dies

[ For the entire post, except for the parts deleted, Stephanie's voice has a quality of dead calm. This has to be about business, getting things done. There's been and will be plenty of time for mourning. ]

[ Private to Barge Blotters ]

I need a few days to myself, so I won't be able to do the write up this week. I'd appreciate if someone could take it over. I've got a couple notes for you, but it's not much.

[ Public ]

Tim Drake was killed earlier today, multiple bullet wounds to the back and chest. First floor hallway. I left him in the infirmary a few hours ago. I didn't get a good look at the guy, but he was about six foot, maybe five nine, short brown hair, muscular build.

Find him.

[ Private to Bruce and Dick, strikes readable but deleted ]

I tried, I did everything I could--

I was just too late.

I'm sorry. I'm so--

The infirmary can't find the body. I... don't think he's coming back this time.

[ooc | TIM IS NOT ACTUALLY DEAD. THERE IS NO KILLER. Stephanie is hallucinating, and will continue to do so. She is also conveniently unaware that there is a flood on.

For the remainder of the flood, should anyone try to convince her that Tim is alive, she will hallucinate an entirely different conversation until they stop. If you try to bring Tim to her or if Tim tries to find her, she will be mysteriously impossible to find anywhere. You're welcome to actually play out both sides of the conversation, hallucination and real, or handwave it as an extended silence on Stephanie's part. Spam totally welcome. ]

[ WHAT THE FUCKING- ]

[ And he's running down the hallway-

(Oh god his shoulder hurts. Burns. His breath catches but he ignores it-) ]

[ ooc; for Tim, then he's dragging him to Steph-

Banging on his door- that's still Tim's door- ]

Tim. Tim.

[He can hear Bruce and at first he thinks it's another 'let's talk about what's bothering you while avoiding what's bothering me' thing, but that tone isn't right for that talk, so he rolls off his bed and pulls open the door.]

What - are you okay? [Because that is not normally how you greet someone, Bruce, what is it.]

[ Tim is here. Bruce stares at him, eyes narrowed. His communicator is still in one hand, and he looks at him up at down. His breath trips over itself again, involuntarily, as a wave of heatpain spreads through him. He ignores it.

This can be an imposter, so- ]

Give me the fourth and fifth word of the Oath.

Of course I can do it.

Tim'll be back.

[pause]

Did you get a good look at the bullet wounds? I'll go and have a look at the corridor where it happened, see if I can fin...

[pause]

They must have done a good job of clean... I can't even smell blood. How long ago was this?
