[The face of one exhausted and stressed dispatcher looks out from the screen, a lovely set of bruises marking her cheeks and forehead, culminating in quite the shiner. Setting her glasses straight with hands shaking slightly in the way of someone running on more caffeine than sleep, Sheska leans forward earnestly.]

As I'm sure you're all keenly aware, something odd is happening again. Mysterious wounds and injuries have been turning up on people. These are not the results of someone sneaking into your home and attacking you in the night. On this wide a scale and with such a variety of injuries, this is most certainly the island's doing again.

Please, if you are injured, the place to call is the hospital, not the police station. Though I would be more than willing to call the ambulance for you, it will be faster if you call them yourself.

As a reminder, if someone has fallen or hit their head, it's best not to move them, but to let professionals check them beforehand. For cuts, don't cut off blood flow with a tourniquet, but put pressure on the wound and elevate it if you can. It's best to keep an injured person warm, so don't be afraid to drape a blanket over them. It may get your blanket bloodstained, but you can buy a blanket. You can't buy a life, okay?

Please be careful, everyone! Tempers are high and people are on edge right now.

[Locked to Avengers, NMPD, and Red Robin]

Please report in, injured or not! Or, ah, if you know of someone who's too injured to report in themselves. There are people taking advantage of the chaos and fear right now, and it would really help to know who can be sent out and who can't. Or who to send medical help to! And has anyone heard from Chief Beifong?

[Private to Once-ler, Sirius, Koizumi, Mr. Bro Strider, Dave Strider]

Are you all right? Are you hurt? Do you need help? Please... Don't-- [She pauses, biting her lip.] J-just let me know? Please?

Uninjured. I'll start looking for Beifong, and I'll call in anyone I see on the way.

[Locked: Vigilance Filter]

[librariansheart]

Oh good. Thank you very much, that would be a big help. If you need back-up let me know and I'll... I'll see what I can do.

locked: vigilance

[redhourglass]

I'm fine.

I can bring those who aren't to headquarters, if necessary.

locked: vigilance

[librariansheart]

Thank you very much, Ms. Romanova... We have a number of calls coming from the northern side of town, but I'm worried about the other Avengers and the more secretive vigilantes. Would you be able to check in on them and see if everyone's all right? Please?

locked: vigilance.

[redhourglass]

I'll do that now.

[ she's already heading out, the static showing in her phone. ]

Just send me a list and I'll make rounds.

locked: vigilance.

[librariansheart]

Sending a list of names and known addresses via secured line to your phone... Now. Thank you! I just heard from Captain Marvel and Red Robin, but everyone else hasn't communicated yet.

phooone call;

[thneed]

[ this is the sound of complete tear filled terror. he sounds like he's having a panic attack ]

I'm not... but I. You can send somebody over, right? I don't know how to stop it. I've never done this before. I can't even fix a wolf bite and there's so much. I don't know why. Do I- Can I touch him? I'm supposed to put pressure or something or- [ half inaudible rambling about blood then the phone being dropped and quickly picked back up again ]

phooone call;

[librariansheart]

[There's a long moment where her heart freezes in her chest, but she shakes it off and interrupts gently but firmly.]

Once-ler. Listen to me. Do you remember how to put me on speaker phone? The little button on the side of your phone? Press that and set the phone down. Someone's hurt and they're bleeding? Can you tell me where you are?

phooone call;

[thneed]

Bro- He just- He's not saying anything. And the- What? Speaker? Little button... where's the... [ phone being dropped again. silence. then he's on speaker. ] ...What am I supposed to do?

phooone call;

[librariansheart]

[...Oh no.]

Are you at your apartment? I'm calling an ambulance. Where is he hurt?

[Vigilance Filter]

[tookthename]

Uninjured and patroling. I'll update you if I find anything.

[Vigilance Filter]

[librariansheart]

Thank you very much, Ms. Danvers. Could you turn your route over the north-western part of the city? That would really help. And have you heard anything from the rest of your Avengers?

[Vigilance Filter]

[tookthename]

Done.

Not that hasn't responded here. Have you heard from anyone else? Are you hurt?

[alwaysimpure]

I'm fine, Sheska. Tell me where I should go, you know I can heal people.

voice

[librariansheart]

Oh... Oh I'm so glad... Ah... Y-yes, of course, ah... Where are you at the moment?

voice

[alwaysimpure]

The shop. Means I could take potions and the like along, too.

[callbacks]

sheska im basically immortal
so im fine
what happened to you
do i need to lay the law down on someone
ps the law is my sword

[librariansheart]

Ohthankgoodness... I-I'm sorry, Dave, I keep forgetting... I just wanted... Never mind. It doesn't matter - you're fine.

[Sounds like she's convincing herself more than anything, really. She's clearly distracted, and only half-answers his question.]

But no, you don't need to use your sword on anyone. Why would you need to do that?

[callbacks]

you have a nice sunset going on around your eye there
thats the polite gentlemanly way of saying it looks like you got walloped in the face with a two by four
im like one fourth a deputized officer of the law
i can wreak justice on that two by four like anything just point me in the right direction

[redwinekindofgirl]

Do you need any help, Sheska?

[Julie looks a bit bruised, but nothing life-threatening.]

[Video] COME TO ME MY DARLING

[librariansheart]

[Oh, she looks relieved to see Julie.]

No, thank you, I'd much rather have you out patrolling, if you feel all right to do so. Or you could come to the office and help with the people who come here instead of to the hospital. Either way you'll be a great help!

[Video]

[redwinekindofgirl]

I'll do patrols and come down to the office later. Hospitals freak me out.

[For reasons.]

Are you okay?

[Video]

[dontmindmepleasecontinue]

Sheska! Are you all right? [Koizumi sounds concerned, but even over the small camera his own injuries are evident. He has a cut across his cheek and a vicious bruise on his forehead, bigger than his fist. He's obviously moving somewhere as he's talking, and when the camera jolts there's a flash of an even deeper purple across his arm.]

Re: [Video]

[librariansheart]

[Sheska straightens with a jerk, eyes widening as she takes in his injuries.]

Oh my goodness! Me?! What about you! Are you all right? Do you need me to send someone your way?

[Video]

[dontmindmepleasecontinue]

[He looks confused for a moment, then touches the spot on his head and glances down at his arm a moment. When he does so, he unconsciously turns the camera that way - to show that his entire right arm, at least past where his sleeves are hiding, is one gigantic, purple bruise. He turns back to the camera and smiles a little self-depreciatingly.] Ah, I'm all right, Sheska-kun, it's nothing to worry about.

Are you...? [He seems to realize that he can't say he's all right and then worry too much about Sheska's bruising - if the bruises he could see were something valid to worry about right now, it would validate her worrying over his injuries. That was something she didn't need right now, so he hoped that she had suffered nothing worse than he could see and simple moved on.] I've been out in the field all morning - never got a chance to get in to the station or put on my uniform.

I'm sure you have a better grasp of the situation than I do, though - where do you need me?
