video - un: starkov / dated 11/12
( the video opens on Alina looking winded. the focus is on her face, sweat trickling down her brow, strands of hair plastered to her cheeks. she's looking past the camera at something else. behind her is a dimly lit hallway, only the wall and light on the wall barely peeking out past her face. )
Be careful if you're invited to any parties these days. ( her eyes flick to the camera, then she lowers the camera to reveal her upper chest. just below her throat, across her collar bone, is a deep, angry slash that still drips past the neckline of her dress.
she raises the camera to her face again, her eyes darting around herself rather than watching the screen. ) That was meant to be my throat. Others weren't so lucky.
The Brotherhood left a message after the slaughter for the families seeking alliance with Macaluso and Taravast. ( her eyes flick back to the camera. ) Basically, don't do it; this is the only warning. ( she searches her memories a bit for the wording- ) "Never seek alliances that could imperil the Brotherhood's interests again."
( she sighs, closes her eyes and shakes her head before reaching up to wipe the strands of hair from her brow. ) I could use some help. I caught one. ( she flips the camera around to show the hallway behind her lined with the carnage of four undead envoys in pieces on the floor. ) But I still need help to clean up.

These are real thoughts he has, because he is in no way a hypocrite.As usual, he doesn’t bother with any more pleasantries. He’s been listening long enough to know where to find them.Unfortunately, he teleports closer to the scene than he means to when he lands in a pool of blood. Fantastic.
Sighing heavily, he surveys the area, trying to spot Alina and whoever she captured. Hopefully while his brother is busy cleaning up. ]

instead she waits for Five. despite all the warnings that she should curtail her anger and wait until she's more settled. fuck that. she wants to deal with this now.
so when she hears someone approaching, she steps out of a hallway to find Five. ) Over here. ( she gestures, directing him down the hallway. ) I found an empty room to drag him into. ( she didn't want any of the others to show up and find the envoy she'd caught. )

He looks across the room one more time to try and catch a glimpse of his brother and confirm that he’s not doing something stupid, but as soon as Alina calls to him he nods and follows.
Before they enter, he asks the obvious. They have less time if they saw her take him. ]
Do his friends know he’s here?
