the garden

@♛ the dragon flower While waiting for the boss to reply, she logs in to their camera system and checks around for any signs of people wondering around. Thankfully all the cameras she checks show clear, she turns on motion tracking on all the camera's so she'll get and alert if one of the camera's that are in a place where normally nothing moves, it'll send her her a alert and record the footage. she also the ir sensors she hid among the flowers lining the entrance.. hearing her phone buz with a reply, she reaches over to pick it up, read the note and reply. "I'm already on that, don't see any one nearby at the moment. but I'll Keep an eye out."

@♛ orchid "Why'd it have to be my good boots..." Serena lamented softly, as she crouched near the hose spout in a marginally empty alley, shoeless with the winter chill seeping into her pink cat socks. She sighed and the water, holding both pairs of doc martens underneath the waterfall which became a light pink as it journeyed to the ground. When her phone buzzed in her pocket, she shifted the shoes to one hand and dried the free one on her skirt before unpocketing the device to read. With a sighed swear, she made quick work of putting her shoes back on and then stood up to walk as she replied. "Just keep an eye out for anyone suss around the school, check the cameras and stuff. When she wakes up, we can ask more. Omw."

@♛ the dragon flower Sitting in the hide out, she sends out an update to her boss, using an encrypted message. "Hey ms Dragon Flower, Edelweiss just showed up in really bad shape. I did what I could for her, and she's taking a nap now. She was talking that someone hired an assassin to get her. She says she knows who but didn't tell me. it looks like she did loose a fair amount of blood, thought I'd see if you got any special instructions for me. at the moment I think she'll be okay physically but still got this assassin issue to deal with, I can try to get more information when she wakes up. i just don't see a need to try to wake her up early."

@♛ edelweiss She comes back a few moments latter with an loose fitting cotton dress, well it was more of a nightshirt and had some video game theme on it. but noticing that Edel is sleeping, she does check to make sure she's stable first, then goes and brings over a blanket and gently puts it over her, then goes back to where she was sitting and picks up her phone to send off a message*

@♛ orchid Nodding quietly as she listened to her, the pain of losing hurting Edel more than her own injuries, she couldn't help but to chide herself. She needed to be better, to be stronger so that she could not just only protect herself, but also the people around her. Leaning against the wall, she was careful not to move around too much as she watched Orchid tend to her needs, her eyes closing eventually from exhaustion

@♛ edelweiss after getting the dress off she starts working diligently on the wounds doing her best to disinfect and then bandage them. "Whoa, now I get why you'd be so upset but save your strength for healing. also don't want you aggravating your current wounds anymore then we have to..." She sighs. "Your not weak, if you where we'd not be having this conversation. instead of you making it here, you'd be in the morg! you didn't loose either the game's not over yet. So your not weak, your not useless either, I don't believe that either. Now we'll make sure that someone pays for this in due time, but right now you need to rest. I think I got something you can wear for now here, you just lay down while I get it. okay?"

@♛ orchid Breathing heavily, she nodded as Orchid helped her out of the dress, revealing bruises to the torso and back, and a giant slash across the blade of her shoulder. Forcing her eyes open, she winced as Orchid tended to her wounds, hot tears slowly streaming out as she used every last bit of strength to punch the floor again and again. "I know that someone who hired the assassin, but I still couldn't win... I'm so weak, so useless..."

@♛ edelweiss "well I'm glad they didn't succeed. gosh, just hold on i'm doing the best i can. we might need to get you to a hospital though some of this looks pretty bad." She says as she works to try to bandage her up as best she knew now, "Mind if I take your dress off? so I can see if there anything up there I need to bandage as well? and who did this to you?"

@♛ orchid She struggled to pull herself up, tugging on Orchid's sleeves as she whimpered, her voice weak and raspy. "Someone... t-tried... to kill... me..." Her vision was blurry and almost disappearing, but still she held on to try to shake it off, knowing that her life would be in danger if she didn't do so.

@♛ edelweiss Orchid was there, messing around with some gadgets to intercept and mess with cellphones when she hears the door open. looking over to see who it is she gasps and gets up, rushing to grab the first aid kit and runs over. "Oooh my gosh! what happened?!" She asks first Checking to make sure there wasn't anyone coming she'd have to fight off herself first. after making sure they where in no additional danger she then sits down by elelwiess and takes out some bandages and disinfectants and starts looking for the spots she's bleeding from so she can try to stop it. " don't try to move just yet, I made sure there's no one else coming to cause problems. but please do tell me what happened?!"

Edel trudged slowly into the main hall of the hideout, her pristine dress stained red, forehead bleeding with lips as white as ghost. Clenching her teeth, she dragged herself to her room, eventually collapsing at the front of the door with hot tears in her eyes.
