Dungeon Residential Camps, Somewhere, Wednesday, Day One of Two

[not_a_whiner]

The first day had been eminently entertaining - but the Toymaker was already growing bored. He reached in and tweaked the strings of his tiny universe, adding subtle changes: speeding up time, moving hallways. One of the two might be more noticeable than the other, but he looked forward to seeing if Fandom's finest felt the time discrepancy.

He split this day in two. Bound the pathways of the first and second camps together. And sat back.

The maze changed. That was what it was built to do. Its denizens would just have to find ways to cope with it.

Which meant that Karla didn't really have to answer it, did she? So that kind of casual shrug (followed up by a hastily-hidden wince) would more than serve?

"Let's see what they did to you, luv." It was said gently, perhaps more gently than he'd said anything in a long while. She was hiding. He... didn't like to see that. "You got out alive. I won't yell."

Karla looked away from him, down to the ground, but pushed the collar out of the way, enough for Jono to see her blackened eye, her bruised cheek, her slightly swollen nose. She was glad that he wasn't Dinah, wouldn't read more into those injuries that that they simply were.

"And then there's my throat," she said. "I got bit."

He saw them. Didn't like them, but he saw them. And he nodded a little.

"Only bitten?"

She didn't look as though she'd been turned. There was something about the sight of a vampire that made his insides twist on a good day. But checking, at this point, seemed... imperative.

"Only bitten," Karla agreed with a nod, her face still downcast. "I gouged out his eye while he was feeding on me. Crude, but effective."

Especially considering Karla on her best day was barely equal with Ender on his worst.

"Good." Jono was silent for a moment, and then he nodded toward her neck. "And that'll heal cleanly? Th'best I can offer to try to clean that out with is the water from th'drinking fountain. Not certain if it's particularly clean, but I imagine clean drinking water is, at this point, the least of our concerns."

"I'm hoping it should heal up well. It's a heavy-movement area, which means it will likely open up a few more times before it scabs over enough. It may scar."

It would likely scar. Karla had fair skin and couldn't heal. But she'd deal with that later. Because what was a little wounded vanity, really?

Karla and Jono could be partners in looking in the mirror and wincing from here until the end of time. Wouldn't that be fun?

"Scars add personality," he quipped, though there wasn't much in the way of mirth in that statement. He'd walked around with scars as plain as day burned right into his face for years. He was confident she could manage. "If you need something to bandage that up with, I have plenty of spare cloth, at least. It's not exactly proper first-aid, but it's probably better than nothing."
