[text] @helsing; I've always liked to play with fire [open]

I'm looking to speak to anyone who;

1. Has communicated with the Church hermit
2. Has come across any railroad tracks in Beacon
3. Has seen any antibiotics lying around

[ She would have left it there but figures maybe she should probably let people know this next bit; ]

I also spotted a giant spirit in the woods around the museum. Try not to get killed by it.

[ She doesn't have a good comeback for that one because honestly, everything about Elena is throwing her for a loop. She'd half expected her to look like Axel had: Halfway to feral, barely clinging to his humanity, but no. She looks like she's about to pledge a damn Sorority or something.

Instead, Scarlett folds her arms across her chest, watching as Elena arranges herself. Little emotion showing in her features as she manages to quietly - though Scarlett would never admit as much - impress the woman by how calmly she's approaching this.

Once ready she pulls a knife from its place on her belt. Sharp and effective but blessedly not so large that she could use it for a little limb removal. ]

Alright, so. How do you wanna do this? [ Moving closer and inspecting her arm for a moment. ] Count of three or -

[ She doesn't need to finish that sentence, however. Her movements are fast, bordering on inhuman and without so much as a flicker of change in her features, she's already run the blade across the outside of Elena's arm. ]

[ Perhaps one day they can have a discussion of just how much Elena has subverted Scarlett's expectations and it can come up that she used to be a cheerleader back in high school. She still remembers all those routines, including the ones from when she'd been without her humanity...

A hiss of surprised pain nearly fills the room as that knife easily cuts through her skin, a hot stream of blood slowly trickling down her arm and onto the white towel, staining it a bright red. Closing her eyes for a moment, she stays perfectly still and breathes through the pain, remembering the warning the other woman had given her. When she opens her eyes again, it's to glare at Scarlett in irritation. ]

I should have known you'd do that.

[ And then she looks at the cut, which should have already been healing but... isn't. It's just bleeding, albeit slowly. ]

Well, shit.

[ If she's looking for an apology from Scarlett, she's clearly come to the wrong place. The woman simply lifting her shoulder in a shrug, as if to say 'yeah you really should have'. ]

Would you prefer I counted to three and then did it?

[ She was an ass, yes, but in a warped way she'd tried to show Elena a kindness. Don't ask her to think on that for too long. ]

Well, how about that... [ There's a flicker of surprise in her eyes and it's fairly obvious she wasn't expecting that to happen. Her hed tilting to the side as she examined the blood spilling from the wound with a look of interest rather than concern. ]

Looks like you got shafted. [ All very matter of fact. ]
