Around them the party was starting to loosen up naturally as most changelings made acquaintances and began separating into small groups. The conversations began blending with the music forming a scene as close to normality as most of the lost could manage, a taste of life and humanity that for many had been crushed and twisted.

Just when this was reaching a crescendo, with a few braver fairest even starting a dance off, one of the doors that led to the hedge sprung open. At first nothing seemed to happen but slowly as something staggered through the crowd, horrified silence began to reign. The mass of new bloods began parting like the red sea and finally a figure in a tattered cloak emerged, one paw-like limb extended as it continued staggering its way through the room actually shoving through the conversing group of Bruce, Alex, and Andrew from behind and leaving a trail of wet burgundy paw prints in its wake. Then it turned, some keen sense picking up on a sound, it turned toward the levenquick attached to the wall.

“Maaax … Help … please†the figure said no more, went limp and tumbled to the floor. When it did the cloak fell open and pooled about the figure revealing fox like changeling with alabaster skin as well as silver hair, tail, and ears all merled through with black and shades of other grey. Her mostly human face still had a decidedly vulpine cast to the features, though right now it was twisted into a grimace of pain while claret blood oozed from multiple injuries mostly on her limbs and torso but also a really nasty one on her head that bathed half her face in crimson while her life blood leaked, forming a expanding puddle around her.

(alright, first roll of the game people! Remember we roll 10 sided dice. 8,9, & 10 are successes and if you roll a 10 re roll it
ex: 10 - 8 - 8 - 4 – 3 > 10 > 2

I am looking for a resolve + composure roll to over come the shock and see if you know anything about this person Rick max can take a + 2 on top of that since she seems to know him)

The atmosphere, and general flow of the gathering, seemed to explode into chaos as the blood-drenched vixen Changeling crashed through the Hedge-gate and into the Hollow, only to collapse at the feet of the seemingly bio-mechanical Levinquick with the rabbit-eared television in place of a head. Bruce, although he was already standing, seemed to spring up as she appeared. He stared, wide-eyed at the spectacle, then to Alex and Andrew. “You both saw that, right?â€

Bruce rolls Resolve + Composure (5 dice)
7 - 1 - 5 - 10 - 10 > 8 - 8 = 4 successes.

As out there as he was, when someone stumbles into a room, covered and blood and calling out his name, he would notice. He unplugged himself from the wall, bringing an abrupt end to his conversation with....whatever the hell it was that he was talking to. His focus shifted to the figure at his feet as he stood all the way up. It was a familiar face no doubts there but he was having a little trouble putting a name to the face. "Ummm...there a doctor in the house?" he asked after cranking up the volume control for his tv head.

Alex hissed as the cloaked figure shoved in between himself, Bruce and Andrew. But his sense's went to high alert as the figure collapsed to a heap after calling for Max, the one plugged into the wall. Blood pooled around her vixen face and limp body. Skirting around Bruce and Andrew, Alex began to investigate the woman.

Though he'd crouched at first, as the scent of blood grew stronger, Alex automatically shifted to all fours. His tail was held low and whipped from side to side in warning. Unable to help in medical treatment, Alex gently rubbed his head against the woman, trying to offer comfort.

Stretching his arms forward Andrew rebalanced to keep himself afoot. Looking looked toward the vulpine woman and back to the hedge gate, he couldn’t help but wonder who she was. With her coming through that specific gate it seemed unlikely she had just escaped the fae. Approaching her, he wasn’t sure what to do. With so many wounds he couldn’t really apply pressure to just one and expect real benefit.

“Is she still awake?”

[HIDE]Alex rolls resolve + composure (6 dice)
8 - 1 - 9 - 3 - 3 – 4 > 8 – 9 = 2 successes[/HIDE]

Andrew and Bruce had never seen or heard of this changeling before, both noticed she bared no mantle from any court though.

Alex had seen her once, one of the summers looking after him had stopped by a hollow in the hedge on the way to the forge. He met her there, they seemed to be romantically involved.

Max remembered the vixen after a moment. Her name was Sella Grissoul , a courtless changeling who lived almost exclusively in the hedge and frequently was paid for services as a guide. The last time Max saw her infact was a few weeks ago, she had guided himself and another autumn courtier into an abandoned fortress to search for lost documents, she was paid well for her services and in this case even better for not sharing her find with the winter court just yet.

He kneeled down to get a closer look, poking her with one of his plug fingers a few times. "Hey Sella... you can get up now. As far as pranks go not exactly what I would consider in good taste so come on get up." he said still poking her. "Seriously it ain't funny that enough of that." He cautiously stuck one of his fingers into the blood on the ground, really hoping that it wasn't what he thought it was. "****, it ain't ketchup."

He cranked up the volume on his tv head to it's maximum. "HEY I REALLY HATE TO INTERRUPT THIS LITTLE PARTY BUT JUST BECAUSE I HAVE A TV FOR A FACE DOES NOT MEAN IVE WATCHED ENOUGH SHOWS WITH DOCTORS TO KNOW HOW TO PATCH THIS UP. SOMEONE MIGHT WANNA COME OVER HERE AND HANDLE THIS BEFORE THE CARPET IS COMPLETELY MESSED UP." he said, before turning the dial back down to normal. "Seriously someone might wanna handle that."

Alex recalled seeing one of his mentors with the fallen one. "Mate perhaps?" Alex mused, only to cover his ears as Max maxed out the volume on his speakers and yelled into the party.

Alex looked up at the walking TV. "I know basic medicine." With that said, Alex began to look for something to slow the bleeding. "Need something to wrap her wounds with." Alex said to no one in particular. He was focused on trying to help the fallen Sella.

“‘Scuse me,” said Bruce. “‘Old me ‘at, son.” He took off the dark red cowboy hat and tossed it to Andrew, then strode across the room to where Sella was dying, in hysterics, right in front of Max. “‘Ere, Rabbit-ears, ‘elp me wrap ‘er cloak ‘round ‘er.” He set about checking the fallen vixen’s body and attempting with what very little he knew of medicine (learnt from experiences performing first aid to idiots who decided to get brave on the stage props) to stop the bleeding and make her calm and comfortable until proper assistance could arrive. “It’s all right, love, Brucey the Wonderful’s ‘ere now!” He looked towards Alex. “And ‘is sidekick, Lizard-Boy, if ‘e’s up for it!”

Bruce rolls Dexterity + Medicine (3 dice)
8 - 10 - 1 - 9 = 3 successes.

Alex stepped back to allow Bruce to take over. "Be happy to help you, Bruce."
