I need help.

[ It's not the kind of comment one might normally expect out of Blake; usually so independant, and reluctant to rely on others for help. But there's a barely restrained panic in her voice that she's only mostly keeping under control as she tries to be clinical and informative about what she's facing. ]

My friend, Yang... some of you will know her. Lots of blonde hair, prosthetic, yellow muscle car. Likes to make dumb puns.

She-- she fell asleep and won't wake up again. I think she's turning into a Husk. There's a layer of metal on her skin and hair.

[ A pause as Blake audibly draws breath to compose herself. ]

Do we know anything about how to reverse the process?

Well, I can help with both of those things!

[There’s a sound like something whooshing over the radio.]

Just gimme a sec to find you.
faceguy: (these desperate times)

Gotcha. Uno momento!

[And then there is a matching whoosh as Leo steps through a shimmering portal not far from Blake’s van.]

Hey!
faceguy: (cause baby i'm gifted)

[personal profile] faceguy 2025-07-09 10:00 pm (UTC)(link)
Since I was fourteen. [His answer is casual as he walks over to the back of the van, taking a glance inside. Poor Yang...] I'm sixteen now, by the way.

[He can see what Blake meant now, about Yang becoming a husk; the eerie stillness is unsettling, given what he knows of her. His eyes turn sad for a moment, before he tries to shake that off for Blake's sake.]

I'm guessing she hasn't changed at all.
faceguy: (floating through the atmosphere)

[Unfortunately, Leo has had to grow up very fast. His father tried hard to save him from it, but life doesn't always go how we want.]

...Well, we'll keep her close. So she'll see smiling faces when she finally wakes up.

[He hopes that's soon. He hopes she doesn't just... disappear, like some people have. He doesn't know what happened to them, the ones who are gone. He wonders if it's too much to wish they just went home.]
faceguy: (hey kids)

[personal profile] faceguy 2025-07-16 03:28 am (UTC)(link)
[They already have a shift schedule worked out? That's good. He feels a little better about it now.]

I have, and, uh... not a lot of nightlife going on here, unless you count the usual monsters.

[He sighs, letting his own eyes trail up to the skyscrapers above them.]

I'm from a city like this. Well, not like this, but... [He shrugs.] Yang would like it.
faceguy: (hey kids)

[personal profile] faceguy 2025-07-17 04:20 am (UTC)(link)
I don't blame you. [Leo looks over at Yang again.] If it were Donnie, I wouldn't want to leave, either.

[And isn't this like what they said before? Leo folds his arms over his chest as he remembers a different conversation, awhile ago.]

Me and Dee... kiiinda chickened out of one of the fights awhile back. When there was that big tower thing? [He shrugs.] I told him then that this is why there's so many of us, right? So we can cover for each other when someone else can't go out.

[That's not exactly what he said then, but he'll phrase it this way for Blake now.]
faceguy: (right hand to god)

[personal profile] faceguy 2025-07-20 04:50 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, maybe. [Leo hasn't thought about that sort of thing. It's not really on his radar, but...] I've been watching for clothes and stuff. I'll add books to the list. If I find any I can let you know.

[He knows she was looking at some of the books and journals from this world before.]
