[...Well, it looks like there's supposed to be video, but the screen is black.

[Audio-wise, you're privy to just a bunch of thrashing for a few seconds, catching a frantic and frustrated "god-DAMMIT" and "fuck fuck fuck" and "just move, you useless piece of shit!" It's a voice and string of expletives that should be familiar to some who know Rey. In general it sounds disconcerting, with an identifiable amount of metal clanging and other hefty objects hurling about (cue stock cat scream) -- before a heavy thud shakes the screen. The feed drags across what looks to be pavement and some scattered rubbish.]

Got you! Fucking finally...

[The video moves, but the feed remains a blur as Rey hadn't intended to select facetime before things got out of control -- by "things" meaning... her own body. Only a few details can be made out in the bleary visual quality, and that's a patch of red-orange scales and some sharp, gritting teeth.]

Need... help. [Despite her exhaustion made clear in the fraught audio and her labored breaths, it's speaking those words in particular that strains her the most.]

Have to come here. Level Three.

Legs're gone. Can't walk.

[Both the audio and visual then cuts abruptly. As you can tell, Rey is having a bad time this Sanguis cycle.]

"Some other shit"?

Teeth? A split tongue? A need to squeeze vulnerable prey?

...

[snort] Last one doesn't sound too far from normal.

But no. Sharper teeth and claws, usually -- smell, too.

Is that how you like them? Squishy?

( laughs. )

Smell? Sense of or would that be your own?

Well, ah. No preference, at the moment.

[Slowly she's calmed down a little bit with some time and help. Maybe that's helped with her not flailing around like a dying fish, but Rey will take what victories she can get.]

Ugh... Sense, thank fuck. Cordis types are the ones who have the latter problem.

Oh? At the moment?

( sometimes you just need a distraction and someone to talk about literally anything else. )

Why don't I come find you and you can tell me about it in person? I am new in town and I need a lot of help. So much, in fact.

[If it's one thing Rey needs, it's distractions, so she doesn't mind taking up on the offers after her call... After all, she's hardly the social butterfly but she did ask for it. So she's quiet at first, and then:]

Sure, why not. Beats crawling into a dumpsterfire and wishing for the world to burn. [She might be only half-joking about that.] Won't be giving any tours during Sanguis, though.

After that, surely. I want a whole grand tour.

Maybe even with different voices. To make it exciting.

( like how you read a storybook to children. )

Now, where can I find you?

[Rey could probably pull off the many accents, at least.]

Had some help to get around. Just enough to make it to the bar. [Insert sections to seedy Level 3 neighborhood bar here, just the way Rey likes it.]

Not a bad decision.

I'll find you shortly. I doubt there will be too many snake women around to pick from.

[Oh yeah, she'll be an easy one to find for sure -- just look for the snake woman in the corner who is just Done with life.]
