Priestly had spent ages preparing his outfit. Though he'd performed as "Sentience Freenik" a few times already, the Metronome's open mic drag night was kiiiind of a big deal in the drag community, and he was looking at it as Sentience's "coming out", as it were.

He certainly got plenty of double takes and strange looks as he, Dinah, Mark, and Tia walked to the club. Really, it was like they'd never seen a grown, bearded man wearing a bright yellow lacy dress before.

"Man," Mark said. "You look like you took a bath in blended canary."

Priestly stared at him. "That might be the most horrifying thing you've ever said to me."

"That can't possibly be true."

Tia smacked Mark upside the head. "I'm totally stealing that dress from you later," she said.

Priestly grinned. "Awww, thanks!"

Dinah has choke-laughed at the 'canary' mention, and now reached over to poke Priestly's shoulder. "You look marvelous, dahling. The audience won't know what hit them. I'm taking video to send to everybody." Jaime hadn't remembered who Sentience was, so this had to happen. "As per usual!"

Dinah was turning red in the twilight, so she leaned over to poke at Mark. "Groupies is so twentieth-century. We're his audience, thank you."

Dinah sent a mass text to everyone who knew Priestly in New Gotham, and all their friends outside of it:

Priestly hit by car, in NG hospital, in surgery. Broken leg / road rash / concussion

Saved a girl's life, pushed her out of car's way

Surgery taking forever but he is stable. Docs think will be OK




[ooc: and open for anyone who gets this, as you'd expect.]

THAT happened. Is still happening.

Car going too fast, girl not looking where she was going, Priestly being Big Damn Hero & getting hurt

I am walking around the hospital. And around and around and around and around

You don't have to but would be awesome

It'd taken awhile for Mark and Tia to get to the hospital, having spent the hour talking to the police and keeping the girl Priestly had pushed out of the way company while they waited for her parents to come get her. And then there was walking to the hospital, since neither of them had a car.

"There she is," Tia said when she spotted Dinah. She waved her arm in the air and rushed over, Mark trailing coolly behind. (Tia was going to hit him if he didn't show any emotion before the night was over. Just on principle.) "Dinah. How is he?"

"Stable. That's all they'll tell me." Dinah was vibrating with caffeine and frustration. "He's been in surgery just about since he got here. Something about bolts?" Ugh. Ugh. Ugh. She gave Mark a nod, and gestured around them. "I've been walking around the hospital perimeter, and checking in every fifteen minutes, just about. I think the nurses want to kill me."

Jaime's mother was a nurse, so he could read between the lines on some of that. So he didn't panic. But that didn't change his response.

I can grab a portal within the hour. You got somewhere for me to crash?

Karla was already snapping at Warren to contact Portalocity, that if they gave her layovers she would shave every last person on staff.

Does he need a Healer?! Well, obviously he needed a Healer. But if it was a question of life or death, Karla had no problem interrupting his surgery and healing him immediately.

Pretty sure not, but will tell you if am wrong

Leg looks like worst of it, clipped him as he pushed the girl out of the way

But a double-check when you get here? Always good. Thank you thank you thank you

"Hey, Sous. How're you feeling?" Dinah's outside voice was very quiet, in case that concussion was still making his head hurt. Her inside voice wasn't any louder: Okay if I crash in your room tonight?
heromaniac: (huh what)

Priestly was talking to Jaime so Momoko took the chance to sit next to Dinah. She reached an arm over her BFF's shoulder and tried to tug Dinah into a hug.

Posted by [personal profile] weldedtomyspine
After chatting with Priestly for a bit, Jaime wandered over and laid a hand on Dinah's shoulder, squeezing slightly. Hey, you. How you holding up?
heromaniac: (hello door)

Jaime and Momoko had literally flown in from their portal but it was still this late that they'd arrived. Some convincing of the staff had to happen, but finally Momoko was inching open the door to Priestly's room and peeking inside, Jaime right behind her.

"Hello?" she whispered into the room.
weldedtomyspine: (a bit distracted)
Posted by [personal profile] weldedtomyspine
Jaime stepped into the room right behind Momoko, lifting his hand in a silent wave rather than say anything.

With any luck people would be unconscious because it was late, and had been a stressful evening. Obviously. But some people were bad about sleeping when they were supposed to, so... well, he'd see.

Karla dropped her sight shield as soon as she passed through the door to Priestly's room. Some nurse had tried to stop her and tell her that visiting hors were long over. Which--ahahaha, like Karla cared about that. But she had conceded that arguing with the woman would have taken longer than she cared to waste, so she pretended to wander off before just using Craft to get to Priestly's room unbothered.

At some point it got late enough, well, early enough, really, that Jaime was pretty sure everyone had drifted off to sleep. So he snuck out of the room. Khaji'Da had pulled a reference photo from Dinah's phone, and an exhaustive, alien computer-driven internet search had revealed a shop in London selling what Jaime thought was the same dress second-hand. A quick round-trip across the Atlantic and Jaime was slipping a yellow dress into one of the drawers in Priestly's room. Hopefully where a nurse or someone would put the rest of his things.

Given that Jaime hadn't thought to even check the size, it was actually pretty good luck that it was only one size too big. Maybe no one would notice?
