~Gabriel~

The phone rings only once as it is automatically picked up on the other line.

"9-1-1, what is your emergency?" comes a near-squawking tone from the other end of the line.

"Uh. Yeah, hi. I'm down at the Paradise Theater and I just witnessed a boy in his mid-teens take a pretty nasty fall," Gabriel explained to the emergency operator. He rushed down the stairs from the projector room, past a disheartened looking man in a shabby suit, and into the theater below. "I'm not sure of his condition at the moment, but it can't be good..."
As he walked towards the others gathered around Vincent, he called out to them. "Is he alright?"
Gabriel didn't get too close before he saw the slime covering the boy. He took a step back. "What in the name Hades... Hello, operator? He seems to be covered in mucus or something; I'm not sure where it came from."

After confirming that the boy was indeed still breathing but still quite rattled, the operator advises Gabriel to not allow him to move until the paramedics arrive.

"The paramedics are on their way sir. Do you want me to stay on the line with you until they arrive?"
 

Vincent awakens, groggy.

"What -- what happened?" the boy says, rubbing the back of his neck.

OOC: Majin, did Vincent notice anything additional due to his Second Sight, or was what he saw because of his Second Sight?

[sblock]Insight - No nothing out of the ordinary, besides everything he saw. :p But he felt or saw nothing familiar with regards to his psychic abilities.[/sblock]
 

"No, thank you. I'll make sure he doesn't strain himself," Gabriel replied to the operator.
Gabriel looked again at the slime covering Vincent after hanging up his phone. Coolant? he thought, looking up at the ceiling. It could be possible that the HVAC ran above where Vincent had fallen, but Gabriel was having trouble identifying the goo covering the kid as mechanical waste.
"Are you alright?" Gabriel asked, kneeling down a stride away from Vincent. "Don't move around too much; the paramedics are on their way..."
 

The scaffolding was high, but Roger climbed down so quickly it felt like a stepping stool. He would definitely need to know what was in that room. As he approached Vincent he saw the slime. More he couldn't explain, but the boy had to come first.

"Don't move around too much; the paramedics are on their way..."

He knew too well that not moving wasn't an option when you were positioned so uncomfortably over a chair, so he hurried over to Vincent.

"What -- what happened?" the boy says, rubbing the back of his neck.

"So your neck hurts? Where else? And don't turn your head."

Hearing Vincent speak made him hopeful. His consciousness was yet a third thing Roger couldn't explain, but least this one he could chalk up to youth, luck, and possibly shock. He began to look Vincent over to see if he could do anything in the way of first aide or if it was at least safe to get him to the isles where he could lay down.
 

Steven follow the group into the room and look at Vincent. "Whoa! That's is impressive. You are all right? What is the trick? Hey! You think the girl who fall form the scaffolding did the same thing than him?"
 

Pete stands in the back of the theater, rubbing his unshaven jaw, wondering the exact same thing.

I can't believe they sent another volunteer up there with any safety equipment," he thinks, incredulous. Then he starts to get a little angry. Where is this Sara Landry, anyway? He spins on his heel and stalks back into the lobby, looking to give her a piece of his mind.

Pete returns to the lobby and heads towards the door that he had previously learned held Sara Landry. Half way across the lobby floor the door opens and Sara exits, regarding him with a slight smile, the expression fading quickly on her face as she notices the commotion by the theater doors. She looks at Pete, "What has happened? Please do not say it's happened again," she says urgently, shaking her head as she rushes to him, closing the short distance between them.
