Having only just woken up Sebastian rubs the side of his face as he exits the shops vent, pulling the Scrambler through behind him. Still half asleep and not feeling 100% it's better to take it with him than not.
Right... Spencer. He should... Check on- Oh, well, the locker is open. Great. He'll have to chase that little bastard down another time. How many times can this guy be saved by the turmoil of the Blacksite's residents?
In checking the area around his shop Sebastian's eyes land on a side room, one of the offices. Usually these closed quicker than the main doors... Why is this one open?
Poking his head around the corner the shopkeep is surprised to see his friend here and not scuttled away in the shop being this close.
"Cali...? Why are you out here? Why are... You covered in so much blood...?"
He's nervous to approach with the state they seem to be in-- A tired fish man isn't the most nimble if something gets thrown in his direction.

Cali had been so caught up in their head they didn't hear Sebastian's approach until he was already speaking. They flinched and spun around to face him, hand already gripping their flash beacon.
Everything below their neck was covered in their own blood, and a portion of their PDG gear was missing, blown off. Their eyes wide with a form of panic before they calm down at the sight of their friend, they visably relax some and let go of the flash beacon.
" You're awake... "
Their voice is hoarse and shakey, and they internally cringe as soon as the words come out.
They clear their throat, trying to sound more level-headed.
" I...didn't want to wake you so I waited here. As for the blood- "
They look down at their bloodied suit. They barely felt any pain. One moment they were writing and the next, everything was dark.
" They detotnated my fucking gear and I- "
" I panicked. I had a token though. But I ran back closer to the shop thinking the Scrambler would protect me. "
" I don't know how they found me, I don't even know why they would detonate my gear! I haven't done anything. Not that they know of!"
They rant, trying to reason with it. They dont know. They don't anything of why and it scared them. What did others know that they didn't?!
It's clear they're still stuck in their head.
