[hello, we are at the pyre and staring at these posters. she is still smokey and doing her best, reading everything over with the deepest frown. but she notices someone moving from the corner of her eye and she turns her head, blinking in surprise before flagging her down.]

Laudna! [give her a second to cough up her wholeass lung.] Are you okay? [tell her about your bodydiving.]

[undread]

Hello, dear.

[she's in the midst of popping her shoulder back into its socket.]

My! They got one of them, too. [interesting. she will give aerith a smile, which is not that appropriate for the situation.]

I'm perfectly alright, but I took a bit of a tumble onto that fellow.

[pointing at the aventurine poster.]

[i honestly support laudna so much. but aerith looks a little concerned by this response, eyes drifting to her shoulder before she registers the actual words.]

You—huh!? [EXPLAIN THE TUMBLE] Tell me you don't mean that literally.

[undread]

[it's fine, it's fine. shoulder fixed. but yes, she's basically acting like she always acts, creepy cheerfulness.]

Quite literally. He was at the bottom of the trap door in the theater.

[residentflorist]

[that's fair. she is now just squinting.]

That's a pretty long way to fall. Could you tell how he got there at all? Or if he had both hands?

[undread]

I didn't think to check his hands, I'm afraid. Nor could I tell - but it certainly seemed like there had been a struggle in there.

[residentflorist]

And it was probably really dark down there...most people wouldn't think to check. If you hadn't fallen, we might have missed him.

[...wait.]

—did the fall hurt you? [is that why your shoulder was dislocated. ma'am?]

[undread]

It popped a few ligaments out of place, but that's not so uncommon for me.

[her body is not supposed to exist the way it does and can be a bit fragile.]

They'll pop right back.

[residentflorist]

[frowny.]

While that's convenient, please try to be careful while we're here...[but she shakes her head.] Think there was anything else down there that might explain how Aventurine got there?
