Felicity stares at him, grasping the seriousness of the situation. She doesn't know what to say for a while, shaking her head slightly. I'm not even safe here. I should've known, everywhere, there's always someone. Why is that?
Her first instinct is to leave, but of course that wouldn't accomplish anything. Besides, it's not like the Seraphim is there already. So she ignores it and nods calmly, though finding it a bit harder to breathe. "...Okay." She pauses for a second. "Is.. has he shown up here often? Or was that... the only time?"

*Maggie watches Felicity's face in reaction to what Luke is telling her. Every time, she hates to see it, to see the fear that the Seraphim can inflict on them all without even being present.*
*She frowns and drops her gaze again at Felicity's questions. The answers only get worse.* He's ... been here before. Several times *she swallows* he attacked within this place, before Tavin found some means te keep him out.
And then .. *her voice wavers, but she makes herself continue* He found other ways te reach us ...

*Luke is watching Felicity's reactions too - and Maggie's. He hates seeing their reactions just as much. He realizes that he's scaring Felicity - which means she believes him and she needs to be scared to be to some degree - but ...*
This guy's... *picks up where Maggie's left off* He's found ways to get to the people here. But -- the guy's not invincible. *adds* No one is invincible. The Seraphim has attacked other people in here, and those people have survived to tell about it.
*thinks for a moment and says* You'll meet someone here named Tavin. He's been trying to teach us ways to protect ourselves and other people in here.
*makes an uncomfortable noise and manages something of a sympathetic look to Felicity* I'm sorry to have to be the one to tell you this s**t. But ... there's a lot of questions that go unanswered around here. And I wish someone had warned me when I first came here, you know?

"No, that's fine... it's better you tell me now than let me find out by myself." Felicity knew that encounter wouldn't go well.
She sighed, trying to think about this rationally. Truthfully, she didn't want to be in the Brink anymore. It had always been a small nuisance to her, but hearing that there was someone here threatening the lives of everyone in it did nothing to make the idea more welcome to her. She shakes her head slightly, thinking for a moment, then turns back to Luke and Maggie.
"Is there any way to get away from him, or at least avoid him as long as possible?" she asked. "Incase I don't meet this Tavin anytime soon."

*Luke responds attentively to her questions.* Good, I'm glad you asked that. *Luke looks to Maggie and back at Felicity.* We're still figuring it out ourselves, everything about this place.
I don't have a lot of answers, but I'll tell you what I do know. .... We don't have a choice about when this place pulls us in. It sucks, but we don't. But you've got your key that I told you about. You can choose to leave here at any time, through that door. So that's an escape.
Other than that, I'll be honest. Aside from getting out of here, being alert, and keeping an eye out ... I don't know a rock solid, foolproof way to keep away from him. I'm still asking a lot of questions around here. But ... *He looks to Maggie and back at her, with a small shrug.* This is what we've got right now.
*after a moment* I will tell you one thing. A lot of people are here know about the Seraphim now. They don't want anything to do with the b*****d, so most of us look out for each other. That's something.

Felicity nods, listening. "Thanks. That's nice to know... I'll try to look out for people, too. As far as I know, there's still at least one person who hasn't heard about any of that.... Have you met a Mr. Gunsinger yet?" she asks, looking at him. "'Cause if you see him before I do, you might let him know about this."

*Luke makes a noise.* Gunsinger ... *says condescendingly* You mean the guy who gets jumpy and likes to point his gun at people?

"That's him." Felicity nods, agreeing with both Luke's description and Maggie's speculation. "But you know he has a reason to be like that. Just have to get used to it, I guess." She shrugs indifferently. "Anyway, he should know about this too."

*A sigh/growl sounds against Luke's closed mouth before he says.* Yeah, well, maybe if the crazy mother ******** hadn't pulled a gun on me, I'd have told him in the first place.

*Maggie winces in sympathy. It seems she wasn't the only one Gunsinger reacted to in that same manner. Still ... * He does have a right te know. *she concedes, a little uneasily* E'eryone who comes here does ...

"Hm." Felicity looks down for a second. "Well, we're living in different times. Believe me, pulling a gun on someone probably isn't out of the ordinary for where Gunsinger comes from." She had to admit he'd probably overreacted, but she could understand why. "I don't condone what he does, but he's got a reason."
"Anyway... Like Maggie said, everyone deserves to know."

*Yeah, "reason", my a**. However, even Luke had to concede that the ladies had a point...* Yeah.
Well... *looks to Felicity* I'm only one man, babe. I'm working on telling people as I see them - but we need to pass the word around. I was hoping you could help me out with that.
