♗ Throwing caution to the wind...

[proclaimedrival]

[text;]

If there's a doctor in town, please! A young man has just collapsed in the Alchemy District and, if what the NPCs are telling me is to be believed, I don't think he's the only one. I've tried reviving him several times and it has no effect.

Once again; If there is a doctor here, please come forward!

[In the midst of all the confusion is one Kageno Jin-- and though he hasn't fallen asleep or ill, thank goodness, he can't help but feel just a little helpless in this situation. As a cleric, there was some kind of unspoken need to help these people, but his own repetoire of spells accomplished very little...

It's a relief somewhat, then, to come upon someone he knows in this confusion.]

...A... Another one...?

[proclaimedrival]

[it takes the apprentice bishop a few seconds to put a name to that face(?) but when he does-]

Oh! Thank goodness you're okay...

So there really are others. I was worried the NPCs were just acting strangely. We need to figure out how many others were affected. Maybe we'll find a solution that way. [a concerned look that even Hakuren cannot hide. What a peculiar turn of events]

[coilturn]

...I'm glad you're okay, too.

...From the looks of it... there's people collapsing all over town. It'll be hard to keep track of everyone... at this rate....

[proclaimedrival]

Is that so... What about your friend?

And I wonder if this guy knows anyone. I'd hate to just leave him lying here. [seriously, he's a twig. If someone stepped on him, he'd break or something (in Hakuren's mind at least)]

...Yuukoku... he's fine so far. I should probably check up on him again but--

2/2 I am terrible.

[what just happened?]

3/4

[proclaimedrival]

[stares in shock at the woman who had punted his fellow Cleric then over to the knocked down boy and back-]

[that really did just happen]

4/4 lol

[proclaimedrival]

Um...

[looks over to Kageno before turning back to Leviathan]

'Harpy'? [he'll give Kageno a free heal before this is done ;v; ]

[sirenspear]

[Over to who? Leviathan pays Kageno no mind, and Hakuren only slightly more, ALL ATTENTION locked on Mr. Collapsed Greeny]

Harpuia. My brother.

[proclaimedrival]

[...

... ...

Welp, this just got a whole lot more uncomfortable]

Your brother...? [then again, now that he got a look at the two of them, they were dressed alike] Then would you have any idea what happened? Or would you just like to have him back...?

[sirenspear]

[Her hard expression gives way for a more troubled look, just for the moment.] He did seem strangely tired this morning, but he hadn't said anything about it... Then I left him to rest here for a bit, to see if the shops had any more powerful healing items-- and heard about people collapsing, so I came back, and...

You're the one that found him here, right?

[proclaimedrival]

[a nod] That's right.

And despite my best efforts... [he conjures up a quick circle of Zaiphon to represent the magic in The World] I haven't been able to restore him to normal.

We should take him off the streets though. Where are you staying? Else I'll just leave him to you; there are probably others who need help.

[sirenspear]

[She shakes her head.] We've got a room set up in Canard, but don't worry about taking him back-- I'll manage fine with him alone, and you have a good point.

In any case, thank you for taking care of him for the moment. The effort's much appreciated.

1/2

[proclaimedrival]

[an apologetic smile] It's no problem. I'm just sorry I couldn't do more.

May God watch over you both. [helps Leviathan figure out a way to carry Harpuia on her own lightweight Twin Blade is lightweight!]
