VOICE 006。

[ FILTERED AWAY FROM A. J. CROWLEY, 100% HACKABLE ]
[ The entire voice post is spoken shakily; there are sobs throughout and it's obvious that Nodoka is distressed and in pain. ]

I-I... I have to tell you, b-but... Nngh... Please, d-don't trust Crowley-san, okay? He - th-there are people telling him to hurt others, y-you can't... Can't trust him,

[ ... He doesn't know who she means, but... ]

M-Miss Nodoka, w-what happened?!

[libraria]

Nngh, Carl-san... Be careful of a man named Crowley, o-okay?

[cantataofgrace]

... M-Miss Nodoka, I... what happened? Why? Do you need me to help you?

[libraria]

No, I-I'm fine... [ She doesn't want to trouble anyone, even when she hurts this bad. ] Just be safe, okay? You and Ada-san.

[cantataofgrace]

... Miss Nodoka, tell me what he did to you. Please... you don't sound okay at all.

[ He's worried. And he's going to, like, find this guy and... maim him, he swears. ] ... Sis and I can handle ourselves... I know I may not look it, but I'm a vigilante. I've fought much tougher criminals, so we'll be fine.

[libraria]

I... I-I can't really remember, Carl-san. I'm sorry.

[ She can't reply to the last bit. Brave and strong, just like Negi. ]

[cantataofgrace]

... It's okay. Where are you? Can you give any specific landmarks...? I... please, let me at least help you...

[ Someone as kind as Ada was didn't deserve this. He can tell in her voice she's been hurt. ]

[libraria]

I-I'm on my way to the park, Carl-san. I... If you want to come and see me, that's okay. I don't want to b-bother you.

[cantataofgrace]

... T-that's nearby, I'm coming to help...

[ And he hangs up with that, racing as quickly as he can towards the part, a hand over his tophat. ]

[libraria]

[ Nodoka's just sitting, waiting for him ;; ]

[ACTION]

[cantataofgrace]

[ Carl appears a short while later. Though, how he does might be... a bit unexpected: in Nirvana's lap, her arm across him, the marionette appears with a loud thud to the ground, and Carl steps off. Nirvana straightens up, going back to being in awake, but not standby, making electronic noises as it's bowed over. Carl, of course, during the entire, HUGE jump, was holding his hat. He extends his hand to her. ]

... M-Miss Nodoka, you're really hurt... here, let me help you up, okay...?

[ He's really worried about her, dude. Those marks on her neck do not look good. ]

[libraria]

[ Nodoka smiles weakly at Carl; she must not cry in front of the Shota. Number one rule. She slowly gets to her feet, gently rejecting his offer to help her. She'd be far to heavy for him, or so she thinks. ]

Thank you, Carl-san.

[cantataofgrace]

... This is really bad... hopefully the nurse can help you. ... Just stay here, then, okay? Hey, Sis...?

[ ... She was hurt far worse than he'd even originally thought; he knew minor stuff, but he couldn't use Ars Magus to heal people. So he'd have to improvise with what he COULD do. The marionette is quiet, but looks at him. ]

Listen, this is really important, okay...? ... Uh-huh. Yeah, that's what I'm going to do--I don't want to lift her; it might make the injuries worse. So I'm going to use our ability instead. ... I've never done it from this far before, b-but... it should work! ... Thanks!

[ He turns to Nodoka, looking determined. ] ... Please stay with my sister, okay? Just... rest on her... and please don't let go. This will only take me a second, I promise! You're too hurt to walk anywhere, so I'm going to get you there quicker.

[ He doesn't mention how much energy this is going to take, but rushes off in the direction of Juri's clinic without another word. What on earth is he planning? ]

[libraria]

I--I won't, b-but-- Please, Carl-san, please be safe!

[ Nodoka just does as she's told, watching out after him with a worried expression. ]

[cantataofgrace]

[ Don't worry, you won't have any problems. Carl rushes towards Juri's clinic as quick as he can. From where he is outside, he gages the distance. ]

O-okay, I think I can do this.

[ A breath. Time for La Campanella, then. ]

Ada!

[ And with movement, both Marionette and girl are transported right behind him. ... Phew, that was tiring, though; he's never done it that far before. Maybe... 30% of his energy? He'd definitely be screwed if a battle came around. And cool as ever, he gives her a worried smile. ]

... Come on, let's get you inside.

[libraria]

[ Nodoka's eyes are closed tight for a moment but, at the sound of his voice, they open slowly. ]

Ah-! That was amazing, Carl-san!

[ She gives him a weak smile back, working her way into the clinic. ]
