Petal 6 - Video

Oct 16, 2010 13:03

[The video comes on to show Aya and Umi sitting back to back. Wrapped around them are wires meant to look like rose vines with long thorns. Along the vines are red and white roses. Both are already bleeding. Aya is the first to stir and look around. His eyes narrow as he glances back to see Umi.] Umi. You need to wake up.

Wha...? Ouch. Eh ( Read more... )

let's play a game, need medical attention, flowers can be deadly, cursed, umi, umi can't use magic, dangerous games

[Some labored breathing after awhile when Aya can actually get to the device to answer people.]

I haven't figured that out yet... But we're in an alley...

How injured are you two?

Umi lost more blood than I did. She needs help.

We both need a hospital though.

[ Clearly there is an order of operations to be followed here. By now, Clef has the 'rescuing young girls' thing down to a science, so the default plan only need be altered slightly to account for an unknown location, the possibility of there being wounds requiring greater medical attention than he can provide on the field, and the possible presence of backup - the latter potentially of a dubious nature.

Injured parties might need to be carried so he should be ready to summon if there is a dire need - check. Presea should also come along and bring a sword, just in case.

Right. Good thing he keeps a reasonably well-stocked first-aid kit in a messenger bag for just these sorts of situations. ]

Where are you?

[ The question is asked flatly, more of a statement than a question.

Not that Clef expects any useful answer. That would make things easy. ]

[ Maybe he should plan to-- oh, whatever!

Bugger.

PRESEA!

[ Today is a bad day. It's not even teatime and already I want to punch something. ]

[It'd happened again... She'd almost allowed herself to forget the last time it'd happened. This once it was even more horrible. What it involved...

Shaking her head, Umi tried to hold back the rage and anguish that the sole idea of what the City had done... what the curse itself had just suggested she should do... No, it was far too much! She gritted her teeth as both the loss of blood and anger made her feel dizzy. She'd NEVER let it end in that way! What she'd promised Ken burned inside her mind. She wouldn't let herself get killed here, and least of all lose Aya to this...!

Still turned to face him, she did her best to gather her determination and hold his stare without seeming faint.]

So much for magic, then... [She bit her lip at the thought.] Dammit! This place... It really thought of EVERYTHING...

It would have.

[Umi was losing more blood than he was due to her smaller size. He had to get them out before she lost too much. Forcing himself to clear his head, he looked at the trap carefully.]

Do you have a lock on your side?

...Ehh? [For the first time Umi broke eye-contact with Aya (even if she was almost afraid to do so) to have a look at the trap wrapped around them. She grimaced.] ...Roses... What sort of sick mind-?!

[Then her eyes widened.] Yeah! ...Here, among the petals of this one!

[Impulsively she turned to Aya again, and immediately regretted it as the thorns were driven deeper into her side.] ...Damn! ...D-do you have one too?

[That movement drove the thorns deeper into him as well and he winced.]

Try not to move so much, Umi. Just stay calm. [Then he nodded.] Yes. I have a lock too.

[Supporting most of Umi's weight, and ignoring all protests about the fact that he was, Aya kept them moving. It was a very slow pace but he couldn't afford to have them sit and wait for help. Ken would understand that and hopefully Umi's friends would too.

Moving down the alley, he headed for the direction that he hoped would lead straight to the hospital.]

[...There were little protests, as it was. Umi herself was too busy doing her best to keep Aya standing, even if somewhere in the back of her mind she understood she wasn't being as much help as she wished to be. It didn't matter. Feeling she was helping him as much as he was helping her kept her going. As did the need to get him to safety soon.]

[Ken was sure they'd hear him coming as his bike wasn't exactly quiet. Still, he breathed a soft sigh of relief when they came into view. Even before the bike settled, he was off of it, already moving to take Umi's weight from Aya and gently move her a little more into the dim light so he could assess her injuries a bit better, already tugging a strip from the bottom of his shirt for a bandage.]

Holy crap, you two. You don't do anything halfway, do you?

[Aya chuckled and went to lean against a wall.]

It would be too easy if we went halfway.

Voice - Naturally this post is only noticed HOURS after the events actually occurred eagleofautozam October 17 2010, 01:11:59 UTC
[Eagle was some how distracted by something else… ^,^””

He sounds calm as he speaks but he is actually very worried about this.]

You were able to escape that situation, weren’t you?

[Hopes for a satisfactory answer. ]

Voice - from the hospital then! 1/2 soulofocean October 17 2010, 02:21:56 UTC
[After being given medical attention and a substantial transfusion, Umi's only consolation since she was separated from Aya has been that they let her keep her Network device on the bedside table of her hospital room.

Weak as she is, and agonizing over news about her brother, she still manages to reach for the communicator and reply. They've told her he's out of danger. But that's hardly enough. Maybe whoever it is can expand on that information. Maybe it's even Ken!]

[It's with no little surprise than even in her dizzy state she recognizes the voice.]

...Eagle?

Hello, Umi.

[A weak voice, but… responding that was good. ]

If you can respond then you must have made it out of that situation?
