Eighth [Action/Voice]
[Action]
[There was one brief moment where Fate (more or less) knew exactly what was going on: something (or maybe it was everything) was tearing apart inside of her. It was worse than any kind of pain she'd ever felt, and it only intensified as those few seconds seemed to stretch into an eternity. She tried to scream, but then... everything went black.
... And then she woke up.
The scream that had been building before that moment tore from her throat as she catapulted awake, eyes darting around in a panic. That... was that whole thing a dream? Was the stress of Nanoha's disappearance getting to her? What the hell was that hissing noise?
Fate looked down, and was surprised to find herself surrounded by snakes. Before she could react, one lashed out, sinking its fangs right into her arm. Instantly, a feeling of dread overtook her; she couldn't explain it, but it was almost like there was a voice in her head warning her about something. Before she could wonder what it was, a flash of those last moments before she blacked out crossed her mind; a point of light, Flandre's fanged grin, that agonizing pain as she was torn apart.
That.... that wasn't a dream, was it?
As the snakes slithered away, Fate leaned forward, curling into an upright fetal position. She... she died? That couldn't be. She was still here. But there was no way she could survive something that painful...
Anyone wandering near the area where all newbies wake up might notice Fate, clutching her head and trying to keep herself from sobbing.]

[After Fate calms down a bit, she makes her way over to the Vine. She's still not totally calm, though, and her voice shakes as she speaks.]
Signum, Hayate, Vita... I need help.
