(Fate slowly but surely starts to come around. She looks around and doesn't recognize her surroundings.)

Where...am I?...

Glad to see you're awake, roomie. [There's an Eri sitting there, nursing some wounds.]

What happe-

(It is then that the fight with Lucas rushes back to her. She looks down a bit.)

I wasn't able to beat him. And if you are here then I wasn't able to save anyone...I'm sorry Eri.

[Eri sighed, went over to the girl and reached out to pinch her cheeks.] Smile smile! We'll get through this. And they took us prisoner, along with a lot of people so we'll just break out later.

Besides. I don't think Nanoha would want her Fate to be all depressed.

[lightning_1]

Alright. I'll try.

(Fate blushes a little at the mention of Nanoha. Sadly that blush soon disappears as a sad thought crosses her mind.)

How do you think Hana's taking this all?

[marinefashion]

Knowing Hana, blaming herself. But... I would too in her position. But I know that there's good people who'll probably help her through it. I can bet that she'll be on the front lines.

Best case scenario, Dita's grabbed all the mecha pilots she can and has made a plan, spearheaded around the Super Vandread. Lets see... Hana for firepower, Lily maybe for more of that. Charles for more firepower, Sora for defensive capabilities and Tatsu for the defensive capabilities. Yeah, that sounds reasonable.

[Eri leaned back, kicking up her feet.] I'm not going to panic just yet.

[lightning_1]

(Fate thinks about and nods a bit. She is still worried about Hana but for now they needed to come up with a plan.)

That sounds reasonable. However there is one question that will effect both the rescue plan and the escape plan. Where are we? I was unconscious until just a moment ago. The last thing I remember is Lucas slamming me into a ceiling.

[marinefashion]

Some kind of Adventus holding facility. No one seems to be treated poorly, and we've got neighbors.

[lightning_1]

Do you by any chance know some of the lay out of the place? Like where they would keep our weapons? I can still cast some low level spells and fly without him but any offensive spell will have little to no power.

[marinefashion]

I don't. I was unconscious when they put me in here. At least they just didn't throw me in here. I think Adventus is keeping us in good condition for a reason.

[lightning_1]

(Fate's eyes narrow at that.)

They probably want to keep us safe to use as a bargaining chip with the Chalice.

[marinefashion]

Or other groups. There'd be a lot of people who'd be interested in the people who the Chalice have attracted.

[lightning_1]

I see. So we are live bait.

They also seemed more aggressive and manipulative during the fight. The must really want us out of the picture to go this far.

[marinefashion]

Most likely.

[Leaning against the pillow, Eri sighed.] Nothing to it but to sleep these days away then before planning our escape. It's not going to do any good to plan while we're tired.

[lightning_1]

(Fate sighs sadly.)

You're right. I don't like it though. I feel so...helpless.

[marinefashion]

Helpless is in a state of mind. It's best to relax and roll with it. It could be worse and they could be torturing us. [Or worse.]
