24th Command Spell

[She attempts a drone filter...but of course it's not going to work. Saber is also doing her best to not sound angry...what she discovered when she finally had enough time at home to even SEE the droned Patchouli has her very properly pissed off.]Excuse my absence over these past few days...the factory here is rather demanding

I hate to say it but this place likes to mangle us physically. I've seen a lot of people come out of the factory with missing limbs.

[arturia_pen]

I see...if she had been droned upon arrival I can see her leaving the house for something like that to happen.

Unfortunately my time being forced to go to this factory has had me away from my home far too much...so I do not know if this happened before or after she was droned.

I suppose it does not matter if she this is...[Her voice seems to catch just once.]...permanent.

[weiss_tank]

We won't know for a little while. All we can do is hope that once this place goes back to normal the injuries will get healed like Westport.

We just gotta hold out for a little while longer.

[arturia_pen]

I agree. Strength is our biggest asset at this point.

I do have faith our controllers will grow bored of this the same way they do all other things.

[lasersallover]

She lost her eye?

[arturia_pen]

Yes, she is wearing an eye patch over her missing eye.

I had assumed it would heal. I could not ask her how such a thing happened, as she had been droned and only gave me a story about a necessary mishap, as her work served the good of the Union.

[lasersallover]

Hmm...

[arturia_pen]

Is there a problem?

[glompedbystakes]

Patchouli, Uryu...

[arturia_pen]

We must be strong, Sakutaro.

There is no time for tears right now.

[glompedbystakes]

U-Uryu... Will try.

[arturia_pen]

We will pull through, and we will be stronger for it.

Are you faring well here?

[clockwrkangel]

[Becca doesn't really know what to say, but she walks up to Saber and stands nearby awkwardly, not sure whether she should even try saying something.]

[arturia_pen]

Oh, hello Rebecca.

I apologize that I have been away so much as of late.

How are you faring?

[clockwrkangel]

[She fidgets nervously.]

I...haven't been paying attention to things for a while...

I'm sorry....

[arturia_pen]

It is quite alright, Rebecca.

I believe we have bigger things to be concerned about at the moment.

[synchronicsong]

I-Is that w-what happened to Miss Patchouli...?

[Rin sounds rather horrified and upset to hear that, since she thought of Patchouli as rather nice, especially since the magician had offered to tutor her in reading.]

[arturia_pen]

I am afraid so.

I am sorry, may I ask who this is? I do not believe I know your voice.

[synchronicsong]

...ah...I-I'm sorry...m-my name is Rin...

[arturia_pen]

It is quite alright.

It is a pleasure to meet you, Miss Rin. Do not worry overmuch about Patchouli...she will be alright.
