[like the lost piece of some horror show, a man comes staggering back into town from the forest, trailing a bright path of red behind him in the snow. As pale and gray as his surroundings, beside the violent wash of color covering the entire left side of his body, he drags himself to civilization with faltering mechanical steps. So much blood...

Where are you? I could be there in seconds.

[Voice]

[endthem]

East.

[there is a delay as he struggles to think of something more specific, looking sluggishly around]

Near a housing building. [he can't think of which one it is, only vaguely remembering that they are known by numbers]

[Voice/Action]

[oracleofdeath]

[That's good enough though, because that narrows it down to outside building 7 most likely and trying to pick up the energy of people in a smaller area is easier.]

I'll be there shortly. Stay where you are for now.

[And probably about the same time Litchi arrives she'll find the location. She's teleporting, so it's pretty quick.]

[Voice]

[restoretheworld]

If you can state where you are, I may be able to assist you. [He's not exactly a medic, but he is a gifted healer, so...]

[Voice]

[endthem]

I'm east. [didn't he already say this? Must have been to someone else. He was feeling terribly lightheaded...] The far east side of town.

[Voice]

[restoretheworld]

[Far east, and - going by his other response - near a housing building... That narrows it down a lot. It shouldn't be too hard to locate him with this.]

Remain where you currently are. I will be there soon.

[True to his word, he'll be there in a few minutes - a little later than Litchi and Erim, but not by much. Warp does make moving about a lot faster, even if it isn't quite as effective as some other forms of teleportation may be.]

[ooc: I'll have him jump into Litchi's thread later for the sake of simplifying things, if that's alright. ♪]

[Voice]

[endthem]

Mm. [...it was the clearest acknowledgment he could manage at the moment]

[[ooc: sounds good!]]

[not_meatbuns]

[Litchi is out for a walk around the village when she spots Legato... and immediately, without a second thought, runs over to his side. So much blood... she'll have to work fast. And here she is without any bandages handy...

The question of What Happened can wait. It's better that he saves his energy for now. Time to focus on Nala's healing magic to try and at least slow the bleeding. After that, she should try to get him to the clinic...]

Please, just stay still for a moment. I'm here to help.

[[ooc: Erim, Alex, and I were all planning on piling into the same thread, so this can be after the other two tags. :D;;]]

[Action]

[endthem]

[with how little energy he has left, he can't do much more than stare distantly at the woman as she runs up to him. He's walked a long way, and really should have fallen unconscious some time ago; that arm is severed frighteningly clean. A perfectly flawless cut, straight through muscle and bone as if it had given no more resistance than air, simply ending the limb around the middle of his upper arm. The tourniquet is fashioned from what seems to be the torn sleeve of someone's dark-colored jacket, hastily tied but enough to have gotten him this far]

[[ooc: lol, sounds like a plan. They can jump in whenever.]]

[Action]

[not_meatbuns]

[Litchi is silently grateful for the tourniquet having done as much as it has already to slow the bleeding. But still, she's going to need to pour as much energy into a quick healing spell as possible to at least stem the bleeding until she can get him somewhere where she has better supplies.

Much as she had gotten rather good at Nala's healing magic over the months, it was going to take much more than that to heal up a wound like this. It would help, but not enough. Still, she put as much energy as she could into the spell to at least hold him over.

Maybe a call for help over the journals...?]

[[ooc: Gotta get to work, so if y'all want to jump in, go right ahead ♥]]

[Action]

[oracleofdeath]

[And Erim arrives to the area and notices Litchi already assisting, and vaguely does remember the woman from some time back at least. Still, if the man needs assistance direly, more hands are not going to hurt.

She'll run the rest of the distance to Litchi's side.]

I can tell he's weak, do you need further assistance?

voice

[cuttingedges]

[Medical assistance. Hm. This may be a good chance to try out something he'd acquired earlier.]

Where are you?

voice

[endthem]

East. [the answer comes lethargically. He's getting tired of repeating himself, quickly losing strength]

[[ooc: if you want to end up arriving in person, join the action thread at some point?]]
