JET PISTOL!!!

[The sound of Luffy’s voice echoing through the air is the only warning anyone within the general vicinity of the plaza will get before the body of a certain awakenedchaos goes whistling pass and slamming hard into the plaza’s fountain. She isn’t dead, but she is knocked unconscious, and is in need of medical attention. If anyone were

[Robert had just been minding his own business, walking home to Community Building Three after the impromptu encounter with Megamind, when suddenly - Murakumo unit that he just barely recognizes from one conversation flying through the air and impacting heavily with the fountain

[Action]

[awakenedchaos]

[Sorry, Robert, but you're not going to get a reply just yet. Unfortunately, that attack combined with being sent flying into the fountain like that seems to have been more than enough to knock even her out cold. The silver-haired Murakumo's breathing, at least (even if it's very labored), but it's pretty clear she's not quite conscious at the moment.

Nonetheless, a few moments after he speaks that last sentence, she does move just slightly - a small sign that she's already starting to regain consciousness, somewhat faster than one might expect someone like her to. She's still in bad shape, of course, but it's a minor improvement.

...What the hell was that about just now?]

[Action]

[semper_cogitans]

[Alright, no audible response. So the impact with the fountain was definitely enough to knock her unconscious. Robert notes that breathing with some relief - he won't have to try to resuscitate her (and he doesn't think he could with that armour on) - but it is definitely very laboured, to an abnormal degree. He immediately suspects a punctured or collapsed lung, or something of that nature. After all, an impact like that would definitely justify an injury of that nature

[Action]

[-not safe from attack even from within this compound.

It's as he says those words that the light of the girl's visor flickers for a moment, followed by her carefully - very carefully - attempting to push herself up to her feet. As it turns out, trying to do that right now really isn't a good idea. She does manage to at least sit up, but before she can even attempt to stand...

...She's interrupted by a rather violent cough. A bloody one, if Robert happens to be paying attention; when the coughing finally ceases again, there are definitely visible traces of blood on the Murakumo's hand.

Unsurprisingly, she's not quite registering his presence just yet. Her injuries are... a little distracting at the moment, to put it mildly.]

[Action] | Doctors, feel free to jump in here!

[semper_cogitans]

[When the light of that strange visor flickers on, Robert instantly snaps his head up from where it had been lowered in anger. She's conscious now. But... That violent cough does not sound good.

Robert is very observant and notices those stray spatters of blood decorating the pale skin of the Murakumo's fingers. Definite lung damage, enough to draw blood.

There are so many things that could have caused that, but the most logical one is probably a rib puncturing the lung.]

Nu, stay down, please. You've likely punctured your lung and trying to move around will not help the injury. [Half to himself, with alarm seething just under his detached almost-monotone:] I should call for medical assistance... [Internal blunt trauma wasn't something he could do much for. What did his first aid training call for in the situation anyway? Depending on the pneumothorax injury, Robert had heard, it was possible to survive nearly indefinitely without treatment or be at risk for fatal injury almost right away...

He hoped that it wasn't the latter.]

[Action] |Nah, have a demonic threadjack

[blackenedchaos]

[And demon saw that lovely message and is that a human touching Nu?

His swords are out because he's very furious right now and this is a time where even a complete non-combatant may be in danger because screw Albert's orders. He's sick of trying to act decently and having these humans just do what they complain about from him.

And then he appears close enough by.] Touch her and I will kill you.

[This would be a good chance to run, he will not follow, but he will attack if Robert stays, non-combtatant or not.]

[Action/Voice] | Oh geez.

[semper_cogitans]

[Yuber.

He recognizes Yuber from the description Litchi gave him, as brief as it was. Yuber... is protecting Nu?

Robert's brain doesn't have the time to focus on this fact. All he has to go on is that Yuber is there and about to slaughter him. Pure panic or not, though, he doesn't run - he does immediately back off quickly, hands up to show he doesn't have a weapon, doesn't mean any harm, can't fight. As he's doing this he's switching his journal on, surrepitiously as he can, so it can pick up his voice in case he gets attacked... or worse.] Please, Yuber... she's injured. Her lung... it's punctured. [He's still backing away. There is no way he can run fast enough, not with his condition, but he's already put a sizeable distance between himself and Nu's prone form (and the angry demon).] I... did not witness the attack, merely the aftermath.

[More planitively:] Please do not harm me, I was merely attempting to give medical assistance... [He's absolutely terrified and it shows in his features, the way he's cringing away, continuing

[Action/Voice] DO-OVER :D;;

[not_meatbuns]

[The yelling over the journals was more than enough to catch Litchi's attention. The crashing from out in the plaza was even more so. She was headed out to see what was going on and what she could do anyhow, but seeing Yuber advancing on Robert, swords drawn, sparks her into action faster than anything.

She may not be the fastest sprinter, but Litchi still darts over, making sure to give Yuber enough space so that she herself doesn't get stabbed just for approaching from a blind spot, and slides to a stop between the scientist and the demon.

A quick glance over her shoulder tells her all the backstory she needs: Nu is injured, Yuber is furious, and Robert needs to run. She's sure he means best, but he's in way over his head.

...She's in over her head, for that matter. But still, she has to try, for several reasons.]

Stop! Please, I'm here to help her!

[Robert, please take the hint and run like hell. She's not sure she can hold off an angry for Yuber very long.]

[Action/Voice] | Have a failure attempt at running away

[semper_cogitans]

[Oh gods, Litchi too?] D-Doctor Faye-Ling?! [She was throwing herself in the way - every aspect of him wanted to tell her to stop, that fighting wasn't ethically permissible, that she shouldn't be involved, that nobody should be fighting, that Nu needs to get help right away and... that panic in Litchi's voice, just enough for him to discern, tells him she's terrified too. And possibly in danger.

But he knows he'll be helpless. Useless. If they're going to fight, there is nothing he can do. And he's pretty sure he can't stop either of them.

So he attempts to flee. Honestly, he can't run well enough to get very far at all. He probably doesn't even make it out of eyesight range of Yuber and Litchi before he has to slow down, his breath ragged and gasping and audible for all of Luceti. And he's terrified; he doesn't want to leave Litchi to die. His voice is breathless, choked, into his journal as he tries to will his exhausted, trembling body to put more distance between himself and the chaos in the plaza.] D-Doctor Litchi F-Faye-Ling

[Action/Voice] |

[blackenedchaos]

[And Robert backing away is enough that the demon will not attack. He just doesn't want some strange human touching Nu. He's not even making a step towards Litchi or Robert.

He may not like Litchi much, but he knows her to be a friend of Nu's and she doesn't attack him without cause.] If that pathetic human leaves quickly, he will not be followed. If you're going to help her, then do so.

[And no, swords are not going away yet. You're still in hot water there Litchi because he's not tolerating any harm being done to Nu, but he does know Litchi at least is a friend of hers, and is a doctor and can do something.]

[Action/Voice]

[not_meatbuns]

[Litchi holds her ground for a beat or two, watching Yuber carefully. The swords aren't going away, which isn't much to instill any confidence, but he's also not lunging to attack, either. Not taking her eyes from him, she directs her voice over her shoulder, her tone strong and confident despite her inner doubts.]

Professor Hastings, I'll be alright. Please, just go ahead and go home. I'll let you know how she's doing later.

[After just a shade of a longer pause, just to be sure she's not about to expose her back to Yuber when he's going to attack, she turns to tend to Nu as best she can. The damage is definitely severe, but she has to determine what to aim Nala's magic at first.

Fractured ribs... that'd be where to start. Her eyes flicker up to where Robert had retreated to, just to be sure he's still getting away, before she gets to work.]

[Action/Voice]

[semper_cogitans]

[The fact Yuber hadn't moved to attack before Robert went to flee was, in his mind, a good thing. Perhaps he had a rational part of his mind after all. It was understandable if he was angry, about Nu being attacked. That was enough to make Robert angry. And maybe he wouldn't hurt anybody else. Maybe

[Action/Voice]

[blackenedchaos]

[Good riddance is Yuber's thought when Robert finally leaves. Not that the demon is all that rational right now, but he knows that if he attacks fleeing human, Albert would grow quite angry. But if human had not fled, he didn't care if the human couldn't defend himself, the demon protects his own.

But still, he couldn't leave Nu out here and he didn't want to stay in this area in case Luffy decided to return to attack unprovoked again.] She needs to be moved indoors.

[And he will go ahead and teleport closer to Nu and Litchi, enough to put them all in range so he can take them elsewhere. He's not even going to wait on Litchi's response, his comment is the only warning that he's taking them elsewhere. Don't worry though, Litchi, it's a neutral location. Not his apartment, but also someplace with no other humans. He's just going to take them to room 27 of CH6 since that floor has no humans on it

[Action]

[awakenedchaos]

[At some point among that commotion, one of the other three might just have heard the silver-haired Murakumo mumble "Loading... Loading... Loading..." to herself almost inaudibly. It's significantly slower than usual, should anyone actually pick up on that, and as she's mumbling this, she doesn't seem to notice anything else.

When Yuber finally teleports the group sans Robert away, the initial mumbling is cut off by an equally nigh-inaudible "...Complete." It's then that she finally glances around for a moment - albeit very carefully]

...?

[Wasn't she still near the plaza a few moments ago? And then that boy that had aided Moro in the past showed up, and...

...

What was that about...? She's honestly more than just a little confused right now.]

[Action]

[not_meatbuns]

["More than just a little confused" is a pretty accurate description for Litchi right about now as well. She was just about to tell Yuber that it would be too dangerous to move her before the ribs have had a chance to knit at least slightly with Nala's help when, suddenly, they're somewhere else.

She gives a bewildered blink, casts a glance around the room to take in where they've ended up, squashes down the sudden wave of worry that she's somewhere - alone - with Yuber, and turns her attention back to Nu. Swallowing the unnecessary fear, she sets back to her healing magic.]

Shhh... Please, just stay still, Nu. This may be a little uncomfortable for a few moments, but it will speed along your healing time significantly.

[The magic is bound to not feel too fantastic on fractured ribs, but she's determined.]

[Action]

[blackenedchaos]

[And while Litchi works on Nu, the demon will go ahead and sit down off to the side. He has a bored and sleepy looking expression and his swords will be laid down on a table in front of him.

But don't think that means he isn't watching. He's paying very good attention, he can just pretend not to if that will make Litchi do her work better.]
