Well. Things have been pretty bad lately, huh?

Hey, I know! Let's all go blow off some steam together! We'll have....uh... A party! It'll be nice to get together with everyone who's....left....right?

[Awww, it's just so sad and cute, don't you want to cheer it up?]

We can have it on deck four, let's all meet up there, alright? Alright, great!

[Well, look who's wandering around deck 4!

Luckily for Tachikoma, Jael has never been warned to stay away Carnival, so she's within hearing range.]

[A soft, wailingly fragile voice rises out of Carnival. A young child is in there, and hurt!]

Help me! Help! I- I can't move! Please help! I'm scared!

[commentlog]

[mutedmother]

[Well, if there was any way to lure Jael in without question, it's definitely the voice of a small child.

Immediately, she heads into Carnival. Jael hesitates on the walkway, giving the barbed wire and the discolored sky an apprehensive look before visibly steeling herself and jogging further into Carnival, looking around for the child that she heard.]

[KA-WHAM!

Back of Jael's head, meet Tachikoma-fist. You're in carnival now, and thus you are totally fair game. Feel free to scream or lose consciousness, as your personality demands.]

[iffadogcandoit]

Is that where the carnival is?

[tachikhromatic]

Hmmm...It just might be!

Hey, did you want a tour of Carnival? I'm pretty knowledgeable, I'll give you one, for free!

[Toaster has been wanting to go to Carnival ever since he discussed it with Marco and Yuna. He makes it to deck four pretty damn fast, even though he is still missing one of his legs.

He spot Tachikoma just outside of Carnival and hobbles over.

He looks up to the giant robot.]

Were you the one that I was speaking to?

[Commentlog]

[tachikhromatic]

That's right!

[It is....perhaps a little too happy about this.]

I'm the Tachikoma; that's Carnival over there.

[empressina]

[Have an Empress down there, ready to be 'bumped' into Carnival and slaughtered by a giant robot :D]

[tachikhromatic]

[Oh hello! Musashi takes up most the entire hall- it's really got a very bulky shape, after all! Whoops, was that your dainty chinese self it just 'accidentally' hip-checked into Carnival?

Why yes.

Yes it was.]

[empressina]

[You punkass. This dainty Chinese lady is looking mighty miffed.

And drawing out her abilities. WHAT NOW]

Excuse me. Move, please.

She's physically in carnival now, right?

[tachikhromatic]

Ooops! I'm sorry. Clumsy me~

[BUMP! okay, that one was a little more intentional.]

[summonupastorm]

[Yuna knows that Carnival is a dangerous place to venture into (thanks to the responses on her last post) and she had originally planned on walking right past it, but she lingers for a moment. It sounds like there might be someone in there, although the sound is still fairly hard for her to make out.]

[tachikhromatic]

[It's soft, but it's there; a young girl, sobbing in pain.]

He...h-elp! [there are a series of wet, painful-sounding coughs]

Please! I c-can't get up!

[summonupastorm]

[Any thought of leaving is pushed out of Yuna's mind as she hears that call for help. Dangerous or not, someone is in Carnival and that someone is clearly in trouble. If they're hurt, they're going to need someone to heal them and get them out of that place.

Without a second thought, Yuna goes through the entrance and begins to rush up the ramp.]

[tachikhromatic]

[Musashi's learned a few lessons from Xia and Jael- it bounces out of the bushes in a flash, reaching to grab at Yuna's neck from behind, three-fingered manipulator held wide like striking talons.]

[embattled_angel]

[Well, the poor thing probably does need cheering up and Alita considers it something of a friend, so... Off she goes. She's on Deck Four, trying to figure out how a giant blue tank can be so good at staying hidden.]

[tachikhromatic]

[Because it's hiding in Carnival, silly. Musashi thinks a moment- well, it worked all the other times.]

Help~ Help, I'm trapped!

[embattled_angel]

[Well, where is that-

Wait. Alita's brow furrows. How many children do they have aboard right now? And how did one wnader into carnival? Maybe they were new and couldn't figure out the communicator. She's reasonably sure of being able to handle just about anything she runs into in there, so she turns aside and ducks through the door, scanning for the "child".]

Hey! Anyone in here?

[tachikhromatic]

[Alita's a cyborg, so Musashi's back to proper Tachikoma fighting techniques- it comes at her from the side, leaping out for a grip not half a foot away, then again, to bodily tackle Alita into a tree, if it possibly can.]
