WEEK FIVE: MINGLE

[retellers]

WEEK FIVE: MINGLE (29 remain) Rise and shine, gremlins. The sun is shining, the birds are chirping, and it's the start of a new week. To the participants, yesterday's events may seem distant now—albeit not as distant as their life before this. Whether or not they notice, they will have lost a memory upon waking up. The barrier to the north is down, and beyond the bridge lies new areas to explore. Strangely, what was there last week seems to have been replaced overnight. That's not the only thing that's different, either. The participants will find that their lodgings have changed. Finally, should anyone check their PHS, Alyssa, Hikaru, and Bucky's profiles have been removed. Three Leaders can be found around the area, open (?) to approach. If participants want to speak to them more privately, or to an absent Leader, it looks like they'll have to go through another channel. Furthermore, it looks as though the rules have updated. On that note, if your character did not stay, please make sure to check your notifs. Once again, participants may find that they have difficulty recalling complete details of the past weeks. Finally, participants will find that they now have another pet to take care of. Small creatures (based on any animal of player choice, real or mythical) will be following them around all week. However, these creatures are emotionally tied to their participant, so whatever the person they are connected to is feeling, they will outwardly display it. Angry? They will be hostile. Happy? So are they! Even more, they will react to other participants based on how theirs feels about the other. Anyone their participant loves, they will also love. Hope you don't secretly hate anyone, that might be awkward.

[Frankly?

Chiron sees Lup and there's a look of abject panic all over his features, like he's been stabbed, but before he can even rush over to her, there is Jeanne with a body in her arms.

-- He has a duty. Even if he can barely remember it. He can't just--]

Sora.

[Blanca? Anyone please help her and Clem while he goes to see to the boy who is barely conscious.]

Jeanne, what happened?

[Jesus wept give him the boy??? ARE YOU OKAY??]

[canned]

[Alphonse rushes up]

I can carry someone! I know some first aid, too.

[antaressnipe]

I will be carrying Alphinaud, but you will be assisting me if I should need an extra set of arms.

[He still needs to make sure Izumo is looked after, so. C'mon, Alphonse, let's put you to work]

[canned]

[he nods vigorously]

Okay! Clementine and Miss Lup seem to be bleeding the most so we need to stop that and they shouldn't be moving. I can run to the first aid station and come back?

[antaressnipe]

Do as you will then, Alphonse. We will need plenty of bandages.

[Glancing out at the absolute mess of blood and bodies]

... Plenty of them.

[canned]

[as the supplies Blanca brought began to run out, Alphonse returns with clean bandages, painkillers, and alcohol to clean the wounds for when they change the bloodied wrappings]

Here! This might not even be enough, but...we just need to get them stabilized so we can move them.

I'll help you carry anyone who needs it, when things have calmed down.

[discernments]

We were at a castle.

[ She is more than willing to hand Alphinaud over to Chiron. Is he taking the small elf boy? ]

There was an altercation.

[antaressnipe]

Of what type?

[yes, he's taking the boy, and thankfully Jeanne's calm manner means Chiron switches straight into business]

And your wounds? Do not lie. Allow someone to assist you.

[discernments]

I will. I won't fight treatment today.

It was... there were some... beings. I don't know what they were.

[ Anyway, once he takes Alphinaud away, he can see there is blood across her front. Quite a bit, actually. Haha. ]

[antaressnipe]

[.... MmmmMMMMMmmmMMM!!!

Right.

Focusing.]

Later I will come to assess your wounds after you've been bandaged, but for now --

[A nod at Alphinaud]

What happened to him?

[discernments]

I am not certain. We split up. He was with— Ruby for the most of it.

I think he's been stabbed, at the very least.

[antaressnipe]

... Alright. I will examine him.

[A pause]

Please rest, Jeanne.

[discernments]

Thank you, Archer.

I will do my best not to aggravate my injuries too much.

[reconnective]

[there's a nod.]

We've got it. Take care of Jeanne and Alphinaud. [and off he goes to scream in another direction.]

[antaressnipe]

[THANK U, HE FEELS SLIGHTLY BETTER]

[arcsplainist]

[ Hello, barely conscious boy here.

His head does at least kinda... roll from one side of the other, eyes cracked open, attempting to focus on who he's being transferred over to. But the movement also causes another sharp pain to course through him, so he grits his teeth, squeezing his eyes shut. ]

[antaressnipe]

... Can you answer me at all, Alphinaud?

[he would greatly prefer not asking any questions of him (and is in fact interrogating Jeanne), but he must be certain the boy is at least lucid or not.]

[arcsplainist]

[ It takes him a moment—a long moment, but he does eventually hiss out: ]

... Aye. It... hurts, is all.

[ "That's all". Anyway, since Chiron has him now, he'll be able to see there's a rather deep slash on the right side of his chest to his shoulder; around his left shoulder blade is a deep puncture from a knife. ]

[antaressnipe]

[... Chiron is not dignifying that with a response but oh, his eyes just close in deep exhaustion for a beat.]

Where, exactly, are you injured?

[He'd much rather prefer a clean bed but he can't have Alphinaud bleeding out on him, either, so he will be settled on the ground so Chiron can take a better look at him.

That deep puncture wound... well. That is a place to start, isn't it? He will need to take off some of his clothing to get to the injury but that is getting cleaned and bandaged first]

[arcsplainist]

[ Yes please take these stinky bloody robes off. As much as Alphinaud would love to pass tf out right now, he at least manages to sit upright. He is just so tired and sore. ]

Only my torso. The rest of me—is fine.

[antaressnipe]

[Oh great, so he's in much better shape than Izumo, ha ha ha--

Yeah Chiron is not telling him yet.]

Then explain what happened -- you need not go into detail, but continue to talk so that you do not pass out from blood loss.

[arcsplainist]

[ He nods; it's a slow one. ]

We found ourselves within a castle. Its servants were all preparing for a feast, though they seemed... to care little for the king they served.

[canned]

[gently helps him sit upright while Chiron looks him over]

[antaressnipe]

[... He gives Alphonse a pat on the head for being helpful]

[arcsplainist]

[ Thank you, fellow Al! Alphinaud blinks up at him blearily. ]

... I will be okay, I believe.

[ Will he though. ]
