10/29 --- Δ Haggard Traveler’s Reprieve?????

[gluttoning]

Who: ??? & you!
What: Something's starting...
Where: Δ Haggard Traveler’s Reprieve (Twilight Shoreline)
When: Sunday, 10/29
Warnings: Will be added as needed.

( Perhaps intrigued by the mail allegedly sent by CC Corp, perhaps visiting the Shoreline by chance, gating into the Area goes as it always does, until the music stays cut for longer than it should, and the black, liminal transition screen lingers for a little too long. The seconds tick on. They near turn to minutes. You can't struggle, you can't argue— you can only simply be, and it occurs to you that maybe you'll be trapped midway here, conscious, for maybe forever.

And then you hear static. Your vision warps; pixels strain into words, blurred and unstable. You see them combat for your attention; you see— )



( And then you load in. )

[Dosei's attack hit everyone in front of him and Nanashi is not on the front lines so he's safe!]

-?!

[wait.]

C-confuse status, right?

[He is very in pain and very disoriented right now.]

[rebelles]

[ Dosei's wild ride does catch Haru unawares in what would have otherwise been a confrontation she regrets.

The pain snaps her out of it, but don't worry about her! She's more worried about Nanashi now that she's back to herself. ]

(HEAL) CORE USE 1/3

[ophidie]

[There will always be time for confrontations we regret later, as sad as it is to lose the opportunity to have one now.]

Feeling better? [She sounds about as spry as being completely, 100% fueled by adrenaline can get you...but close inspection reveals that she is acutely shaking. Somewhat hesitantly, Miharu turns her attention away from Haru to address Nanashi.]

I'm afraid I can't heal you with spells, but given that they've left us alone a moment... [Whatever might come next fills her with dread. She'll activate her heal core's Data Drain Type H: All (drain targeting Tarvos if you need to know) for everyone in the area.]

[justonezero]

[Oh thank goodness, he is bleeding by a quarter of his health less now.]

Th-thank you...

[rebelles]

[ Meanwhile, Haru's recovered from the attack, but she's holding her head in pain and confusion, feeling too weak to move. Who does she want to protect again? Which of her feelings are genuine? This is what happens when too many status effects are gripping you at once. ]

It's all too confusing! Please... someone help me.

[ Won't someone tell her what's real? ]

[justonezero]

[He's somewhat recovered thanks to a well-timed healing core, and he can't just ignore a cry for help.

Still bloodied, he reaches out to her.]

Noir...?

[rebelles]

[ She pulls away from his touch because her trust in herself is at an all time low after falling to charm 3x in a row, but his voice grounds her enough for her to look back at him. ]

Nanashi? What have I been doing?

[justonezero]

Um... hitting teammates, I think... But it's because Mithrun keeps confusing people.

Are you... are you okay...?

[rebelles]

For now, I think so.

[ She shakes her head as if trying to focus, and begins looking Nanashi over with clearer eyes, relieved to see his HP's not critical. ]

Thank goodness you're alright.

[justonezero]

[Smiling weakly. He sure as hell does not actually feel alright, but well.]

I'm glad you're okay, too. Those confusion spells are brutal.

[ophidie]

Don't thank me. We got lucky. [Nodding to the aftereffects of the Typhoon Sweep.] Do you need anything else? I still have some consumables; however...

[She's going to pretend that she didn't eat the debuff from entering the arena the minute the Unwise Indulgence went off, but she can at least acknowledge that she understands that eating or drinking anything might instill uneasy nausea in someone.]

[justonezero]

F-food, probably...

[It still hurts, he's still bloodied from the remaining wounds. Somehow, a slash from a large sword and three earth-aligned gunshot wounds do not make for a healthy rabbit.]

Wh-- what about you-?

[ophidie]

[The sight of the Refreshing Sunflower Frappe she pulls from her inventory makes Miharu feel a little nauseous, but she presses it into his hands anyway.]

Be careful. [An unnecessary warning, but it applies to so many things.] I only just loaded into the area. I'm fine.
