fortuneprince | 10th Case - [Voice]/[Action]

[Voice]

[There isn't much to hear when the journal first turns on just the wind blowing and the soft rustling of the grass surrounding it. Eventually a familiar voice comes up on the other end of the journal, though it's quiet]

...I'm...alive...[a pause] ...why...?

[Action]

[It's been a few hours since the fight between Naoto and Vanitas ended so it's around evening time now.

If anyone happens to come across Naoto, in the forest to the west of the village, she'll be sitting up and leaning against a tree instead of lying on the ground like she was before. With her body as sore as it is, it's relatively difficult for her to move very far.

The blood staining her left side continues to come from the obvious gash in her shoulder though not as badly as before. She's looking up towards the sky and two nice little bruises can be seen on both sides of her jaw from the pressure Vanitas was applying there to knock her out.

Her hat also seems to be missing, probably blew off while she was out cold. Perhaps you'll find it on the way to her?]

[Picking up the hat and brushing the dirt off...]

Can you hear me now?

[Okay that she heard outside of the journal]

You're very close.

[All that voice training isn't for show, you know! Moving and looking around carefully now.]

You're not on a tree again, are you?

[She manages a chuckle]

No, I'm on the ground...

Good. I not sure if I could climb any--

[And here she steps round a tree and well, there's Naoto.]

--thing...?

I can't see you...as much of a climber...

[Why hello there blurry Rise]

You think? They made me climb stuff for ads before.

[And crouching down now to examine Naoto. She notes that gash and that blood, though-- thank goodness for summer and its non-failing light even in the evening. Plus there's probably no use using Kanzeon at this point-blank range.]

Are you in pain? Does it hurt anywhere?

Did they?

[She watches the blur kneel down next to her and rubs her eyes again, trying to clear her vision.]

Everything hurts...[Being thrown against a tree doesn't exactly feel good]

...you're bleeding.

[Didn't those medical dramas sometimes mention internal injuries? And how fatal they were? She pauses for a moment and draws back to pat her pockets for something. It's now or never.]

Vanitas struck my shoulder...

[Her hand moves over the wound, the wet feeling under her fingers telling her it was indeed still bleeding but her attention is drawn back to Rise when she notices her looking for something]

[There's a pause at Vanitas' name. It lasts for barely two seconds, though, as she continues her search. It has to be here somewhere...]

You got into a fight with him.

[No Rise, she had tea time with him]

I did...

Why?

[THERE WE GO. She pulls out a vial of red powder.]

I couldn't let him get away...with hurting Sora-kun...

[Oh, a red blur now. Wonder what that could be?]

So you decided to go after him.

[That's so...typical of her. Didn't she do the same thing back when she was investigating the Shadows too? Ugh. Also, how does this medicine work, this thing doesn't come with instructions!

...but the last time someone did that demonstration, they'd eaten it, hadn't they? So...]

Hey. Open your mouth.

Yes...

[Yeah, not very surprising coming from Naoto, huh?

She blinks, confused by the order but does as shes told. Her mouth opens a little]

[In reality, the best way (unbeknownst to Rise) is to mix some of that with water and drink it. However, in the absence of clean drinkable water and...that knowledge, Rise will be tipping about a tenth of that powdery mixture onto Naoto's tongue.]

Swallow.

[...enjoy that blood taste, Naoto.]

[Oh so it's a powder and...what's this? It tastes like iron...like...blood. But she swallows it before she gets the chance to question Rise what it is and ends up coughing once it's down]

W-What was that?!

...medicine. How do you feel?

[The effects should be noticeable soon...though Rise's more worried about how long that's been left sitting. Will it still be as effective?]

[She doesn't say it at first but she instantly notes that the pain in her shoulder is gone within a matter of seconds. She even reaches up to touch where the wound had previously been]

...Better.

That's all? Nothing weird?

[Shaking her head]

The pain in my shoulder..the wound, it's gone. What kind of medicine was that??

...it was a gift. [She shakes her head-- she'll have to be sure to thank Ian properly the next time she sees him.] C'mon, can you stand?

From who?

[She's still just a little sore but that doesn't mean she's not going to try. So being careful, she slowly stands up, putting her hand on the tree behind her to steady herself]
