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?]

[Trekking across the forest doesn't often involve finding a head accessory, though it seems to be the case this evening. The hat stands out on a heap of leaves. Hubert glances left and right; seeing no one coming his way to retrieve it, he picks it up. The owner should be nearby if he or she cares.

He continues walking, though he slow his pace in case the aforementioned owner is close and searching. Before long, he makes a turn and is abruptly met with a semi-bloody sight of someone . . . surprisingly familiar. Vaguely. He stops mid-step, surprised.]

Naoto?

[Dear team,

Please stop dying/psuedo-dying.

Love, Rise.

--that is to say, Naoto, you have a distraught idol yelling at you over the journal now.]

You'd better be alive! Where are you?!

[Even when Hubert says her name, it takes her mind a second or two to register it then she moves her gaze from the sky to the person addressing her. Her vision hasn't exactly recovered entirely so Hubert looks like just a blue blur to her but his voice is recognizable even though they've only spoken once.

With the bruises on her jaw it's difficult to speak at a normal volume so when she does speak, it's rather quiet] ...Hubert..san?

[Ow ow, lower the voice Rise, Naoto is right next to the journal after all. She speaks quietly]

I'm to the west of the village...not too far out in the forest...

[Please don't bleed to death. Her voice drops a little in volume, but her fury is still pretty evident.]

I'm heading there right now.

[And here's to hoping that she doesn't stumble into Vanitas on the way or something. Ooh-er.]

[Oh man, is she going to get scolded for doing this or what. Well she had it coming]

Alright...[Don't run into Vanitas, he has a gun now]

[If she gets shot, it'll be all Naoto's fault. :(

Unlike the last time she mounted a tiny rescue mission for Naoto, though, Rise's not going to be talking much on the way to wherever she is; the wind's pretty bad so just like how most of what she can hear of Naoto's side is the wind, Naoto will be hearing the wind as well as she moves. Because she's angry and worried and-- damn it, Naoto, she doesn't want to cry so often either.

At least it's still bright out.

Which is to say-- timeskip, and she'll speak again once she's at the edge of the forest and having summoned Kanzeon (the bad thing about this Persona? It clearly isn't as mobile as everyone else's. Her voice is louder, so that Naoto can hopefully hear her as she picks her way through.]

Tell me if you can hear me, okay?

[Wait what, why is it her fault? D8

Naoto's hanging on the edge of consciousness and sleeping so it takes her a moment for her to register the fact that Rise is talking to her. She lets out a 'mm' noise as if to say yes]

[He's rushing to her side by the time she calls his name. He crouches beside her, sets the hat aside and looks her over for visible injuries she's sustained.]

What happened? [He sees the bruises.] No, don't answer. You need to be taken back for proper medical aid.

[Regardless, he raises both hands over her shoulder -- not touching, but close. Before he does anything else, Hubert states his intent. If she's against it, it's time for her to shake her head now.]

I will treat what damage I can here.

[He has no idea what happened, but he's good at being an ass about things.]

Yeah, death tends to not be permanent here.

If you actually died, anyway.

Naoto?

[Oh dear. That... doesn't sound good.]

What happened?

Shirogane-san? What happened?

[Because it's her gun! B(

She notes that mm, replies it with an mm of her own and advances, being sure not to trip on any tree roots. This is why she doesn't wear heels when running through the village, see. Naoto, Naoto...]

How are you feeling?

[She can see him moving his mouth but the words are coming out muffled though there are a few that she can make out, like 'medical' and 'treat'. Hell if he can help take a bit of the pain away, she isn't going to say no.

But instead of saying anything, she simply nods]

[But she didn't even expect him to take it or anything D8!

How does she feel? Tired, sore, cold, there are a few ways to describe it but what's a good word to say all of that?]

...Numb...

...Didn't die...

[She knows that people who die here come back after a week or so, but that can't be right in this situation. Unless people return with the same wounds they died with still there.]

[Ventus...well, time to fess up]

Went after...Vanitas...

[Good. His hands begin to glow, and he concentrates the magic onto her shoulder. Slowly, the injury closes enough that blood no longer runs from it. Although the gash is still there, he moves on and focuses on the rest of Naoto. Looking as beat up as she is, her body must be aching -- especially her jaw. It's a fairly lengthy process that takes up a few minutes, as he tries to be as precise and thorough as possible.]

[It takes her a moment to respond, since she almost slipped off into unconsciousness for a moment]

I went after...Vanitas...[Alone]

You what?

[He doesn't sound mad. Just... chocked and upset.]

Alone?

[He don't know Vanitas personally. But judging from his name and Naoto's state, he can tell he's not a good person.

He quickly scan the journal at the existing replies so far.]

Shirogane-san, stay awake! Why did you went out alone?

[She already knows that what she did was probably not the best idea ever and probably not her fight to pick, but it was something that had to be done]

...Mmsorry...[Supposed to be "I'm sorry" but the words slurred together]

[This time she just hums slightly as a way to say yes. Talking too much hurts her jaw so the next reply comes in slower than the original.

Why did she go out alone? She can't even remember why now] ...not sure....anymore...

[Ah-it feels warm. She relaxes a bit as the pain slowly begins to subside just a little. It's much more comfortable when her body isn't screaming at every single move or breath she makes. Though her jaw is going to hurt for a while, pressing against pressure points as hard as Vanitas did will leaving short lasting effects]

[The healing process takes a moment longer. Having done what he could, the glow fades and he drops his arms to his side. That should last her the rest of the evening, at least in the way of throbbing pain. Some rest and proper treatment of the gash and jaw should wrap it up.]

How are you feeling? If it hurts to speak, simply nod or shake your head.
