9. [Title Unreadable]

[corrinesbell]

[ooc: The internet is working here, for now, so I've decided to come back a bit early. I apologize if I suddenly disappear - the wireless in this place is insanely shaky.]

*in shaky, hardly readable writing*

I...I can't... H-How did I get...here? I feel like... I can't get...can't even...

Can...someone...

[Stricken text is basically unreadable, unless your character has practice in bad handwriting.]

*lloyd is oblivious to the facepalm!*

[kid-in-red.livejournal.com]

Fine, fine... *slows down, and actually starts being somewhat stealthy, he did grow up in the middle of a forest and probably went hunting and all*

Which way to you think she went...?

She did not go this way!

[corrinesbell]

*realizes Lloyd stopped making noise, and so she stops moving, lest they hear her somehow - she's not in the best condition to use stealth - and catch up to her*

...Damn...

*suddenly on her knees on the ground again - she can't get up now no matter how much she wants to*

It's not very effective...

Towards the mountains. That's where everyone assumes that the Malnosso are hiding, anyway. *also keeping an eye out and keeps his hand on the hilt of his sword, ready to protect himself and his son if need be*

a wild sheena appears?

[kid-in-red.livejournal.com]

*is that a glimpse of something purple through the trees? Lloyd steps up the pace, ignoring caution and running out in front of Kratos-- sorry, Dad*

Sheena!

Try to 'catch' her and you die.

[corrinesbell]

...
I can't keep going...

*she still isn't acknowledging that he found her, though.*

Go, Lloydachu!

[salvationfound.livejournal.com]

*keeps his steady pace, deciding to let Lloyd handle this... but he keeps himself ready just in case they need to support Sheena or, if worst comes to worst, drag her back*

Lloydachu uses Swords Dance!

[kid-in-red.livejournal.com]

*coming out into view of Sheena and sees her lying there, immediately breaking into a run to reach her side*

Sheena! Are you all right?

Sheena is watching Lloyd closely!

[corrinesbell]

*what he'll see, and Kratos too if the old man ever catches up, is a pale, exhausted Sheena, visibly shaking (and shaken?) and covered in gashes which were obviously inflicted by someone else, and some of which are still bleeding*

...You really want me to answer that?

Your enemy is weak! Go, Kratlypuff!

[salvationfound.livejournal.com]

*widens his eyes a little at the sight of Sheena and rushes to her side as well, soon closing his eyes and letting his hand hover over one of the many cuts on Sheena's body* First Aid! *and here he'll concentrate entirely on healing her wounds at least a little, even with his weak powers*

Kratlypuff used Softboiled!

[kid-in-red.livejournal.com]

*glad to see at least some sort of magic is still working here, even if it's really weak*

Sheena, what did they do...?

It's not very effective...

[corrinesbell]

*Kratos' actions confuse her, but she can't exactly stop him*

*...And bad question, Lloyd*

They...th-they...kept talking about...how much someone could endure...

Lloydachu used Confusion!

[salvationfound.livejournal.com]

*frowns a little in response to what Sheena says, still using his power to try to heal her, yet he makes sure not to use too much so that Lloyd won't have to carry two people back and I bet Kratos is heavy*

Sheena's already confused!

[corrinesbell]

Y-You might as well just stop.

Lloydachu's Soundproof prevents him from being affected by the enemy Sheena!

[kid-in-red.livejournal.com]

*totally ignoring Sheena's protests*

We're going to take you back to town, Sheena.

I'm gonna soundproof you in the face, little man.

[corrinesbell]

Guess I can't get you to consider helping me get Pearl and Stella out, instead?

Kratlypuff fainted! Use next Pokemon?

[salvationfound.livejournal.com]

... *pulls his hands away, closing his eyes to get over the wave of dizziness that came with it, then looks at the two of them* Sheena, you are in no condition to try and rescue someone.

D: *full restore on Kratlypuff*

[kid-in-red.livejournal.com]

We'll help you find them after you've rested.

They'll be okay. You're alive still, right? They are too.

Tag-teaming is unfair...

[corrinesbell]

...But...when I think of what th-they might be doing to them...

*but she can't even get up by herself to try to go, anyway*

[salvationfound.livejournal.com]

The knowledge that you injured and exhausted yourself even more while trying to go to them would only cause them more pain. If you want to save them, you at least need the energy to move. *glances at Lloyd* Lloyd, can you support her while we go back?

[kid-in-red.livejournal.com]

Right.

*and he moves to help pull Sheena up so they can head back*

[corrinesbell]

*no choice but to let him help her up. She'll do her best not to pass out on the walk back. That'd be awkward*

Sheena fainted (only not)! Lloydachu and Kratlypuff get nothing for winning. Them's the breaks.

[salvationfound.livejournal.com]

*walks behind the two of them, but will move in if Lloyd needs his help or anything on the way back*
