One of the cryopods started beeping in the lab, signalling that a new master is about to wake up and exit their pod. But no one was present. Not that it mattered.
The cryopod that notified the system that a master candidate was waking up released its hatch. In a short amount of time, a pale woman started to walk out of it. Her body shivering immediately from the cold temperature of the room.
Everything was hurting. It was better when she was just asleep. But it was about time for Anastasia to wake up and fulfill her duties as a Chaldean. A master candidate at that. She avoids making contact with as much surfaces as possible but unfortunately she still couldn't resist the freezing cold and the floor. Immediately, her skin started to react to all of the elements around her. The unending pain returning to her senses once more.
She hated it.
Why must the room be so... cold..." The half-naked Russian mutters with a shaky voice. She then slowly wandered over to the lockers to dress herself up in proper uniform. Afterwards, she had only gotten herself in an even more uncomfortale set up. It is what it is.
Once dressed, Anastasia started to make her way out. Her fingers clenched as she does her best to resist the pain. She'll get used to the pain eventually because it has been months since she was active.
"Enough already..." Anastasia pleads as she exits the room. A bit of tears flowing from her eyes and eventually hitting the floor. But she kept a expressionless look on her face for those that might've walked past her or see her through the cameras that are all over the place.
This was just the beginning sadly.
A resounding hiss could be heard reverberating in the cryostasis lab as a cryopod opened its doors. The hatch opened, and a cloud of icy mist poured out, obscuring the sight of the master inside. Her eyes were closed, yet her chest visibly rose and fell with each breath she took. Yet another master candidate has awoken— a flicker life within the dead room.
“Hmm,” the chaldean muttered, her eyes fluttering open. “Fate seems to be taking me in some even stranger directions… How strange, I don’t recall how long I have been asleep.”
The master took her her step out of the hatch, the blanket of mist enwrapping her nude figure as she made her exodus. Her dark brown tresses hung messily down to her legs and her carmine eyes were half-lidded with fatigue. Though the freezing air nipped at her skin, Tao Dian looked unbothered as she scanned the room to find a uniform to don.She made haste in locating and wearing the outfit, and once dressed she made her way to the exit, ready to leave the lab and enter Chaldea’s halls.
“Now then,” she announced with a clap, a mischievous smirk forming on her now lively face. “I suppose it’s time to get to work!”(edited)
.....Nothing. Absolutely nothing. Even once the pain had subsided, the woman simply found... Nothing. Nothing in her memory, nothing to tell her who she is or what she wants. Nothing is a strange concept, not very easy to understand by those who have an absence of nothing. And what did this woman find herself thinking of this? Nothing. She had no particular opinion on the matter, for there was no comparison. It was just... Perhaps a little odd.
She sat up, her eyes scanning across the room she found herself in... Some sort of infirmary... Using cryostasis, she reasoned to herself. Had she been injured? What had injured her? She felt her face, and then the rest of her body for injuries. None. Or at least, none left. It was then that she noticed the markings spanning her body. Unbroken, except for in two places at her shoulders, making three large markings. Still saying nothing, she made her way out of the pod and got to her feet, walking to the wall of uniforms, finally seeing a logo on a label.
"Chal... Dea..."
Equipping the uniform, she made sure every part of it was properly buttoned and strapped up. After all, that seemed to be the purpose of those straps and buttons and zips. To secure them to her body. So why shouldn't she?
As she finished getting herself dressed, she stepped out into the halls of the facility. She should perhaps find someone. They will know what to do.
All she saw was fire.No.No, that's not quite right.Rather than fire, it was the core of the planet.The horrific and wondrous place where fairykind still existed known as the reverse side of the world.The inner star of the planet which would burn until the end of the world.Thinking critically, the girl realized that she must be dead.After all, this was a place permitted only to those living beings who were free of sin, and she had committed a great many sins.Yes. The transmigration of fairies had ended, the spiral of natural essence had reached its nadir, and, in a practical manner of speaking, really, only dead people could travel here.It was a place of slumber.So why was she awake?Why was she so cold?'Something isn't right.'She mumbled from her cryopod.'Everything still sucks.'Right.If she was dead, shouldn't her body have stopped hurting?...Yes. That's right.Her memories were coming back now.She was the sort of person who survived by luck rather than her own skill.It was only natural that her calamitous existence would continue only because she survived something lethal by chance.Her heart was still beating.She could feel it pulsing with a fervor.'I want to live,' she had declared long ago.It was a mantra that continued to drag her through a fairly unrewarding life.'I may be useless, and it may all end in tragedy, but I want to live!''After all... shouldn't I be the sort of person who can make 'happily ever after' come true?!'The pod monitoring life-signs acknowledged her survival with a small beep.Maybe the doctors had forgotten in the chaos, or maybe they just hadn't cared to begin with, but her body was frail and reacted horribly to cold temperatures.Cryofreezing her might as well be the same thing as burying her alive.Her eyes opened without much fanfare.And she stumbled out an away without much fanfare.
(I want to live...)
She thought.
The sound of mechanical machinery echoes through the silent room, indicating yet another master have been woken up to help Chaldea in their struggles. As the noisy cryostasis pod lets out a beep, the glass door would let out a whizzing sound as it swung itself open. Cold mist begin to pour out from the container as the prisoner within slowly being defrosted away. A foot would be seen stepping out from the coffin, followed with another leg and a hand reaching for the sides of the pod.
There, a girl would be seen climbing out from the cold hell that she had been imprisoned in. Her short black hair sways as she moves and her red eyes scan her surrounding. It's clear that something had happened during her sleep with the fact that there's noone greeting her from waking up, or that she couldn't even remember what happened after the first rayshift. Nevertheless, the master candidate would stumble weakly to the nearby terminal. She might be raised in the mountains, but her time as a mercenary had teached her ways around with technology.
Her fingers dance across the keyboard as she tries to figure out what's going on, and of course, finding a way to open the door leading outside.
"Haaah....I could really use a smoke right now."
The lady mutters to noone in particular, her eyes glued to the monitor with a slight confusion and wariness.
Once she's done catching up the recent event, Furukawa could only scratch her head in resignation as she sighed.
"...Things had really gone complicated while I was out."
Furukawa mutters to herself as she pressed one of the key. Then, the cryostasis room door would automatically opened itself as Furukawa moves over to it.
"Well, can't really avoid my responsibilities now can I?"
With a small yawn, the Asian lady return back to her original room, hopefully getting herself properly clothed.
...CLANKSomething breaks the silence.CLANK, CLANKSomeone has awoken.PFSSSSSHHHHAs life signals are confirmed, and the cryo pod starts opening in response, its container soon finds himself rather disoriented... One step forward, another to the left, one ahead, another to the right...
"Bloody hell... My ass would've stayed in London if I knew I was going to be a human popsicle, bastards..." He breathes, trying to adapt once more... Stay calm. Think, what happened?
8:20 PM
Chaldea... Singularity F... Ready to go... Explosion happened. Yes, yes, it comes to you, soon the facts start to get clearer. At least you didn't bite the dust. You got lucky.... No, stop that thought. You never get "lucky", all it does is make you think in a way you shouldn't. You are alive, that's what matters.It would be needed to know what happened... Did they solve the Singularity already? Was it all over? He had to know. With furtive steps, he regained composure... And ventured outside.
In the Empty Cryostasis lab the sound of a hiss and whirr of machinery could be heard as the door to a Cryogenics Pod opened up and a young girl with Brunette hair and Marrone Eye awakened from their frosty Nap
"Hmm? Where am- Oh that's right, this place was called Chaldea." The Girl looked around the room for a moment trying to spot someone before shaking her hair with dissatisfaction "She must have woken up before I did, that must be it." *The Girl changed into a standard Chaldean Uniform and existed the Lab"
There was a hiss of deactivation from one of the cryopods, followed by a muffled gasp and then a thunk from the inside, followed by a muffled "OW!"
Inside the pod, the young woman held her forehead that she had just smacked on the glass upon jolting out of her sleep. She laid back again, looking up through the fogged glass at the lights on the ceiling, fumbling around for a release button before yanking her hand back again with a yelp as the door to the cryopod slid open. The young lady let out a sigh, sitting up properly this time and still holding her head, glancing around.
'Alright Lexi, think... You were in the meeting room... It was all good... And then boom. Well... Literal boom. Yeah. Okay, so you're alive, looks like... So gotta get up and get back working! Time waits for no lady...'
She launched herself forwards by her legs and landed right on her feet in the middle of the room, before trying to cover her modesty and head to grab her uniform.
"My, my," a voice came through the dark chamber behind Lexi. A chipped accent that didn't seem to belong to any culture or nationality. If she turned around she would find a figure sitting in the dim light on a cryo-pod. "We have another new one. Lot's of people waking up recently."
Lexi swivelled around as the voice rang out and took her by surprise, lifting her hands up to her face for just a moment in a fighting position before seeing it was another member of Chaldea, sighing a little bit.
"Scared me outta my skin!"
10:09 AM
She said with a bit more of a warm smile, dropping her hands.
She said with a bit more of a warm smile, dropping her hands.
@Lexi (@RJ|Sir L/Lytus/Dude/Wolf/-/-) - jump
The figure lifted his hands up with palms open, letting out a low chuckle. "Heh, no need to worry, ma'am. Just a stranger sitting in the dark saying horror movie cliches."
He pushed himself off the coffin and walked into the light, revealing himself as a medium sized man with a pale complexion and an almost too well-angled face wearing a desginer black t-shirt under a white vest. His flowing fiery red hair easily reached down past his shoulders and his eyes were of the same blazing amber. On his face was a confident, almost sleazy, smile.
"Name's Oliver. That's all you need to know about me." Oliver absently looked Lexi head to toe, showing not much emotion as he did so. "Not bad. And you are?"
"Huh."
She wasn't really sure what he meant by that. She placed her hands on her hips as she looked at Oliver, almost scanning him as he had scanned her, though her reaction was pretty much nothing... This guy seemed really difficult to read. Eh, she could worry about that later. She kept up her warm smile and took a few steps forward towards Oliver, extending her hand for a handshake.
"I'm Alexis, Alexis Sinclair, but you can call me Lexi. It's nice to meet ya, Ollie. Can I call you Ollie?"
This... Was most certainly not a mage, that was for sure. Nor a member of the church. In fact she just seemed like a regular college sophomore, were it not for the incredible tone of her muscle.(edited)
"Ollie's the pet-name my Masters call me. But for a wonderful lady like you," he winked with that signature grin of his, "I'll make an exception."
"An Ollie for a Lexis," he shook Lexi's hand but she would notice he was using a hand he had with a white glove and keeping his stature in a manner where he was always surefooted. His other hand was at rest but her combat skills could guess in the manner he was positioned that if anything went wrong his hand would come up very vast to her face. Even if she didn't know why his index knuckle was like that.
It spoke to the fact he was at best a cautious man.
"So how the hell did you end up in this sorry place?" Oliver said, "We've all got our own stories."
"Well somebody's forward."
She giggled a little bit at him before looking down at his hand and his stature for a moment, getting an inkling for what kind of guy this person was. She wasn't going to judge straight away, however... She was sure he had his reasons for being in this constant guarded state. Either way... He clearly wasn't as casual as he seemed. Which is about what she'd come to expect from magi and people of this moonlit world.
"Well, my sensei sent me here under orders of our order. They foresaw a calamity going on over here... Guess they were right, huh?"
"Have a sensei as well, huh?" Oliver raised an eyebrow, "If I had to guess you're from the eastern orders. If you're here you're at least notable. So I'll take that riddle for five-hundred Alex, and say you're a practitioner of walking and breathing?"
A calculated outdated joke. He judged her for clearly a naive person from the way she was talking. And this was where he had to be careful, naive people were easy to manipulate but it was just as easy that his attempts could bounce back into his face. The worst part about them was how unpredictable they could become if they got even a little smart.
If Lexi could tell that she was being manipulated here, she certainly wasn't showing it. Right now, no matter what was beneath the surface and no matter what this person wanted from her... This was a nice conversation anyway. She laughed at the joke, leaning forward a bit with her hands on her legs now, shaking her head before standing upright again.
"Well... I can't really say I'm from the eastern order... Or that I'm a practitioner of it. I guess I practice using it, but actually doing it is just... How I live. My sensei moved to the states to teach there, too. I wish I could say I'm some super genius martial artist but I'm just kinda lucky, hehe!~"
"Well I'll still take half-points for getting close," Oliver let go of his gloved hand. Taking off the glove her inserted it into his vest's pocket. "I'll admit I don't know too much about the east. I mostly worked in the clock tower and western nations. I spent a hazy week in Macau that I can barely remember from all the alcohol so I don't think that count. Always wanted to learn more about the Walking and Breathing techniques of the Taoists. It's a field I'm ashamed to be somewhat ignorant in."
"Well... You got the wrong gal if you're looking for a teacher, Ollie. I have no frame of reference for not breathing and walking the way I do. And I'm not very good at explaining things anyway, so you'd be better off looking elsewhere. This is my first time this far away from home, too, I'd go on trips to Europe and the Tropics but other than that I've rarely left the West Coast US of A."
She took a step back, maybe to help him feel a bit less threatened.
"I mean it's not THAT common for mages to focus in on it, right? They gotta get all their thaumawhatsit foundations and chants right... Gotta make up spells... Gotta seek things that'll get them closer to their goal, and then they gotta deal with politics, no wonder there's no time for learning that! You guys live some VERY busy lives."
She spoke with that smile still, she didn't seem to be belittling the mage life or anything, just commenting on it, shaking her head.
"I could never do that..."
"Where I'm from we pride on learning everything, so we can use it to our advantage, and eventually make it ours." he said absently to her. A bit of a set-back, he realized, he should be more careful with his guesses.
"You're an American?" Oliver allowed a tinge of his native British accent to slip through, "Hmph, I should have guessed from your energy. I did enjoy my time at the West Coast during my sophomore years. My assignment there was most interesting in the sunny state."
"Being a Magus is no easy task and is no place for those who neither posses the bloodline to be worthy or dedicate their entire lives to it. I think the term you were foundering at is thaumaturgy. And yes, we will do whatever it takes to reach the Root. Political and magecraft is simply an means to an end. And trust me, neither is bloodless from what I've seen."
He looked away to the side in an ashamed and tired sort of way, that he couldn't look her in the eye after what he had seen.
"You would be correct in the assumption you could never do this. Be thankful for that fact."
"Yeah... I figured. Real cutthroats, you guys, so says Sensei... I like to believe in the good in people, but from what I know a system like that..."
She seemed to trail off for a moment, a system of aristocracy and wealth and lineage and nepotism where reputation means all... She knew a thing or two about that kind of life... Even if probably not to that degree.
"It would sure bring out the worst in them. I'd never want to be part of a system like that... No offence."
“No offense taken,” Oliver reached into his vest and took out a cartoon of smokes, weighing it in his hand before seeming to realize that it probably wasn’t the best to light up in a space with so many sensitive equipment. He could hold off on that.
He turned around and stared at the rows on rows of cryopods. "I suppose the reason I didn't fight my god damn awful assignment could have been because I wanted to escape that culture. But hey, I'm not a therapist, though these days I feel like I could use one. And besides, if there's one thing I've learned that no matter how hard you try, you can't escape being a Magus. For most, its not a way of life. It is life."
A heavy pregnant sigh.
"Sorry for the downer... I haven't exactly had a chance to ramble on. Mostly because if I did it to the wrong person... well let's say I'd be pushing up daisies."
"Well, you've got the right person to ramble to here. I can't say I'll understand everything but... I sure will listen, and I'll do my best not to judge ya. And hey... The assignment can't be all bad. We get to save the world now, right? If something this bad has happened in here I'm gonna guess it's even worse out there..."
She scratched at her left cheek with her right hand and frowned, letting out a small groan through her pursed lips.
"Aw jeez... Don't even know how long I was out."
"Maybe. A chance to start anew if you will..." he wandered his eyes away. "You've been out for a bit. From my understanding we're in our fifth major Singularity. I only just woke up as well but I've made myself aquatinted with recent events. It's in the job. But don't worry, I don't expect we missed much. There's far more to come soon I'm sure. Speaking of which you probably should think about getting yourself a Servant. The director's a bit of an arse and she'll think you're more then useless if you lack one."
"Singularity... Servant..."
Lexi pursed her lips a little bit as her brow furrowed. She wracked her still slightly muddled brain for a moment before remembering what those terms meant and snapping her fingers.
"Oh uh, right, yeah! Oh man I need to get to work quickly, looks like I missed out on a lot already!"
She clapped her hands together and took a deep breath in through her nose and out through her mouth, trying to ground herself.
@TheInsanityThatLiesOutside

@Lexi (@RJ|Sir L/Lytus/Dude/Wolf/-/-) - jump
"Calm down." Oliver waved away her worries. "You'll catch up. First things first you should summon your servant. You should be able to do that yourself I hope. But if you have trouble don't be afraid to ask me. I can help someway I'm sure."
"I'm alright. Took me days to burn that chant into my brain, haha..."
It was less she was worried and more that she was anxious to get started and make up for time she had lost, bouncing from foot to foot a little bit with an awkward smile on her face.
"Well I uh... Guess I should be off then. See you around?"
"See you around," Oliver handed her a card, "My room number and card in case you need help and, heh, maybe something else. But come anytime and I'll see what favours I can cash in for your sake."
"If you don't mind I'll stay here. I've good some businesses to attend to."
"Oh."
She blinked a little bit, another flush coming to her face as she kind of got his general gist, before shaking her head with a nervous giggle.
"I'm not that kind of gal I'm afraid... But if I can do anything to help, too, don't be afraid to let me know... I'll see if I can grab my own room card later. Thanks for the refresher!"
She called as she hurried out into the hallway, before slowing down and taking a moment to grimace and hunch up a bit. She couldn't put her finger on it... But something felt off. Maybe she was just having trust issues... Nevertheless, she pressed on to set up a summoning appointment!
Oliver waited a minute to make sure she was gone and that he was in a blindspot from the cameras. Then he stared at the cryopod he had been sitting on. He drew his screwdriver and went to work.
while Kanu and Naomi walk through the halls of Chaldea, near the cryostasis lab... they notice one of the coffins are malfunctioning, though they cannot see who's coffin it is. It was probably going to open up soon, sooner if they decide to open the coffin and release the unknown person in it@Orphelia/Naomi/Artoria@Crafter/Flower/Illya/Dad/Oni
Something was going on as it seems that one of the coffins was going wonky again....Causing Kanu to stop where he was on hearing the beeping.
He remembered the last time one began to malfunction and that was with Ciel..Still he know the ropes and started to head over there and did what he did last time. Using the Knock spell to cause the coffin to forcefully open up.
as the coffin opened slowly opened up, Kanu saw who it was immediately. The long, wild hair and signature kimono made it hard to mistake it for anyone... as Kamino falls out of the coffin, the chain with her claw on it has rusted inside to a unusable state in the coffin. Breathing heavily as she slowly looks around, shivering from how cold it was, she was going to pull her katana out and try to slash at the two people as she was still dazed and didn't know what was happening. Until she saw who the people was "E-Eh..." she merly said, exhausted and about ready to collapse from just it releasing her, her katana was also rusty... probably everything metal on her rusted from the cold of the coffin@Orphelia/Naomi/Artoria@Crafter/Flower/Illya/Dad/Oni
Naomi was essentially walking besides Kanu. Essentially catching up on their years of being apart and pursuing their own paths in life when the coffi in the cryo room appeared to have malfunction. Needless to say the shrine maiden headed over. Her eyes shifting owards the individual. Then her eyes widened upon seeing her. Another one from her past has came to the present.
"Hoshiko... san?"
Just before she might fall over from being released. She braced herself to catch her.
"Assist me here Kanu onii chan."
"That certainly looks like her yes...completely ruined her blade as well." He mused as he gotten a good look at her weapon...all while Naomi somewhat struggled to hold up Kamino..
"Oh right.." He would go and help the miko in supporting the body guard.
"Singularity is done and now this, full of surprises today."
she looks at Naomi as she was held up, before looking at Kanu, still shivering "M-Master? Is that you?" she asked Kanu, before looking at Naomi "You too... Naomi? Am... I dead or something?" she asked, she had just a rush of memories and emotions, before she remembered something "Ah right... you forced me into this thing, huh master..." she said as she held her side "Isn't that fucking thing supposed to heal me? I still feel like there is metal in my side..."
"I would not say heal, it is more so designed to preserve your life by putting you on ice. Still, I reckon some of these people here didn't survive Lev's betrayal. And yes, the mission of Chaldea has began as Kanu onii chan here has said."
Naomi said as she breathed a sigh of relief, being able to carry Kamino a bit more easier now, now that she is being assisted by Kanu
"Let us bring her to your room onii-chan."
"Still, fuck you master... you know I hate the cold." she said as she was carried to his room, looking over at Naomi "But it has been while since I seen your face, how's your gramps." she asked, not even aware that all of humanity has ended... she was as up to date as her technology "And are you able to help me?"
the capsule opens as a figure steps out of it without fatigue, without even hesitation or wonder he starts getting ready to make his way out of this room. The white shadow has casted along the dark corridor of the lab as he makes his way out of the place
yet another master awakens to aid chaldea, truly a beautiful flower has arises to help humanity persevere this time. Barefoot she walks out of the lab and get herself fixed first and foremost
Silence.
That's all there had been since the moment of the explosion.
She simply felt herself slip away as her limbs went numb, her vision fading.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
And now...She was here.
Within the chamber, a finger has twitched.
Conscience returned to the body.
Her readings spiked upwards, beginning to seem acceptable.
Lively, even.
As the entrance slid open, her arm trembled forward.
She wanted to leave.
She-
Tripped on herself.
Falling upon the tiled floor, she let out a whimpy "Unf-!", before beginning the currently arduous task of getting on her feet-
I suppose this is what happens when one is frozen for...how long, even?
weeks?
months?
years?
it's...not like she could tell.
She simply made the effort to stand, and gain a sense of location once more.
6:10 PM
(Where...?)
She made the effort to remember.
Letting out a cough, she could feel her head thump just a bit less every second.
(Right...An explosion.)
(...)
She crossed herself after a moment, holding her hands in prayer
(Thank you, Lord; for preserving the life of your envoy.)
(May things have gone as you've planned.)
Taking a deep breather, Beatriz began to look for an exit
From within yet another Cryopod, one of the many sleeping master stirs. Blinking her eyes, she watches as the machine she’s currently entrapped in acknowledge her waking consciousness, and slowly eject the gasses that have been keeping her stable all this while. For a precious few moments, she simply stood still.Before she immediately tries kicking open the door without bothering for the many safety precautions taking place.THUMP”FUCKING”THUMPScreams of fury sounded in between the kicks.”RELEASE ME”THUMP”YOU DEFECTIVE”THUMP”PIECE OF SHIT!”With a final kick, the Cryo pod door is at last forced open… alongside a howl of pain as she rather expectantly broke her foot.
Hearing the sound of a fellow idiot Master existing cryo sleep Akane ran into the Lab to check everything was alright, making her way inside and seeing the Master Candidate who just exited the pod she reach for a set of clothes and passed them to the girl
"I know your foot hurts like heck but you might want these?" Akane looked at the girls foot, from her time helping out around a farm she could tell that it was probably broken of had a new fracture@Baka | Olga, Theisoa
”Shit, thou must be the Oracle of Delphi… of damned course my blasted foot art broken! Fuck, it shall be a massive pain in the arse for two days till it set recovered…”
Seeing the offered clothes, immediately Thea yanks them out of her hands, and roughly pulls them on, only midway through putting on the shirt, did Thea finally remember her manners.
“…hmph, but thou hath mine thanks, though.”
"You did kick reinforced steel like a moron so...that was kina your own fault there, I'm Akane Gyūnyū. Nice to meet you!" The girl put her hand forwards for a handshake with a big smile
"Hey your going to make it worse if you try to walk on it it, do you have muscle for brains wait up." Akane ran up and attempted to help Theisoa walk by acting as a support
Has 21 Strength, and 9 IntelligenceAkane is probably on to something
“Tch, it shall heal by thineself in two nights. This pain art nothing to be afraid of.”
She attempts to shake Akane off, but with a sharp pain flaring off the broken foot as she twisted it attempting to do so, she relents.
"I feel like you don't have many friends, you can rely on other people for help just so you know." Akane said bluntly
"I can be your friend if you want!"
Thea’s eye slightly twitched, as she felt as if she had been insulted somehow.
“Hunting. Wrestling. Engaging in battle is an enjoyable pastime, I suppose. Doth thou know where mine belongings are? By the Olympians, if they hath scrapped mine blades, I will raise Tartarus…”
She grumbled out the last sentence in a dour tone*
Akane tilted her head and closer her eyes with a frown "I didn't understand any of that...but I also like Wrestling! When I was nine I got to see Keiji Muto at a wrestling event he was so cool!"
"Oh your belongings? I haven't even found mine yet, maybe the vault?"
”Keiji Muto? Foreign. Never heard of him.”
Thea bluntly said, before she hissed in pain as she put a little too much pressure on the broken leg again.
“Then, doth thou know where the vault art?”
"Oh its on the ninth floor! I believe we are on floor five so its not too far away- Oh um do you think you can make it down all those stairs?"
@Baka | Olga, Theisoa
”Hmph, if it art on the ninth floor, than to the ninth floor we shall travel.”
With that brave front, she takes another step, before promptly face planting on the floor with her broken leg unable to support the weight.
"LOL! Your confidence it kinda cute but you might want to take things a little slower for now, here learn on my shoulder." Akane picked Theisoa up and leaned her on her shoulder
"You wanna go get your foot healed first?"(edited)
Thea gritted her teeth together as she was picked up, being pitied and handled like this was a new feeling, and an aggravating one.
“I’m fine. Leave thine concerns for thineself.”
Attempting to push herself off of Akame, Thea once more attempts to hobble out of the room and towards the stares on her lonesome, but now grasping the walls for support and to alleviate the weight on her broken appendage.
“Ugh I don’t get who your trying to impress my making your injuries worse, I’ll wait for their then but don’t blame me when you have to get your foot cut off.”
Akane pouted before waking out of the door and waiting outside, she didn’t want leave someone who was hurt by their self
”Senseless worries. I am a Lycanthrope. I hath faced, and recovered from wounds worse. I am naught so damned fragile to not resuscitate from so minor an injury as a blasted fractured femur.”
Thea simple dismissed her worries once more, as she at last, slowly but surely made her way out of the cryogenic chamber.
“Well you made it out of the first room Thei, what’s your plan for the stairs?”
Akane questioned Theisoa as she poke her check with a look of curiosity
She looked at Akane like she grew a second head, before grumbling out a few more lines.
“Tis’ the way of Life Thou art to be self sufficient, or to be worthless. Prove thine worth, or thou art worse than useless. A drain on resources, with naught a reason for thine continued existence. Art that not obvious to thee?”
“I think that sounds kinda dumb.” Akane shrugged
“And I don’t think I can watch someone spend ten minutes to crawl out of the icy room attempt to descend the stairs, now stay still.”
Akane walked towards Thiesoa and attempted to pick her up
“It’s either this or I use the bat.”
Thea attempts to resist the grab at first, but with her broken leg, which was only hurting more with more with her use, she inevitably proved unable to. And she was at the very least not so barbaric to harm Akame, no matter how vexing this was.
“Tch… agh! Fine! Do as thou wishes, human!”(edited)
“Righto let’s get you to the infirmary and then we can go look for your stuff!”
After lifting up Theisoa marched onwards towards the infirmary, she was happy she didn’t need to use her bat and surprised that Thea didn’t seem to upset with being carried@Baka | Olga, Theisoa
The cryostasis lab was once again quiet yet that silence was broken by a cryopod opening up. A male stepped out of the pod, he placed a hand on his head as he looked around the cryostasis room. He looked down at himself and shook his head before using a simple spell to get these fluids from the cryopod off of him.
"Now... To get some Clothes..."
He walked over and grabbed a Chaldean uniform, putting it on he looked over himself for a minute before nodding.
"This will do, now then."
He started looking around the cryostasis room, checking the cryopods for two specific people. He eventually found one of the two he was looking for but couldn't find the other.
"I guess she woke up before us... I hope she's ok."
With one last look at the pod containing his older sister he walked out of the room. He needed to find out what's been happening while he was asleep and find out if Phem was ok.
