Part One of Three: SEARCH PARTIES // HOSTAGES - Pre-battle prep

[nishimono.livejournal.com]

[You've all searched long and hard to get here--a strange manor surrounded by thick forests and right near the mountains that encompass Paradisa's castle. It's old-looking and you can't quite place the architecture...and it has an oddly empty feel to it. It certainly doesn't look like the place where a guts-eating monster would be dwelling, nor where she'd kidnap and torture people. But appearances can certainly be deceiving...

Now that everyone involved knows where she is, it's time to converge and figure out a battle plan.]

[ she hesitates ]

Not major ones. I think I can do things like wrapping someone's arm or leg though. [ trails off... does she have to go into the kitchen :c ]

[ontheclockpro.livejournal.com]

[he nods and goes to sit over to the bed]

Guess we'll have to find out.

[And he pulls out a small knife that he keeps with himself and starts rolling up his sleeve B) ]

[firsttsurugi.livejournal.com]

[Cloud'll just be over here. setting some things up with wrapping, rubbing alcohol, ya know. but he looks back now and then]

[ontheclockpro.livejournal.com]

[Sup Cloud he'll just be over here...being Reno like]

[firsttsurugi.livejournal.com]

[everyone in VII's a buncha red mages. y/n/horray for multitaskers? yeowch that thar lesson for Uru looks like it hurts. ... for the average person. he approves]

[wornbright.livejournal.com]

I guess as long as someone is helping... it'll be okay.

[ watches him... wtf is he doing ]

[ontheclockpro.livejournal.com]

Yeah, but we might be busy.

[Oh you know, just slicing along his own arm about seven inches or so. Its slightly deep, but not to the point where you see bone. But hey there's blood]

[wornbright.livejournal.com]

[ OH

MY

GOD ]

[wornbright.livejournal.com]

W-WHAT ARE YOU DOING?! [ jumps at the sight reno being a SUICIDAL MANIAC ]

[ontheclockpro.livejournal.com]

{He's very calm about it as he's watching the bleeding happening]

Seeing if you can treat a wound properly. I told you, the real thing ain't anything like a book.

You better get to it, I'm losing a good amount of blood.

1/2

[wornbright.livejournal.com]

But--

[wornbright.livejournal.com]

YOU DON'T HAVE TO CUT YOURSELF!!

[ but she still grabs a clean towel and places it on reno's wound. she takes a look around for the rubbing alcohol and when she spots it, she starts cleaning the blood away from reno's arm ]

[ontheclockpro.livejournal.com]

Sure I do, I need to know if you'll freak out at the sight of blood and be able to keep a cool head.

You can't be much help if you pass out, after all.

[And he'll hold the arm steady, not at all caring about the pain. He's watching to make sure she's doing things properly]

[wornbright.livejournal.com]

I'm not afraid of blood. [ she looks at the cut again, looks clean enough so she takes his hand for a second ]

I-It doesn't hurt, does it? You need to hold onto this a second.

[ making sure he has his hand there so she can quickly get the rubbing alcohol ]

[ontheclockpro.livejournal.com]

I can see that.

Tch, I've had way worse than this. [He holds the towel as instructed]

[wornbright.livejournal.com]

You shouldn't cut yourself! [ is going to think reno is suicidal forever now ]

[ she grabs the bandages and rubbing alcohol along with some cotton and heads back, opening the bottle ]

This might sting...

[ontheclockpro.livejournal.com]

I don't usually cut myself, only when necessary.

[He shrugs]

It will sting, but all right. I can handle it.

1/2

[wornbright.livejournal.com]

When is it ever necessary?!

[wornbright.livejournal.com]

Okay... like this. [ reassuring herself as she dips the cotton with alcohol then presses it to the wound and slowly starts wiping around ]

[ontheclockpro.livejournal.com]

You'd be surprised.

[Doesn't seem to mind the stinging]

Do dabbing, not wiping when you're closer to the wound. It hurts less.

[wornbright.livejournal.com]

Okay! [ dabs instead ] Right... now the bandage. [ picks it up and begins wrapping his arm firmly ]

[ontheclockpro.livejournal.com]

[And he'll hold out his arm carefully so she can bandage]

I would have healed myself if you had, and told you not to help out in here.

[wornbright.livejournal.com]

[ this look forever OMG YOU JERK 8'( ]

[ontheclockpro.livejournal.com]

What?

I had to make sure you weren't bluffing.

[wornbright.livejournal.com]

[ fffff ]

I wouldn't bluff about this.
