21st Wheel of Fate [Written]

[Alright. Waking up in a cell in the tunnels is one thing. Being stuck there since then? That's another thing entirely. It's far, far, far too reminiscent of being stuck in the Boundary... only even worse. At least the Boundary was at least slightly more comfortable than... this. Regardless, ν-13 is, simply put, sick of being stuck in her little cell. And it's high time that she tried to think of a way out.

...Fortunately, it looks like the person that dropped her off here didn't manage to find her journal - safely tucked away in the small bit of space between the armor on her right leg and the leg itself. Not the most comfortable place to hide it in, but... well, it looks like it worked.

When she's certain that nobody is around to pay attention to her, she'll write a quick message to the people she's on good terms with... albeit with two exceptions. She's not sure if one of the people this is directed at is back in Luceti yet, but seeing as Noel had already returned a few days ago...]

[Filtered to Ragna, Noel, Tsubaki, Goroh, Thirteen and Ted // 100% unhackable]

[The writing's slightly messier than usual, but it's definitely legible.]

Can one of you come to the eastern tunnels? [Vague? Yes. She'll elaborate once one of them responds. Because as much as she hates to admit it, the damn power cap down here's keeping her from breaking out on her own. And it's... kind of hard to move with her armor active, too. Sigh.]

[That... is a very random message, which worried him.] Nu? What's going on?

[Whew, someone responded. ...Now how the hell is she supposed to say this. Um.

Ted might notice that the picture's showing ν-13 wearing her armor. Inside the tunnels. This... should not be.]

...I think I might need help. [She's pretty certain about that, actually. Stupid power cap.

...Stupid ridiculously heavy armor, too.]

[... That looks hard to move in.] You... can't move? [Wait, no, that one's obvious.] Right, uh, wait for me. I'll get there and see what I can do.

Yeah. [That's because it is. Normally the armor's weight isn't an issue, but with the power cap negating most of the abilities her Murakumo unit grants her...]

...All right. I'll wait. [Not like she can do anything else here. Aside from scribble in her journal or something, anyway.]

[Well, it was better than being destroyed by monsters are staying in any supposedly safe but crowded areas. Ted will just go look for you, Nu. Give him a little more than half an hour to find the tunnels.]

[Meanwhile, she'd much, much, much rather be out there dealing with some of the monsters. At least that's fun for her, unlike being locked up in the tunnels.

She'll wait, though. She'll just... pass the time writing down stuff in an entry filtered to herself for the time being.]

[Doo dee doo dee doo~ At some point in time, he does reach the tunnels though, looking around for her.] Nu? Where are you?

[By this point, Thirteen had already made it to the tunnels, in no small part thanks to Lugia. Hearing a voice nearby, he quickly draws his handgun and looks around the corner it came from.

About then it registers that he's looking for Nu. Maybe he's here to help too. He'll beckon Ted over to him.]

Hey, over here.

[There was someone else here? Ted quickly comes over, looking around for any other companions this guy has.] Are you one of Nu's friends?

[For the moment, he's alone.]

Was going to ask you the same thing. She call you as well?

[...This is very unusual. Nu rarely asks for anything at all. Alarm sensors go off in his head.]

Nu? Are you hurt? What happened?

[What's also unusual is that her writing sounds more normal than the way she normally speaks. Though it's not that obvious just yet]

A bit. I'm not really sure what happened, but... I woke up in the tunnels a while ago. [And her head hurts just trying to think about what the hell happened, for some reason. Ow ow ow.

...And it's really longer than a while, but her sense of time's a bit... off right now.]

Are you stuck down there? Do you need help?

[Well, Ted already offered to help, but considering how much this stupid armor weighs...]

...Yeah. [That's in response to both questions, of course.]

[...Thirteen knew the risks involved in doing this. He's going outside into the summon swarm. Again. It's really dangerous out there. And though he has Lugia's assistance, it could still get dicey.

...But Nu had stuck her neck out for him and saved his life already. He didn't feel indebted to her, no. But she had already proven she would be there for him when he needed help. He may not know the details, but right now, Nu needs help. It's not a matter of paying back. It's a matter of being a real friend at this point.]

...I'm on my way. [He turns away from the journal for a moment.] Lugia, you ready?

[With that, Thirteen picks up his gun from off a table nearby and gets ready to move.]

The eastern tunnels? [...] What happened to you, Nu?

[P.S. your cats say hi.]

I'm not really sure. But... I woke up here a while ago. [Later in the day on Thursday, but her sense f time's a bit off.

...and hi to you too, cats. You two had better be fine until she gets out of here, dammit.]

[That must have been some wild party, Nu.]

So you're stuck there? [...] You're not hurt are you?

[Oh, they're fine... unless that panda has been causing trouble again. And Tsubaki wouldn't put it past him.]

[If only that was what happened.]

Yeah. I'm a bit injured, but... I'll be fine, really! [She just... needs to find some way out while the power cap is still down. Her Azure Grimoire should take care of any injuries she has if she can do that.

And good. The last thing she needs right now is finding out that her cats aren't doing well.]

[It is what happened. You had a big party and invited everyone but Tsubaki. Don't lie. ;_;]

Right.

...How can I help? [Because knowing Nu is injured isn't sitting well with her, but even if she frolicked down to the tunnels, there probably wouldn't be much she could actually do to get Nu out of there on her own.]

[If only. If only.]

Um... I'm not sure if there's anything you can do. Thirteen and Ted already offered to help out. [Not to mention Tsubaki likely wouldn't be able to help that much. ~~Though the idea of a triple-T team helping Nu break out of the tunnels amuses her mun more than it should.~~]

...The cats are okay, right? [Just... making sure. She's kind of worried about them.]

[~~Way to get that idea stuck in my head.~~]

They are. There's no need to worry.

[She points the journal at the cats so Nu'll be able to see that there's nothing wrong with them...]

[...Which is when she notices that they're actually leaving scratch marks on her wooden closet.]

Hey!

Edited 2010-08-18 12:09 (UTC)

[...Even though this probably shouldn't be amusing, it still prompts a small smile from the Murakumo. Though something about it seems a bit... off.]

Aww, looks like they're trying to get your attention, Tsubaki~ [Well, she's... not really sure about that, but it seems kind of likely to her right now. Why else would they be scatching up her furniture?

...Don't answer that. Just... don't.]
