FINAL TRIAL

"ENJOY THE REST OF YOUR STAY!!! :-)"

That's a message from Chirpy, as that group leaves the records room. Though really, there's not much time left; a fact impressed upon you regardless of whether you had a overly helpful bumbling robot or not.

Take some time to discuss what you've found and equip your new found loot in the open research lab. It's not a bad place for an impromptu meeting considering it's size.

Though sooner, rather than later, you'll need to head deeper still, to meet your two administrators, who surely know you're coming by now.

(( OOC: Welcome to Endgame! This is for all the bananas, so good luck! We'll give you 1 hour OOC to discuss your invest findings, and then it's onto the final confrontation. ))

[In the chaos, Billy witnesses Lacus get skewered in the collar area, and nearly forgets where he is as he goes to help her, getting the spike out of her and trying to plug the blood.]

Hey, c'mon, lass. Not gonna fuckin' lose you, don't you even think about goin' out like this.

[It's all too familiar, isn't it?]

[idologue]

[ Lacus barely even screamed, genuinely too shocked by the sudden pain to do anything at all. Now that she's off the spike and laying down on the floor, held up by Billy, there is some recognition of what is even going on.

Is she... dying? This can't be it, she promised--

Below Billy's caring hand, the tissue within her moves. What was a stab wound clean through her body heals itself from the inside out -- and the necklace shatters over her chest. ]

I...

[ She feels like she can breathe properly again, but that just means the pain is properly kicking in now. Lacus winces. The former stab wound is still bleeding, both a the back and of the front of her body, but it's flesh wounds now.

Nasty, painful flesh wounds. ]

Hnngh-- Th-thank you. Magic sure is... convenient, huh?

[handsheld]

[ she can probably feel his eyes on her like that one time but

like then, he stays where he is.

timings important. ]

[idologue]

[ It's the only thing she'd ever ask of him, anyway. Maybe that was a mistake on her part?

But it is how it is, and she's still breathing. The game isn't over yet. ]

[butcherspice]

[Oh thank god. Maybe powers aren't the worst thing ever if it's managed to keep Lacus alive. He can feel the panic start to recede leaving relief combined with his general anger that she's been hurt.]

Whew--guess it is. Can't have you bitin' it here, alright?

[They gotta end this sooner rather than later.]

[idologue]

[ He looks better when he's not panicked. Lacus knows how much pain the people who died here have caused her. She'd had to inflict that on somebody else. ]

I've promised I'd survive through this... I hate to break a promise.

[ Which... doesn't make it better that she just almost got stabbed. ]

[dakicover]

Well, let’s make sure you don’t break it, then? Sorry if this is a bit too close, though.

[ it may not be coming from the best person, but crea’s not going to let anyone else die if he can help it.

he settles a hand near her injury, helping to heal it. ]

[idologue]

Don't you apologize for helping me. I cannot overstate my gratitude.

[ With Crea's assistance, the bleeding finally ceases and the wounds look... well, like they still hurt a bit, but since Lacus is actually sitting up in her own power now, she can hardly complain. ]

[dakicover]

Heh, it’s the least that I can do. I don’t believe I have good compatibility offensively, considering his abilities, so I’ll do my best to offer support instead.

[butcherspice]

Hah. Harder customer than you look.

[He gives her a soft smile.]

[idologue]

[ That gets a smile that borders on a smirk. ]

I've been told so on occasion.
