[sangreine]

[ Lumine's question should be answered momentarily -- once Venti heals enough to snap her out of her stupor, Aliza -- now as a cute, if bloody, little lamb, opens her eyes... ]

[ And starts screaming. Normally a sheep trying to scream might be a little funny, especially if it was in an impotent rage, but this isn't anger. She's terrified. ]

[ She thrashes a bit too, as well as she can given the state of her, but it's not directed at anyone. Just aimless kicking and squirming, as she tries to escape the confinement that no longer holds her. ]

[ He was going to comment that the wounds look self-inflicted . . . but the flailing lamb beats him to the punch.

Punch, like a hoof to the face.

He's going down, fellas ]

Re: @🌸🌼🌻🌷🌺🌹🍃

[at_heart]

She was fine when she—

[ Shit, okay, well, illusory tree roots gonna do what they can to pin her down. It should at least feel convincingly like she can't move. ]

Re: @🌸🌼🌻🌷🌺🌹🍃

[glidinglight]

Crap!

[ If those tree roots aren't enough to help keep Aliza in place--Lumine's darting in in spite of the still flailing hooves and placing one hand on the lamb's neck and the other on the ground, a chain forming in the space between to hold her in place. ]

Re: @🌸🌼🌻🌷🌺🌹🍃

[sangreine]

[ Between the illusion of roots holding her limbs and the actual chain around her neck, Aliza can't move -- but, truly confined once again, she redoubles her frightened sheep shrieking, head thrashing as much as she can in her current position. ]

Re: @🌸🌼🌻🌷🌺🌹🍃

[at_heart]

[ Good, great, everything's wonderful.

Very low, to Lumine, ]

I don't want to get any closer to her, I do not think seeing me again would help her calm down. But since we're done trying to hide people, maybe something more like...

[ Transition the illusion to a beach? ]

Re: @🌸🌼🌻🌷🌺🌹🍃

[glidinglight]

That's a good start, I think.

[ she sighs. ZRAEL's power set is really good at some things, but other things--not so much. Mind Crush probably isn't going to do much to calm her down. So then... the best thing to try to do would be to probably try approaching her?

In a calm, soft voice, ]

Hey, Aliza. It's Lumine. You know me, right?

[ She reaches down to stroke the still-shrieking lamb's fur. ]

It's okay. You're okay now.

Re: @🌸🌼🌻🌷🌺🌹🍃

[sangreine]

[ The sea is a good start, and with Lupine knowing her has he does she can probably see the water from where she's lying. It takes a second to register being that she's still fairly concussed since the bludgeoned her healer, but once her eyes slowly focus on the waves she slowly, finally calms. ]

[ Lumine's voice is distorted and far away, but the soothing tone itself helps, and the gentle touch helps more. Soon she's just bleating softly and breathing her uncomfortable, clogged sounding breaths. ]

Re: @🌸🌼🌻🌷🌺🌹🍃

[at_heart]

[ ...Yeah, that's... obviously better. Maybe he'll lead with this next time.

Looking over for Venti, because this should be a better window for him to approach..........? ]

Re: @🌸🌼🌻🌷🌺🌹🍃

[outofoffice]

[ He nods, but does so a little -- warily -- approaching like he expects more flying hooves.

When it doesn't happen, though, he crouches down beside Lumine and places a hand on Aliza's flank again, resuming the healing that was interrupted earlier. ]

Re: @🌸🌼🌻🌷🌺🌹🍃

[sangreine]

[ Luckily for all there is no further injury! Everything's full of vertigo and haze but it's at least one that has her managed enough not to be fighting the chains or whatever beach-oriented illusion is holding her now instead of roots. Seaweed or a fishing net perhaps, or territorial crabs? For now, she's still. ]

[ Best think of something, she's probably not going to stay this way. Especially with a manacle around her neck. ]

Re: @🌸🌼🌻🌷🌺🌹🍃

[outofoffice]

[ He keeps stroking her flank, glancing back to the others. ]

I think . . . she'll be alright. But we need to figure out how to keep her out of trouble until this wears off.

Re: @🌸🌼🌻🌷🌺🌹🍃

[glidinglight]

If we're going to keep her chained up long term, we'll need her to be back in her usual form.

[ She doesn't want to find out what happens when chains in the shape for a lamb try to get reused for something in a completely different shape and size. ]

Re: @🌸🌼🌻🌷🌺🌹🍃

[at_heart]

[ Thanks, he hates it. But he's sure he isn't the only one. ]

I know she likes the storm room better than her own.

[ Might be making a mental note to talk to her about upgrading herself to a beach, though. ]

Re: @🌸🌼🌻🌷🌺🌹🍃

[childeishly]

[ asdfgh! o- ok, this is more in line with what he had been expecting. ]

Venti-! [ he leaves lambizarin to lupine and lumine, grabbing venti's pink goth whatever the hell he's wearing to keep him from cracking his head on the pavement as he goes down. ]

...she clocked you good, huh. [ going to just tuck the twink under his arm and move them a bit away from all the... everything before he sets him down. ] Let me have a look.

Re: @🌸🌼🌻🌷🌺🌹🍃

[outofoffice]

Ughhhh . . .

[ There is a LOT OF BLOOD coming from his nose, that's for sure. He's pliant and easy to haul around. ]

What the heck . . .

Re: @🌸🌼🌻🌷🌺🌹🍃

[childeishly]

[ sets him down, dusts him off, and cups his chubby archon cheeks. ] ...even as a lamb she still packs a punch. [ he's careful as he applies a little pressure here and moves it a little bit there. ]

Alright. I want you to look at me. [ he oozes some calming pheromones. ] It's broken, but broken noses are nothing. It's an easy fix. Just one, two, and- [ he's breaking it back into place. ] Good as new.

[ tears a bit of his shirt and offers it to him. ]

[ look. LOOK.
he had his own head injury the other day.
but also this is old snezhnayan solution. ]

Re: @🌸🌼🌻🌷🌺🌹🍃

[outofoffice]

[ OH MY GOD???

He makes an indignant little noise -- at least let him numb it you barbarian! -- and goes cross-eyed in an attempt to see his own nose. It does . . . feel . . . better? He thinks? ]

W-What did you just do??

[ Taking the torn cloth and dabbing as his face a bit ]

Re: @🌸🌼🌻🌷🌺🌹🍃

[childeishly]

[ he can't numb it, he's not a sensit- oh. hm! ]

[ blinks, looking a little confused, because... that sure is a dumb question. venti, buddy, he just fixed your nose!!! duh. ] ...she broke your nose, with that kick, don't you remember? [ sets a hand on his shoulder. ] She didn't get you in the head too, did she?

I fixed it. [ tail. wag. ] That's how we do it in Snezhnaya. [ because during the snowstorms you can't get to a doctor, so you've got to get creative. also childe would rather do anything other than see dottore, so... ]

Re: @🌸🌼🌻🌷🌺🌹🍃

[outofoffice]

[ TSARITSA, DARLING, WHAT KIND OF COUNTRY ARE YOU RUNNING OVER THERE?

Venti just rubs his face ]

Of course, of course.

Thank you, Caeli, it's much better.

[ it fucking hurts ]

Re: @🌸🌼🌻🌷🌺🌹🍃

[childeishly]

[ BEST NATION,
JUST PERMA WINTER...
MUCH HARSH, MANY SNOW. ]

[ beams!!! ] It might just bleed a little bit more, as there's likely an excess of blood still in the passage, but that's it.

Re: @🌸🌼🌻🌷🌺🌹🍃

[outofoffice]

How many times have you done this exactly?

Re: @🌸🌼🌻🌷🌺🌹🍃

[childeishly]

At least twenty-three.

Re: @🌸🌼🌻🌷🌺🌹🍃

[outofoffice]

That's so many!

Re: @🌸🌼🌻🌷🌺🌹🍃

[childeishly]

It's a low ball guess, but given the amount of I've seen, had, and caused... it's probably close... ish.
