Maribel Hearn Quest: ACT III

[Monarda]

>"IT WAS A ACCIDENT! PLEASE CLAIM DOWN."

>Calm, not claim.
>Gently, very gently hug her on the table, being careful of the arm.
>"I'm sorry i'm sorry i'm sorry..."

[Monarda]

//Quick add-on.

>Turn to Reisen worriedly.
>"Don't you have any anesthetics around ? Anything to get rid of the pain so my friend doesn't suffer ?"

>"IT WAS A ACCIDENT! PLEASE CLAIM DOWN"

>Calm, not claim.
>Gently, very gently hug her on the table, being careful of the arm.
>"I'm sorry i'm sorry i'm sorry..."

>"^{_{P-Please d-don't let her h-hurt me again...}}" Rengeteki whimpers as you hug her.

>Turn to Reisen worriedly.
>"Don't you have any anesthetics around ? Anything to get rid of the pain so my friend doesn't suffer ?"

>"Well... painkillers aren't really meant to be given during an examination." Reisen frowns, "And I was only trying to find the spot on her arm that seemed to be the root of the problem... We could probably take an x-ray to see what the problem is without having to physically feel for it, but using it is expensive... Besides, it would probably be better if we waited for Eirin to get back. She likely knows the most efficient way to diagnose her painlessly..."
>_

[Monarda]

>"She didn't mean it dear... it's just that your injury seems very serious, it;s incredible how you spent all this time like that...."
>Turn to Reisen and nod sadly.
>"...can she at least stay here ? Her house was ransacked, so it isn't safe there anymore, and if she stays here we can request Dr. Eirin's help immediately once she comes back."

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>"She didn't mean it dear... it's just that your injury seems very serious, it;s incredible how you spent all this time like that...."

>"_{^{...It's a-actually not that bad... I-I've lived w-with this for y-years...}}"

>Turn to Reisen and nod sadly.
>"...can she at least stay here ? Her house was ransacked, so it isn't safe there anymore, and if she stays here we can request Dr. Eirin's help immediately once she comes back."

>"Well-" Reisen begins.
>"W-W-WAIT Y-YOU'RE J-JUST GOING T-TO LEAVE ME HERE!?!" Rengeteki looks hurt, "I-I... I-I... _{^{I-I d-don't e-even trust t-the p-people h-here...}}"
>_

[Monarda]

>"No ! It's not like that... did you see what happened to your home ? We can't let that happen again..."
>Hold her left hand.
>"I guess the only other way would be if you tagged with us too... i want to keep you safe from this Layla person...."

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>"No ! It's not like that... did you see what happened to your home ? We can't let that happen again..."
>Hold her left hand.
>"I guess the only other way would be if you tagged with us too... i want to keep you safe from this Layla person...."

>"N-No... L-Layla i-is dangerous.... I-I don't want y-you getting hurt p-protecting m-me..." Rengeteki looks you in the eye, "I-I d-don't want y-you hurt... B-But I-I don't w-want you to l-leave me either... you... y-you..." she turns away and mumbles so that you can barely hear it, "_{^{Y-You are the first person in a long time that I've consider a friend and that I truly feel safe around...}}"

[Monarda]

>Look a bit surprised by her words, then smile.
>"Regenteki... thank you, but i really care about your safety, and i can't let someone try to harm you, you are my friend... no... more than that.... you feel like family, like i said before."

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>Look a bit surprised by her words, then smile.
>"Regenteki... thank you, but i really care about your safety, and i can't let someone try to harm you, you are my friend... no... more than that.... you feel like family, like i said before."

>"T-Then l-let me c-come with you... b-but i-if we r-run into L-Layla or h-her underlings... j-just run... D-Don't try t-to fight..."
>"Underlings?" Sanae asks.
>_

[Monarda]

>"She said that it wasn't Layla herself that came, but some people under her command it seems."
>Look back at her.
>"Of course i will let you come, but if she threatens you, even if a tiny bit, i will fight them until you are back to safety."

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>"She said that it wasn't Layla herself that came, but some people under her command it seems."

>"Huh, so this rosin probably isn't even hers." Sanae frowns.

>Look back at her.
>"Of course i will let you come, but if she threatens you, even if a tiny bit, i will fight them until you are back to safety."

>"P-Please don't...." Rengeteki replies.
>_

[Monarda]

>"Don't worry, i can hold my own, my powers would help me too, since i could make a gap for you to escape, and then i could follow you soon after, it would be alright."
>Pat her head.

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>"Don't worry, i can hold my own, my powers would help me too, since i could make a gap for you to escape, and then i could follow you soon after, it would be alright."
>Pat her head.

>You pat the frowning Rengeteki.

>"Huh, you know what, now that I think about it... Maybe this does belong to the person I'm thinking of... Maybe she's a witness?" says Sanae as she continues to study the rosin.
>_

[the old guy]

>"Who?"

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>"Who?"

>"Lunasa Prismriver. She's the violinist of the Prismriver Ensemble. They're like a 3-person orchestra."

>"^{_{Prismriver...}}" Rengeteki mumbles to herself, "^{_{W-was that it...?}}"
>_

[Monarda]

>"The name isn't the same so... what does she look like ? Her appearance i mean."
>What did Layla look like again according to Rengeteki ?

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>"The name isn't the same so... what does she look like ? Her appearance i mean."

>"Well, she's blonde, has yellow eyes, and she wears primarily black clothing with a matching hat, and the hat has a red crescent moon decoration on the top.  She always has her violin with her." Sanae replies.

>What did Layla look like again according to Rengeteki ?

>Rengeteki described Layla as having green, wavy hair, as well as green eyes. And that she wears a purple dress.

>"^{_{Prismriver... Prismriver... I-I swear that s-sounds familiar...}}" Rengeteki continues to mumble.
>_

[Monarda]

>"Hm... it doesn't fit the description we have, Layla has an Green and wavy hair, with a matching eye color, and her dress is purple, not black...."

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>"Hm... it doesn't fit the description we have, Layla has an Green and wavy hair, with a matching eye color, and her dress is purple, not black...."

>"Well, that still doesn't rule out the fact that Lunasa might be a possible witness..." says Sanae
>_

[Monarda]

>Nod, then look worriedly.
>"Or it could be the worst case scenario......"

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>Nod, then look worriedly.
>"Or it could be the worst case scenario......"

>"Which would be...?"
>_

[Monarda]

>Look away.
>"That this Lunasa is one of the assailants that ransacked her home...."

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>Look away.
>"That this Lunasa is one of the assailants that ransacked her home...."

>"I doubt it." Sanae frowns, "It doesn't make sense for Lunasa or her sisters to do such a thing. They'd much rather perform."
>_

[Monarda]

>"I know... but the kidnappings don't make much sense either do they ? Why does music have to play before the person is kidnapped ? I just hope this ends soon..."

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>"I know... but the kidnappings don't make much sense either do they ? Why does music have to play before the person is kidnapped ? I just hope this ends soon..."

>"No, they don't. And I hope so too... I think I'll ask Lunasa about this rosin later... If she was a witness, then it least means I have a possible lead to whoever this 'Layla' is."
>_

[Monarda]

>Nod.
>"May we come with you ? If this doesn't get solved, we will be continuously in danger while out there, so the more people working on it, the better."

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>Nod.
>"May we come with you ? If this doesn't get solved, we will be continuously in danger while out there, so the more people working on it, the better."

>"Um... Sure, I don't see any problem with that. Though, I have to ask: Can you fight? I mean, this is an incident after all, and that usually means at least one spellcard duel is a given..."
>_

[Monarda]

>"Yes, i have no spellcard, but i can hold my own, and in case things get too dangerous i can gap us out of there."

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>"Yes, i have no spellcard, but i can hold my own, and in case things get too dangerous i can gap us out of there."

>"Gap?" Sanae tilts her head.
>_

[Monarda]

>"Well.... uh... it's my ability, i can create a sort of gap on borders, like this."
>Make a gap in front of us leading to the other side of the room.
>"It's very useful for transportation."
