VERTILINE [ 2 ]

[lilyground]

[The comm clicks on to broadcast the voice of a very distressed Lily. Well, "distressed" is an understatement. She sounds absolutely frantic.]

CAN MICE CLIMB TREES?

[See, it's relevant because she's high up in a tree somewhere, hiding from the mayhem. You may be thinking, but Lily is a battle loli! Surely she could fight the infestation! One

[dovewithadream]

[Way to send her into a panic.]

You need a band-aid or maybe a bandage! How bad is it?

[lilyground]

its not that bad but its bleding a lot

[By normal human standards it is. Lily has been so desensitized to pain that it feels like a scratch.

Except it's not.]

[fallintheriver]

Lick it.

[Folk remedy advice, get.]

[lilyground]

Really?

[LICK. Euuugh, that tastes bad.]

Are you sure?

[fallintheriver]

Yeah. Mine always feel better after they're licked.

[lilyground]

It feels fine. I mean, it doesn't hurt a lot. It's just bleeding. And I don't think licking it will stop the bleeding. That'll just... smear it. I think. [...] But I don't know.

[YOU SOUND VERY YOUNG AND ARE CLEARLY IN A PANIC. This worries Yuna.

Normally, she'd suggest casting Cure, but since she can't actually do that here...]

Get a bandage or a piece of cloth and wrap it around the wound. Be sure to apply pressure.

Where are you? I'll try to find you and see if I can help. [Even amidst all this chaos, Yuna knows she can still make herself useful by helping someone who's been hurt.]

[lilyground]

I'm in a tree and I'm not coming down. There are evil mice and evil rabbits and I'm scared. So I'm staying here. Forever.

[Mostly forever.]

[summonupastorm]

[Ffffffffff.]

Where is the tree? [THERE ARE A LOT HERE, LILY. Still, if Yuna knows where it is, then she can get some bandages and bring them over there.]

[lilyground]

... In... the jungle...? I don't really know...

[A++]

[bellator_lucis]

[The Warrior is looking for you now, Lily.]

Put your sleeve over your hand and keep the pressure on it. The bleeding will stop on its own.

What can you see from your tree?

[lilyground]

[OH THAT'S A GOOD IDEA. Lily does that. Ow, that stings. Why does everyone tell her to put pressure on it? Won't that make it worse? Normal people are weird.]

Um... Other trees.

[bellator_lucis]

Can you see the temple?

[Please don't tell him you've gone too far into the jungle to be easily found.]

[lilyground]

N-no, I can only see other trees.

[Sorry!]

[knowsvinewhip]

Ah--!

Can you tell me where you are? I may be able to stop your bleeding, miss.

[lilyground]

I'm, uh - some people are coming for me. And the bleeding stopped. Mostly. Kind of. I mean, it's not like... gushing anymore. But - but thanks. Thanks a lot.

[W T F why are all the people so nice here?]

[knowsvinewhip]

That's good to hear. If you ever have need of it, I'm capable of closing wounds quite cleanly. And I'd be more than happy to help you, miss.

[lilyground]

Okay. Okay, thanks. Maybe after all the mice and stuff are gone. [If they ever are.] Because, um, this isn't really clean. [Pretty damn unsanitary, really.]
