Day 5

[purestpurifier]

[Mega Man is stumbling around the village near the battle dome, still suffering from sleep deprivation despite his long nap a couple of days ago. He's not as bad as he was then, but it's all he can do to stop from going crazy is to keep moving.

But he hears the cries for help in the woods nearby... and all of that is instantly gone as adrenaline finds its way into his veins. Without a second's hesitation, he rushes headlong into the woods to see a girl being attacked by a pack of wild dogs... too big to be just dogs, but he wasn't sure what they were.

Regardless, a boy in a suit of blue armor runs into the fray, and the armor on his left arm forms into a cannon.]

Leave her alone!

[And with that, Mega Man opens fire into the pack of coyotes, spheres of red energy blasting out of the Mega Buster and hopefully hitting a few targets and drawing their attention away from the wounded girl.]

Day 5

[lookinforlight]

[Norma squeaks with fright once those blasts soar over her head. She ducks, covering her head as one blast strikes one of the coyotes dead on. Successfully drawing the attention of the others, the begin to converge on the newcomer, giving Norma a chance to heal herself somewhat. She cries out the spell "Revive!", and much of the damage fades away with the soft, green light surrounding her.

Unfortunately, even her healing abilities can't heal her broken leg, so Norma's left to just kind of...lay there. At least she'll provide moral support.]

Jeez! W-Watch where you're shooting those things!

[Or not.]

[purestpurifier]

[Mega Man's not at all deterred by the warning, shooting at the approaching attackers. However, one draws close, and lunges at him, teeth bared.

On approach, however, the canine is met with the business end of Mega Man's armored boot. The kick sends the beast sprawling back and gives him time to shoot some more.

...Despite his fatigue and his innocent looks, Mega Man is apparently a very competent fighter.]

[lookinforlight]

[Whoa. Not bad, Blue, not bad at all. Norma keeps quiet from her spot on the ground, trying to creep out of the danger zone, but even moving her injured leg a little bit makes her gasp in pain, and crouch over it. The movement catches the attention of one canine, who's been keeping its distance, and decides the downed girl is a much better (and safer) target than Mega Man.

It lunges, and Norma screams in fright, barely noticing she spat out a spell instinctively. A wall of fire meet the coyote mid leap, and it whimpers and cries, rolling in the snow to try desperately to put out the flames. The ones, if they remain, that aren't as damaged as the others, are wise enough to run away, leaving their brethren to fend for themselves or perish. This meal wasn't worth the effort, or the fight, it seems.

Seeing the last of the coyotes either dying away or running, Norma lets out a long, tired breath, and finally gives in to her wariness and slumps down onto the snow, breathing heavily.

This day sucked.]

[purestpurifier]

[Once the coyotes withdraw, Mega Man lets them go, and turns his attention to the injured girl they were attacking he rushes over to her and kneels down beside her.]

How badly are you hurt?

[lookinforlight]

[As Mega Man approaches, Norma turns toward him, wincing as her leg sears with painful protest. She reflexively grips at it, eyes squeezing shut against the sharp pangs.]

M-My leg! I can't move it, it's busted! One of those stupid dogs chowed down hard on it!

[She breathes out, opening one tightly shut eye to try and see just who helped her out. A kid? He looked half like a zombie.]

[purestpurifier]

[Mega Man gets a quick look at it, but doesn't touch it. The swelling and the wound are obvious... She's not kidding, that leg got torn up something awful. ]

...Yeah, that's definitely broken. Looks pretty bad. I don't have any way to treat this here. But I can't just leave you here either!

...What do you want to do? Should I try to get you to the Battle Dome's clinic? Or do you want me to call for help?

[He does look like a zombie, but the adrenaline in his system still hasn't subsided.]

[lookinforlight]

[Norma gets a good look at her leg, and immediately gasps, feeling dizzy. The damage...well, it's obvious. And it's bad. Seeing the wound for herself, an actual good look, makes the damage all the more real. That, and the earlier situation. Her breathing quickens, and Norma has to hold her head to stop the spinning. What did he say?]

Wh-What? [Give her a minute, to calm down.] If...if you can give me a leg up, I'll lean on you. There's no way I'm staying out here by myself!

[purestpurifier]

I wouldn't leave you out here to begin with! Let's get you out of here.

[He crouches down next to her and signals for her to put her arm around his shoulder. When she does, he'll help her slowly get on her good leg, and support most of her weight.]

[lookinforlight]

[Norma does as she's instructed, curling one arm around the kid's shoulder and pushing up with her good leg. Most, if not all, of her weight is braced against Mega Man's body as she stands, and there's still that wince of pain and sharp intake of breath, but Norma at least looks steady. She's not going to be falling any time soon, at the least, and though she looks more the part of dead weight than anything else, she is appreciative. Very, very appreciative.

It'll take her a second to rasp out an apology - her breathing increased with the movement and pain - but when she does, it's with a small smile.]

Thanks, Blue.

[purestpurifier]

[Mega Man glances over to her and returns that smile gently. He can sympathize for her injuries, so he's really careful about the pace so he causes her less pain.]

It's nothing. I'm just glad you're okay. ...Sorta. What's your name, if you don't mind me asking at a time like this?

[Maybe talking will help distract her from pain?]

[lookinforlight]

[The pace is slow, but steady, and Norma likes it like that. Even with the slow pace, there are still short, small pangs of pain when he lg is jostled or moved in the wrong way. Even just accidentally brushing it against something is painful, and she has to ask to catch her breath a few times. She feels dizzy, the mental strain starting to play its part in weighing heavily on the poor girl as much as the physical strain. She just wants to get into a bed and sleep for as long as possible.]

Norma. [She leans her head against Mega Man's shoulder, closing her eyes, as if that'd help her headache.] ...Norma Beatty.

[purestpurifier]

And I'm Mega Man. Mega Man Volnutt. [He laughs a bit sheepishly.] And before you say it, a lot of people have said "Mega Man" is a weird name.

[He doesn't mind shouldering the weight, or even her leaning against his shoulder. Either way, he calls no attention to it and just keeps soldiering on, getting steadily closer and closer to the Battle Dome.]

[lookinforlight]

[Normally, this girl would talk your ears off (yes, both of them), but at the time being, she's all too focused on just getting where she needs to go without causing herself too much pain. It's a tasking and very slow process, made worse by the fact that as the adrenaline wears off, she's beginning to feel the true pain of her broken leg, and the fatigue all the more.

Most of Mega Man's voice is drowned out by a loud buzz in her ears, and Norma nods to show she got his name. It was odd. ...Probably the strangest she's heard thus far. It's a shame she's in no condition to poke fun.

Are we there, yet?]
