HEART SOLDIER SENSHI

[you find yourself in this derelict village, with not a soul to be seen—but before you is this station wagon:

for all intents and purposes, this baby is a simple "honk, steer, pedal to go, brakes to stop" vehicle that anyone with opposable thumbs can drive. despite its age, it does have a handy GPS system that displays paths you can take, but fails to identify anything like landmarks or other worldly features. last but not least: its paint job is done in your unit's color!

The following can be found in the trunk/dashboard:
• Icepicks
• These 5 Bone Saws
• A surgical set
• A single miniature of 99 Bananas
• one large first aid kit containing nothing but bandages and bandaids]

I'm not letting you head out there without someone to watch your back.

[She's already halfway out by the time she speaks up.]

Gods! It is freezing out here.

Dude, get back in the car. I'll hear anything that's coming way before it gets here.

[She's heading for the trunk, though.]

Mayhap you will. But I'd feel considerably more comfortable out here if I were armed.

[The bone saws...? No, let's not. We may need those blades to stay sharp.]

Kinda sucks we don't got powers on, y'know?

[Going to unlatch the gate and shove it open]

[Only, when he goes to take his hands back, it doesn't quite work out,]

...uh.

Is everything all right?

[Alisaie looks up over the lid of the truck, frowning.

[She's also holding an ice pick, which may not be an entirely reassuring sight.]

Uh - yeah, it's cool.

Just gimme a sec.

[Leaning in to huff hot air onto the metal, to try and thaw himself free]

I should say it was positively freezing.

[She hurries over to the gate.]

Are you stuck?

No.

[Yes,]

[Huff huff huff huff,]

You are stuck, aren't you--?!

[She's going to give him a yank on the back, to prove it. Not hard enough to hurt, she hopes, but definitely enough to prove her point.]

[Winces a little,]

[And definitely does not go anywhere]

I super ain't.

[He super is,]

Hurricane, we aren't going to get anywhere if you're not going to admit that we have a problem. And, since I'd rather not spend the rest of the night standing here in the snow waiting for the behemoths, you're going to have to tell me what it actually is.

Are you stuck? Yes or no. And if you say No, I'm not going to believe you.

Maybe a little.

[Leaning in to huff on his hands some more]

But I totally got this. Just gimme like half a sec.

[She gives him five, she's generous like that.]

Can I presume you totally haven't yet?

I almost got it.

[Tugging,]

Alisaie-

[No no no no, he's so worried but he doesn't want to leave the car-!!]

Please be careful.

I'm sure the trunk won't have grown teeth since we got in the car, Brother.

That's not what I-

[He purses his lips, trying not to argue his point. That's about when Hurricane becomes stuck to the gate.]

... we may need you to get out of the car, after all.

[Right now? Alphinaud is the closest thing to a chirugeon they've got.]

[He'll immediately get out of the car and start digging for their supplies.]

Just don't- don't touch the metal.

[He's worried about her getting stuck too. He wouldn't be able to think straight if it were her.]

I don't plan to.

We're going to need hot water, if there's any way to melt the--

[She rests a hand on the hood. Lifts it away.]

... Do you think you can raise the... front part of this thing? If we had anything to put snow in, we could melt it on the engine.

We could try. I want to get a better look at Hurricane if you wish to take care of the water.

[He's immediately got the medical tools and bandages.]

[She's ducking into the front seat.]

You saw how Zhongli started the engine, didn't you? Do we have a bowl? I'm certain I saw a bowl back there.

Edited 2021-12-19 21:08 (UTC)

[He gets a look at the steering column before reaching to turn the key in the starter.]

Like this I believe?

[The engine stirs, making noise.]

Ah ha!

All right! Looks like we're in business.

[She's going to take the bowl and fill it with snow from the embankment, scooping it up as quickly as possible before placing it onto the running engine.

[She blows on her fingers. Shivers.]

Gods curse this cold.

Once we have freed Hurricane, we'll be able to all sit comfortably inside the vehicle again.

[He hates that she's cold though, so he steps out of the car to take her hands and blow on them himself. Two is better than one, right?]

It shouldn't take long for the water to warm up.
