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]

What, like - break something down for parts?

[Pauses in his digging, but only for an instant, trying to keep gong with the hand Zhongli isn't touching]

I dunno if I can reach enough of the car, but I can try. We can figure it out.

[ Hurricane... ]

This all ends when the game ends. So what I will ask of you---




Is to win this game with me.

Alisaie is very injured and will likely pass out from the blood loss soon. I intend to carry her to the finish line in the hopes that she will be healed.

You could remain here and try to dig Alphinaud out, but I believe that we both know such a task is impossible for any of us in our current state. And I do not wish to leave you behind. Selfishly because I do not want you to become even more injured. And realistically the more people we have cross the finish line, the greater our chances of winning is.

You think, like -

[He hesitates. Looks from Zhongli, to Alisaie, to the pile of snow and boulders. He hasn't stopped trying to dig, yet,]

You really think we could still win it?

This is the only chance we have of doing so.

[Looking back to the snow pile, then back to Zhongli]

...you really don't think we can get him out?

I do not. Not without risking death for the rest of us. And that is not a burden I wish to put additionally on Alphinaud's shoulders.

He is already being very brave in asking us to leave him behind.

Can't we at least stay with him until, like...

The longer we stay, the more we risk Alisaie's life. She is bleeding from two wounds now.

I know this is difficult. I know that you wish to save everyone. And I know that you think being stronger or more clever might turn the tides - but at the moment, we do not have the luxury of time to think of another strategy.

This is all I can offer as the best possible outcome for us.
crossmyheartandhope: (And if we only die once)

Re: ONE OF YOU ARE FREEZING!

What if - what if you took her somewhere safe, and I stayed? That way at least he'd still have a chance.

Hurricane.

Alphinaud does not want you to die for his sake either. And unfortunately with your hands--- which at the moment I will not listen to you blame yourself for --- or even my hands, we are mortals without abilities. What can we do to lift a car from collapsing snow?

I guess...

I guess not a whole lot.
