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]

Re: REACTION/DISCUSSION
We ain't just taking off and leaving you. Okay? We're gonna get you out of there. Just - just hang on.
[Digging for all he's worth. It isn't long before th bandages over his hands are soaked through, the palms and fingers going susiciously and tellingly red]
Re: REACTION/DISCUSSION
[He sounds muffled already because of how much snow and rock and slush has barred their way, but clearly upset he's being disregarded.]
Take her- please.
Re: REACTION/DISCUSSION
[Of course they're going to get him out of here. They - she has to get him out! Even if she works until she drops, even if she has to dig for hours, until her hands are bleeding and chalk-white with cold.]
I'm not going - do you hear me, Brother? Not without you!
Re: REACTION/DISCUSSION
That hurt would linger far longer than any death this place could give them.
Re: REACTION/DISCUSSION
You hear me? We're getting you out.
[Still digging,]
Re: REACTION/DISCUSSION
Alisaie… is hurt. You need to win.
[His voice is faint but unmistakable. He’s thinking of all of them.]
Please.
[It’s already much too late for him. His eyes are closing and he stops pleading about when her arm becomes injured.]
Re: REACTION/DISCUSSION
[She knows that tone.
[She knows what it means that Alphinaud, Alphinaud of all people, should sound like that. Should be saying the frightening, sickening, terrible and terribly brave sorts of things one hears from someone staring their end in the eyes. Alisaie doesn't want to hear it, hear him weakening, hear him talking of her as the reason they have to--
[Have to give up on him.
[Have to stop. Walk away. Leave him alone.]
I'm not going!
[Her hands are numb with cold, and still she can't reach him. Can't even see him, gods be cursed...
[She'd rather die next to him than this.]
Re: REACTION/DISCUSSION
Just hang in there a little longer.
[He can barely feel his hands, anymore; a blessing, in some ways, considering the skin missing from his palms. But now that he's lost sensation, his fingers are starting to work poorly, making it harder to haul the bigger rocks out of the way]
[He's leaving red streaks on the snow, and doesn't seem to have noticed]
Re: REACTION/DISCUSSION
It is at this point that he is going to drag Alisaie away to deal with her frostbite. It is not that he is unmoved by Alphinaud's plight. It it just - he knows what needs to be done with the situation gets this dire.
And that unfortunately does not account for the emotional toil that this will have on all of them. ]
