(OOC // things have been set up for two different Situations™️ to potentially happen, only @the-post-crow and a few others will know what I mean by this lol)
*Ignia manages to pick up on another communication- a stronger signal this time. It's those same two voices again...*
A: "Codename Treestump, do you copy?"
B: "Yes, but I'm busy right now."
A: "Any progress on project 'Ripp' to report on?"
B: "Actually... maybe some. We have found a location quite a bit away from the city of Middlesea, which is known for being a Hotspot for oddities all around."
A: "Middlesea, you say? The same city we decided to do research on after Patient 0 didn't perish from THAT rendition of the project?"
B: "Yes, and I have already given a strong scolding to all involved for not telling me sooner, especially due to the foolish decision on who the Patient 0 with that attempt for project 'Ripp' is- ugh, now there's a whole outbreak with many around the world!"
A: "Hey, maybe the infection can reach one of their friends and finally make that chronic anomaly kick the bucket! HAH!"
B: "I somehow doubt that. Ugh, yet another headache for the pile..."
A: "Well, at least once we get a sample of that little pet project, it'll surely greatly improve... THAT code."
B: "I guess you're right... but I have a feeling."
A: "That seems to be all the time we have today- Innovate the normal..."
B: "... And exterminate the difference."
*click.*
-> She intercepts and begins recording the transmission, which she's still able to do even while she's more or less stuck at Middlesea Hospital herself since she still has all of her devices and tools with her...
-> She... absolutely has the patience of a saint. She's still waiting to see who she might be able to contact as she keeps going through different signals and channels...
-> She continues to mess around with her jury-rigged yet well-functioning "comms" system, waiting to see if she can reach someone... or if someone will be able to reach her.
-> She’s now working with her “comms” (which is more like some setup that uses her phone), going through the list of signals Ignia has connected to for some reason.
(OOC // so Aisha has Justitia and an Esperance because of dream encounter shenanigans involving LL!Red’s universe’s versions of Spectra and Krystallos. do with this what you will)
-> She soon looks up, her expression turning into one of shock and distress.
"T-Tucker?"
-> He doesn't give a response, only silently preparing to fight with the same sort of magic-draining weaponry that had been used against Aisha before this.
"W-Wait, no, please- please- t-this isn't- we don't have to-"
-> She backs up, distraught and unsure of what to do. She doesn't want to fight, which could very well be her downfall...
-> He only silently draws closer, ready to ensure Teapot Corp can have an easier time dealing with someone as strong yet simultaneously stubborn as Abigail.
-> She continues backing away, still reluctant to even so much as draw any of her weapons.
"P-Please-!"
-> She suddenly comes in, taking it upon herself to start going toe-to-toe with Tucker.
-> He quickly retaliates, knowing that Aisha has two artificial Sea Curses and being fully willing to kill her to obtain them and bring them back to the very people who resurrected him to make him into a soldier.
-> She only continues trying to plead…
“N-No, please…!”
-> She doesn’t look over her shoulder, but still begins speaking to Abigail.
“I’m sorry, but there ain’t nothin’ ya can do to try reasonin’ with him! They’ve already gotten to him…”
-> She falls silent, unable to bring herself to do anything other than watch the fight play out.
-> She’s doing well at holding up, using her agility and both of her Sea Curses to her advantage.
-> …Even if that’s something Teapot Corp would’ve likely accounted for in advance, it’s still enough to incapacitate him and leave him vulnerable to a blow that gives quick mercy.
-> She continues to stay back even when it’s over, her distress soon inevitably boiling over as she falls to her knees, sobbing and crying out.
“W-Why?! Why must they do this?! T-This… it’s… i-it’s so… horrid…!”
“…I ain’t sure, but they need to pay in blood for it…”
-> She nods in agreement, something that’s completely unlike her.
“T-They truly do…”
-> Her distress is strong enough that it’s sure to bring on consequences. What kind, though, is beyond anyone for the time being.
*she follows along, staff floating near her at all times. She seems excited about going to a cafe!*
~ Sakura
-> She walks in, going to find a seat.
-> She looks around briefly before someone else suddenly runs over to her, hugging her.
“Hiiii, Somni!”
-> She’s quick to hug her back, and on top of that… she smiles, which is something that's been rare for her ever since Closure's last wielder died.
