Event Nine.

[awashmods]

Thus, on Life’s gloomy sea, Heareth the marinere Voices sweet, from far and near, Ever singing in his ear, “Here is rest and peace for thee!”

t's a dark night, and the sounds of feet in the darkness are further dampened and hidden by even more magic, as they are lured away by the soft sounds of dreams that are too good to be true, leaving the Town much, much emptier than when it began. On one side, an island, and a ticking clock to a gruesome death. On the other, the slow realization that those bonds everyone has been forging might mean much, much more than they first thought.

I'll try to aim for it's mouth, in that case... But no matter what, you mustn't give up! We're getting everyone off this wretched island, no man left behind!

[Is she trying to boost his confidence, or her own? Her legs are a little shaky... she braces herself, then fires off the same spell, trying to aim for the face.]

[awamori]

You're right! We're going to save everybody!

[It's working to help his confidence. There is a part of him that's scared to be faced by such monsters, then there's part of him that is using the anger to help him push forward. When she set off the spell, Ryuu balled his fist, ran forward and punched the siren in the face. He had a quick wave of surprise as he looked at his fist. He did it! He punched something and he didn't accidentally hurt someone in the process!

Ryuu looked over at her.]

Let's get to the next one!

[troubadamsel]

[Maribelle wipes some sweat off of her forehead. Using magic takes a toll on her, but she's trying not to show it.]

Wait, before we do, are you hurt anywhere? I can heal you if need be.

[awamori]

[Ryuu notices the way she wipes her forehead. He wished he had a towel or napkin that he could give her to help a little.]

No, I'm not hurt anywhere, I can keep going. Are you okay?

[troubadamsel]

[She shakes her head.]

... Using a lot of magic in succession takes a toll on the tome, and the body... Don't worry about me. I'll be all right.

[awamori]

[Magic! It's amazing to see magic in person, especially magic as powerful as the one she used. Ahh, now isn't the time to want to learn more. He made a note to ask her more about it when they didn't have sirens screaming at them.]

Okay, if you need any help let me know. How far do we have to go?

[troubadamsel]

Hopefully not too much further. I work best aiming from afar, and you seem to be perfect at close-up attacks. If we utilize our strengths like this, no one will be able to defeat us!

[awamori]

They won't! We'll be able to get there in no time.

[Ryuu looks over to see that their way is clear for now.]

We should be able to make it a little further before more sirens come to try to attack us.

[troubadamsel]

All right... That should give me enough time to get my energy back. Whatever happens, even if I fall, don't let anything happen to my weapons. Understand?

[awamori]

Got it! Nothing is going to happen to your weapons.

[Ryuu would make sure of that. He waited for his recent dizzy spell to go away before he starts walking again. He keeps an eye out for any siren that might come out.]

Um, I know this isn't the ideal time, but my name is Ryuunosuke Tsunashi. I don't mind if you call me Ryuu though. What's your name?

[troubadamsel]

[A hand to her chest, a polite bow of her head.]

I a Maribelle. I am sure that, were the circumstances different, it'd be a pleasure to meet you.

[awamori]

[Ryuu gave a small smile as he nodded in return.]

It would be. When this is over we'll be able to talk, I'd love to learn more about your weapons.

[He looks around for any sirens as they inch closer to where the others are being held.]

[troubadamsel]

Should we make it out of alive and unharmed, I'll be happy to tell you whatever you please.

[She feels recovered enough to pick up the pace!]

[awamori]

You can ask me anything you want too.

[He doesn't wield weapons, but he's sure they can find something for them to talk about. Ryuu walks alongside her, feeling better to keep going now that he has someone to work with.]
