8th Spell-Just-at-Pre-Dawn--Emergency! [Back-dated to the 18th]

[Raven is not trying to be subtle here. She has been resting, but she's also been patrolling off and on as much as she can. As such, she's up and awake, and watching.]

We have a problem. They're bringing in the big stuff--like tanks, via the bridges.

Great. Probably should have weakened the bridges when I had the chance.

It's not as if we had any reason to think they'd bring in tanks, Lavi. Don't blame yourself.

[Oh hey, and once again, you're reminding her of Robin.]

Yeah, but it would have stopped their foot traffic too.

We can't change the past, Lavi, so let's work with what we have.

I know, I know. I'll go see what I can do with them at least.

Be careful.

[She's got a good measure you're the kind to go until you drop, and then its too late. She doesn't want that.]

I'll do my best to be.

Eh?! We gotta stop them!

Well I'm certainly open to ideas...

It's simple ain't it? We take them out.

If you have any good ideas on how to do that, I'm open to them.

Wonderful....

That about sums it up.

[Sarcasm met with sarcasm. ^^]

Might as well keep an eye on them while we fight.

[The hope visibly drains from Kiriko's eyes. He just looks at the screen a bit helplessly. They can't possibly take on tanks..]

...

Don't...just...don't do that Doc.

[Raven's tone is as flat as always, but there's the sounds of buttons being pushed, and then she continues. Letting actual emotion be seen.]

Kiriko-san..you've seen what we can do. We'll get through this, don't give up now.

[Guess what Doc, she considers you a dear friend, which is why she's worrying for you. ^^]

[His eyes flick to the screen, and then to the ground defeatedly.]

We're exhausted, Raven. ...Those are military-grade tanks...!

[There's a bit of a whine to his voice, but all in all he's more worried about everyone, especially Raven, than concerned for his own tiredness.]

We'll die.

We're not going to die.

[Yes, she's exhausted too, but they'll manage. She has to hold on to that hope.]

We'll get through this Doc, I promise you.

[Not that she's not...touched by his concern.]

...do you have a favorite food? If so, when this is done, we'll find a way to have it. Waffles for me, and whatever yours is for you. Deal?

Maybe you won't!

[He says that a little angrily. There's a bit of a guilty pause that follows.]

...I'm sorry, Raven.

[He sighs, hoping to God she's right...]

I sure hope so. I...

It's...Sweet potatoes.

[No, she gets it...and there's a flicker of surprise--honestly touched and surprised at the level of concern. She's...not used to that, at all. Nodding though, then offering a faint smile.]

Then I hope you can cook, because I can't. But we can try and make sweet potato waffles, right?

[A faint smile.]

...I'm sometimes in charge of looking after the rations, but don't expect what I make to be anything more than serviceable...

[He looks a bit like he's ready to cry, but he'll hold it back until there is no hope left at all. For now...]

Don't... don't get killed out there, okay?

Edited 2012-07-22 03:17 (UTC)

I don't plan on it, Doc. Promise.

[As she is doing her best to give him a reassuring smile. She has to believe it herself, or she'll just give up. Nesreca isn't pleasant, but it's better in two ways than Jump was already, even if she misses her friends a lot. She isn't giving that up.]

Damn it...

How many?

I can't properly tell just yet......but...enough that it'll give us a problem.

Edited 2012-07-21 05:52 (UTC)

....alright, I CAREFULLY tried to take a look and quick estimate...one for each bridge, but I could be wrong.

[... Hm. Still not happy, but he seems a little relieved to have a number, even if it's an unsure one.]

... If we all work together we might be able to handle it.

....I can probably take out one or two by myself, but it's dangerous.

[Have a sigh.]

...not...least...because I'm exhausted. I'm sure I'm not the only one though, and we'll rest when all this is done.

[Give her a minute. She has to go see what a tank is...]

[and upon seeing it...]

Of all the pox ridden, god cursed, blasted things for men to build! damnit!

[she takes a breath, calms down.]

Alright, how many of them, how fast are they moving, and what do you think can be done?

[she had no idea men could build like this, and what so much metal would be weak too.]

I've been trying to get a better look while staying hidden, and it seems like one for each bridge, so far. I could be wrong, but estimate at least 1-2 for how many bridges we have.

I'm...not sure what we can do. Tanks are designed to be heavily armored, and have great capability for firepower. Destroying them, even just one, would take time and effort.

What do we have in the way of traps?

Those things seem huge, perhaps that is their weakness? That usually is. Someone here must be able to pierce all that metal.

Traps would have to be large to work against these. They are huge, and not as maneuverable as they seem--if we can turn them upside down, like a turtle, that usually has a chance of success too.

Whether someone's able to pierce the metal or not, I know we have people who can do something.

...it's more a matter of morale at this point.

I know we do too, I have every faith in you all.

I've done what I can to keep everyone fighting, that is all I can do from my end. They know why they fight, or so I hope.

Suggest we combine threads on Lavi's injuries.
