[Video/Action] - Backdated to during the Invasion of Attleton

[innocent_royal]

[Action]

[Despite the fact that she had just moments ago sassed the biggest threat since the spirit crises, Anastasia made her way to the outskirts of Attleton city, escorted by her friends.

Armed with only a parasol to keep the sunlight off her, she stood in a small clearing at the base of a hill which divided her location and Gilgamesh's. She was close to the action, but the hill provided cover, hopefully providing her protection from Gilgamesh's wrath.

However, simply sitting around doing nothing while her friends fight wasn't something she felt she should be doing as a princess. So from where she stood, she pondered, and soon, she decided. The heroes against Gilgamesh may need a place to rest. Anastasia decided she will build a sort-of base for friends and allies to rest and heal. A field hospital.

But she was just a simple young girl raised to be a princess. She didn't know the very basics of making a camp since it was the boys in her group back home who did that, let alone setting up anything resembling a hospital. So, with no other option, she took out her communicator and activated it, making sure it was set to broadcast only to friendlies as she focuses the camera on herself...]

[Video - Blocked Gilgamesh]

"To anyone who can hear this, I'm outside Attleton where the man in gold is invading the city. I want to set up a field hospital for those who are trying to stop him, but I can't do it by myself.

If there is anyone not taking part in the fighting, I humbly request your help in setting up this field hospital so our heroes have a place to rest. I can found near where the man in gold is leading the invasion, behind a hill out of his view."

Building the Field Hospital - Open

[innocent_royal]

[Anastasia paced around quietly waiting for any sort of reply to her request over the network...]

Completed Field Hospital (Closed, not yet its turn)

[innocent_royal]

[With the field hospital finished, Anastasia makes another call to the heroes against Gilgamesh. Once again, she made sure only friendlies could receive this message.]

"To everyone who can hear this, a field hospital has been set up for those who are injured. Please come here to rest and heal."

[hatedbloodline]

[ She saw the message, and after a few minutes thought, decided she had time enough to help with the situation. After all, there might be a lot of injured, and it would be too much for one person. ]

Anastasia? I have come to assist with your hospital for the time being. [ The Absol, Lady, was trotting behind her, and her fairy, Cui, sprawled over her shoulder. ]

I was not aware you were capable of healing.

[innocent_royal]

[Anastasia smiled when she saw Tiara had answered.]

"Tiara, thank you for coming. Unfortunately, I lack any healing power. Which is unusual in my kingdom's standards. So... Any healing done by magic will have to be left to someone else."

[The young girl peered hopefully at Tiara, hoping she might be one capable of using healing magic, or at least brought along supplies for a makeshift hospital.]

[hatedbloodline]

[ Tiara shook her head with a smile. ]

Think nothing of it. I am happy to help the commonfolk for any assistance they provide in the matter, against that man. [ Ohh, so Anastasia lacked healing. WELL definitely a good thing she showed up then! ]

Fortunately I possess healing spells - however I have also brought additional medical supplies. You may use these as you need, should you encounter those who require care.

I have seen nothing in the matter of defense of this area, so I have taken it upon myself to assign my companion to patrol the area and ensure it's continued safety. Only a cad would attack a place such as this, however, so I do not anticipate any trouble in that area.

[innocent_royal]

"This is wonderful! Hopefully more people can arrive with bedding and cleaning supplies and maybe even tents. I want this field hospital to be fully stocked to handle anything."

[Anastasia held her hands out to accept the medical supplies from Tiara.]

"You are right about the defense here. I wanted to use Earth magic to raise walls, but... I have not yet learned to use the mana in this world. And, it would make a great amount of noise that could alert that man to what we're doing here... And considering he threatened to hunt me down, I can tell he will not spare a hospital full for injured..."

[hatedbloodline]

If we are indeed fortunate, yes. [ She glanced over at the pokemon. ]

Lady, please stand guard outside.

[ The pokemon snorted slightly, but she turned and padded outside to keep watch as Tiara turned back to Anastasia with a surprised look. ]

Why did that man threaten to hunt you down?

[innocent_royal]

[Anastasia can vividly remember how angry she felt to see what Gilgamesh was up to. And for a moment, compared to how royal she acted right then and there compared to how meek she acted when dealing with her own lackey.]

"W-Well... I kind of... Sort of... Sassed him. Like a lioness, I drew my claws and took a swipe. Basically... I called him a plague and a threat to civilized society." [She held her hands up and curled her fingers into cat paws and play paw-batted in Tiara's direction.] "M-Mreow..."

[And that was the most un-intimidating lioness roar ever. She folded her hands in front of her and shamefully looked away.]

[hatedbloodline]

[ Holy shit that was adorable. Tiara managed not to giggle, though she smiled softly. ]

That was very brave of you to do so. It is quite an admirable trait - but you must be careful when dealing with a sociopath such as that. Not that I would have said any less in your position. Only a true coward would threaten one so young for something so minor.

[innocent_royal]

[Anastasia peered back at Tiara once she was over her humiliation.]

"I do not normally sass people like that, but what he was doing just made me so mad that I needed to say something. Truly, the only king I will bow to is my father..."

[And she just admitted her status as a princess now. But frankly, she doesn't care about that. It doesn't matter at this time anyway.]

[hatedbloodline]

[ Tiara didn't look particularly surprised at the slip up - it wasn't like one's status meant a thing here anyway. She simply ignored the comment, nodding easily. ]

There are times when the injustice is so great, that you must make a stand and speak against the responsible party. It is far better than to remain silent and see the innocent suffer.

[innocent_royal]

[Anastasia couldn't agree more. She checked the network for any replies, but saw there were none. She sincerely hopes the delay is caused by the battle and not anything else. People formulating plans on defense and counter-attack. After a moment, she put the communicator away and looked back to Tiara.]

"So... You were able to keep some of your pokemon as well?"

[She was hesitant to bring hers out, worrying doing so would reveal their location.]

[hatedbloodline]

Yes, Lady is with me still, however the other pokemon have vanished, as I have expected.

[ It would probably a bigger worry that the other pokemon save maybe one would be empty from their balls, for poor Anastasia. ]

[innocent_royal]

"I managed to keep two of mine... Not realizing one of them was too big for the children's home."

[Anastasia drew out a pokeball containing the smaller of the two she kept, but still hesitating.]

"Thankfully, though, the weather is starting to cool down so I can spend longer amounts of time outdoors."

[hatedbloodline]

Size is not a matter, you can simply contain them in your 'Pokeball'.

[ She almost never let the ones she caught out, with the exception of Lady. Except for training, and occasionally treating them to snacks. She didn't particularly care that the other pokemon were returned, though. ]

[innocent_royal]

"That is true, but I would like them to have some time outside as well. Like right now, I want them out but I'm afraid doing so could alert the man in gold."

[Anastasia examined the ball she had in her hand.]

"This one is Sylvia, a Sylveon. I'm thinking I can have her be a comfort pet for the injured when this field hospital is built. But as I said, I'm afraid of letting her out. If that man is alerted, we could all be killed."

[hatedbloodline]

It is quite unlikely that that man is paying you any mind while he is attempting to invade another land. Further more, I am fully confident that Fang will keep this place safe. There is also Lady, and myself should trouble arise.

[innocent_royal]

[Anastasia begins to quietly wonder if she's the most powerless person around. She tries to put it out of her mind, but she can't completely.]

"Have you...spoken to me of this 'Fang' before? I can't remember. And is 'Fang' here?"

[hatedbloodline]

[ She's still a kid, she has plenty of time to learn how to do things. Tiara was six years older than her. ]

Oh dear, what a memory. I have spoken to you of him when I arrived - my companion who is patroling this area as we speak.

[innocent_royal]

[In Anastasia's case, re-learn. As destructive and difficult to control as it was, her magic was crucial to the successes of her group following the tragedy that befell her home.]

"Assuming he is human, why does he not come properly introduce himself?"

[hatedbloodline]

[ Hrm.. She wasn't quite sure she could count him fully human - anymore anyway, but that wasn't any of Anastasia's business. She simply answers the question. ]

As I have already mentioned, he has been ordered to patrol the area while I am here. Introductions are unnecessary given the situation.

[innocent_royal]

"I suppose you are right..."

[Anastasia once more checks the network for any replies.]

"...I wonder if no one took me seriously? About setting up a field hospital. Or are we the only people who are not combat-inclined?"

[The fact that she is half way to being a nervous wreck makes her think time is passing much more quickly than it actually is.]

[hatedbloodline]

I'm certain that is hardly the case. Very little time has passed between your request, and my arrival after all. It is more than likely that many are occupied with the attempted...occupation of Attleton. You are worrying yourself needlessly.

[ And hey, if no one else shows up, that was fine too. She could handle things. Or maybe no one would get hurt at all. However, she did feel the need to correct the girl. ]

I will note that I am not incapable in combat. I possess both combat abilities and healing abilities.

[innocent_royal]

[Anastasia nods. She takes a breath to calm her nerves.]

"It just doesn't get any easier..."

[Once Tiara mentioned her combat abilities, the young girl got curious.]

"If I may ask, what combat abilities are you proficient in?"

[hatedbloodline]

[ Tiara would disagree on that - but she's been at that kind of thing longer than Anastasia. Absently running a hand through her hair, she hmms. ]

In addition to my many healing and combative spells, I am fully capable in the art of combat. My primary weapon is a glaive, however I have used a gun, sword, axe, broadsword, and bow in battle.

[ ...well technically her weapon turned into all those things, but it still counted. ]
