[After being idle for several days, Anastasia felt it was about time to get out and enjoy the weather. It's awful in Nova City still, so she plans to go to Genessia where it's colder. Despite it being near freezing at this time, it was perfect for her.

Setting off from Satsuki's place, she takes off on her trusty customized flying broom towards Genessia's gate. And once within the city limits, the cold air was refreshing, the wind through her hair. It was a leisurely ride roughly 10 feet above the ground. But then, something seems to go wrong. Her broom begins to tremble. Soon, it wobbles. Before Anastasia realized something was horribly wrong, the broom flies higher and begins to spin out of control.

Screaming in terror, she hung on as tight as she could, but she loses her grip and is thrown off her broom, free-falling until she hit the hard ground with a roll. The run-away broom itself continued to fly and spin out of control until it dived straight down and colliding with the ground, exploding into splinters.

She tries to move. Her right arm hurts really bad. She hurts in several places, but her arm especially. She was covered in cuts and scraps, bleeding lightly in some of them. She picked herself up enough to see her destroyed ride. She reaches for her phone to make some calls.]

(Video)

[Her young, yet dusty face appears on the screen, wincing and straining, trying not to irritate her injuries. She looks to be trying hard not to look hurt, but she's not good at it.]

"Satsuki? Abel? ...Ted...?" [A small wince of regret for the last one. Or perhaps pain.] "Or anyone...who might be in Genessia now... I was in an accident with my flying broom... If anyone can let me borrow a new one, I would be thankful."

Comments

[02crusnikabel]

[His phone rang, as it usually does to notify him of any new posts in the network. He learned by now that often, people would use it to post anything just in case.

When it was Anastasia's call for help.]

"Anastasia? Are you all right? You look hurt."

[Of course, he doesn't hesitate. He told his workers to watch his shop while he rushed out of the store, ready to look for her.]

[innocent_royal]

[She sighed in relief at such a quick answer.]

"Abel... I went for a fly, but my broom went out of control. I can't move my arm and I think I twisted my ankle.

Do you have a extra broom I could borrow?"

[02crusnikabel]

"I do, but they can't fly and their purpose is to sweep the store." He took a moment to assess her answer.

"You can't move your arm and your ankle is twisted? Anastasia, I think you're injured and that require a doctor to have a look at it. I'll take you to the nearest hospital. Where are you? Just tell me where and which street you're at."

[innocent_royal]

"But I'm the one who flies, not the broom. The broom just makes it more comfortable to fly...especially since I wear skirts and dresses..."

[Come to think of it, why didn't she just fly to a safe landing? She supposes that because she was spinning out of control, she had no time to think about it.

The talk of a hospital, she wasn't sure.]

"...I don't know if I want to go back to one... I would rather wait for Satsuki's opinion..."

[02crusnikabel]

"I can help you get you a new broom later, but can we let a doctor check your injuries first? It's not wise to hold your injuries to yourself without checking to make sure there's no fractures."

[innocent_royal]

[She sighs. He does have a point and she still can't move her right arm.]

"Okay, fine... I'll text Satsuki to let her know where I'm going..."

[After sending the text to Satsuki, she texts the nearest street names to Abel.]

[02crusnikabel]

[With the street names, Abel managed to find his way to her. Hopefully, it wasn't as bad as he thought.

Coming closer to her.]

"Hello Princess. Can you move?"

[innocent_royal]

[It was bad, but not terribly. She needs her cuts to be cleaned and dressed properly, but her right arm hangs limp.]

"It hurts to stand. It hurts to move a little."

[She looks around for a broom. She wants something to hang on to.]

[02crusnikabel]

[What was she's looking for? Oh the broom. Except hers was visibly exploded into splinters.]

"Ah be careful. Just..."

[Abel looked around and found a store, which he quickly buys a cheap plastic broom for her, which he handed to her.]

"Here, for you to stand up."

[innocent_royal]

[She gives him a small smile as he comes back with a broom. It doesn't have a seat attached to it, but she has other ways to use it. Upon receiving the broom, she channeled the unique pin she has on her person. The broom began to rise, pulling Anastasia back up to her feet, then lowering back down to waist level. She can lean on this floating broom to hobble along.]

"This is still difficult, but it will do. ... So... Now what?"

[02crusnikabel]

"I have to remind myself to get you a better broom."

[At least with the broom floating up, carrying her, it would make transportation easier. As to her question.]

"Well, let's go to the hospital to make sure nothing is broken."

[innocent_royal]

"Okay..."

[She really doesn't want to go. But she is in no condition to refuse. She knows he can just pick her up and carry her if he has to.]

"I wonder why my broom went out of control? It never happened before..."

[02crusnikabel]

[He walked by her side, making sure she goes smoothly until they both arrived at the hospital's double doors. She sense her unease and a reluctance to go there, but this is the only rationale way to get her injuries treated and taken care off.]

"Go slowly. I don't know anything about magic, but perhaps you should figure that out later."

[innocent_royal]

[She almost trips while they traveled, but she manages to hang on to the broom. Upon reaching the hospital's entrance, she stopped and tried to refuse to go in, but decided to go in anyway.

While Abel does the talking, she thinks over about how to figure out what went wrong with her broom, if it's even safe to fly again, among other questions.]

[02crusnikabel]

Don't worry, you'll get a woman doctor. I'll make sure of that.

[Abel talked to the nurse, and while they wait in the waiting room, the nurse calls for Anastisia for the examination.]

I'll stay here. I'm not going anywhere.

[weavemyownfate]

[Yikes; that was certainly not a message Satsuki was expecting; she was taking care of something in Nova City when it arrived that was just recently settled. So Anastasia's headed to the hospital- A decision she highly approves of.]

Please head there. I will meet you as soon as I can. You were not attacked, correct?

[Text]

[innocent_royal]

No. My flying broom inexplicably went out of control and threw me off while I was flying. I don't think anyone would actually attack me if there's nothing to gain from it.

[Text]

[weavemyownfate]

[She supposes that's true; Anastasia isn't Ryuko after all.]

I just wanted to be certain. Take care of yourself and please give my thanks to your friend.

[And later on she'll have to grill Anastasia about the nature of the mistake to determine if she needs more practice lessons or not.]

It's a sign: witchcraft is wrong

[youfool]

[You rang? Thankfully, Abel's quicker draw, so he'll just, uh, offer moral support. Maybe kill some time with words.]

Ah, sorry about that, An. Glad Abel's gotten to you; swift one, isn't he? Why a broom, exactly?

No set on fire, plz.

[innocent_royal]

"He is. But he hasn't gotten here yet."
[She tries her arm and leg again. Still hurts like a knife dug into bone.]

"A broom to channel the magic I learned from Koishi into to use for flying."

Tempting...

[youfool]

[he's got a bad feeling about this.]

"Eheh, that does sound like something she would do..."

[This is awkward. His heart longs to offer comfort in a nearer way, but Abel was nearer and could probably go farther. While he's thinking of things to talk about to get her mind off it, he remembers the subject he's been procrastinating.]

"Well, aside from this incident, how have you been so far? You're back to your usual size again; that's good. Has Satsuki inducted you into her school? Goodness knows it's big enough for you, whatever your size."

[innocent_royal]

[Locks of her hair now have fallen out of place and into a bothersome spot in front of her eyes. With one arm occupied with holding the phone and the other hurt, she can't do anything about it.]

"Being a fairy was fun... Satsuki has been giving me private lessons in self-defense and other subjects. She hasn't suggested her school to me."

[youfool]

"Heh, you too? She does much the same to me. Wonderful woman, Star, so gracious with her time." [He's kinda worried that 'self-defense' came first.]

"Er, have you ah, needed defending, lately? Other than from gravity, of course." [Very funny, Ted]

[innocent_royal]

[She peers at the off button on the phone. But she decides not to press it.]

"It never hurts for me to know self-defense. You never know when someone is going to go on a rampage and kill people at random."

[youfool]

[An maybe you need to find the off button for your morbidity k]

"Aheheh..."[pained laughter. It'd be funnier if he didn't regularly seek out deranged killers] "You just leave them to me, please God. Should this whole business turn you bedridden, is there anything you'd like? I could bring books, to read or to have them read to you."
