Then comes the smell, the almost overwhelming stench of bodies falling apart. Standing there, moaning and crying out for salvation, those still with their sanity in-tact have taken to forming lines; and those too far gone, listless, ambling mobs. Acrid and nauseating, and made infinitely worse by the heat of what now appears to be a factory filled with "people," those not covered by bloodied and dirtied bandages and rags clutch each other, shrinking away from the fallen body of a large, vaguely humanoid mass.
Standing nearby, a rod-like weapon held in her hand, is Elly. Shoulders rising and falling as she catches her breath, her weapon retracts and is quickly sheathed at her side. Amidst the terrified and pained groans around them, her expression is surprisingly placid, even as she turns toward this person who has somehow found their way to her side. Her gaze locked, she offers her hand out to you, a look of unwavering conviction on her face. ]
Please, lend me your weapon.
[ Strange, when did that blade show up on your belt? ]
no subject
She's ill-prepared for this scene as the massive creature that laid before them. It wasn't the size that had her alarmed, yet its appearance that made her a little unsure as to whether or not she should be here at all. And to think she believed her world had its horrors. There were some that clearly lived in them. ]
Oooh... this could be really bad.
[ Yet concern switches to determination as she rushes over to join the woman's side, eager to assist despite not knowing what was going on. And then came the call for assistance which drew her attention. ]
Weapon? Sorry lady, I don't have any weapon on—
[ A sentence she never finishes as her eyes catch sight of the blade at her hip. When DID that show up, she wonders. ]
... Uh. Are you sure?
no subject
They don't have time for second guessing, and if something isn't done, then Elly might lose her chance. Might lose her nerve.
There's a brief pause before Elly finally nods, swallowing down any fear or reluctance before it has a chance to bubble to the surface. She has to do something. ]
It's all right.
[ Is she saying that to Hana, or to herself? ]
no subject
Hey, uh. You're not ... going to ... [ Does she even want to finish that sentence? ]
no subject
But she can't do that, not like this. Turning her back to Hana, she draws her lips together, taking a centering breath. ]
I can't stand by and watch him suffer like this. If my blood will help ease his pain, then...
[ She crouches down, taking another deep breath. ]
Then I will do whatever I can to make sure his final moments are peaceful.
no subject
[The blade wasn't the most concerning part. It was what this woman intended to do with it. Reno looked at her suspiciously.]
... Why?
no subject
We need to do something. I can't let it suffer like this.
[ Her hand still held out to him, she gives Reno a brief nod. ]
Please.

[He handed it over tensely, still not happy about it.]

Shiro only has time to glance around before the stench forces him to cover his mouth and nose. He swallows back a gag. If he gets sick he'll miss- His mind blanks as the scene unfolds. He doesn't know how long he's stood rooted to the spot in horror and unable to move.
He's seen and been in terrible situations before. None of them compare. What...happened here?
Please, lend me your weapon.
He blinks. Awareness floods back in and the world stops being a film he had only a passing part in.]
Wha-
[It's been a while since he carried one into battle but the weight of a sword is unmistakable. He reaches down and draws it from the sheathe and flips it in his hand to offer it hilt first.]
Wait. What...happened here? How can I help? [Will his arm work here? Will the bayard? He'll only know if he tries to activate either one.]
you knew what you were getting into, you have no one to blame but yourself. also [1/2]
(His face... She knows it, of course, but it isn't quite what she expects to see. Like something familiar, but vaguely out of place. What..?)
Elly is quick to react, smiling at him in a way that doesn't quite reach her eyes. It's a wordless thank you before she takes the hilt with her still-gloved left hand ]
Try to keep them calm.
[ Truthfully, she isn't sure what will happen next, and as she looks at the sword she now holds as she raised her other, ungloved hand, Elly takes a breath— ]
[2/2]
[ And carefully, delicately draws the blade across her palm, eyes closing tightly in anticipation. Shoulders stiffening, she bows her head, sucking in a deep breath through thinly pursed lips.
Thin, pursed lips that, even as they tremble, still managed to hold a smile.
It hurts. It hurts terribly, but it's nothing compared to the pain these people had to endure. And if her blood could act as some kind of balm to ease that suffering... ]
no subject
This isn't the way to help. [He pitches his voice the same way he always did when calling out orders.]
What you need to do is remember and wake up. [He isn't stupid enough to focus solely on her. Memories are dangerous places to be. This one...this one he might need to try to fight in. By Bayard or his arm.]
Think about it. Haven't you done this once before? You should know what comes next.

That smell.
He'd been in Ena's dream earlier, with the destroyed town, the dead bodies, the zombies. And it was disgusting, but he was able to keep it together. Now he knew that smell better than he'd like to admit. So to be here, with those things? Those bandages? The heat? The groaning? His eyes went wide as Elly turned and asked for his weapon, and all he could muster was to hold up one hand, as if to say one moment, please...
Before turning and vomiting behind them. One hand, the one that signaled the pause, began to fumble at his side, looking for some kind of weapon in between horks and blorfs and gasps. Did he have a gunblade? Knife? Bayard?
Nope. A sword. O-kay then. After another few moments of evacuating his stomach, he just sighs, letting out a little whimper before turning to face the memory's owner. The hand's on the hilt, and while he looks to hesitate for a moment, seeing those shambling mounds of rags was a pretty strong motivator.
So he holds out the hilt for her. ]
Tell me you're gonna fix this with magi- [ Nope. Wrong universe. Also here's a hiccup. ] With ether? [ He's still a man on a mission to see magical explosions, but he knows the smell of fiery death wouldn't do his stomach any favors. So this is gonna get worse before it gets better. ]
oh my god I'm so sorry this turned out really extra
Hopefully she won't remember this (she's definitely going to remember this).
But his brief gastrointestinal fopaux does get a response from her, as she pauses to reach out with that same hand for him, a concerned and somewhat confused look on her face. Not just because he's managed to lose his, erm, composure here, but because of a strange feeling of déjà vu. Like she's seeing something familiar, but somehow out of place. There's something wrong here, but it's just out of reach.
Elly quickly pushes that feeling aside, however, lowering her hand slightly as Hunk gains his composure again. Brows knitting, she draws her lips together, letting her gaze fall to the humanoid mass. ]
Ether won't fix this. It could never... These people... Even this one here...
[ Trailing off, she gently bites her lip, her left hand clenching at her side. Why. Why did it have to be like this? ]
They're still human, just like all of us. The only "salvation" that they're offered is something like this; to be used and thrown away as weapons. I can't... Like this, I can't.
[ She steps forward then, taking the hilt of his sword with her left hand, she cradles the flat of the blade with an ungloved right. ]
I want to help him. This is the only way that I know how.
[ And with that, her wrist begins to twist slightly, the sharp end of the blade beginning to press against bare skin. Not quite cutting yet, but... ]
no subject
[ These things might've been human, might've been weapons in her reality. But this isn't her reality. It's a memory, and he knows it. She seems intent on doing this, which means it's probably supposed to happen. And that's where he'll focus his attention. ]
How is this the only way you can help them? There has to be another way!

Finding herself next to Elly though? A bit of a surprise. That request? Even moreso. Because she's not offense, she's support, and she's about to say as much when she feels that weight on her hip. ]
Just so we're clear, that's not mine.
[ She doesn't know whose it is but. Not hers. Definitely not. ]
Futaba's being travel sized works in her favor for once!
While she feels her mind try to dispel that feeling, the older woman forces it back to the forefront of her mind. ]
...It isn't yours?
[ Somehow, that doesn't make sense. ]
no subject
[ Said with a very befuddled shrug???? She's just... trying to roll with what's happening here until she can find a good point to try to break the suspension of disbelief. ]
I'm not really a big offensive fighter normally anyway.

The low, baleful sounds from the creature before her spurs Castor's mind back into action and she glances between it and Elly's face. She knows suffering when she hears it.
With a last glance over, Castor draws the weapon, then holds the hilt out to the woman who asked for it. ]
Do what you have to.
all of my Sophia-era icons are too happy for this :(
Because punching things is Fei's job, that's why.There should be a look of relief on Elly's face, as Castor offers her the blade without a second thought. But for a moment, her expression looks clouded, even as she raises the weapon slightly to balance it. She lets her other, ungloved hand rest on the flat of the blade before taking a breath.
(If this could help ease his suffering, then—)
It probably doesn't take a genius to figure out what she's about to do, especially with the way she closes her eyes, hesitating in that instant. ]
no subject
But this? This was far, far worse than anything he could have imagined. Were these people even human? Or-- were they once? And as if the sights weren't enough to leave him reeling, there was that smell twisting his gut into knots.]
Oh my D--
[But the one beside him pulls his attention away. Didn't he see her somewhere before, around Vaikuntha?... No, this was no time to consider it.]
Hold on-- you're gonna FIGHT that... thing? By yourself?!
[Like he was just going to stand around for it! He reached for the gunblade at his belt... but found his fingers wrapped around a less familiar hilt. Hold on a minute, where did this other-- Oh, whatever! He hurriedly pushed it into her hands and reached back for his own weapon, but only served to yank the scabbard clear off of his belt. Doggone it-- well, that's fine, he'll just...]
Hnf-- Why's it stuck like this?!
no subject
But it's strange, as soon as he hands off his weapon, he seems to fade back into the scenery, as Elly takes a step past the hound struggling with his own weapon, a placid look on her face. One foot placed in front of the other, almost as if she were sleepwalking, she moves to crouch near the monster lying there.
She hesitates then, shifting the sword and taking the hilt with her left hand. Bringing her right up to rest against the flat of the blade, she takes a deep breath before closing her eyes tightly. Well, this doesn't look like a mercy kill. What is she doing? ]
no subject
This was no battle in the making. Everything about her approach was too sober. Too pitiful. A fine, worrisome line between peaceful and hesitant. And maybe it was the scenery that surrounded it, but it just looked... wrong.
Yet not half as much as her technique. After all, Red used a sword himself; and her motions didn't align with any sort of attack he could think of... or even a coup de grâce. With that grip, she'd just send the blade right into--
Hold on. Was she doing this on purpose?! Red wrenched himself free from whatever complacent spectator seat this memory was stuffing him into, taking a step forward behind her.]
-W-wait!! What do you think you're DOING?! Don't tell me you're gonna use that on yourself!

She's aware of someone there, someone speaking to her, but her mind hasn't caught up with everything just yet.]
Wh... What is that thing?
sorry, business trip happened
A weapon, created by the Solaris Ministry for the purpose of subjugation. He was a human once, but now...
[ She pauses then, turning away slightly from the other woman. A hand clenches tightly at her side. ]
