Day 201 [event post]

Who: Zahi and everyone who wants to go hunt down the cure
Open: Open
When: 201- onwards
Where: the monument, and then out on the Skyway
What: People in the Bastion are falling sick, and Zahi knows where a cure can be found. Unfortunately, it won't be easy to get to.
Format: action
Warnings: none

[On Day 201, after several people have fallen ill, another meeting is called. This time, however, it is not Nathaniel who has called for everyone. It's Zahi.]

Okay, I know everyone's been worried about the people in the hospital, and it looks like our fears weren't unfounded: some of the people who went on that last trip, they caught something.

I've been watching the symptoms, and I think I know what this is. A long time ago, back before Zayna was born, there was a terrible illness that claimed the lives of many Ura. Everyone who fell sick here, they had the same symptoms as those who caught the disease before.

On the plus side, this means that it can be cured. I know of a clinic, way out in the Terminals, where there should be some medicine stocked. Not only can we cure the sick, but we can give another kind of medicine to those who aren't sick yet, so they won't catch it at all.

The downside is that it's gonna take a while to get there. It'll be at least two days there, and possibly more to track down exactly where the clinic is, and then the same amount of time back. We're looking at a four-day minimum, which means we won't be much help to those who are sick right now. They'll either be dead or getting better by the time we get back.

Then there's the fact that it's really dangerous out there. Zayna and I were out on the Terminals before we came here, and let's just say that there's a reason we went looking for somewhere safer to stay.

If you'd rather stay here, I can understand that. The Bastion is an amazing place, and I wouldn't be surprised if someone here managed to save everyone. But I'm not a fan of putting all my eggs in one basket, so I figured it's worth a shot to go and try to get some of the medicine.

What do you guys think?

[At least Zuko's judgment is short-lived, Aoi. She probably wouldn't have known any better herself.

She looks at Tobias and then back towards the Bastion.]


How fast do you think you can make it back?

<Pretty fast. Zahi, as soon as you're done with this, the others are going to need you.>

[There's kind of a reason he's slightly charred.]

<No. An explosive got set off and Ahime got hurt. Stabbed with something that got thrown by the blast. The others look all right but her wound looks pretty bad.>

[He shakes his leg a little to make sure that the bag is tied tightly.]

<I figured you would probably be one of the better ones out of our group to grab. Getting the cure is the priority but I don't want to lose anyone else. I'll head back this way once I drop this off.>

[Getting the cure back to the Bastion is their priority, and Zuko's encouraged by how fast Tobias seems to think he can move, but she doesn't want to lose anyone here either.

And she's fully expecting to run into more trouble than just an injured woman. In her experience, explosives tend to signal bad guys. She knows, she's been the bad guy who got signalled. She nods to Zahi and then turns to Aoi.]


Keep close to me unless I tell you otherwise. Someone probably set those explosives; we don't need to charge into trouble.

[Since Aoi seems to have even more trouble with 'look before you leap' than Zuko does.]

G-got it! Tobias, Zahi, be safe!

[She takes a step towards Zuko, pale and wide-eyed but somehow seeming resilient.]

Don't worry too much about me, okay? I-I know I'm not smart, but I promise, I'm real tough!
daughterofursa: (serious face)

[personal profile] daughterofursa 2014-07-01 01:59 am (UTC)(link)
You're not dumb either, but you're not a warrior. I don't want anyone else getting hurt.

Come on, and keep quiet.
amphibian: (to the ears)

[personal profile] amphibian 2014-07-04 07:38 pm (UTC)(link)
[She isn't sure how much she buys not dumb, but she's happy to take the vote of confidence.]

Got it. [It's going to take considerable effort to keep herself calm enough to be quiet, but for now, she's managing.] That goes for you, too, okay? Be careful.

[And off they go, Aoi as silent as can be at Zuko's side.]
