Lol, Jasper gonna get some down time with Martini in our safe little dome while you people possibly die out there hehe

The Midnight Train to Nowhere

"You're all scaring Jasper."

Trying to clear her head and push her anxiety attack down, she was glad that Harper came in to help her to a seat. Her weakened state called for a lot more down time and rest, but the action was never over in Nowhere. Being thrown back harshly against the wall while still in her seat wasn't the most pleasant feeling while her head was hurting from the bickering and shouting. Chair rocking back down to stand on all fours, she shrieked and shielded herself from flying planks of smashed wood. Meekly opening her eyes, the unicorn was limp at the center of the room with a slit throat. She gagged and her empty stomach twisted into a painful knot. Grimacing, she could spot familiar black wisps appear and reform elsewhere in the room. 'Oh no, not again'

First, it was Songbird who took a stab for Leila, then it was Avian. The dragoon took a fatal one for Lesley. Her heart heaved and sank miserably as Victoria flashed into her mind.

"J-Jasper! Hurry, Avi is- He's-"

She was already crawling towards them before the mermaid cried out to her, avoiding falling wreckage until she finally reached the protective dome which was a combination of Martini's bubble and Brandy's spell. Inspecting the dragoon's wounds and Martini's panic stricken expression, tears spilling from the frantic guide's eyes; Jasper was having an anxiety attack and she was still having trouble gasping for breaths, but she had to pull it together. "U-u-uh, we n-need to st-stop the bleeding.." She was blinking rapidly as she looked around the dome uselessly, but she couldn't focus and there was no time. Stripping off her top, she would never do this in any other situation, but she could worry about showing too much skin than she was comfortable with after this was over.

Ripping the thick robe at the seams, she tore the now larger piece of fabric into long strips. Once she had finished destroying the clothing, she asked Martini to keep Avian's top half up as she wrapped the bandages around the Nobody's rib cage and torso area, using balls of textile to soak up the bleeding before tying the wounds down securely. At the moment, she still didn't have enough essence in her amulet to fully heal the dragoon, but she knew how to at least give him a shot at making it. Shouting at the top of her lungs for Hakuren, she told the ice mage to cool down Avian's body temperature to slow down blood flow out of the cuts. Closing her eyes, she placed both hands on his chest and summoned her wisps. Immediately, the blood loss he was suffering from stopped almost completely as she caused the blood to crust over quickly and clog the openings.

Jasper wiped the grime from his cheeks as she cupped the dragoon's face in her hands. "Don't worry, we'll get you home," she whispered to him as she cried softly. She looked up at Martini, "I-I thi-think he can ho-hold up until this fight is over, but he n-needs to rest. Once I g-gain more essence, I can continue to further heal his c-cuts ok?" She wanted to provide Martini with some reassurance, but she wasn't sure herself. The guy was in critical condition and she was no doctor. Everything she had just done was all based off of survival movies she'd watched in the past.

Turning to Brandy who had Songbird in hand, she helped him lower the white-haired guide onto his safe side. If they put him down on his back, the dagger would budge and he'd bleed out like Avian was supposed to suffer. The best thing to do was keep the dagger in there for it kept the blood from escaping even more. Nodding at Brandy, she sent the message that the others needed more help and she and Martini would tend to the injuries.

The scarf was completely drenched, dripping in scarlet liquid. 'They bleed.. they're not much different from us,' she thought and she asked Martini to soak the scarf in clean water so she could wring it out. Healing the skin around the dagger, it caused a tighter seal around the weapon and she gawked at how horrid the temporary solution was, but his bleeding had halted. Using the wet scarf after she had cleared it of blood, she used it to wipe the area clean.

As the rest of the group fought outside of the dome, her anxiety attack eventually died out and she was able to breathe a sigh of relief. She kept Songbird from rolling onto his back by keeping him leaning against her shoulder as he groaned every now and then. Hearing a being's sounds of pain right beside you, almost right into your ear, is probably one of the most humbling experiences she'd ever had in her life.

"Martini," she turned to the mermaid who had Avian resting on her thighs, "How do you go around all day in just a bra?" Jasper's question was uttered with utmost genuinity and innocence. Shivering in her top undergarment she looked at Martini, head tilted to one side with a concerned expression. "Doesn't it get cold?"

(0.0)?

Posted btw. Yeah, Jasper is a drama queen, whatevahhh. The pass out has come once again. I'm sure Ace and Harper are familiar with it, but the newbies might be like wtfuh?

The Midnight Train to Nowhere

Shooting around the room, it never occurred to her that Avian had uttered something in response to the item she had found. In all her excitement, everyone else didn't seem to be too thrilled with the find and as a result, she decided that if it wasn't the hidden switch, then there was no use in making a huge fuss about it.

"Y'know bear, that could actually be bad news. For all we know, the witch has already roasted the poor rider. If they were here, you think we'd at least hear them? This place is pretty small."

Her eyes grew wide in horror. How could he say something so horrid. Having previously felt so happy about the discovery of the armour, she now looked at it as the last remnant the rider might've left before dying. Running her fingertips over the engravings on the arm piece, she felt mournful and she hated how quickly Hakuren could flip her mood upside down. Something about him was just so cold and unwelcoming. Sniffling a bit, she placed the metal part back onto its former spot on the shelf and sighed somberly in defeat, wishing that she'd never pointed it out to begin with. He could be right, the rider could very well be gone by now, the baby dragon too. Clenching her eyes tightly, she didn't want to cry again, she had lost too much water already and was getting severely dehydrated.

"Martini, you're good friends with the Queen right? Do you know when or why you guys started getting human shipments? People even die on these missions don't they? Look what happened to Vince!"

At first she wasn't really paying much attention to the conversation behind her, but as she felt the tension rise in his aura, she turned around to see Lesley hunched over Martini who was sitting with a shocked expression on the chair.

"Tell me. Tell me how many shipments of humans you guys have gotten and tell me how many have died!"

She flinched as he smacked his hand down on the table, his rage clearly fueling this outburst. He had lost a hand and she could only imagine what that felt like and how it could emotionally damage a person. To have the knowledge staring you right in the face for the rest of your life, that you would never be the same again. Everyone else in the room looked just as startled as Martini, but she knew that everyone was having the same mental battle in their heads. Who to side with? Lesley was human and all his points were valid. Jasper's breaths were beginning to quicken as the argument continued to heat up.

"Lesley! She risked her life for you!"

"Well," he looked uncertain, "they could have left us long ago, but they didn't."

Heart rate gradually beating faster, she saw Inadi step in to remove the panting Lesley away from Martini who was still dumbstruck with the sudden turn in atmosphere.

"Yeah," Hakuren sneered, "well, this is a job to them."

Jasper watched as Harper approached Hakuren with steady footsteps, yet they were filled with alarming annoyance. The ice mage seemed to beckon him on as he let out a laugh and Harper snapped. A loud gasp escaped her mouth as Harper's fist made contact with Haku's jaw. The albino was mortified, tears were welling up in her eyes and her legs were weakening. They were supposed to be a family and she felt so thankful just moments ago, what was happening? She couldn't think straight and her head was buzzing with questions again. The guides had always been people she felt safe with, but now she was viewing them in a new light, a dark and ominous presence.

"Hakuren has a point," his voice was frantic. "Just how many humans have died here?" He was repeating Lesley, "how many batches have come and gone?" The boy's eyes went steely. "You've seen this happen all before, but you don't care, do you? Because to all of you, we're just another batch, just another casualty! Vince is dead, but it doesn't really mean anything but a drop in your paycheck, isn't the right?"

All of Leon's panicked outcrys were flooding into her head to join all the other accusations made by both Lesley and Hakuren. Her own questions were now a big ugly mix with everyone else's said inquiries. The tension and chaos in the room was so high and her body heat shot up as she broke out into sweats.

"Surely there has to be an answer to that question guides. An answer you have to know about. So how about it then," He said as he stopped spinning the spear, the tip pointed at the guides as the smile disappeared and light reflecting off his glasses, hiding his dark glare. "What exactly does Nowhere need with us humans in the end?"

This was it, she could feel the anxiety attack coming onto her as she was losing the ability to suppress it. Mind racing with millions of unanswered questions, all the horrors she had witnessed and all the zombies she had slaughtered, the euphoria she felt as she realized just how precious all these people were to her and how much they had reshaped her personality, her heart pumping and pulsing, her mind hazing... Taking slow steps towards Inadi, her legs could barely carry her as she fought the "black out" to her utmost ability. The only sound in the painfully silent room was the light thuds of her footsteps. Reaching out, she placed a hand on Inadi's hand and pushed down to lower the weapon back to his side. Then, with her body quivering and tears flowing down the sides of her face, she turned to look at the rest of the group.

"Stop..." It was all so exhausting and she let go of her final grasp on staying upright. She slowly lowered herself down to her knees as she felt so weakened by the all the fighting and emotions bombarding her mind.
