2nd Petal [Voice/Action for Violet City] [Backdated to shortly after Cobra's post]

[The group consisting of Shirou, Sakura, and Rin hadn't been in Violet City long when Cobra made his announcement. Shirou, being the reckless hero that he is, had immediately run off to the Academy, leaving the two girls to follow. Sakura didn't hesitate at all; she ran in with him, helping him evacuate the people inside before the gas could spread too much.

Unfortunately, while she was helping several people out of the building, the cloth she had been keeping over her face to avoid the gas had slipped, and she got one good whiff of it. Enough to send her into a coughing fit, and gasping for air as soon as they reached a safe distance from the building. But still she went back in, continuing to aid her group in evacuating.

By the time they're done and all of the trainers are out, the gas is really starting to take its toll on her. But still she goes on; she pulls out her 'gear, sending out a quick message to anyone that might be concerned.]

The academy... d-don't worry. Everyone... we got everyone out...

[She begins coughing again, and quickly ends the recording.]

[ Cue Rin pulling Sakura away. Things might still be awkward between them but she's not letting her inhale more smoke. ]

We need to get some distance from the smoke now.

Keh! What a weakling.

[He has no idea why he's writing this, but... he really is relieved to hear Sakura's announcement.]

Thank you. I am relieved. You sound like you are in need of medical attention. I would provide it myself, if I were anywhere near Violet. Do see a doctor, as soon as you can.

And again, thank you.

[ This place can give her love and take it away from her. This place can give her friends and take them away just as quick. But the moment this place, the moment any fool places their hands upon those close to her Master, is one where she takes action. ]

Are you... are you alright!?

[ Frantic, and yet unmoving. Because even witnessing such a crime, she still doesn't make any attempt to leave Goldenrod City. ]

[Sakura doesn't really have enough fight in her to resist, so she lets herself be dragged away.]

I-I'll be fine. It was only a little...

Save your breath, apparently the smoke itself isn't too dangerous, but you can't inhale too much.

I didn't think that idiot would actually do it!

[And there's Shirou running out of the building. His mask is gone, and he's not looking to good.]

Let...let me...let me help...!

Hey! Don't make me go and drag you all the way out! Follow me, Emiya-kun!

[ But the one who answers is the sister how kept her mouth covered. Rin looks tired, but far from intoxicated. ]

Sakura is alright. She needs to rest for a bit and keep away from the smoke, but everyone is going to be fine.

[Sakura can't help but laugh, and even avoids turning it into a coughing fit.] You know him... I would be surprised if he didn't go in.

[There's no teasing there. In fact, her tone almost sounds... fond, perhaps?

She tries pulling out of Rin's grasp, clearly trying to get over to Shirou.] He needs help more than I do. We can support him between us, right?

[She sounds a little better, now that she's not so close to the source of the gas, but her voice still sounds a little faint. Even so, there's a bit of an edge to it.]

If helping people makes me weak... then call me weak. Those people... they're safe, so I can deal with this.

Yes, well, that too.

I was talking about you passing out from the gas, actually. Honestly, it's just some stupid meek poison that can be fought by yourself in a matter of minutes. How stupid of you to faint from it.

[She's not sure if the text will reach whoever this is, what with it being anonymous and all, but she tries anyway.]

I'll be okay, but thank you.

Leaving those people there just wouldn't be right. Someone had to do something.

[He's catching up.]

Huh? What was that? Did you--

[Time for a coughing fit!]

Uu-..! Sakura, Sakura! [ have one little girl's voice coming through the device. ]

Are you okay?

Yep! I'm just fine, Maria-chan. [It doesn't sound like a total lie! Her voice is a little scratchy and weak, but she doesn't sound as bad as she did before.] Don't worry, okay?

Rin.

[ She's surprised to see her, but more relieved, because honestly she knows her better. That and she also trusts Rin to keep others out of harm's way. ]

You have handled it all on your own then?

We can both drag him out, then!

[ Alright, so the sisters are going to grab an arm each and pull the silly little hero out of the smoke and away, alright? Alright. ]

[ Trained to react to crisis, that's her. ]

Yeah, things are settling down over here. It wasn't as bad as I thought; it seems that whatever the gas contained wasn't too dangerous, so once we got far away the symptoms started to lessen.

What can you tell me about this Cobra person?

... If Sakura says it's okay, then Maria won't worry, uu-..

[ she's pretty gullible either way. ]

It just sounded really bad just now.

Not much admittedly other than he is a coward who wormed his way into hiding shortly after this. [ Don't worry, Saber's on top of it. ] I shall handle him myself.

Seems that this place isn't without its own quota of fools.

Naturally.

He was ignorant enough to challenge me however, so I will handle the criminal accordingly.

[Sakura feels bad, but she just doesn't want the little girl to worry w;A;w]

I was feeling a little bad before, but I'm all okay now! I promise.

[I-It's not a total lie!]

Right! [And Shirou is now caught between two girls supporting him! Lucky bastard.

Sakura is surprisingly strong, given her appearance, and doesn't seem to have much trouble helping Rin lead Shirou to a safe area.] Here should be good...

Wh-whoa hey--!

[This is embarrassing...]

I-I don't need this...

I didn't faint. All I did was turn my gear off so it wouldn't record a bunch of coughing.

[ it's okay, Maria won't worry this way..!! ]

Then it's a promise, uu-! And you can't break promises, so Maria will believe Sakura for sure! We're friends, after all.

Yep, you're right. And I would never break a promise with a friend.

Oh.

Well, it's still idiotic that you had to fall a bit ill from that man's stupid plan.

It's since Sakura's a good kid, uu-. Wouldn't break a promise, just like Maria!

[Even though Maria can't see it, Sakura actually blushes a little at the compliment.] You're a good kid too, you know that, Maria-chan? I hope we can meet in person, soon.

You can say whatever you want. I won't feel weak or ashamed of what I did.

Maria wants to meet too, want to mee-t!

[ that makes her wonder, though.. ]

Uu-, where exactly is Sakura right now? Is Sakura getting closer to Maria already?

I'm not sure! it all depends on where Maria-chan is. Me and my friends are in Violet City right now.

Maria's in Goldenrod right now! Uu-, Maria's been staying with Lion and Will and Beato.. have been in Goldenrod for a while now.

Goldenrod, huh... [That's where the Breeding Center is, if she remembers correctly. Shirou mentioned they needed help, and Saber offered to help her find a place to stay if she needed it...

She didn't want to leave her traveling companions, but she had a feeling things might be... difficult, in the future. If it came to that, it would be a good fallback.]

Well... I can't say when I'll reach that city, but I'll be sure to call you as soon as I do. Does that sound good?

Uu-, it does! [ Maria just nods happily - completely oblivious to what Sakura is thinking. ]

Maria can't wait to see Sakura, so Sakura has to call for sure and quickly if she's in Goldenrod, okay?

[...]

...your purple hair is stupid. It reminds me of an ugly witch's soul.

[YEAH, TAKE THAT SAKURA. MOST MATURE BEING, AMIRIGHT.]
