[ Video/Action ] around 8:30AM

[celestial_wizard]

[ Several hours after Erza's post goes out to the public, another is made, this one from Lucy's device. Only it's not Lucy that's making the post, but a blue eyed, pink haired girl dressed in a French maid uniform. ]

I am in need of assistance. Lucy-sama has been attacked - I do not know who attacked her, regrettably. However, I found her a short distance from the training facility, unconscious and, drained of much of her blood. It would seem she had been there for several hours prior.

[ And she really should have checked on Lucy sooner, but Lucy's spent hours Because yeah, she's moving pretty quickly with the unconscious Lucy in her arms. Normally she'd have contacted Erza or Natsu first, but the safety and health of her summoner was more important. She (or someone else) could tell them later. For now she would take Lucy to the clinic where someone can help her. ]

[ Action at the clinic or Video over the network ok~ (with Virgo or Lucy when she wakes up). Follow up to this ]

Then it is a vampire which attacked Lucy-sama.

[ Not a question, really, though she carefully put Lucy on the examining table, though Lucy still groaned slightly from the movement. ]

[bloodspeaker]

[Adrasteius sets his hand on Lucy's collarbone--her skin is distressingly cool to the touch. That confirms it, then.]

Puncture wounds on the neck. Severe blood loss. Weak pulse. If it's not a vampire, it's somebody who thinks the same way, and that's just as bad.

[Warm, healing light limns his hand as he talks. This energy flows from his palm and into Lucy's body. The bite marks close and mend quickly, but the real work is restoring vitality in the wake of so much blood loss. That will take a little time. He frowns at Virgo as the healing does its work.]

So what the hell are you, exactly?

[celestial_wizard]

[ Virgo is silent for a few minutes, taking in this information because she knew Leo would want to know -everything-, and check up on Lucy himself later. At the question, she glances at Adrasteius in surprise, more relaxed as the healing magic began to do its work. ]

My name is Virgo. I am one of Lucy-sama's celestial spirits.

[bloodspeaker]

That's hardly enlightening.

[He presses his other palm to Lucy's forehead, and this hand, too, glows brightly with Holy Light. The spell has a powerful replenishing effect--Lucy should be coming to any moment now, and feeling quite warm besides.]

[celestial_wizard]

It is what I am. [ Secretive celestial spirit troll is secretive. ]

We Celestial Spirits contract with and aid Celestial Spirit Mages such as Lucy-sama when she is in need of us.

[ Turning her attention back to Lucy, she smiled slightly when the girl's complexion began to look better than as pale as it was prior, and her breathing was easier. Gradually she pulled herself back to the waking world, her eyes opening slightly. ]

... where?

[bloodspeaker]

Hmnh. [He files that away to think about later--as irritable as he is, the patient does take priority. He keeps one warm hand against Lucy's forehead; with his other hand, he snaps his fingers and conjures a cup of sweet-smelling, fortified water.]

You're in the clinic, girl. Can you sit up?

[celestial_wizard]

[ Now that Lucy was awake, Virgo was quiet, content to watch and wait, a slight smile on her face. Lucy's gaze trailed towards the physician for a second. ]

The... clinic? [ But she'd passed out on the street, so how did she -- ah. ]

Virgo... [ Relief in her voice, as she started to push herself upright. ]

I think so. [ She was a little dizzy, so she'd have to move slowly at first at least. ]

[bloodspeaker]

Here. Drink this, when you're able.

[he hands her the flask.]

It'll help you with your strength.

[he's got questions, of course, but he's not going to bombard her straight away. He'll let her take a sip of water first, at least.]

[celestial_wizard]

[ Lucy nods, gratefully taking the flask in one hand. Glancing back towards the spirit waiting patiently at the side of the table, she smiled tiredly. ]

Go back, Virgo - I'll be fine now, I'm in good hands. [ And though her grip was shakey, she lifted the flask to her lips to take a sip, sighing out through her nose. Virgo may have wanted to stick around, but she instead bows to Lucy's request, and then to the doctor in turn, grateful. And then she's just gone, vanished into thin air. ]

[bloodspeaker]

[Interesting. Adra observes this without comment, though. He keeps his attention fixed on Lucy, watching her to make sure that she drinks the flask down.]

You might want to stay here for the night, just to rest, and so that we can monitor your condition. I'd say you ought to be fine, though. Magical healing can jump-start the process, but your body still needs time to fully restore itself. You were almost completely drained of blood. It's a wonder you survived the trip here, to be honest.

[celestial_wizard]

[ She manages to drink said flask down like a good girl, nodding slowly. THe events from the previous evening were still pretty fuzzy to her, to be honest. ]

I see...my friends will wonder where I am. [ Which can be easily rectified by sending Loki or Virgo off to let them know - assuming they hadn't heard by now. No, wait, who is she kidding. Even if they hadn't heard, they touch base regularly and both Natsu and Erza would come looking for her if she hadn't checked in. Natsu would probably find her first, with his nose. ]

... I don't really know what happened, but... I've been in dangerous situations before. Maybe not exactly like this, of course...

[bloodspeaker]

They're welcome to visit. During posted hours.

[any time before and after that will result in irritated glares. Adrasteius takes the flask back from her, refills it, and then shakes it at her again.]

Keep drinking, girl. Maybe it will help jog your memory. Do you not even recall who you were with before the attack happened?

[celestial_wizard]

[ Hahaha yeaaah, if either of her friends wanted to see her before or after posted hours, Adrasteius would have to do a LOT more than glare to get them to go away. Especially Natsu. :D ]

...Okay. [ Obediently she takes another drink, slower this time, frowning a bit at the question and shaking her head. ]

No I - I was alone, I remember that much. I was leaving the training center to shower, but I'd planned to go back to meet my teammates.
