Nonononoooo, keep it by all means. It just means I'm going to need to take a day or two to think about how to react to this (and allow the others to post).

Edit: I'm also interested in seeing how the rest of the squad reacts before I post LOL.

This was never in my military first aid courses... Um.

Well congratulations. You broke the Co-GM. I legitimately have no idea how to write a response to that. Should I have her wake up? Sleep through it? I am confused.

Evan's Post

The battle appeared to be won, but the collapsing buildings filled Evan with trepidation even as the imperials retreated. Someone might have gotten injured in that fight, and the Darcsen would not be happy if their medical supplies remained out of reach for long. Setting up a course for the hamlet, Evan drove the APC towards the group of people rallying around the buildings.

...

When he arrived, the Darcsen was shouting orders and the majority of the squad seemed to either be tending to injuries or trying to excavate one of the collapsed houses. After he climbed out of the APC and jumped to the ground, Evan hustled over to Harald, yelling: "Darcsen! Just got here. The APC's got medical supplies in the back incase you need it." before rushing over to the collapsed building.

Brutish though he may be, Evan was not stupid. From all the people trying to excavate the rubble, someone had to still be trapped inside and his sheer muscle mass would make him invaluable in the rescue attempt. As he began his work, lifting the heaviest pieces of rubble that the rest of the squad had trouble even moving, he noticed that a few of the wounded were helping with the rescue. The fact that the quiet, usually standoffish girl, Brenna was helping despite her wounds made him concerned. If even she was helping despite her wounds, the attack must not have gone well at all... the majority of the squad must have been wounded. How the hell were they supposed to hold the crossroads in this state?

"ONE, TWO, THREE... HEEEEEAAAAAAVE!"

With a mighty tug, Evan helped several other squad members raise a partially buried beam, revealing a terribly wounded and nearly dead Lilly in the gap underneath it. Straining and bracing himself so that the beam did not fall back down on top of her, Evan yelled to the rest of the squad. "I'LL HOLD THIS! GET HER OUT OF THERE! ... SOMEONE GET THE DAMN MEDICAL KIT!" It didn't look like there was anything around that could be used to prop up the beam in short order, so Evan held it on his knee, before squatting down to position his shoulder under it and lift again. A new shower of dust coated Lilly from the movement of the beam, but that was the least of her worries. Evan was more concerned about if they could get her out before his strength inevitably failed and forced him to lower the beam. He could hold it... He had to. He wasn't going to let someone die because he, he who was easily the strongest in the squad, gave up due to simple exhaustion. His every muscle strained as he held the beam in place, and sweat dripped down his face. The beam did not move, though. He would never let that happen. Fuckin' piece of shit imps... They'll pay for this.

No, not BF2, BC2. Same developers, different timeline.

@Zarkun

Bad Company 2 has it as well. The hitbox is really funky for it, though, so I rarely use it.

Valkyria Chronicles: Lions of the South

Wait, do we have a medic..? There's a large vat of ragnaid in the APC, same as the medics use in the games.

If memory serves, the nearest thing we have to a medic is Bons with his large ragnaid. I think.

@Lennon79

Well in VC3, the engineers were basically the combat medics. They could even revive people.

I didn't check to see if anyone was equipped with that, though, but I'd assume the APC would have a decent medical stash on it.

Valkyria Chronicles: Lions of the South

AND I'M ALLOWED TO POST THINGS LIKE THIS, BECAUSE RAGNAID CURES EVERYTHING! YAAAAY!~
You'll have to forgive me for this one. Rather than being an attention whore in the battle, I am being an attention whore by hogging the medic. It only happens occasionally, I swear.

It's getting late though, so I'll write up Evan's post tomorrow.

<Snipped quote by Raven_Operative>

But remember, life is random. So I'll be good tomorrow o 3o

@Slypheed

Awesome!

Lilly's Post

"... Run! Get out, move!" They had just finished clearing the house when Corporal Stichler began yelling for the group to run. Lilly was confused by this (they had just cleared the house, where were they running to?), and she looked at Stichler with a perplexed expression just as their house exploded. "Wha-" *BOOOOM!* For the second time in the battle, Lilly was thrown by an explosion. Unlike the previous time, though, this wasn't a quick shockwave that knocked her back with a few scrapes. No, this explosion easily picked her up and flung her across the room, slamming her into a wall with a sickening crunch. As the house collapsed on top of her, Lilly blacked out, her last thought being about how this really was not her day.

...

.....

"...y?" *clatter* *crash* *thud* "...L...ly?" When Lilly slowly came to, she was immediately made aware of a terrible headache and loud ringing in her ears. In the distance it sounded like someone was yelling something, but she couldn't make it out over her impaired hearing and the sounds of rubble shifting around. "Wha... What happened...?" She tried to move but found herself unable to, with a dull pain resonating from her chest and... well, everywhere. When her vision returned and her eyes focused enough to see, Lilly saw just how bad of a predicament she was in. The entire house had collapsed onto of her, leaving her trapped in a small air pocket that was filled with dust and smoke. Through a few small gaps in the rubble, she could see Kyo in a similar but worse situation. He was still unconscious from both the impact of a beam landing on him, and a gunshot wound that showed how even with smoke to mask his approach, bringing a sword to a gunfight had been a less than successful idea. There was no sign of Brenna or Stichler from what she could see.

"..illy! Are you there?!"

From above her she could hear someone calling her name, though she couldn't pick out who it was from the muffling all the rubble was causing. Still in shock from the blast, she could barely muster up a reply. "...Yes... Yes... Yes, I'm here... Kyo's here too." A flurry of activity above caused more dust and dirt to rain down on her. Someone was talking. Someone was yelling. It sounded like people were trying to move some of the rubble.

"Are you hurt?"

Another question was yelled to her. ... and it was a good one. Woozily looking around, Lilly tried to ascertain if she was seriously injured or not. Everything hurt, but it was a dull pain that if compared to heat, was similar to a hot water bottle insulated with many layers of wool. Even if she was seriously injured, she wasn't feeling it right now.

...

Oh.

When she looked down at her stomach, she saw a splinter as thick as her wrist impaling her into the wall behind her. So that was why she couldn't move from this seated position... Blood slowly trickled out of it and the innumerable other deep cuts and bruises that dotted her torso, legs and arms, and pooled around her on the floor. Her armor had done nothing to protect against the shrapnel from the tank's blast, and her body was paying the price for it.

"... I'm fine..."

Somewhere in the back of Lilly's mind she was aware that her injuries could possibly be lethal, but it didn't feel serious. She was actually feeling better. Even as she raised a bloodied hand to her face for inspection, she felt the pain in her body slowly fading away and being replaced by a creeping numbness and feeling of cold. She shivered involuntarily, causing a slight increase in the throbbing pain emanating from her stomach.

"... It's cold... It's very cold down here..."

While she waited, Lilly considered attempting to pull the smaller splinters out of her arms, but gave up when she found out she could barely grip the splinters, much less pull on them. "Oh... I must have overexerted myself... The battle must have been really tiring. Maybe I should rest while I wait for the rest of the squad..." With that, Lilly slumped back against the wall she was pinned against and passed into a state of semi-consciousness, neither asleep nor awake. It was fine that she rested like this. All she had to do was wait on the squad to dig her out. The cold aside, she felt perfectly fine. Maybe once they found her, Mr. Hunt would lend her a jacket to warm her up...

Valkyria Chronicles: Lions of the South

Heh. Maybe.

Something tells me @Slypheed would not be OK with me burying Brenna/Celeste, so if she(?) manages to post before you, probably not.

BUT since she(?)'s busy currently, we may very well have need of your digging skills.

God I love this RP.

Valkyria Chronicles: Lions of the South

Part of the reason I wrote Lilly as being completely unsuited for war was because I have a somewhat sadistic fascination with fucking over my own characters. And now that the house they were in has been exploded, all I can say is:

Poor Lilly.

This is going to be fun to write for.
