It was the dead of night, but Colonel Roy mustang was still awake in his hotel room, sitting on the edge of his bed with a notebook, a pen, and his head starting to hurt while trying to make sense of everything he had seen and heard since he had arrived in Paixao. There really wasn't much he could piece together. Not yet. He had written down what one person had told him over the electronic journal, that somehow, this place was some gigantic castle. For some reason, he couldn't stop looking back at that.

And then, suddenly, lightning flashed close by. No, it wasn't lightning, or any lightning that Roy had ever seen or even expected to be physically possible. He rushed over to his window with his hand over his eyes. It was so bright, he was practically blinded! Even so, he could see when it had struck. City Hall. "Damnit!"

He didn't wait for his sight to return after such a bright flash. He knew it couldn't be natural. The city was covered by a dome. Roy absentmindedly stuffed the notebook in his pocket and dug out his special gloves, shoving them onto his hands has he ran out of the hotel and ran towards City Hall.

Xion was not in a particularly good state of mind.

When Roxas had gotten his memories back, it had gone... poorly. Now, half the people who'd come in were now unconscious, she didn't know where Namine had gotten to, and she only had a few potions in her pockets. Hands shaking, she gave one to Riku (who was closest thanks to his efforts to protect her from the blast) before moving over Roxas and desperately trying to help her friend.

Roy finally made it to the scene and was surprised that it seemed to involve only a group of kids. Most were lying motionless on the ground, though there was a younger looking girl handing out bottles of...something. He ran over to her and grabbed her arm.

"What the hell happened here?!"

[whodoyousee]

Oh, that was a bad idea, Roy.

Xion hadn't noticed him come in, too overwhelmed with everything in pieces around her, trying to help her friends and barely stemming off panic. The introduction of a new variable made that tenuous control snap.

She jerked her arm out of Roy's grasp, Keyblade summoned to her hand and the end pressed against his neck as she pointedly moved herself between him and Roxas. Though he could only see the hood covering the upper half of her face, her heavy and rapid breathing was probably enough to show her terror.

"Who are you?" she demanded, voice shaking ever so slightly but the Keyblade staying steady.

[snapkaboom]

Roy took a step back and held up his hands defensively. He certainly hadn't expected a giant key thing to suddenly appear in this kid's hand, but he's ask about that later.

"I'm Colonel Roy Mustang. I don't want to hurt you or your friends." He glanced around. Were they her friends, or had they all fought each other? He was sure he'd find out in a moment or so. "I just want to help. Has anyone called an ambulance?"

[whodoyousee]

Xion didn't lower the Keyblade, but she was back to working at calming herself down. Her friends needed help, and she'd need to be able to help them. She took a deep breath, looking back at Roxas before back at Roy. He was offering to help, but she didn't quite trust him yet.

"Ambulance?" She... sort of knew that was. "I don't think there... are any."

[snapkaboom]

"I'm sure I saw a hospital on the map. What kind of hospital doesn't have an ambulance?!" That would make it a lot harder to get these kids to the proper care. Roy looked around again. If the right materials were nearby, he could transmute something to carry everyone in, but even then, he didn't have anything to draw a transmutation circle, and he had a feeling that this kid didn't have enough physical strength to help pull something like that.

He looked down at the green bottles she was holding. "Is that some sort of medicine? Do you have enough to help everyone?"

[whodoyousee]

Xion looked at the potion she was still holding and nodded. "It's supposed to heal you if you drink it, but I don't think it's enough. I gave one to Riku and he didn't wake up... this is the last one I have." And she wasn't very good at magic, or she'd true to use Cure instead. Maybe she could try anyway. It couldn't hurt... right?

[snapkaboom]

Roy gazed at the green bottle suspiciously. To him, it looked more like it would poison someone. Surly, this girl was old enough to know not to buy things from suspicious people?

"It doesn't look like it's doing anything." Roy walked towards the unconscious Riku and knelt down to pick him up. "Let's just get everyone out of the middle of the street for now. I'll look for someone to help carry them to a hospital."

Bad idea part 2 there.

Xion didn't know what to make of this person- he said he wasn't trying to hurt them, but she was finding that people often said one thing and did another. And since these were her friends, she was being extra careful. So when Roy tried to move Riku, Xion went over, Keyblade still out and frowning.

"We can't take them to a hospital. Or... probably anything the city runs." Most, if not all, of this place was controlled by the Organization... and if Saix didn't already know what had happened here, she didn't want him to find out.
