>>5956972>>5957068>>5957171>>5957398With the frail girl in your arms, you and your partner rush back towards the Tower. Usually you wouldn't help out a girl that tried to hurt you several times, but you need the location of that staff ASAP right now! Plus, she never really... succeeded in even putting a scratch on you, without her minions she's probably harmless... Probably...
Using the cloak of night and your partner's... generous proportions to your advantage, you squeeze Anis in between yourself and your partner and then activate your partner's plugsuit inventory feature, which can suck up any item, or in this case people, into a sort of 4D pocket. Some parts of her body do end up sticking out of the suit, but using your own body you can hide the anomalies pretty well and pass through the guards at the Tower's gates without issue.
As soon as you enter the elevator, you breathe a sigh of relief and pull out Anis from the plugsuit's pocket before she runs out of oxygen. You rise up to your bedroom floor and toss her into your bed, the better lighting in your room allowing you to see the details of her appearence more clearly. Her clothes are tattered and torn, the tips of her fingers are covered in a blueish tint, and she's covered with bandaged spots from head to toe.
>"Quick Storkie, do you remember the girl scout first aid training??">"Uhh... Not really, no...">"Poop! Uh... I think you're supposed to... remove the clothes after you check she's breathing... I think? Well she's definitely breathing at least so that's good..."You can't even feel embarassement as your partner removes the torn up shirt and skirt from her body, considering they're barely covering anything with all that wear and tear anyways. Your suit's heating system doesn't allow you to feel the true temperature of this town firsthand, but if her fingers are going blue you have to assume it must be quite cold out there, you grab the blanket and wrap it around her bare body, is that really enough?
>"Storkie... Maybe we should ask for some help? We're not exactly qualified..."That could be a good idea, if it weren't for the fact that this girl could know the location the one thing that could allow that Icicle Queen chick to open a hole to other realities (or whatever she's trying to do, honestly you're still not sure if you buy her story...). If she hid it somewhere on purpose, you doubt they'll use gentle means to get the info out of her, and much less if she resists them.
What will you do?
>Tell the queen about Anis and the staff (if she's even awake at this hour)>Tell the queen about the encounter with the gang (w/o bringing up Anis)>Sleep it off and see if she is better in the morning>Stay awake until she wakes up>Write in
