AHHHHHHHHHHHHH! Oh god, oh god... it hurts.

You bitch, I'll kill you. Ahhh, I'm going to kill you.

I can't- I can't- I just have to pull-

AGH! Damn it!

Somebody, please, oh god it hurts so bad. Please not again, please-

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ooc: Long story short, Cain pushed the button and Sam got cursed with a Saw trap. He was put in one a few years ago when he first got to the City by the girl from Saw. He thinks she's back and is doing this again. Voice for replies, action for Rosella.]

What's--why is--no, no, start with where you are--where are you? Right now, where are you, I'm coming, I promise, just tell me where you are!

I don't- I don't know. Ng. It's a, a big empty room. I think, I think it's one of those buildings near the Warehouse and it-

AHHHHHHHHHHHH!!

SAM!

[And out the door she runs, to search every single building she comes across until she finds him.]

[Hissing through his teeth as he tries not to scream, but he can't help it. You can probably hear him screaming from a ways away.]

[The screaming does help her with tracking him down, but it's still not a very precise way of finding him, so she still has to search for a while before she manages to track him down and hurl herself in the appropriate door.]

Sam? Sam, are you in here, are you--answer me, Sam!

[Sam is trying to pull the chain that will release the lever, but each time it drives everything deeper into his body.]

Rosella! Rosella I'm here!!

[It's a gruesome sight that meets her eyes as she stands in the doorway, made horrifying in two distinct ways--that there in the room sits some kind of hideous machine, and that there sits Sam, trapped in its clutches. It takes everything she has to choke back the wave of nausea that washes over her as she takes in the scene.]

Sam, I--oh, no, no, nononono, what is--no, no, Sam--!

[She jerks forward a step, obviously torn between her frantic desire to save Sam and her utter revulsion at the contraption he's in.]

[Sam was clenching his jaw, taking short, fast breaths to keep from crying out in pain. He was bleeding all over and worried that she would be upset if she saw him.]

R-rosella. Ngh. The level. H-have to pull the lever up-p there.

[Oh, she was already well beyond upset, all right. But once Sam managed to draw her attention to the way the mechanism worked, she quickly snapped out of her panic and focused all her attention on pulling the lever. Her first instinct was to move for the chain attached to it, but she instantly halted when she realized that the chain was also connected to whatever mechanism was controlling the knives and needles. If she pulled it, she realized, it'd only hurt Sam worse.

All right. She'd have to find another way to get the lever pulled.]

Just--just hold on, I'll get it, just hold on a little longer, please...

N-not going anywhere, I promise.

[The lever was positioned too high to reach on her own, even if she jumped for it--which, of course, was the insidious part of the trap, that one had to use to the chain to reach it. ...Or did one? No, all she really needed was something else to pull to reach it, and she had a desperate hope that she knew exactly what that something else could be.

Now, if she could only concentrate for long enough, with Sam sitting and bleeding right there next to her...]

All right. I--I think I have an idea.

[And out came the magic rope. Squeezing her eyes shut, she forced herself to concentrate, willing this to work--and then quickly opened her eyes and commanded the rope to loop fast around the lever, before any other thoughts could crowd into her mind.]

[Sam's eyes were closed tight as he tried to keep from screaming, but when she said she had an idea, he opened them, to make sure she wasn't going to hurt herself to save him.]

That, that just... might... work.

[As soon as it looked like the rope was tight around the lever, so she wouldn't have to hook it again, she grabbed hold and yanked as hard as she could, hoping Sam had been right about how to disengage the mechanism.]

[Sam let out a sharp cry as the blades and needles were pulled out of his body before he collapsed on the floor.]

Sam!

[In retrospect, maybe pulling the lever as hard as she could hadn't been the best of ideas. Then again, going slow might've been even worse--but none of it mattered, anyway, because she was much too busy diving to try to catch Sam. She missed by a split-second, but still ended up kneeling on the floor next to him, covering her mouth and trying not to cry.]

We've--we've got to get you--call someone--a doctor, the hospital, something--

[Sam curled up into a little ball, biting back whimpers of pain.]

Hospital would be good.

I don't think I can carry you all that way--

[Though she would if she had to. But moving Sam at the moment really didn't look like the best of ideas, and she was afraid to hurt him any more than he already was. Which left two options, really: calling for someone else to help, or taking a chance on teleporting them there, and hoping it didn't drop them in the ocean instead.]

Go... go get the car.

[Sam curled up even more into a ball, unable to ignore the pain.]

I--the car?! I can't drive the--I don't know how, I can't!

I can't- I can't walk, Rosella...

I'll--I'll call someone. Something, I'll get help, I can't just leave you here and go running off--I can't, I'll use magic before I leave you here like that!
