[The locket screen shows a blonde with slightly mussed hair and a skinned chin. Her eyes are wider than they normally are and it's obvious to anyone who's seen panic that she's trying to fight back a little of it right now. She also has her back to a door, one that she seems to be trying to keep closed.]

Okay. Okay. Um, I did not sign up for this, okay? Okay. There are... things out there. It ate one of the little flying guys. Then there were more and then it got bigger and then...

[Then she found her leg being caught and pulled and she'd tripped and bumped her chin and kicked at it until her shoe fell off and she was freed. And now she needed a new shoe.]

It took my shoe.

[This is very important, guys. She now only has one shoe and can't run properly.]

I don't suppose anyone has a... thing that can make them go away, do they? Maybe a really bright flashlight? Or... crap, I don't know. Anything?

Comments

[overdraws]

Dogs. [ This girl seems to be outside, her own hair in disarray. ] They're scared of dogs. Where are you, we'll come find you.

[ She turns the locket to give a glimpse of a huge shaggy dog, chilling out next to her feet. ] So far, he's the only thing I've found that works.

[isitapony]

Dogs? Seriously?

[Yes, that's a little doubt in her voice, Allison. She's seen the little shadowy things gnaw on furniture and try to gnaw on her and it's a little difficult to wrap her head around the fact that a dog might be the answer.

She's new. Give her time.]

I'm... ah, in the castle? Caer... Scima?

[That was right, right? Yes, totally right. Because it had sounded like 'schemer' to her when she'd heard it.]

[overdraws]

[ Crap. ] That's still a day's travel, even with the rings. I got this one from the houndmasters in Caer Glaem, they've got to have something like it where you are. Unless you think you can hold out?

[isitapony]

What the hell is a houndmaster? And how am I supposed to get a hold of them stuck in a-- where the hell am I?

[She'd run into the nearest room without checking to see what it was. She was in... someone else's room. Oops?]

I really hope the people around here aren't up to killing someone for being in their room without permission.

[In her defense, it was unlocked.]

[overdraws]

Okay, just... be calm. Did you just get here?

[voice]

[chaoticwhimsy]

At least your foot wasn't still in it?

[Lumina can't help but chuckle softly.]

[isitapony]

Was that supposed to be funny? Because I'll let you in on a little secret...

It wasn't.

[Scowl.]

[chaoticwhimsy]

Hey, you have to find the positive side of things!

[Still, she should probably try to help.]

I might know a trick that'll at least let you get away from them.

[isitapony]

If it involves losing a body part, I'm going to preemptively stop you right there.

[This girl had the weirdest sense of humor...]

[chaoticwhimsy]

Hey! Would I suggest that? [The most innocent tone of voice.]

[enthraller]

[clearly there is one important question that needs to be asked here:]

What's a flashlight?

[it certainly sounds like the sort of weapon one would use again shadow monster things. yeah, that'd be nice to have right about now.]

[isitapony]

... Seriously? I mean, I know I haven't seen any around, but I figured I was just snooping in the wrong broom closets. They seriously don't have flashlights here?

[If she'd bothered to think about it, she hadn't seen anything tech based since she'd gotten here.]

Think of a... lantern? Candle? Only in a metal tube and a thousand times brighter.

[enthraller]

[oh wow that does sound like a useful thing to have in general.]

Is it a weapon?

[isitapony]

N..o? It just makes light. Are you from here? Like, originally?

[Because that would explain it.]

[enthraller]

[this is the face of a man unsure of whether or not he's supposed to be offended.]

No, I'm not. Do you really think the things that exist in your world must exist in all others?

[infame]

[did someone say dogs. ]

They're quite a nuisance, I've noticed.

video.

[isitapony]

Yeah? Well, you had any of them try to eat you yet?

[There were two out there now, both banging on the door until she heard quiet. Then the banging returned, heavier than before and she pressed harder against it.]

video.

[infame]

No. They took one look at me and scattered in the opposite direction. I had heard they don't like dogs, so that probably explains why.

[A beat. ]

They sound quite aggravated with you.

[isitapony]

Is that some kind of fairy land joke about you being a dog? Because it was a little weak.

[Frown.]

They don't get to be aggravated. I get to be aggravated. I'm the one minus a shoe.

[infame]

Not exactly a dog. A werewolf.

[Up goes an eyebrow.]

They're not partial to reason, as I'm sure you've noticed. Do you need help?

[all7seas]

Took your shoe, did it? There's only one thing to do, love. Sacrifice the other.

[Sage advice from a man skilled at running away.]

video

[isitapony]

No shoes is not better than one shoe.

[Two shoes would be ideal, and she was working on how to get hers back.]

video

[all7seas]

Is TOO better, Missy McStagger! Do you want to turn an ankle?

Three shoes would be best. Two to run in, one to hurl back at your enemy.

video

[isitapony]

... turn an ankle? Do I look like I'm wearing stilettos? Sneakers, tall, dark, and grubby. And if we're talking artillery, I think I'd prefer something a little more terrifying than a Nike.

[all7seas]

[The only Nike Jack knows of was the Greek one.]

Sneaky, are you? I'd lend you my pistol, but it's drunk and has lost me.


....


I'm drunk and I've lost it. Lost it to the buggering cow.
