[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?

Try not to take it personally. I don't trust anyone that hasn't passed the requisite tests.

[But that little bit of information does come in handy.]

Their names? Like what, Rumpelstiltskin?

[Nope, she could still hear it trying to get in.]

Jack? Benny? Gizmo?

[chaoticwhimsy]

They're called Lawkamercyme. [It takes Lumina three tries to pronounce it right.]

That's what the imps were shouting anyway.

[isitapony]

... Really? That's... odd.

[It wasn't even a name. But then, neither was Rumpelstiltskin, and yet here she was, in fairy land.]

And you just yell it at them and they go away?

[chaoticwhimsy]

Well they don't leave. They just kind of...back off.

[isitapony]

Oh.

[That was vaguely disappointing. She'd been hoping for an explosion or something that sent them running. But backing off was useful.]

How'd you figure that one out?

[chaoticwhimsy]

I saw a bunch of the locals doing it earlier. It let them get out of the room they were trapped in.

[Lumina didn't help, mind you.]

[isitapony]

[That was... actually helpful information. Thanks, Lumina.]

Yeah, well, great. Now I have something that should keep them from gnawing on me for at least a minute. Thanks.

[She might have sounded a bit sarcastic, but it was only because she was stressed.]

[chaoticwhimsy]

[Lumina can roll with sarcasm when she feels like it.]

Yup. Try not to get eaten!

[isitapony]

Trust me, that's at the top of my list at the moment.

[Her shoe had failed in that respect. Poor shoe.]
