[Orb] GHB 20, Early Evening.

[golden_moon]

[When Selene appears in the orb, she's not quite her usual, princessy self. Several cuts can be seen on her face: cheeks, over her lips, across her nose. She seems to be ignoring them, but anyone can tell they probably hurt. Badly.]

Well, I have what I think is good news. Those stupid fucking thorns don't appear to be poisonous, either the actual thorns, or the vines they're growing out of. So we can check that off of whatever list we're keeping about what they damned things are and are not capable of.

[She sighs and reaches up to carefully rub the side of her nose, wincing just a little bit.]

The fuckers do grow right quick, however, so leave that one on the list. Strong, too.

[She shakes her head.]

So. When I'm back in town, I need to buy some pies or something. They don't have to be that good, because I had to save all three of the stupid bastards, but damn them if they didn't come running in when the damn thorns grabbed at me. Stupid fucks.

[She spits to the side, and growls.]

And since they will be jawing about it the first chance they get, the fuckers aren't lying when they say I kind of became a really, really big wolf to drag their sorry asses out of the fire.

[A huff.]

Oh. Anyone want a piece of the damn thorns? I had to dig a few out of myself after I got out of there.

[[That gets a faint smile in return. That would have been Gijs's reaction too.]]

Let me guess, they ran headfirst into the mess and nearly got their eyes clawed out?

[golden_moon]

[She touches her face.]

No, they nearly got mine clawed out. Next time, I'm just going to watch the thorns eat them.

[She sighs.]

I told them to stay back.

[yumemi_no_ou]

See, that was your mistake. You expected common sense and people who can actually perceive reality. You should have told them that there was an evildoer behind them or something dumb like that so they'd go running the other way.

[golden_moon]

My mistake was only socking the captain hard enough to wind him when I stole his sword.

[yumemi_no_ou]

[[a smile at that]] You'll know for next time.

[golden_moon]

Next time, I'll just start by braining him and go from there. In fact, I might just go back and do that now. For practice.

[yumemi_no_ou]

You'd have to get close enough to have to listen to him again to do that, wouldn't you?

[golden_moon]

All the more reason to brain him. It certainly provides a bit of incentive. Do you think they'd let me get close enough with a club, or should I improvise? I could figure something out, I'm sure.
