[SOMEWHERE DEEP IN THE WOODS okay not that deep, there is a door in the ground, like a hatch. This door leads to an underground room! In this underground room there are a bunch of people, a bowl of blood and an egg timer. This egg timer just counted down to zero and started ringing.]

--what?

[athousandandnun]

[So, does the noise of the egg timer drown out the sound of approaching footsteps and labored breathing?]

[protagonistar]

[TOTALLY you know how I feel about loud noises, bb. Leaning in to examine the egg timer before finally actually hearing the footsteps.]

. . . ! [... looking over her shoulder.]

[Stopping close to the border between the light and shadows, but Esther can probably make out enough to recognize her...]

[protagonistar]

-- Schera! What're you doing here? Are you alright?

[HEADING TOWARD YOU /o/]

[athousandandnun]

[Says something, too softly to hear above the timer. Also, it's a bit odd that she isn't moving, isn't it?]

[protagonistar]

[yes but it's Schera, so I'm going to take a few more steps forward at least to try to see you properly.]

... what's happened?

[athousandandnun]

[Takes a single step closer. If you look at her feet...well, that sort of answers your question, doesn't it? :')]

[protagonistar]

[--holy crap.]

What's he done to you? Schera!

[rushing forward to help you, even though she knows it isn't sensible ;;]

[athousandandnun]

[Stepping back again :x]

...away...

[protagonistar]

... [stilling.]

Don't move away. It's alright. I can't help if I can't see you.

[athousandandnun]

You can't-

[protagonistar]

--Schera. I could never leave you like this. I won't stand by when something like this has happened to you again. Come out.

[athousandandnun]

No, I don't...want to...

[protagonistar]

... I know what's happening. It's okay.

[athousandandnun]

...don't get close.
