pleased to meet you, hope you guess my name
Characters: Lucifer Morningstar and Dairine Callahan
Rating: PG-13
Time Period: Modern Day
Location: The castle grounds, though fairly far from the castle
Relative Date: Sometime not too far into the dinosaur plot, but after this
Status: Closed
When she woke up that morning, Dairine had not planned on getting chased by dinosaurs. Quite frankly, she hadn't planned on getting chased by anything, but these things happened sometimes. Still, dinosaurs? Really? The unicorns, she thought, might actually be preferable. The small pleasure she'd gotten from identifying the particular dinosaur chasing her--Piatnitzkysaurus--wasn't nearly enough compensation for getting chased by it.
Actually, "chased" was the wrong word. There had been a little bit of chasing, but it had quickly become clear that the dinosaur was faster than Dairine. Instead, she had backed up against a tree, thrown up a makeshift shield spell in front of herself and Spot, readied a lightning bolt, and was now trying to talk to the dinosaur.
Or, really, yell. The situation definitely called for some dramatic yelling.
"Look, I don't want to kill you!" she said. "I really don't want to kill you, and not just because I went through a big dinosaur phase before the Star Wars thing. But you've got to stop trying to kill me!"
The dinosaur lunged at her, apparently unmoved by her speech.
