But now everything's on hold so I can find this emerald thing and stop an evil sorceress from taking over a world I hadn't even heard about 'til today." DG frowns, the mere idea of it still not really agreeing with her. "But anyway... in general? Before this? I never really made plans.

She scratched at her cheek, thoughtfully, leaving a black smudge. "Yeah, I think not needin' to make plans might be th' apex of human complacency. Which ain't a bad thin' at all. I'd give my...fourth best coffee cup f'r a bit of complacency. Travelin' sounds nice."

DG smiles a bit, pointing at the smudge. "You got black on you," she says. "What do you need to make plans for? Or... just... what's bothering you?"

She considered wiping at it with her sleeve. Then she decided against it. "Thank y' for pointin' it out. I'll wash it off later."

"I had plans to go to sleep tonight, but then I thought, hey, I think Victor is in need of some food." B|

Hug-cling-attach! Victor had missed Spider. If, you know, the reader couldn't tell from narration.

"I ate t'day."

"Planning too far ahead'll just drive you nuts." Terry shrugged. "I plan what I need to, but that's about all."

A grin for the Terry-man! "What was th' last thin' y' planned?"

"Last plan I made was to drag a friend out of a funk. Last plan I didn't make was for my birthday."
