[Dot in the Garden. Right. Right... Whatever. She's ignored the cat, the scroll. Has found her clothes and is yanking into them furiously, completely oblivious to the vine, not that she has any damn modesty in the first place.]

Fuck this. [She turns her head, looking around herself with narrowed eyes.] Jacob! This isn't funny! And what the hell is

action; never too soon to antagonize a character!!

[kneebruises]

[ Sasha didn't sleep. She isn't letting go of old habits and this place seems so nice and peaceful so it only makes her more paranoid. She's wandering around the Gardens, trying to look for something, anything, that seems strange but it's all... Flowers and sunshine.

She turns her head when she hears cussing. It's the first time she has heard anything of the sort since she's been there. She blinks and watches the monster from a distance, keeping her place. She is carefully placed near a tree, so she hides behind it as she watches Dot, curiously, frowning slightly. ]

action;

[dia_f]

[Dot goes through quite a few angry, huffy motions. From kicking flowers, to punching trees, to flipping the mirror off. Eventually though, she gets it in her head that she's going to find the fucking Queen and rip her head from her neck.

What she finds instead is Sasha.]

What the fuck are you looking at?

action;

[kneebruises]

[ Sasha thought she was at least somewhat well hidden, but for a Garden, this place was a goddamn joke with its pretty trees and vibrant colours. How is a person supposed to hide when all around her there are trees, and birds, and flowers and, Christ, too many colours.

So she jumps when the aggressive thing nearly spits at her, all jittery and wary and nervous. She looks down, not facing Dot. ]

N-Nothing! I'm sorry!

action;

[dia_f]

[Dot lifts her eyebrows. That was entirely too easy. She's been living with things a hell of a lot nastier than herself for a while, they all argued back with her. Or blew her off. Or shrieked and tried to kill her. Whatever.

She puts her hands in her pockets and ambles closer, tilting her head to look at the tiny little thing.]

That's why you're standin' here with your mouth hangin' open then? Real fucking classy.

action forever!!;

[kneebruises]

[ Too fucking close.

And yet, all that Sasha does is press her back against the tree as if wanting to disappear within it, scratching at her wrists compulsively.

And when she tilts her head, Sasha glances away, eyes never really focusing on anything, just trying not to look at Dot. ]

Yes-- I mean, no, I was just, passing by, I didn't mean to, stare. I'm sorry.

[dia_f]

[Dot gives a derisive snort. She really does like that you're scared, little girl, and she smiles. The expression is not friendly at all, despite the round shape of her face and her button nose.]

Where you headed?

[kneebruises]

[ If she was looking at Dot, she would have recognized that smirk; it's a very monster thing to do. ]

I don't, hum. [ A pause. She shakes her head a little aimlessly, rubs her forehead in distress. ] I don't know. I'm, lost, I'm not from here-- we, I-- nobody is, I think. [ Can you hear the heartbeat, fast like a panicked rat's? ]

[dia_f]

[She can, little Sasha. All her senses run at full capacity, not an ounce of defect with this much regenerative power and she ambles right up into Sasha's face.]

Lost in the woods sounds dangerous.

[She knew a forest spirit, knew the kinds of things he did to those who strayed off the path. Doza liked to play mind games, convince the wanderers to despair and to suicide. Dot isn't so patient. She just goes straight to the wolf.]

[kneebruises]

[ She doesn't move from her place, but she sure wishes she could make her legs walk out of there. Instead, she shifts uncomfortably at the closing distance, resting her hands against her chest and scratching at her wrists. She doesn't answer, just nods a little pathetically and looks to the left, to the right, not really looking at anything, just wanting to get the hell out f there. ]
