[ The ground rumbles and shakes - and then opens up. The earth swallows you whole, leaving you in front of . . . blobs . . . Oh they're a little cute, aren't they?

But the world is a bit dark, isn't it? It's a little scary . . . isn't it? ]

Ah-- wait!

[. . . he doesn't know why she tried to strangle him, but ultimately? it doesn't matter. he bolts for her as soon as she hits the ground, skidding across the dirt to crouch next to her. he reaches out to grab at the blob and literally. . . try to tear it from her head]

Hey! Someone tell a stupid joke, or something. . .!

[he can't laugh when he's genuinely panicked for someone else's life!]

[taking a breath and a moment to mentally reorganize his sigils, then pressing one into Akira's shoulder, glowing yellow-gold. he'll feel significantly stronger and hardier.]

I don't know if you'd get the ones I know.

Re: PLAYER ACTION

[purrtagonist]

[purrtagonist]

[YES. YES THEY ARE. incidentally, they're Akira's favorite form of humor]

Re: PLAYER ACTION

[legis_vox]

I don't mind giving you a hand but I'm not sure I have the right touch.

[someone stop him]

Re: PLAYER ACTION

[purrtagonist]

[swallows down another laugh so he can say, perfectly evenly]

But you're plenty armed and dangerous, and I think that's helpful enough.

Re: PLAYER ACTION

[legis_vox]

[--laughing, sudden and almost surprised]

As long as I can help get a handle on the situation...

Re: PLAYER ACTION

[howlsitgoin]

[he's trying]

Let your fear slime right off of you!
