Dungeon Residential Camps, Somewhere, Wednesday, Day Two of Two

[not_a_whiner]

At Fandom, the sun reached its highest point in the sky. Down (or was it up?) here in the dungeon, a next day broke, each hour occupying the space of only half. It was only noticeable to those with keen senses, or those who might've kept an eye on the fireplaces: the figurines had switched places again as night changed.

Well. It might have also been noticeable to anyone who'd wandered into a room with a sky and a visible sun.

Cade came in brandishing his shiny new blaster and more than a few bruises.

Stupid karking doors.

"So we're not the only people here," he announced.

Natalie had kept close to camp for the previous day or so. Doing useful stuff like keeping an eye on what their array of supplies looked like and things.

Really, she just hadn't wanted to repeat her performance of running for her life on Tuesday. But she looked up at Cade's words – and noticed the blaster while she was at it. "Really?"

Cade nodded. "I ran into the girl with the purple hair," he said. "We were stuck in a room full of really mean luggage. There's another one that has weapons if you're feeling adventurous."

Re: Camp Two - Fireplace

[whenshewasnice]

"How bad is the weapon room?" Natalie asked, because the word 'adventurous' seemed to suggest there were obstacles. Of course. "And while you're at it, how likely do you think we are to meet any dangers where a bow and some arrows would even be helpful?"

Since that was all she really knew how to use.

Cade touched the bruise on his face. "It's pretty karking bad," he admitted. "Droids run off of clocks or something. Probably not killable with arrows, and they wouldn't have done any good against karking luggage either."

Re: Camp Two - Fireplace

[whenshewasnice]

"Then I'm not going to bother with it." She supposed she could try and get a knife or something, but. It didn't seem worth it. "Anything in the luggage?"

She wasn't even about to question the concept of 'mean luggage'. She was just going to be practical.

"Nothing useful," Cade said. "I would prefer to wear something not made out of the world's karking itchiest material."

Re: Camp Two - Fireplace

[whenshewasnice]

"A lesson in investing in flannel pajamas, maybe," Natalie replied dryly. "How's your face?"

Re: Camp Two - Fireplace

[makemyownway.livejournal.com]

"Not as pretty as normal," Cade replied, "but I'll live. Of course, I haven't seen a mirror, so I might be really optimistic."

Re: Camp Two - Fireplace

[whenshewasnice]

"Let me see."

She got up to come closer and take a look. Mostly to keep herself busy than for any huge concern over his face, honestly.

Cade tilted his head into what passed for the light here. "Least we're not feeling the urge to rip each other's clothes off any more," he said. "Could be the karking shoes..."

Re: Camp Two - Fireplace

[whenshewasnice]

"I kicked one of your grandparents in the ribs with these shoes," Natalie shared, peering at his bruise. The best they could do here was check for cuts and clean those, really. "They're growing on me."

Re: Camp Two - Fireplace

[makemyownway.livejournal.com]

Cade blinked. "Wait, what?"

Re: Camp Two - Fireplace

[whenshewasnice]

Natalie sighed. "There was a version of Fandom behind one of the doors, the first day. And there was a version of Ender there."

Re: Camp Two - Fireplace

[makemyownway.livejournal.com]

"And you kicked him in the ribs?" Cade still looked confused. "I thought it'd be Ben you'd want to kick. He's really karking obnoxious."

Re: Camp Two - Fireplace

[whenshewasnice]

"Well, he was a demon or a vampire or something," she retorted, but mildly. Flatly, almost. "And tried to kill me, so I felt it was warranted."

Re: Camp Two - Fireplace

[makemyownway.livejournal.com]

Cade stared at her. "He karking what?!"

Re: Camp Two - Fireplace

[whenshewasnice]

"You heard me."

Really now, Cade? Was that such a surprising thing to hear when you were trapped in a random dungeon?

Of course people probably didn't usually sound so cavalier about it, but still.

Re: Camp Two - Fireplace

[makemyownway.livejournal.com]

Well, it wasn't really Cade's first random dungeon, but normally he knew what he'd done to be stuck in it...

"And you got away." There was a touch--more than a touch--of admiration in his tone. "He had a bit of a reputation."

Re: Camp Two - Fireplace

[whenshewasnice]

"Luck," Natalie replied dismissively. "Think whatever his paranormal affliction was screwed him over a bit." Once you got focused on biting someone's neck, you stopped paying attention to other things. "Doesn't mean I escaped unscathed, but I'm alive."

It was just that her bruises were all under her clothes.

Re: Camp Two - Fireplace

[makemyownway.livejournal.com]

Cade wasn't really good at expressing concern, so he just pressed his lips together.

"Good," he said finally when it was becoming obvious he should say something. "It'd karking suck if my grandfather killed you."

Re: Camp Two - Fireplace

[whenshewasnice]

Natalie wasn't great at receiving other people's concern, so that worked out okay. Somehow.

"Yes. Yes it would." See? "Your face is fine, by the way. It'll heal."

Re: Camp Two - Fireplace

[makemyownway.livejournal.com]

"And your stuff?" Cade asked.

Re: Camp Two - Fireplace

[whenshewasnice]

"Will also heal." It would just take a while. The bruise on her hip was pretty spectacular. "Nothing broken."

Re: Camp Two - Fireplace

[makemyownway.livejournal.com]

Cade didn't look entirely convinced but he wasn't going to push it. "If you say so."
