Dungeon Residential Camps, Somewhere, Sunday Morning

[not_a_whiner]

The dungeon had shifted again overnight.

This time it was different, however: no new corridors were formed, no new rooms were opened. One camp's corridor led into another's led into another's, and from there, a path straight forward towards the vault. It would not be hard now for the Fandomites trapped inside to meet and congregate.

Was the Toymaker making it easy on them? Possible. But not very probable.

Peter rolled his eyes, because he had a well-developed sense of irony.

He picked a random piece of fruit out of a small pile and sat down on the ground to eat it.

Natalie sat down next to him. For the moment, anyway.

"Today feels different. Don't know why."

Re: Camp Two - Main Space

"Maybe today, the rest of the dungeon will only be half as dangerous," Peter said dryly. "Or maybe today is the day we bust out of here," he added, slightly less sarcastic.

"Mm. All I know is that I feel like the other post is different today, but I haven't been out to check."

Yeah she hadn't stopped being meta just because there was trauma.

"Also our fireplace is, well..." She glanced over at it. "I doubt that's 'just because' or anything, either."

Peter followed her gaze. "Unless someone got frustrated and wrecked it in the night," he said. "I wouldn't be able to blame them, honestly."

Re: Camp Two - Main Space

"No," Natalie agreed. "I'd destroy everything around us too if I thought it would help."

But for now, she was going to assume the keys were the thing.

"How do your fighting skills work anyway?" Peter asked. "I know you're slightly beyond ordinary human-skilled..."

Re: Camp Two - Main Space

Natalie shrugged. "I just have natural reflexes for it," she said. "Something attacks, and I go into a kind of combat mode, and I just know how to move and what to do. To a certain extent covered by my stats, anyway. But I can't do it indefinitely, and I have a weak spot."

"Like an actual Achilles heel?" Peter asked, lifting an eyebrow (partly because she couldn't). "Inconvenient."

Re: Camp Two - Main Space

[whenshewasnice]

"It's the rules," she said, shrugging again. "And it's not all bad, because it's nice in other situations."

She wasn't intending to explain that.

Re: Camp Two - Main Space

[lockestheway]

She was talking to Peter Wiggin, who had never missed a single innuendo if it was paraded in front of his face.

Now both of his eyebrows were going up. "Really."

Re: Camp Two - Main Space

[whenshewasnice]

"I could force your eyebrows down, you know." But this wasn't talk of how likely they were to starve and die here, so she was inclined to let it slide. "But yes, really."

Re: Camp Two - Main Space

"That's going to be awkward in a fight," Peter said merrily.

Re: Camp Two - Main Space

[whenshewasnice]

"Hasn't been yet."

Well, she usually wore jeans so at least the backs of her knees weren't exposed for too easy massive damage. But guess Envy was just going to be overly confident, what with the habit of wearing short skirts with boots up to just below the knee.

"But I don't fight to lose, anyway."

"I'll eat my weirdly-shaped and probably not entirely healthy apple to that," Peter said. He held it up high in an exaggerated salute.

"That doesn't look like it'll keep the doctor away," Natalie judged, tilting her head. "But there are no doctors to keep away, so it'll do."

Re: Camp Two - Main Space

"Seriously, though, a weak point that happens to double as an erogenous zone?" Peter asked, taking a bite from his fruit. "Val would've had a field day with that one."

There were a lot of ways in which sex and love were going to be Natalie's downfall thoughout her life.

"But she's not here," she told him. Or really, what was little left of her candy bar. "And you seem to be doing just fine with it on your own."
