ACTION Enchanted Forest / Spa Time
WHEN Upon reaching the system (Jan. 4) to leaving it (Jan. 31)

[ It's another day, another planet for the Drift Fleet to explore. Whether it be relaxing in the landing field, checking out the spa (and subsequently getting urged to enter the woods), or taking on the Enchanted Forest's game, there's enough to do for stir-crazy Fleet members.

Just remember one thing: make it look good. ]

[ She's got shorter legs than he does, he'll have to slow up a bit for that. ]

I'm more little than you are harmless, by far.

[ Like she's one to talk about being harmless. ]

[heresyandlace]

[yeah, for real. that makes him laugh.]

I haven't seriously harmed a single soul since I've been here.

[and no, he is absolutely not counting shooting his friend in the head. that was totally different.]

[amarant]

I remember differently.

[ She remembers that. Pepperidge Farm remembers. ]

[heresyandlace]

Still. Your tally is higher.

[if we really want to get into particulars.]

[amarant]

I think we're even, actually.

[heresyandlace]

Oh? And how do you figure that?

[amarant]

You killed one, I killed one. Simple.

[heresyandlace]

[a light little laugh, like she proved his point simply by trying to make the argument. which... yeah, she actually kind of did.]

Mine came back.

And I also don't have attempted murder on my record, in addition to that.

[amarant]

Mine attacked me first.

[ Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm? ]

[heresyandlace]

[ha ha ha...]

Oh, you're going to add lying to your list of sins now?

[amarant]

I'm not lying.

[ A defiant little tilt to her head. ]

[heresyandlace]

I didn't attack you.

...Unless there is someone else you assaulted here?

[amarant]

No one else.

[ ...except for the guy she killed. ]

[heresyandlace]

Then, I stand by my claim.

[and, oh hey spooky forest. there's a sound prickling at him from the nearby underbrush, but he's doing his best to ignore its existence.]

[amarant]

[ Ah, good. Sounds in the spooky forest. And here she is with this asshole.

Like hell she's going to be all "did you hear something" and seem all scared. No way. ]

Not that it'll do you any good, so you can claim what you want.

[heresyandlace]

Pretending I attacked you won't make you any more right. Besides, I--

[and he stops when, yes, there is definitely something moving around in the trees right nearby. bright flickers of red and orange through the dense underbrush, heading slowly their way.]

[amarant]

[ Normally, she'd get on his case about stopping mid-sentence, but she saw that too. ]

Did you bring someone else with you?

[heresyandlace]

Not on purpose.

[said very calmly. as he just kind of... sliiiides a step backward. casual but deliberate.

...and yeah, that's definitely fire. it's beginning to lick up through the branches, brighter and hungrier. and, even better, there seems to be a figure marching through the middle of it. a woman's voice booms out from the trees.]

--Tek!

[amarant]

...not on--

[ Okay maybe the fire is the first thing to pay attention to right now. ]

What did you do!?

[heresyandlace]

I did absolutely nothing.

[to Emblica, obviously, but he's looking at the woman marching through the forest at him while he says it. the sentiment might be aimed at her as well.

also, the woman seems to be on fire... but not burning up. she's causing the flames, they're radiating from her and setting the greenery around her ablaze. branches pop and sizzle as the water inside is superheated.

her hair and eyes match the flames in appearance, and as soon as the branches around her clear enough for her to do so, she's... drawing her sword.]

[amarant]

I really doubt that.

[ Taking a small step back, even though it's not like the woman could kill her.

She just doesn't really enjoy being set on fire. ]
