[Seeing the alarmed look on Kairi's face, Beverly seeks to reassure her.] A very sweet dragon! They didn't try to hurt me... in fact they were very careful to make me feel safe.

[She pauses.]

Then again if they already knew me from the fleet... but I don't know anyone who can change into a dragon. I don't think. But of course, probably not the best idea to go announcing to a bunch of strangers that you're a dragon, is it?

[destinyembrace]

Then it definitely wasn't a monster of some sort. That's a relief.

[But it certainly did give her pause. The wildlife they'd seen so far was less than friendly. It seemed out of place that a dragon from this forest, of all things, would try and make her feel safe.]

Mm, probably not. Some people in the fleet might not react well to that.

[She goes to say something else, but over Beverly's shoulder she sees... something move. Her brow puckers as she steps back, shoulders tense.]

Something is here.

[dancingmd]

[Beverly turns around slowly, phaser at the ready. At first, she doesn't see anything but then - there! A movement to their right. It looks like... one of the plants is moving towards them, blocking their path back the way they came. Beverly lowers her voice to a barely audible whisper as she speaks.]

Maybe if we move really slowly...

[destinyembrace]

[Kairi gives a barely visible nod, slowly stepping over to their left. She forces her breathing to be slow and even, knowing panic will not help here.

Something moves behind her. Kairi cranes her head around, and she gasps when she sees a plant snaking a vine out towards them. She shuffles back, waving at Beverly to get her attention. Moving slowly might not be an option in a moment.]

[dancingmd]

[Hearing Kairi's gasp, Beverly looks around to see the vine moving in their direction. She takes Kairi by the wrist, but keeps her eyes on the forest.]

How fast can you run?

[destinyembrace]

Pretty fast, I can keep up. [She's raced with Sora and Riku enough. They always won, but she learned to get fast enough not to be terribly behind.

Gonna start backing up now...]

[dancingmd]

Good. If I tell you to run, run. I'll be right behind you.

[Beverly joins her in backing up. More vines are coming towards them, seemingly trying to herd them in a certain direction. Unfortunately, that direction is away from where they need to go to get back to the shuttle. Beverly aims her gun at the nearest vine, but when she tries to shoot, nothing happens.]

Damn. [She casts an apologetic glance at Kairi for cursing.] Whatever is interfering with the tricorder must be jamming the gun as well.

[destinyembrace]

[Kairi shakes her head, not minding the cursing. Honestly, this situation sort of calls for it. If she were the type, she'd be swearing up a storm by now.

At any rate, her stomach feels like it plummets when the gun doesn't go off. Now they were essentially defenseless.]

Time to run?

[dancingmd]

[One of the vines whips put, lashing at Beverly's knees, though she jumps back in time to avoid getting hit. She nods at Kairi in agreement.]

Time to run! Try to turn uphill as soon as they'll allow us.
