So everyone thank Bilbo for wrecking the ship. If you aren't too busy helping the girl on the bed, you can travel inward to a small village nestled in the woods not too far from the lake.

[Mission: Rest up.]

[fishing derek out of the lake]

[cabineyes]

[ i suppose he was forced to tag along on this adventure. well it's a nice break from team bloodthirsty. ]

[ ahah if he only knew. ]

If you truly want to attract the sirens, I suggest you scream a little.

[butgrandma]

I think we should wait for the others to get back before we get to that, don't you?

[why are you hanging around here, she doesnt want you]

[frogface]

Aren't they the type to usually seek out their prey?

[cabineyes]

[ you all want him. ]

You clearly know better than myself, so please, pray tell more.

[butgrandma]

[looks at owen. apparently derek is out cold too. manhandles him onto shore]

--Is that true? Do you know something about sirens?

[cabineyes]

[ of course he doesn't. ]

[ i hope no one has to give him the kiss of life. ]

[butgrandma]

[she volunteers as tribute]

[cabineyes]

[ do i really have to watch this. ]

[frogface]

No, I tended to zone out on the bullshit that occurred throughout my education. Bloody tragedy now that I'm dead in the middle of fantasy land.

I just figured. Our ship crashed, sirens crashed ships. Might not have been siren, maybe one will pop by hoping for easy pickings.

[shrugs and sits back on beach]

[pareidoll]

[no offense, but she's done trying to help bitches near bodies of water]

[mercyless]

[ you tell me about it sis. ]

[ belle can take care of herself. ]

[pareidoll]

[meanwhile, apparently everyone else hit the market]

[much more fun]

[mercyless]

[ doesn't look like she's having much fun to be honest. ]

[ the thought of their group growing keeps her occupied. hanging around them is becoming a greater risk by every minute. ]

[pareidoll]

[picks through a tent of goods. looks like war spoils or a bunch of junk they pulled off some dead soldiers at some point.]

[picks up a courtsword and unsheathes it]

Is it hard learning sword fighting?

[mercyless]

[ asking that doesn't take her to any happier places. flashbacks. ]

In the right circumstances it ain't.

[pareidoll]

[why is sam making that face from down the street]

What about our circumstances?

[satansuit]

[tests out a new fruit at the market. the fruit looks like someone attacked it with a can of gold spray paint.]

[and, it kind of tastes like that too. spits it out into his hand, after telling the vender that it was "very good". right.]

[sawedoff]

[watching him with the most grossed out look]
[it's probably more because of the apple eating than the spitting lets be honest. shakes his head after a second and pulls him aside]

Can I talk to you?

[satansuit]

[still cringing and holding his mouth. give him a minute.]

You're talking to me now. What's up?

[sawedoff]

It's about Clara -- dude, who eats fruit from a shady market in the middle of a forest, you probably have some weird fairy tale disease-

[youre really gross and weird. he hopes you know that]
[speaking of fairytale diseases]

[satansuit]

You think any fruit has a disease.

[no u]

What about Clara?

[sawedoff]

[looks away in annoyance. no, fruit is a disease. there's a difference]

I should have said something earlier. She didn't want me to bring it up and I respected that, but it's more serious than I thought. She's- She's drying out?

[like really how do you say that without making it sound like a menopause problem]

[satansuit]

[satansuit]

What?
