Gingerbread Coffin [Action/Video]

[restlessdevil.livejournal.com]

[Zenobia had just wanted to take another swim, but after avoiding a wildcard effect for so long, she's been hit with a doozy. All of her limbs have been replaced with copies of the wing on her shoulder, and it takes much effort and luck for her to get back to the beach. There is a flurry of seven wings as she tries to propel her way forward, but she's not getting very far for her efforts. The vine is recording the whole thing.]

Hey, can anyone hear me? The water's cursed me. I'm kinda in a spot, here!

Hmm... that's even harder than usual...

I wonder if I can use this stuff to make a thing that responds to brain impulses... Though I don't really know how it works...

[restlessdevil.livejournal.com]

Yeah. It's a huge pain.

Huh, that sounds kind of scary, actually.

[notvitiligo.livejournal.com]

Really? Why?

[Silly Zenobia, science isn't scary!]

[restlessdevil.livejournal.com]

I don't know, it sounds like Psi ETHER. Anything that messes with the mind makes me a little uneasy.

[notvitiligo.livejournal.com]

[snort] It's not some kind of weird New Age thing. It's just a sensor that picks up certain kinds of thinking. So like you can think about a place and it'll do one thing, or an action and it'd do something else. No messing with your brain itself, just picking up what you're thinking about.

Actually, that might be kind of difficult anyway, because I wouldn't have a way for it to know what thoughts to ignore. Darn it.

W-well, I wouldn't want to be too much trouble for you, and that sounds pretty complicated.

I appreciate just having someone with me during this.

[notvitiligo.livejournal.com]

Sorry I can't help you out more. Uh, want me to get you anything?

[restlessdevil.livejournal.com]

You're doing plenty for me.

Um, something cold to drink would be nice. [She can live without water, but a cool drink sure would feel nice right about now.]

[While she would normally go for something a little more "natural," she doesn't exactly want to abandon Zenobia, either, so... magic dirt again!]

At least you picked a convenient place to be stranded...

hmm... [Now, how to get the liquid refreshment from the container into the Zenobia? Perhaps... (http://i208.photobucket.com/albums/bb307/whooper-mse/MSE%20Posts/beer-hat.jpg)]

[Nah, just kidding, she forms a cupholder in the chair and adds a long straw. (Which decorates itself with heart-shaped loops, because the Gardens insist on frivolity.)]

Thanks, Jessica. [Zenobia smiles, and then, after a couple of tries, is able to clamp on to the straw with her lips.] Mmmm...
