Jamie frowns a bit at that!
But nods.
"Yeah. I guess..."

Re: {Nexus} Good League of Good LXXVII: Earth Vampires DON'T Sparkle!
"Sorry, but that's probably going to be the way it is.
Still want me to call them?"

Nurse Piper appears and begins checking Renetta and the baby over to make sure they're both okay.

Ooooh. That's neat. Brinika's ears twitch. I met another catperson once. Her name was Decker. Butler says she's his wife.
[GLoG Exit]
Enough of this silliness, Reelshka declares. I don't think you can be of any help though, Jamie. We need someone to track down an intruder. She decides not to mention that said intruder kidnapped Jamie's father.

Since he has done here all he knows he leaves.
"Don't forget. You will need a few days or the wound will open again. I will come later again."
And so he heads for the main Room

"Yup! I know Decker. I don't think she likes me much, though."

He points to some faint trails passing through the wood, marked with blazes on the tree trunks, and one-cactus gaps in the wall!
And then of course there's the main entrance. It's on the other side of camp though.
[The Cactus Fence]
She tilts her head, looking in the direction he is pointing and making note of a trail she hadn't seen before. She never notices these things!
"SO WHY WOULD SOMEONE TRY TO ATTACK THIS PLACE?" she echoes confusedly, returning her gaze to the gardener, "WHERE AM I?"

[Infirmary]
"No, I don't want to lie down." Renetta already feels helpless enough. Lying down isn't going to help that one bit. She will let Nurse Piper look her over, however. There doesn't appear to be anything wrong with her or the baby.
-
Re: {Nexus} Good League of Good LXXVII: Earth Vampires DON'T Sparkle!
Infirmary
Nurse Piper conducts most of the examination with Renetta sitting up. "You appear to be in perfect health, but you to lie down so I can listen to the baby's heartbeat." The ghost nurse has a stethoscope for this. There may well be more advanced equipment in the infirmary, but if so, Nurse Piper has not been trained in its use.
-
Re: {Nexus} Good League of Good LXXVII: Earth Vampires DON'T Sparkle!
[Infirmary]
Renetta nods and reluctantly moves onto the bed. Why were they worrying about her? They should be worrying about Waterstrider, or anybody else. Nothing happened to her.
-
Re: {Nexus} Good League of Good LXXVII: Earth Vampires DON'T Sparkle!
[Infirmary]
Renetta and Nurse Piper will see Sophie, pulling her shirt over a thick bandage. What's wrong? He asks looking at the elf and the ghost.
-
Re: {Nexus} Good League of Good LXXVII: Earth Vampires DON'T Sparkle!
Infirmary
Because Waterstrider isn't in the Infirmary! At least that's Nurse Piper's excuse. HT's excuse is that she has memory fail.
"I'm going to go and check his hut," Brand says. "That's probably where he and Lily are right now." In a burst of retconjuration, he said this as soon as Renetta was safely in the infirmary and then left.
Back in the present: Baby heartbeat! Nurse Piper listens for a few moments, then... smiles? She never smiles! "Everything sounds normal. Would you like to listen?"
"Hopefully, nothing's wrong with Renetta," Pansy says. "Waterstrider lost a paw though." :smallfrown:
"It was a pumpkin monster who did it," Tito says.
-
Re: {Nexus} Good League of Good LXXVII: Earth Vampires DON'T Sparkle!
[Infirmary]
Sophie blinks. Two attacks at the same time? Figures. A... pumpkin monster? Oh dear. Is it gone now?
-
Re: {Nexus} Good League of Good LXXVII: Earth Vampires DON'T Sparkle!
Infirmary
"Irene scared it away with her flaming sword," Tito says.
-
Re: {Nexus} Good League of Good LXXVII: Earth Vampires DON'T Sparkle!
[Infirmary]
I'm glad to hear that. Sophie sits down on the bed heavily. How's Waterstrider coping?
She decides not to tell them she just saved their father and husband from being kidnapped. He can tell them all about it if he wants to.
-
Re: {Nexus} Good League of Good LXXVII: Earth Vampires DON'T Sparkle!
[Infirmary]
Renetta blinks at Nurse Piper then looks down at her stomach. "I... Yes. I'd like to." And then, presumably, the ghost lets her listen. She listens with silent awe as she hears the tiny heartbeat. She puts her hands on her stomach. A small smile turns up the corners of her lips.
-
Re: {Nexus} Good League of Good LXXVII: Earth Vampires DON'T Sparkle!
Infirmary
Pansy, the only other undeadtimed character in the room (to my knowledge) who has experienced pregnancy, gets a little teary eyed seeing Renetta's reaction.
Tito, who thinks the stuff going on with Renetta is pretty boring, has gone to talk to Sophie. "Mr Rae tried to make him better and give him a blue paw, but it just scared him so Waterstrider ran away and carried Lily with him. But he won't hurt her."
-
Re: {Nexus} Good League of Good LXXVII: Earth Vampires DON'T Sparkle!
[Infirmary]
Sophie has never been pregnant, no. Being chosen by the Heralds to inherit the Earth rather interfered with her plans to get married and have children.
Oh dear. She winces, reaching for the bandaged wound. I'd try to help but I don't think I'm should be going anywhere.
-
Re: {Nexus} Good League of Good LXXVII: Earth Vampires DON'T Sparkle!
Infirmary
It's a shame there's no druid around. :smalltongue:
"How did you get hurt?" Tito asks.
-
Re: {Nexus} Good League of Good LXXVII: Earth Vampires DON'T Sparkle!
[Infirmary]
I was... fighting two bad people who came to the camp. I and some other people drove them off, but they hurt me first, Sophie says, trying to sound as matter-of-factly as possible.
-
Re: {Nexus} Good League of Good LXXVII: Earth Vampires DON'T Sparkle!
Infirmary
Tito slumps. "It's not fair. It's supposed to be safe here." :smallfrown:
-
Re: {Nexus} Good League of Good LXXVII: Earth Vampires DON'T Sparkle!
[Infirmary]
Sophie looks down. It's so sad to see a child have his sense of security shaken. All by some... monsters and scumbags looking for easy prey. Cowards, every one of them, coming after children and noncombatants.
I know. A place full of peaceful people is always tempting for monsters. But there will always be someone here to protect those who can't defend themselves.
-
Re: {Nexus} Good League of Good LXXVII: Earth Vampires DON'T Sparkle!
Infirmary
Tito smiles. "Like Irene. I wish I had a flaming sword too!"
-
Re: {Nexus} Good League of Good LXXVII: Earth Vampires DON'T Sparkle!
[Infirmary]
Sophie smiles back.
Who knows, maybe you will one day. You're still young and this world is full of possibilities.

"You're at the Good League of Good," he says with a smile, and a bit of a formal bow. "Unfortunatly, that means those who are Evil tend to be inclined to attack here..."

Re: {Nexus} Good League of Good LXXVII: Earth Vampires DON'T Sparkle!
[The Cactus Fence]
"THAT DOESN'T SEEM VERY POLITE." the ghoul responds with a frown. Evil people were always attacking things around here. Couldn't they just deal with their issues in a healthy manner, like writing lists, playing soothing music, or playing games to relieve stress like normal people?
Silly evil people.

Pathfinder's Hut
When the paw is gone, the Wolfen begins licking at the wound for a while, cleaning it. Even though it reopens some of the scabs, he doesn't stop until much of the burned part other than the stump itself is gone. He doesn't make much noise during this, and once finished he curls up around Lily, resting his head on Renetta's pillow and watching the door, as if he's waiting for her to return.

Re: {Nexus} Good League of Good LXXVII: Earth Vampires DON'T Sparkle!
Pathfinder's Hut
Brand enters the hut and sees Waterstrider and Lily. "Hi Daddy," Lily says, sleepily snuggled with Waterstrider.
"Hey there Lily-bily," Brand says. Despite his trust in Waterstrider, he's very relieved to see that the two are safe. But Waterstrider was still injured, still in an animal mind. "Waterstrider, will you and Lily be safe here?" he asks, looking into the wolf's eyes.
