Gift wrapped around her legs, making them feel more secure. “Yeah. It’ll be ok.” Jenny repeated Ed’s words, trying to convince herself that she believed them. That didn’t work too well, so she decided to just ignore the fact that she was in a very tall, weirdly shaped structure. She was pretty good at ignoring things. She looked at Ed and smiled, although it wasn’t a particularly big one. ”Thanks.”

You don’t have to go up if you don’t want to.” “No, I want to.” Jenny didn’t want to be alone, and she didn’t want to make anyone stay behind from going to the top. Rationally, she knew that everyone would probably be fine. They wouldn’t let people go up if it wasn’t safe. That didn’t mean she liked it, though.

Random Bystander she/her Posted April 3, 2024 Posted April 3, 2024 Elsie was bouncing excitedly. She was very obviously excited to go to the top of the arch.

"I'm also excited. I have always wanted to go to the arch, but I was not thinking straight when I ran away." Harold said, catching up to Elsie. "What cabin are you in again? I forgot."

Lunamor she/her Posted April 3, 2024 Posted April 3, 2024 3 minutes ago, Weaver of Lights said: “Ok.” He kissed her cheek, then walked to the elevator. Jenny followed, managing to hide her extreme reluctance. Ed being there for her helped, though. She would’ve started panicking long before this if she was alone. Well, even more than she currently was. 2 minutes ago, Random Bystander said: Elsie was bouncing excitedly. She was very obviously excited to go to the top of the arch. Elsie was bouncing. That meant you were excited, right? She smiled. Elsie was a pretty cute kid. Hopefully she didn’t bounce when they were on the elevator, though. Jenny wasn’t a huge fan of those either.

You joined us after we left camp. That's right. I'm sorry. I forget things easily." Harold said, trying not to disclose too much about his history. He would, in time. Maybe when he wasn't on a quest.

He was making another friend. He doesn't have many, but there are more now than he ever had. "I'm glad this group actually accepts me. No other had. And trust me, I've tried a lot."

But we can change the future." Harold was very happy on that elevator ride.

I could still hit my targets, though. Unless it broke. That happened a lot." Quote I'm going to bed now.

I should probably go to bed too. But I won't, because I am good at like 3 things, and one of them is making really bad decisions. Elsie's eyes widened. "That's so cool!"

Quote Yeah, uh, this is 100% what I would have done.

This one looked really weird.

The woman looked at Elsie. “Not yet, my dear.” Jenny deflated. This was a pretty common reaction for her. While she loved animals, the feeling tended to not be reciprocated. Apparently she smelled like death. At least her necromantically revived animals didn’t hate her. That would be a bit hypocritical of them.
