Hell yeah!

Also, I'm so mad bc I suddenly have artistic inspiration now when I need to sleep soon. If anyone wants to give like, small pointers of how their peeps look like addition or contrast to their images let me know, otherwise I'm going ham <3

Iraleth has full permission to punch Hildegunde in the face for that. But she did mean it as a compliment, there's just something wrong with her <3

It's over. That's what she thought as the mannequin made a final swing towards her, only for it and most the room to be engulfed in shadow. Hildegunde's eyes widen. She blinks. And soon, the mannequin - the mannequins - were no more. She immediately scrambles for her rifle, panic stilling once her hands find their way around the familiar grip.

Gulliver was down. The storm had passed.

And someone was trying to act as thunder.

The woman gives Otis a curious look. The nature is hard to decipher. Is it one of disdain? Admiration? Judgement? Condescension? Whatever the case, the woman gives a low chuckle, shaking her head slightly.

"Letting Gulliver stay. How noble of you," she jokes, although there's a certain edge to her voice that makes it clear that she is not happy about the choice. If she's planning on doing anything about it, however, she shows no signs. Perhaps she is joking to gauge the reactions of the others before taking affirmative action. She picks a splinter out of her upper lip, gained from when she had attempted to chomp down on the kimono clad mannequin, hardly flinching as she does so. She eyes Chunji's medkit, but then looks away; she's not asking Chunji, or risking a brawl with him. While she miraculously lacks any other splinters imbedded in skin, she's in relatively rough shape.

Like Ciara, she makes her way over to Iraleth, offering her a hand. Two helping hands are better than one, and she owes the half-elf yet again. As well as the fellow human girl now, as it were.

"You are the craziest, stupidest, most impressive person I've met in a while," she tells Iraleth, awestruck. Was it supposed to be praise? It sounds and looks like it, judging by the genuine grin on her face. Maybe she herself doesn't recognize that the first two words are typically insults.

"Thanks for the help. Both of you. And sorry for not saying it earlier, half-elf."

@Estylwen I should be! There's something I need to get done before 4 PM but after that I'm free :>

Iris Ascendis

Thank you all so much. Unfortunately today has been Comically Disastrous and as much as I want to go to sleep I can't even do that because I got more to deal with. I'd love to say why but for privacy reasons I will not disclose. Just know that it's been real rough and I'm very glad y'all are understanding.

@Nanaya @Estylwen @Psyker Landshark atting you three since this pertains to you the most.

For reply purposes, if you want Ciara to have save Hilde's ass before the mannequins attacked, she can more or less be retreating while Ciara does her thing, keeping a particular eye out for Iraleth since she's Not Doing So Great.

If it's chill with you if she saved Hilde after a bit, imagine Hildegunde had gotten smacked, rifle out of hand, and had resorted to hissing and attacking the damn thing with her teeth and nails, since physical strength is NOT her forte Strength is her dump stat.

And she was losing.

Terribly.

I truly did want to show Hildegunde being more unhinged here, but ah well. But yeah, whatever works for you three. Leaning towards the latter personally if only because I think it's funny.

Iris Ascendis

Thank you @Estylwen !
I'll try to get a post up tonight but if I am cringe and fail again Nanaya has full permission to skip me. I feel really bad but I'm mobile bound and not a good mobile types + aforementioned job and meds adjustment period.
