[Oh hello, have a Dorothy! Covered in dirt from head to toe (except for some reason her shoes, which remain a shinyshiny silver) with twigs and leaves stuck in her clothes and hair. She has a backpack slung over her shoulder, similarly coated in organic debris. One would think she was having a miserable day, if it weren't for the bright beaming smile plastered on her face. Huh!]

Phew, what a day! If you ever meet a group of people who go both rightside-up and upside-down equally, I suggest running. Apparently they're cannibals. Not the nicest bunch! But I did get away with this!

[She taps her backpack and looks rather pleased with herself. Although she doesn't look to be very forthcoming about the contents of the backpack. Hmmmmmm.]

Cannibals?

[galeforcehero.livejournal.com]

Yeah! You know, the... eating people kind. Weren't very smart, but I don't think living on a diet of people is all that good for your brain, so it's their own fault. Nutritionally unsound, y'know.

How're you, Henry? Things okay?

[handysparehand.livejournal.com]

Of course I'm all right.

[and ooooh, distraction as he looks at her bag curiously]

What've you got in there?

[galeforcehero.livejournal.com]

[That's not what she asked, but she makes note that he's gonna lie whenever she asks anything remotely like that. WELL at least he's a crappy enough liar that she can tell that ~something is going on~.]

Can't tell you. It's a secret. But you can always play 20 Questions for it, if you want!

Another supposed dress in that backpack?

[galeforcehero.livejournal.com]

[she LAUGHS. Why is this so funny? Who knows. Maybe it's because she was nearly eaten this afternoon and everything seems funny in comparison to that.]

Oh, you'd like that, wouldn't you? No, of course it's not a dress. Why would a tribe of cannibals be hiding a dress?

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

Why wouldn't they?

[galeforcehero.livejournal.com]

I can think of about a million reasons why not, but I'm not going to list them, because I'm impatient. No, it's not a dress.

But you can guess again, if you'd like!

[Pino is in her bunny suit!] Cannibals?

[galeforcehero.livejournal.com]

[...awwwwwww how cute is she in her little bunny suit. Dorothy is charmed!!]

They're people that eat people. Not very nice, if I do say so myself.

[usagipino]

...People eat people?

[galeforcehero.livejournal.com]

Mean ones do. But it's wrong, in most civilizations I know of, to eat a person.

[soimpressive.livejournal.com]

I'll make a note of that.

[galeforcehero.livejournal.com]

[she BEAMS. And uh, picks a leaf out of her hair, ahem.]

Run into a lot of cannibals in your line of work?

[soimpressive.livejournal.com]

Only when I'm trying to avoid them.

[galeforcehero.livejournal.com]

Well, considering you're still standing, I'd say you've done a fine job! Then again, you might have a wooden leg or two under there, and I'd never know, so maybe you haven't. I wouldn't want to assume!

[coiledheart.livejournal.com]

...cannibals? Here?

[galeforcehero.livejournal.com]

Oh no, not here. Where I just left. We should be safe here! I don't think they could have followed me.

[Thanks Dorothy that's very comforting.]

[coiledheart.livejournal.com]

People can't follow you here? [Ever so comforting, yes.]

[oldoldghost.livejournal.com]

Well, cannibals aren't usually nice I'm afraid, human meat must do something to them.

[galeforcehero.livejournal.com]

Mm. Bad for the heart. I mean, you can't have a lot of compassion anyway, if you're okay with eating people, can you?

[oldoldghost.livejournal.com]

Nope, they probably don't have a lot of sanity either.

[thethirdqueen.livejournal.com]

I should think eating when one is both rightside-up and upside-down would make everything go sideways and end in nothing entering one's mouth at all.

[galeforcehero.livejournal.com]

[Dorothy considers this for a moment, because something being upside down and rightside up at the same time could conceivably pose some problems with digestion.]

Well, in any case, I think it's better if they don't eat at all, considering their diet mostly consists of other people.

[thethirdqueen.livejournal.com]

Unless they are in fact eating one another, in which case I suppose the only problem would be once there is none but one left!
