[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?

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

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?

[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?

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

Why wouldn't they?

[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!

[handysparehand.livejournal.com]

[yes he fails at lying, terribly, horribly fails. so, yeah, but you have something and you're not telling so this is a new shiny mystery thing!]

A secret? Really.

[thinks]

Is it alive?

[galeforcehero.livejournal.com]

[bites her lip and makes a face, shifting her weight from foot to foot, trying to decide if the answer is "yes" or "no". ...Really it shouldn't be such a difficult question.]

Ah... sort of.

[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!

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

Corpse!

[handysparehand.livejournal.com]

[remembering that trunk she brought on the Plane awhile ago]

Is it larger than that bag looks?

[galeforcehero.livejournal.com]

[...blink]

I'm not going to ask why you think I would carry a body around in a backpack. Or how I would make it fit.

Guess again.

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

I've never had troubles with that sort of thing.

[he scratches his chin thoughtfully]

Very small rocks?

[galeforcehero.livejournal.com]

Nope! Not this time.

[She shifts it on her shoulder a little, because it IS a bit heavy.]

Guess again!

[handysparehand.livejournal.com]

[notices that shift.]

You can put it down if you want, it's not like it's going to up and run away.

[pause, and small look of disbelief]

It's not going to run away, right?

[disbelief and a little excitement]

Tell me it's not going to run away!

[galeforcehero.livejournal.com]

[she puts the backpack down-- rather carefully, it should be noted!]

It shouldn't.

[....she eyeballs it]

Unless there's something going on in there that I don't know about.

[galeforcehero.livejournal.com]

You're cold. Think bigger. ...Bigger than small rocks, but smaller than a corpse.

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

Pies? Cannibal pies? Oh no, you've been stealing from Broadway musicals, haven't you?

[handysparehand.livejournal.com]

Shouldn't? But that means it could, right?

[stares at the bag, and his tone might be a little too close to the excited side]

[usagipino]

[Pino is in her bunny suit!] Cannibals?

[galeforcehero.livejournal.com]

Well... it could, I mean, of course it could. I don't know what those things are like when they--...

[She pouts at Handy]

Hey! No hints. It COULD run off, conceivably. Next question!

[handysparehand.livejournal.com]

It COULD run off!

[grins and then puts on serious thinking face]

Right, next question. It's heavy. Could run off. Fits in a bag. Might possibly be alive. Stole it from canibals.

[thinks]

Is it dangerous?

[galeforcehero.livejournal.com]

Dangerous? Oh, no. No no no, of course not.

[....pause]

...Not yet, anyway.

[handysparehand.livejournal.com]

Not yet? What, like you add water and POOF! it's dangerous!
