9th ♥ [Audio]

[lightwithin]

[She had meant to address this to someone, to ask for help, to do something more than complain.

But after a few seconds' silence, she doesn't know what to do besides just saying it.]

There are snakes on my head!

[Somebody woke up a gorgon this morning.]

And they bite.

[dmr]

Er...

...might be a good idea not to um. Look anyone in the eyes, Kairi. Just in case.

[audio]

[lightwithin]

Oh?

[This... This doesn't sound like Tammy.]

Why?

[audio]

[dmr]

I've heard some stories about women with snakes for hair who can turn a man to stone just by meeting their eyes. Only guys, though. But that's just my world. Things're probably different here.

[audio]

[lightwithin]

But-...

[She didn't want to turn people to stone.]

Okay. Thanks. I'll be careful.

Um, what happened to your voice?

[text]

[dmr]

[Cause that voice is spooky, and her fingers seem to be stronger than they look.]

It's kind of finding it's way out of a different kind of pathway right now. Meaning I don't seem to have a mouth so much as a hole and in place of a voice box I have a candle.

Fun, right?

[Audio]

[lightwithin]

A... Candle?

[Did she swallow it?]

Is it burning you?

[text]

[dmr]

If it is, I can't feel it. I just feel kind of hollow and weird.

[But moving on because she doesn't want to freak Kairi out.]

You going to go to the party thing?

[Text]

[eventedthree]

[Xanth's handwriting is awful; it's shaky, wonky, and altogether nearly illegible. It's usually bad, but today it's even worse - probably because Xanth woke up with only three fingers to go with his new insectoid body.]

are yu o k

[Audio]

[lightwithin]

I've been bitten a few times, but they missed my eyes.

[Should she ask why he's writing instead of talking?]

Are you okay?

[Text]

[eventedthree]

[Audio]

[lightwithin]

Can't you talk?

[Text]

[eventedthree]

kind of not reely

i can show yu if yu want

[Audio]

[lightwithin]

[Could she ask him to show her? She was curious. She wanted to see.

If he showed her, then she'd show him too. Just as long as she didn't look him in the eye.]

Okay.

[audio]

[heavyweaponsbot]

Calm down, kid. It will not last.

[audio]

[lightwithin]

Ironhide?

[It is Ironhide! He sounds different.]

Do you know anything about snakes?

[He's an adult. He should know, right? Even if it doesn't last, they're biting now.]

[audio]

[heavyweaponsbot]

Yeah.

[Yeah, it's him, Kairi. Just squishier.]

Not really. No. Just leave them alone until they get bored. That should work.

[audio]

[lightwithin]

But... They're on my head.

[How can she leave them alone? What makes snakes sleep?]

I think they're hungry.

[audio]

[heavyweaponsbot]

Then shake them out and feed them.

[audio -> video]

[lightwithin]

Shake them out?

[Does he think... They're in her hair?

She switches to video.]

They're attached.

[Audio]

[lightwithin]

[When he puts it like that, it sounds like they're coming out here ears. That's even worse.]

They're attached to my head. They don't have tails.

Do you know how to feed snakes?

[lightwithin]

[Ew, Sollux! Don't be gross! That's so disgusting she almost didn't notice that little slip-up just there.

Almost.]

Kupo?

[She's spoken to this... Boy? Before. He helped her when she was asking about time.]

Hey, did you get changed into something different?

[text]

[thii2ii22tupiid]

[Audio]

[lightwithin]

[Okay, he didn't want to talk about it.

But she wanted to know.]

What did you get changed into?
