Lu Qi: Getting close, narrowing eyes Damn it! Fucking spirits everywhere! Stay close, babe. I'll take you home safe.
ponymuse
…ok
grabs ponymuse's hand tightly, pulling her towards a hidden cave We need to find shelter before those damn spirits get us!
ponymuse
…you think this will work?
rolls his eyes dramatically Trust me, sweetheart, I've survived worse than some petty spirits. Now, stay quiet and let me handle this.
ponymuse
I hug him
smirks, giving ponymuse a playful squeeze Alright, alright, enough with the affection for now. We got bigger problems to tackle, darling.
ponymuse
ok…
whispers Alright, here's what we're gonna do. We'll use this cave as our temporary hideout. I'll scout ahead and assess the situation.
ponymuse
Ok…where do you want to go?
leans in closer, whispering I'm going to check if there are any other survivors nearby.
ponymuse
ok be careful
rubs his hands together Don't worry, babe. I'll be back in a jiffy, gathering all the info we need to survive this shitstorm.
ponymuse
I sit down and hug my knees
pats ponymuse's head reassuringly Don't worry, love. I'll make sure you're safe until I get back. Just sit tight and keep yourself busy.
ponymuse
Ok..
grabs a nearby stone and starts carving it into a makeshift weapon While I'm gone, why don't you try your hand at some basic spellcasting?
ponymuse
ok…
Lu Qi returns to the cave after scouting and finds that the situation is dire. The spirits have already taken over the island, and the survivors are being forced into slavery.
ponymuse
What did you find out?
clenches his fists Those goddamn spirits! They've turned this place into their own damn playground! And the survivors...
ponymuse
…survivors?
Yeah, the fucking survivors! They're being rounded up like livestock, forced into slavery by those malevolent spirits! paces back and forth angrily
