what in the longdark spitting-pit is that

[inourhead]

This was a bad idea this was a bad idea this was a bad idea.

Holly runs as fast as she can but the demon's faster. She has no idea where Lightning's gotten to; maybe he found a tree to climb. She on the other hand has been diverted into a treeless hill and she's careening down a slope, trying very hard not to trip.

And the demon's gaining on her.

She's never seen anything like it and neither has Crystal; maybe Book knows what it is but Book's asleep. It's mostly mouth - it looks like a cross between a floorlength mirror of a mouth and a snake to propel the mouth along.

And Holly's not fast enough.

The mouth catches her.





But it doesn't hurt.

Where are we?

Reasonably sparse, actually. All of them make a beeline for her, instead of hanging around in any one place.

[inourhead]

She makes a run for it.

[aestrix]

She makes it to the star without issue!

The star consolidates with its fellow neatly. Now she has two.

[inourhead]

Good. She heads back for the house.

There are dead things and eyeballs in the way, but they are no match for being hit with a sword.

No other stars fall in the area for the rest of the night.

When the sun comes back, Holly drowses a bunny, swaps them some food, and lets Crystal take over.

Crystal digs in the hope of finding a wider variety of metal.

Crystal hits a cave.

It's dark, in there.

[inourhead]

She goes and gets a torch.
