Bad Moon on the Rise

[not_so_different]

[As the full moon rises, a loud crash is heard in apartment 9A. The mirror is knocked from the dresser as it's thrown on its side. When it hits the floor it activates to the sound of a low whining growl. A figure can be seen kneeling on the floor, her plum colored skirt around her knees, revealing knee high leather boots. Her hair seems wilder than usual... And that's saying something. She covers her face, shaking her head.]

No... No, not again. Not here.

((ooc: Full moon Missy! Proceed with caution. Open to mirror or in the apartment.))

She smiled a little, enjoying this vein of the conversation. "Of course. That's the key to winning. You cheat or exploit your opponents' weaknesses. It makes it so much easier... and so much more fun."

There was a little voice in her head that was telling her this was the wrong sort of conversation to be having... but the power of the full moon dashed that voice against the rocks and let the darkness run wild.

[strangeandunusual]

"Okay." She nodded, thinking a little. Missy was clearly extremely clever, and part of being a good part of a team was knowing everyone's strengths. "So ... for us to really save the Kingdom, it's better to purify the Corroded instead of killing them ... and that's easier for Mal and I to do if they're distracted. So ... probably the best way to cheat is to come up with a really, really good distraction. Preferably something that keeps them still. How would you do that?"

[not_so_different]

Please. Give her something difficult.

She rolled her eyes, "Distracting and keeping them still are two different things, my dear. And you are rather limited with the primitive technology of this place. It would also depend entirely on what sort of corrupted creature you're after. Is it hungry? Give it something to eat. While it's busy eating you can sneak up and do what you must, assuming it doesn't see, smell, or hear you coming. If you set a trap and drop it in a pit, drop a cage or net or something over it or entangle it in something you'd be able to take care of it in a flash. And, of course, there's always the option of bait." She grinned, wickedly, remembering her oh so brilliant plan with Clara and the Daleks.

this conversation is going to come in super handy later ;)

[strangeandunusual]

"Bait. ... I hadn't really thought of that. I don't know what they'd consider bait, other than, uh, us."

Isn't it, though?!

[not_so_different]

"And what's wrong with that? People make excellent bait." She'd done it plenty of times, you know.

[strangeandunusual]

"I'd want to make sure I could defend someone for certain before I used them as bait," she said, in a tone that suggested she wasn't sure this should need to be explained.

[not_so_different]

She let out a low growl "Some people deserve to be bait."

Wait...that was rude. She shook her head a little, trying to push back the dark thoughts. "If... If you're drawing something out you presumably have a plan to handle it already."

[strangeandunusual]

She could almost think of one, herself. Almost, she scolded herself, pushing away the thought of white wings and a smug smirk. "Not really. I mean, Mal and I have been trying, but we're two Princesses, we're not strong enough to take the Corroded out there by ourselves. We already had to turn back on one trip, and we did okay when we brought Ace with us, but ... I feel like we should have some kind of actual plan, other than just running out there to do the things Merlin needs and hoping we can handle it. Problem is, so many other people here are used to fighting things, and the worst thing I ever fought before I got here was the chicken pox."

[not_so_different]

"You just need someone to go with you who has experience with such things, plan or no."

Did she just offer to go with Lydia and this Mal person? Maybe. Might be fun to see what this girl could really do.

[strangeandunusual]

"I think that might actually be exactly what we need. Mal said she's fought bigger monsters, but she had more friends with her, and their magic was stronger, so ... I'll ask her and see what she thinks." She smiled. "Thanks, Missy. You're the best."

[not_so_different]

She returned that smile. It came far more easily than she expected. What was happening to her?

"You're welcome. We'll show those boys how it's done."

[strangeandunusual]

"Sounds perfect. ... Let me know if you need anything today, okay? Like, from the Emporium or whatever. Then you won't have to worry about going out. I don't mind."

[not_so_different]

"Thank you." She nodded, "That's very kind. I... I don't think there's anything I need but if anything should come to mind I'll let you know."

[strangeandunusual]

"Don't mention it. I'll check in again with you a little later, okay? I need to go take my clothes out of the dryer."

Teenager she may have been, but she wore enough stylish things that didn't look great wrinkled.
