[Hope , I belong here more than they do.]

Mercy: Hello, Rosemarie. I hear you came here on a bet. Tell me, just how much is the second party offering you?

[*~Silvypoo~* (Chaser of Artemis), Life's a dance, you learn as you go.]

Rosemarie: I get to punch an annoying bastard in the face. And I get a hug.

[Hope , I belong here more than they do.]

Mercy: You came in here...so that you could hit someone and hug someone else? *long pause* I do not know whether you are stupid or simply a masochist.

[*~Silvypoo~* (Chaser of Artemis), Life's a dance, you learn as you go.]

Rosemarie: A masochist? And technically, I could probably hug that person whenever I want. It's just another thing to look forward to. It wasn't exactly my choice to come here, of course. If I had it my way, I would be far, far away from the woods. I came here under the impression that I didn't have another option.

[Hope , I belong here more than they do.]

Mercy: *knits brows* You mean you were blackmailed?

[*~Silvypoo~* (Chaser of Artemis), Life's a dance, you learn as you go.]

Rosemarie: No, not exactly, I was just told if I didn't go in, I'd be irritated by the person I get to punch.

[Hope , I belong here more than they do.]

Mercy: You decided to go camping here just to avoid a bit of irritation? You...you...I just do not understand children these days. *slowly shakes head*

[*~Silvypoo~* (Chaser of Artemis), Life's a dance, you learn as you go.]

Rosemarie: You obviously haven't met Jason. There's no 'little irritation' with him.

[Hope , I belong here more than they do.]

Mercy: I know many Jasons, Rosemarie. You will have to be more specific.

[*~Silvypoo~* (Chaser of Artemis), Life's a dance, you learn as you go.]

Rosemarie: Jason Turner. Blonde hair in a crew-cut, green eyes, knows absolutely nothing about social etiquette.

[Hope , I belong here more than they do.]

Mercy: *is thoughtful for a moment, then shakes head* No, I do not know him. I would remember if I did, especially if he is as...unforgettable as you claim.

[*~Silvypoo~* (Chaser of Artemis), Life's a dance, you learn as you go.]

Rosemarie: It's hard to forget a pain in your ass that big, yes. So what's wrong with me leg?

[Hope , I belong here more than they do.]

Mercy: Well, the fibula is broken in several places, for starters. You lost a lot of blood. If you aren't feeling any pain, it is because I gave you a sort of sedative in the form of a combination of spider venoms and not because your leg is okay. Tell me, how are you feeling right now?

[*~Silvypoo~* (Chaser of Artemis), Life's a dance, you learn as you go.]

Rosemarie: The pain is still there, but it's obviously not was bad as before because I'm conscious. *winces as she's told her leg is broken* Now how the hell am I going to walk to get out of here? *sighs* Thanks for helping me, though. If you didn't help me, I'd be demon fold.

[Hope , I belong here more than they do.]

Mercy: *seeming satisfied, nods* Well, the answer to your question is obvious. You don't walk. You can't. Exactly how long did you expect to stay in here, Rosemarie? Perhaps it will give your leg time to heal?

[*~Silvypoo~* (Chaser of Artemis), Life's a dance, you learn as you go.]

Rosemarie: A week. And no offense, but I am not going to stay in here longer than I need to.

[Hope , I belong here more than they do.]

Mercy: *dryly* Well, good luck trying to drag yourself out of here with one good leg. You will become food for something before you go one-hundred yards.

[*~Silvypoo~* (Chaser of Artemis), Life's a dance, you learn as you go.]

Rosemarie: Most likely. How long will it take to heal? I might just have to drag myself out.

[Hope , I belong here more than they do.]

Mercy: A broken limb? Quite a while. Unless...*brief pause* Rosemarie, how exactly do you feel about magic in general?

[*~Silvypoo~* (Chaser of Artemis), Life's a dance, you learn as you go.]

Rosemarie: I'm not going to lie, I sort of saw this coming. Saul's magic? Not a fan--I'll end up being his eternal slave or something and that would be terrible. If it gets my leg fixed so I can go home, eh. *shrugs* What the Hades?

[Hope , I belong here more than they do.]

Mercy: No, not Saul. Diana. *drops to the ground and begins to pace, hands behind back* Saul's magic can do nothing but weaken and sicken and corrupt. But Diana...she is a very accomplished healer. Very good in thaumaturgy. She may be able to help.

[*~Silvypoo~* (Chaser of Artemis), Life's a dance, you learn as you go.]

Rosemarie: *sits up quickly, wincing in pain* Really? Is she willing to make house calls?

[Hope , I belong here more than they do.]

Mercy: Yes--depending on the urgency of the situation, whether she's occupied or not, and if she can even be found. She is a very elusive woman. All the same, she may take pity on you. *pauses to give her a sharp glance* Lay back down! You will irritate your wound further by moving!

[*~Silvypoo~* (Chaser of Artemis), Life's a dance, you learn as you go.]

Rosemarie: Sorry, sorry! *slowly lays back down* You think she'll help me?

[Hope , I belong here more than they do.]

Mercy: Yes, if we can find her. That is the problem. *continues to pace*

[*~Silvypoo~* (Chaser of Artemis), Life's a dance, you learn as you go.]

Rosemarie: How's the bet way to find her?

[Hope , I belong here more than they do.]

Mercy: As far as I know, there isn't one. As I said, she is incredibly elusive. She has no alliances, lives with no one. She is often very hard to find.

[*~Silvypoo~* (Chaser of Artemis), Life's a dance, you learn as you go.]

Rosemarie: We better trudge along and look for her, then! I can hobble.

[Hope , I belong here more than they do.]

Mercy: Nonsense. I will send the spiders out. *there is a rapid series of clicks and snapping sounds, and then the ground becomes a carpet of eight-legged arachnids fanning out into the trees* With so many of them, we should be able to locate Diana rather quickly.

[*~Silvypoo~* (Chaser of Artemis), Life's a dance, you learn as you go.]

Rosemarie: Why spiders? Why not send birds or squirrels? Spiders?

[Hope , I belong here more than they do.]

Mercy: Ask Micah. *shrugs* He was the one who did this to me. Besides, spiders are more numerous than both birds and squirrels. Faster, too.

[*~Silvypoo~* (Chaser of Artemis), Life's a dance, you learn as you go.]

Rosemarie: I'm sorry. I can't believe he did that to you. I would have kicked his ass.

[Hope , I belong here more than they do.]

Mercy: I did. I ruined his reputation--fairly the equivalent.

[*~Silvypoo~* (Chaser of Artemis), Life's a dance, you learn as you go.]

Rosemarie: Good or you. A man's reputation is almost as precious as what's in between his legs. *leans back in satisfaction*

[Hope , I belong here more than they do.]

Mercy: *amused* I'm sorry, what?

[*~Silvypoo~* (Chaser of Artemis), Life's a dance, you learn as you go.]

Rosemarie: *falters* To them, a man's reputation is almost as precious as what's between his legs.

[Hope , I belong here more than they do.]

Mercy: *knits brows* ...I do not understand what you're trying to say. Why would their genitals be so important to a man?

Me: Rosemarie, oh my God. XD

My boys: *exchange quizzical looks*

Carlos: Anybody else agree with that?

Jason: Nope.

Raven: Not at all. Her and I are certainly going to be discussing that little remark later.

[*~Silvypoo~* (Chaser of Artemis), Life's a dance, you learn as you go.]

Rosemarie: Well I'm sure they'd be pretty lost and upset without it. Same with their reputation.
Me: She is not mine. XD

[Hope , I belong here more than they do.]

Mercy: *unimpressed* Hmmph. Think of a better comparison, Rosemarie. That one was incredibly awkward.

[*~Silvypoo~* (Chaser of Artemis), Life's a dance, you learn as you go.]

Rosemarie: You still get my point, either way.

[Hope , I belong here more than they do.]

Mercy: Barely.

[*~Silvypoo~* (Chaser of Artemis), Life's a dance, you learn as you go.]

Rosemarie: *sigh* Okay, it's like their reputation is their hand. With their reputation gone life would be more difficult and certainly different, like if you were to lose one of your hands.

[Hope , I belong here more than they do.]

Mercy: I still don't understand what genitalia has to do with it, but you are at least making comprehensible sense now. Better.

[*~Silvypoo~* (Chaser of Artemis), Life's a dance, you learn as you go.]

Rosemarie: Never mind. Forget I mentioned genitals. *waves off comment impatiently*

[Hope , I belong here more than they do.]

Mercy: *rather amused* Very well.

[*~Silvypoo~* (Chaser of Artemis), Life's a dance, you learn as you go.]

Rosemarie: Wonderful! Are any of your little arachnids coming back, by chance?

[Hope , I belong here more than they do.]

Mercy: *cocks head, as if listening for a distant sound* Yes. And a group of them has found Diana. She will be coming soon.

[*~Silvypoo~* (Chaser of Artemis), Life's a dance, you learn as you go.]

Rosemarie: Awesome! Can I still not sit up?

[Hope , I belong here more than they do.]

Mercy: You may sit up. Slowly, though. Slowly.

[*~Silvypoo~* (Chaser of Artemis), Life's a dance, you learn as you go.]

Rosemarie: All right. *slowly rises in hammock, almost falling out as her weight goes to one side*
