The questions eventually die down. Everyone has what they need. Zed can still see the Door.

It's Time.

Zed leads the group across the Bar and puts a hand on the Door as he turns to look at them. When he gets their collective nod, he drops his hand down to the door knob and waits as they take defensive positions.

"Someone had to fill in for you," Steph says gravely. "And after all, it's not like you're exactly a hard act to follow."

"Oh really?"

Goldy tilts her head in an insulting manner.

"And how would you know? I don't recall ever seeing you around the brothel taking notes. Or at all, actually. It's... almost as if you're scared of the place."

"Oh, I only hang around when there's no danger of running into you," Steph says, blithely. "After all, I like to keep myself deluded that it's a high-class place."

Re: Through the Door


Another snort.

"You're so uncultured, you wouldn't know high-class if it sat on your face."

After a quick scooping maneuver, Goldy's comeback gains a clod of flying blue goo, aimed at the Robin's exposed face. The fact that the goo's nature hasn't been determined is neither here nor there.

Re: Through the Door


Luckily, the Robin reaction time is still supremely fast. Steph's mask is yanked down before the goop has left Goldy's hand, and it splats harmlessly against the Black Oil-proof cloth.

And is promptly scooped off by a gloved hand and tossed back at Goldy's face. What else would she do?

Re: Through the Door


Goldy isn't half as fast, and her balaclava wouldn't work as a very good shield anyway. So the goop splatches unceremoniously into her face.

"Urgh!"

The disgruntled Fable lifts a hand to wipe it away and reveal the highly unimpressed look beneath. But before she reaches the offending slime, it takes on an oozey life of its own. It slides rapidly over her chin, down her neck and wriggles under the collar of her top.

Goldy blinks at the slime's startling speed, and casts a slightful fearful look down at her chest.

Re: Through the Door


Not that you can really tell through the hood, but Steph's looking slightly guilty.

"Er ... did I just make that happen?"

From: [identity profile] 3rdtimelucky.livejournal.com

Re: Through the Door


Ignoring Steph's apology preamble, a frowning Goldy makes to hurriedly remove the goop, lifting the hem of her shirt and starting to reach under it. But she hesistates for some reason, and an eyebrow raises.

"...Ooh."

She doesn't look to be in discomfort, per se.

The hidden expression changes from 'guilty' to 'I hope that's not doing what I think it's doing.'

"...Goldy?"

Re: Through the Door


"Ummm... yes?" she replies, her tone a bit detached and dreamy all of a sudden.

The Fable's eyelids droop slightly, and she removes her hand from beneath her top. At about that time, the material billows just slightly at her stomach, then stills.

Seconds later, Goldy's eyes pop wide open, and she makes a very uncharacteristic squeaky sound. Almost an 'eep' but not quite.

Re: Through the Door


Goldy jerks her head towards the compromising voice far too quickly, and then attempts to recover the situation by adopting an angelically clueless expression.

"Where's what, Zed?"

It's not a look that she manages to pull off with any real success. She actually looks like she's just been caught with her hand in the cookie jar.

The involuntary shudder of pleasure doesn't help matters. In terms of the childhood analogy, it serves as a track of muddy footprints leading across the newly mopped kitchen floor and terminating at the crime scene.

Re: Through the Door


Goldy twitches and bites down on her lip in an attempt to stifle another whimper.

"Not intentionally."

She casts a helpless glance toward Steph. But the Robin is purposefully looking away, pretending to be distracted by some shiny thing in a nearby cabinet.

Great friend she is.

"Steph threw the blue stuff at me," the Fable moans, going for a blame shifting retaliation. And, to be fair, it's not a lie.

She trembles uncontrollably again, her eyes closing this time.

Re: Through the Door


"That's great," Goldy says in a flat tone. She starts twisting her ankle awkwardly. "Normally I'd be all about it, but now isn't really the time."

"How do I get it to stop?"

Another face-scrunching shudder.

"...And where can I get myself some?"

From: [identity profile] 3rdtimelucky.livejournal.com

Re: Through the Door


A few seconds later, the blue blob slides out of the bottom of Goldy's pant leg, and slithers disconsolately back to its plate. In the aftermath, Goldy looks a little morose too, but she quickly recomposes herself and gives Zed a hearty clap on the shoulder.

"Thanks."

"I'm... er... going to get weapons now."

And she sidles off towards the rear of the chamber, giving Steph a vindictive elbow in the side as she passes.

Steph gives Zed a helpless look, discernible even through the mask.

"Can I just say ew?"
