012 Dark Towers Destroyed; video/action;

[oceantrauma]

No, you don't want to go that way.

[The voice seems to come out of no where, but if you turn around and look closely at the wall behind you, you'll find a small, fluffy, blue worm watching you. He's not happy about having to lie, but it's his job. Besides....]

Would you like to come inside for a spot of tea instead? [You're not really in a hurry to get out of here, are you? Humor him or not? Or call him on his lies about directions?]

[There might be a slight retreat involved.]

I live here and know the Labyrinth quite well. [Well enough to send you in the wrong direction for being mean.]

[worldofourown]

[Mean is his default mode 8(]

And what are you supposed to be? A slug? A caterpillar?

[oceantrauma]

[And Ken's is...idk, cute.]

I'm a worm.

Are you sure you wouldn't like some tea?

[worldofourown]

[He is immune to cute, the bastard :|]

Since when do worms drink tea?

[oceantrauma]

[That's fine. Ken's immune to...probably nothing. Also, matter-of-fact tone.]

I don't know about other worms, but in this Labyrinth, I do.

[worldofourown]

Hm.

[Pause.]

What sort of tea? Is it blood-flavored?

[oceantrauma]

No, no, nothing like that.

Is that how you take your tea? With blood? I'm sure you can find a supply around, if you wish to add it.

[worldofourown]

I can't smell any people round, sadly.

[No blood-supplies 8( Eyeing the worm speculatively.]

I don't suppose your blood would taste very good. Provided you have any...

[oceantrauma]

[.... Oh, yeah, not creepy at all Karl.]

I'm too small to get a good amount out of.

[worldofourown]

[Not the LEAST BIT.]

In that case, you may play my tour guide.

[Reaching for joo, Wormie!]

[oceantrauma]

[Okay! Back-tracking to home now! Not that worms are all that fast or anything....]

I don't need to play tour guide. I was giving you directions already.

[worldofourown]

[GOTCHA! Holding the squirmy Wormie at eye-level.]

And how do I know you aren't lying?

[oceantrauma]

[Well...damn. He is a very little worm. Do be careful.]

You don't.

[worldofourown]

[Karl doesn't have the gentlest of touches. Nonetheless. No squished Wormie yet is a good sign. Right?]

Precisely.

You are coming with me. And no tricks.

[oceantrauma]

[Yes, very good.]

Well, then.... You want to go the other way, it'll take you straight to the castle.

[worldofourown]

I thought so.

[Treacherous Wormies. And Karl will now stomp off is said direction, Worm in tow.]

[oceantrauma]

If you thought so, then why didn't you just go in that direction?

No one said you had to listen to anyone else.

[worldofourown]

Because I prefer to be sure.

[Evil smile. He may still eat you 8(]

Besides. If you claim to know the Labyrinth, it saves both our time. And more importantly: Mine.

[oceantrauma]

Now you are sure!

[No, don't eat me. I'm part of the Labyrinth. D:]

It's assured safe now. Just keep walking this way.
