28 tightropes walked - video

[freckleddoll]

Well...this is some way to celebrate bein' 'ere for a whole year. Can't believe it's been that long, even if it seems longer sometimes.

[She's sitting on a sofa with Tiger on her lap, trying to keep him from licking at the device and sounding a little bit bitter, unusually enough for her.] Shh, 's alright, boy.

Still can't understand what's 'appenin' exactly out there. Don't 'ave any intention of lookin' either. 's just safer, stayin' in until it's over when a curse is like this, an' 'opin' it can't get in at ya.

Everyone I know is somewhere safe, yeah? 'xcept Anna...she didn't deserve to be sent back to all that.

[She leaves the window. There's not much to see--nothing that she cares to see, anyway.]

Then what is it? The other sheep, maybe?

[freckleddoll]

[Doll sets Tiger down, looking a little bit anxiously at one of the sheep taste-testing a tablecloth.]

Could be. Or...

I really don't know.

[horrible-penny.livejournal.com]

[The sheep doesn't seem anxious in the least. In fact, the sheep seems to approve of the tablecloth.]

At least we're safe... [Another glance out the window, just to make sure no killer flocks decided to show.] For now, I mean. I hope everyone else is, too.

[freckleddoll]

Yeah, we should be. Aaaah, don't! [saving a vase from being thrown to the floor as the sheep claims the tablecloth as its own.]

I think most people I know are safe. At least...at least this sort of thing don't 'appen too often. [...and she might just be scooping up Tiger and clinging to Penny for a hug.]

[Sheep: 1. Civilization: 0.]

And it'll be over soon, like all the other curses. [Hugs Penny can do, even if there's a dog in the middle of it.] It'll be okay... we just need to hold out until everything goes back to normal.

[freckleddoll]

Yeah, you're right. Should be used to this by now, really.

[horrible-penny.livejournal.com]

I don't know if there's any getting used to it. No matter how long we're here--a year, two years, ten years--things like killer sheep will pop up and surprise us.

[freckleddoll]

Hah, yeah, they most likely will. Well, could always be worse, we could be 'avin' 'em tryin' to get in. 'm glad it ain't come to that. [She's just going to sit on the sofa again, holding Tiger like some kind of security blanket.]

[horrible-penny.livejournal.com]

Even if they try to get in? They won't be able to. It'll be okay.

[Penny goes to sit with her, hoping that the sheep don't try anything. She might have a tranquilizer gun, but that doesn't mean she can aim to save herself.]

I won't let anything happen to you, got it?

[freckleddoll]

[Doll nods, hoping that if it comes to that they really won't be able to get in, and she sits a bit closer to Penny for reassurance, Tiger wriggling out of her arms to flop over both their laps.]

Won't let anythin' 'appen to you either.

[horrible-penny.livejournal.com]

[It feels safe with the couch behind them and Tiger... well, being Tiger. He's protecting them, kind of?]

Thanks, Freckles.

[freckleddoll]

[Oh, definitely! Even if he looks like he's settled down for a nap.]

Nah, thank you, Penny.
