The first thing you hear is the sound of rain faintly hitting the exterior of the house. The soft pitter-patter is almost soothing, in a way, but it’s quickly followed up by rumbling thunder in the distance. You open your eyes, and for a second all you see is a flash of light--at first it seems like it’s lightning, but then you see something. A vision of a man dressed in rags, hunched over, waves of demonic power rolling over him. He howls, and something terrible starts to grow out of him: the bloody roots of a massive tree. An immense wave of panic hits you, and you can’t move, you can’t speak, you can’t breathe--

And then it’s over. It’s over. You’re fine.

The sound of rain returns. (This time it’s definitely soothing, compared to what you just saw.) You’re standing in the foyer of a mansion, a wide open living room in front of you. The door behind you is faintly ajar, leading outside.

As soon as you grasp the cane sword, you feel the tendrils recoil from it, and in that second of weakness the panther morphs into a giant ball of spikes, like a sea urchin, and it stabs at every single tentacle clinging to your legs. Soon you find yourself free to move, save for the one that's jabbed into your shoulder. It abruptly rears back towards the throne, trying to get away from you, but in that moment you see...

... in its attempt to dislodge you, the tendril has pulled you into the air, and as you hover, you realize you've got a straight shot to drive the sword through the hulking figure's heart, if you cut yourself free from the one lodged in your shoulder. You've only got one chance, but you can do it!

[ oho. talk about teamwork! ] ♥ thanks babe! [ she winks at the panther. ] Dinner's on me.

[ as soon as she's airborne she takes out her hookshot as she makes a clean slice through a portion of the tentacle. not cutting it out completely, since she's got plans for the piece still wedged inside of her, but she DOES need to sever the connection, because it's time to kill an asshole. ]

[ once free she fires her hookshot at urizen, aiming for a spot right beside his heart, so when she pulls the trigger to snap her forward she can drive raven's cane sword straight through it. ] Now who's pitiful?

The large, hulking figure roars in pain and anger.

“YOU...! HOW DARE YOU!”

But you've got better things to do than listen to this loser's whining, right? You drive the sword down, and there's a howl of defeat that rattles every bone in your body before the figure seizes up and explodes in a massive tidal wave of blood and viscera. The tendrils all writhe and quake as they collapse to the ground, lifeless. The panther runs up to you, bloodied but alive, and pleased. It bonks its head against your hand.

YOUR SCORE:
B

[ as soon as this bitch[tm] is dead she's going to tear the chunk of tendril out of her own body and take a knee in front of the panther. ] Hey. [ bonk. ] I couldn't have done that without you. Talk about making a great team.

Here; not sure if you'd like to eat this or not, but I made sure to save a piece in case, like, you're into that sorta thing. If not I can make you something else... assuming you can leave the cellar and you're not stuck here too... [ :[ let her keep her new friend. ]

The panther will eagerly wolf down the tendril chunk, and then roll over onto its back to show its fuzzy belly and very large paw beans.

[ SHE CANNOT RESIST. ]

[ it's time to pet the panther!!! and she's going to reach for one of his massive paws and bring it to her mouth for a kiss. ] Look at you. Such an amazing companion. [ reaches up to boop his nose. ] Raven's lucky to have you, and I'm even luckier you lent me your strength, so thank you.

:P The panther purrs. Eventually it rights itself and sits, licking its wounded paw, and then curls up in a ball for a nap... and disappears back into its orb.

Later ♥. [ she's going to drag her ass back to the living room to fix the chandelier... and, idk, probably get blood everywhere. ]
