"It's not magical it's called that it has a mind of its own." Satan spoke back. "You ask and it does what any living creature can do."

"So it can get up and leave."

2016-11-02 05:37:36

●

"Yes." Satan stared at them with a straight face.

2016-11-02 05:38:35

🌀

"Great. Can I go with it?"

2016-11-02 05:39:04

●

"No." Lance answered.

2016-11-02 05:39:32

🌀

"Fuck you dad I'm going home."

2016-11-02 05:39:47

●

"Same" Satan responded.

Lance moved towards a treeline. "It's this way."

2016-11-02 05:45:28

🌀

Fucking trees. "If I don't see pure silver growing out of the ground like a shrub, I'll be sorely disappointed."

2016-11-02 05:48:41

●

"That's not how that works."

2016-11-02 05:49:45

🌀

"It's a magical, sentient field. That's not usually how that works either."

2016-11-02 05:50:28

●

"It's /not/ magical." He held out his hand and the vines wrapped around him. "It's /alive./ It has it's own thoughts, feelings, emotions, you know, like a human does?"

2016-11-02 06:00:26

🌀

"Even if that was true, that would mean it's a person trapped in a bunch of plants. What kind of torture is that?"

2016-11-02 06:02:27

●

"It means that this plant is very much a person just like you and I am. Did you really think Sarandiel would be in charge of life?"

2016-11-02 06:07:59

🌀

I didn't respond. This wasn't the kind of thing I wanted to argue about.

2016-11-02 06:09:19

Lance on the other hand, continued his old man lecture. "This field drains the plant life around it in order to sustain itself but in return it takes on the emotions of everything around it. It can feel the hurt, the joy. It reacts to everything here. There's a mother one like this in Hell, and it's much, much bigger."

2016-11-02 06:12:00

🌀

Then I should probably get out of here and leave this field alone. Let's just hurry up.

2016-11-02 06:13:36

●

"Fine, fine." He stopped. "They're over there." He pointed into a small clearing. "You have to get them yourself, it doesn't let me take from here."

2016-11-02 06:17:08

🌀

...fantastic. I sighed and approached the clearing, still with no idea of what most of what I needed was supposed to look like, and slightly pissed off that nature was still more of a person than me.

2016-11-02 06:18:47

●

The plants around him started dying as his thoughts became more dark.

2016-11-02 06:19:26

🌀

Are you-- I ground a dead clump of grass under my foot and stormed past it into the clearing to just get what I needed and get out.

2016-11-02 06:28:11

●

"If you keep thinking negatively you can't do it!" Lance called out to him. Sure enough, his impatience caused a wall of dead vines to form around him, blocking him from going further.

2016-11-02 06:30:44

🌀

I cut myself in my haste to drag my axe into position and swing roughly at the vines. "GET OUT OF MY FUCKING WAY!"

2016-11-02 06:33:42

●

It just bitch slapped him like a mother would with her child who just wants all the candy in the store and won't stop screaming. The cuts on the vines only rapidly regrew.

2016-11-02 06:35:12

🌀

This is making me look /stupid/. The vines behind me finished growing into place. Red sparks were buzzing around the cut but doing nothing except make it burn. I threw my axe to the ground and began trying to pull them aside with my hands.

2016-11-02 06:41:45

●

The vines just wrapped around his hands to pull him into them.
