top/white sole Chuck Taylors</em><br/><strong>Time:</strong><em>7:00 PM June 4th; Evening</em><br/><strong>Location:</strong><em>Campsite Clearing</em><br/><strong>Tagging | Mentioning:</strong><em>Dani, CJ| Felix, Lorelei, Faith, Danica, Liam, Naga, Witchy-Poo</em><br/><hr/>Some things are shocking in one way, like having to fight a giant snake woman who seems to be after a blonde girl and perhaps everyone else.  Even more so when Dani and Layne attack and their efforts strike the mark, even though they get bowled over in the process.<br/><br/>Some things are shocking in another way, like getting knocked over by said snake lady and doing your damndest to twist your body to protect and cushion Dani’s fall and finding yourself with, well, more or less, really more than expected, a handful of Dani’s incredibly cute rear in your hand as the two of you hit the ground hard and the only thing you manage to cushion, save, protect if the pretty girl’s ass you have been staring, um, looking at since you left the main camp to head to this freaky place.  Was it a matter of best effort and physics and chance, or more or less some bun-nel vision that ended up with Layne sprawled out and his hand being the landing spot for Dani’s rear quarters.<br/><br/>Somehow that leaves him far more breathless and frozen than taking on a wild and dangerous seeming snake woman creature ever did or could.  Maybe Sam is right about him, at least a little bit, maybe he and the toucan aren’t all that different after all.<br/><br/>Layne does realize he also smacked his own head pretty good, which makes all of these thoughts a bit surreal, as if the night wasn’t plenty of that already.  Danica is up and at it quickly, no word about their not fully intended close encounter of the whatever kind that was and is talking about poking the down and mostly out snake lady with a stick.  Sitting up and shaking off the cobwebs from his own jolt to the head, which looks far less severe than the one his rock caused and for which a wave of guilt sweeps over him for a moment, his head swivels towards Fifi, er, Faith and the chick named Janise that is suddenly really old and talking about covens and things and eggs, an egg, and then he remembers the snake lady saying something about an egg.<br/><br/>Slowly getting to his feet, he slowly strides over and the creature on the ground is at least breathing, which he can’t rightly decide is a good or bad thing or something else entirely.  He is about to suggest tying it up and then trying to treat it’s injuries, taking a middle path of sorts, when he hears Faith and the silver haired cackler having at it.<br/><br/><strong>“Enough,”</strong>he grumbled and growled under his breath and started walking that way, then hears what sounded like a not that understated threat and she is grinding or mixing something, like whatever, she seems even crazier than the snake lady.<br/><br/>Then there were fireworks, Faith had magic, they all seemed to in one way or another, all or a lot of it coming out that evening as the group banded together to defend themselves and each other, and while Faith’s fiery fury was totally fucking impressive, the hag didn’t seem overly phased by it, not enough as Layne hoped she would be.  He hoped she would be cinders by then in fairness, which was more wishful thinking than anything he now realized.  Then Faith was telling the hag to take her instead of the egg, which, really, had they even seen the egg, and was any of this their business.<br/><br/>No, no it was not, and Layne stepped in between the hag and Faith as quickly as his long strides could take him,<br/><br/><strong>“No, you aren’t taking any of us and we don’t give a shit about you, Witch Bitch, this is a private party so take your egg, your friend back there and get the fuck out of here and leave us alone!”</strong>he shouted at her, a deep grumble of a shout, more forceful and powerful than loud.  They hadn’t come here to get into the middle of some magical battle between snakes and witches, neither of which seemed to mind hurting, tricking or threatening those people and, creatures of a sort, that had come here together.  In his mind he didn’t want to see anyone get hurt, but if a line had to be drawn it was an easy one to draw, us against them.<br/><br/><strong>“Faith isn’t going with you, none of us is, now get your raggedy ass out of here and take all of your bullshit with you,”</strong>his anger seething, which most would know since he rarely cursed so profanely unless he was really pissed, and maybe to some it wasn’t heroic to have her make off with the snake woman and the alleged snake egg, but then again, it was Dani that called them superheroes, not Layne, and he was doing the best he could for those that were his people and friends.  Unarmed, no real magic of his own ready to be unleashed, at best he was acting as a distraction to the creature and maybe making her just a bit unsure, at worst…at worst he was both target for the witch and meat shield for Faith, and he could live with that.<br/><br/>You know, if he lived, if any of them did.<br/>
