<div class="floatleft">(http://i980.photobucket.com/albums/ae282/caela_ecub/Avatars/V3_zps5561347a.jpg)</div><strong>Name:</strong>Veleriya "V" Nika Devanagari (https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=207204.msg10274780#msg10274780)<br/><strong>Cabin:</strong>Dionysus<br/><strong>Location:</strong>Basketball Court.<br/><strong>Date/Time:</strong>September 24th, After breakfast<br/><strong>Tagging:</strong>Jamal, Mariam, Duke, Chester, Bella, OPEN<br/><strong>Notes:</strong>Wearing fitted camp t-shirt, black jeans, black sneakers, hair in a loose ponytail<br/><br/><hr/><br/>Veleriya wished she could say she was surprised when the tree's damned roots shot up and grabbed all of them! In truth, if she'd been the tree listening to them (the boys in particular) talk about cutting into it, she'd probably have done the same thing. Still, she<em>wasn't</em>a crotchety, old, tree and she didn't like being taken hostage against her will! With a dark look on her face she muttered, though she knew everyone would hear,<strong>"I <em>don't</em> do bondage with groups."</strong><br/><br/>Looking at the boys predicaments though, and listening to Duke mention getting squished, she supposed she really wasn't that bad off with just a few roots twining around her ankles and calves to hold her in place. At least she wasn't hanging upside down like Chester! With a smirk flashed at her sister, she knew it would take awhile for him to live<em>that</em>down and even considered making small miniatures of him hanging from a tree for their next party!<br/><br/>It never occurred to her that they might not get out of the tree's clutches.<br/><br/>Listening to her sister try talking to the tree some more, she simply decided to act. Leaning forward so she could reach the roots twined around her legs, she began to stroke them gently, much the way you would the back of a small child you were trying to comfort while her voice began to rise in a smooth alto over her friends and the tree. She wasn't a professional singer, but she'd never embarrass herself either. Her voice was pleasant and warm and her range sufficient as she began to sing to the tree, hoping to soothe him back to sleep.<br/><br/>Considering their predicament, a blues song simply seemed to come naturally to her, and with the magic involved she couldn't help but to turn to Nina Simone's version of "I Put a Spell on You". The words seemed natural and right as she continued to stroke the vines holding her and she glanced at her sister with a slight nod to encourage her to do the same.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Nina Simone</div><div class="spoiler_body">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xDprYZ-tgiA</div></div>
