"I do so apologize. I get distracted  and sometimes forget my manners." He holds the jar out to Jaime to offer him a snack. "Anyone else? Feel free to help yourselves, I am certain we will work up an appetite tonight. The bugs are quite likely not of mundane origin would would think looking at them." (If you are some kind of Hedge Croc Hunter, or just hungry, lemmie know. :D  )<br/><br/>As he sees the hedge gate, The Doctor watches it for a few moments, then he looks to Joe and studies him as he approaches the gate. (using Witch's Intuiton. 1 sux on Joe. When you get time shoot me a message telling me one of Joe's deep fears. Keeper doesn't count.) As the curious little man does this he opines to the others. "Curious no? The gate is still open after all this time. This must be a creature of<em>immense</em>power for such a thing to happen." He says in fascinated awe as a little smile cannot help but touch his lips at the thought.  "Or it is a trap." He adds simply, in afterthought.<br/><br/>"I remember a gate being left open like this once. Mad Maddy went in, poor little dear. She was never the same after that. Nearly two years before she ventured out of doors again. At least we have some brave souls gathered here and now. Venturing forth for a city most of them do not yet know." As he is speaking he takes a scalpel and just pricks his finger a little, taking a few moments to bring forth some blood Doc dots his forehead with it and then walks over to Jaime. "Sticks and stones may certainly hurt us, but fear and cowardice shall never find purchase." He rhymes softly as he reaches to dab Jaime, then Val, Brandi, and Joe.<br/><br/>[[OOC Anyone who is feeling like a "fuck no" on this one, normally would use their resolve. But if you just post saying no, or dodging or whatever, count yourself resisting successfully. ]]<br/><br/>After approximately two minutes, Doc seems satisfied.<br/><br/>"Well then, let us rescue some muggles shall we?" He walks right in after Joe and seems delighted as he looks around.
