Yeah and now you have a yawning medieval monster coming to life beneath you Sherry.

Also, that stone exterior? Flying every which way. So much for art.

Also, yawning? Translates to ECHOING ROAR OF what sounds very much like RAGE.

Roxie had just been sitting back on a big towel. Very modest one-piece, and... her jacket, for whatever reason. Maybe she doesn't trust it by itself.

"Sherry!"

But now she's scrambling forward across the sand at almost top speed towards the (ex-)statue.

Yuri, meanwhile, is going to drop to the sand and curl up into a ball while shrieking.

[unsc-rabbit.livejournal.com]

Seeing the creature, Kelly has only one reaction. Dashing forward, she first yanks Sherry off the thing's shoulders and into the crook of one arm. Scooping Lily up on the way, she sets the shrieking girl on her shoulders, and even scoops up Vega on the way out. Hey, she can't let him get mauled.

Running them a safe distance she looks them over, not letting them down just yet. "Are you all okay?" And yeah, that did just happen very very fast.

[in-venting.livejournal.com]

...She is no longer Queen of the Mountain, and this disappoints her. However, that takes a backseat to, "WHAT WAS THAT?!" She wriggles and accidentally elbows Vega.

Also, Kelly, she wants to run as fast as you do some day.

Meanwhile, Goliath no longer has a little-girl-on-the-shoulders to react to, but there's still the matters of the blinding cloudless day and highly reflective white sand and ocean water and him being nocturnal to be dealt with. The gargoyle throws up his wings to shade his eyes before he manages to squint them open.

"Jalapeña, who turned on all this light?!"

He tries to look out from behind his wings again, then aborts the attempt. Is this the sun? It was a hell of a lot less painful last time he saw it, between the sunrise coming on slowly and him being imbued with godly might and all.

He looks down at the shattered remains of his own skin on the sand around him. He picks up a red-smeared fragment.

". . . and who was coloring on me?"

[toariversodeep.livejournal.com]

"... If you see a guy with black hair and an S on his shirt, it was him," Roxie says, looking up at Goliath.

[not_the_philistine]

He's having trouble adjusting to this much light. Still, he manages to separate his wings just enough to get a half-blinded look at Roxie.

"The sun is up, yet I am awake," he says. Does he know this girl? No, no he does not. "I do not understand."

At least he isn't tearing them limb-from-limb for the coloring. Right? Riiiight?

". . . But I will find this 'guy with an S on his shirt,' and give him a piece of my mind!"

And he CRUSHES THE STONE SKIN IN HIS MASSIVE TALONED HAND.

[lilyofthedrills.livejournal.com]

Yuri, carried like a sack of potatoes, goes all trembly with relief. "Th-thank you miss..."

[unsc-rabbit.livejournal.com]

Finally setting them all down she looks them over again, shaking her head, a slight smirk curling up the corners of her lips. "Didn't I tell you? There had to be some reason that statue was there."

But hey, she still saved you didn't she? And she may not show it, but she's fussing over you. "Did any of you get hurt?"

[toariversodeep.livejournal.com]

"No," Roxie says, as she tugs a fragment of stone shrapnel out of her copiously-bleeding forehead.

[not_the_philistine]

This is Goliath's "oh shit" face.

"You're bleeding."

Okay, really? He could not have done ANYTHING to stop that. But there was that whole episode where he was locked in a cage until he took responsibility for his actions and -

"Stay here. I will find you a doctor."

[toariversodeep.livejournal.com]

"I'm fine," Roxie objects. If she's in pain, her face isn't really showing it. "Watch."

Her forehead's already starting to turn into a clotted mess. Eww.

[in-venting.livejournal.com]

Sherry wrinkles her nose at Roxie, and takes a step behind Kelly, away from the giant purple monster. "I'm okay," There's a little scratch on her shoulder, and she's lucky nothing else happened to her, really.

Then again, this is also the same little girl that fell twenty feet, twice, and was perfectly fine.

[not_the_philistine]

To his credit, he's a very calm monster.

"You . . . are not human?"

Coulda fooled him.

His eyes have adjusted a little bit more, so Goliath unfurls his wings a bit more, enough to see and be seen, but not enough to let the sun fall on his face full-force. Had he known it was this . . . burny, he'd have been less curious to see it when not wearing the Eye of Odin.

[unsc-rabbit.livejournal.com]

Kelly, noticing that the 'monster' doesn't seem to be a threat, and that it can speak, doesn't place herself to protectively in front of the children anymore. But she is wary.

Turning to Sherry she examines the scratch and ruffles the girl's hair. "Sorry about grabbing you like that."

[in-venting.livejournal.com]

"It's o--" Sherry begins, but then flails at Kelly, "Not the hair! Not the hair!" WHAT WAS IT WITH PEOPLE AND MESSING UP HER HAIR!?

[toariversodeep.livejournal.com]

"Kind of not human," Roxie says, discarding the bit of shrapnel.

She shuffles a little closer, to get a better look at Goliath.

[unsc-rabbit.livejournal.com]

The Spartan quickly pulls her hand back as if it's been burned, giving the girl a O_o look. "Uh...sorry?"

[lilyofthedrills.livejournal.com]

"That's why you should tie your hair back, Sherry-chan." Yuri's pigtails, while a little childish even by child standards, are pretty much muss-proof.

[not_the_philistine]

Goliath returns her curiosity.

"A halfling?" like Xanatos' son. Of the blood of Oberon, but of the blood of humans as well? Perhaps.

[toariversodeep.livejournal.com]

"I'm not half of anything," Roxie says. :|

She glances over at Sherry and Yuri. "I agree."

[not_the_philistine]

Goliath is indifferent to hair ties.

"I meant no offense." :| right back at you.

[in-venting.livejournal.com]

"I don't have enough hair for that," Sherry reminds them and runs hers fingers through her hair to straighten it again. She did, however, have more than enough hair to mess up.
