Welcome to Gaia! ::

Was it? The tape itself wasn't really that intresting, it was an incomprehensible string of clips at best, and with the consequences not really worth the risk. But still....

"Yeah. It was Winnie. 'Cause now your not in this trouble on your own, better to be in messes with friends, yeah? 'Sides, now you don't need to feel any guilt over accidentally showing this to that ghoul."

She never had caught the name of the monster who'd given her a copy of her copy on Alwines request. Still, Mandys reasoning held in her head, better in together than alone, they'd make it with each others help. Nodding, face still grim from what they'd done she got up and ejected her copy of the tape from the player, carefully putting it away in her jacket pocket.

Mandy gave the ghoul a concerned look at her dejected state, she didn't like seeing one of the few people she found tolerable upset. Sighing she sat down onto the floor next to her, leaning against the chair Alwine had sunk through.

"You couldn't have known Win, and she doesn't blame you from what I could tell. I wouldn't if it'd been me, hell I don't blame you now when I watched it with full knowledge of what's coming."

At Alwines desciption of how the tapes energy felt, something Mandy was rather blind to being very much a physically based being, she gained a frown and gave out a thoughtful hum. "Thought of going to one of the teachers with this?"

....though maybe that wasn't a good idea. Who knew what they'd do to Alwine for letting this spread, even if she hadn't meant any harm.

Despite having a very well developed personal space bubble Mandy made an exception for this, she understood that Alwine needed the comfort at the moment and truefully she could use it herself. "Its not wrong of you, she can a bit.... cruel. Makes her an excellent citizen but your right, who knows what she'd do with to the rest of the school, let alone outside the grounds. At least with just us we can keep it contained."

At the talk of what fate awaited them from watching the tape Mandy shifted uneasily, pressing slightly into Alwine. "Best not think on it, it'll only make us fret, nothing we can do."

When Alwine mentioned destroying it Mandy gave her a sharp look. "You know how many tales there are of things gaining more power because you destroy their physical think there are? Just leave it Winnie, we don't want to piss her off more than she is."

Mandys voice slowly trailed off as she saw Alwines shaking. What was happening? Oh Jack No! This soon!?! Scooting slightly in front of Alwine to protect her she frantically looked back and forth between Alwine and the screen, not seeing anything.

"Winnie? What's happening? Is it-" Mandy was cut off with a shocked gasp when Alwine screamed instantly jolting her into action. Crouching she whipped her head back round to the TV screen having taken her eyes off it for just a moment and wavered slightly on the spot.

W-What? A doll?

Well no matter, it's innocent appearance didn't put her at ease, she wasn't letting her guard down after everything Alwine had told her. Giving a warning hiss at it she shifted fully in front of Alwine, ready to rip it with her claws if it so much as twitched.

Although Alwine wouldn’t be able to see it from her position her actions brought a light blush to the Drop Bears cheeks. She’d think about why later but for now she merely tried to repress it so she could focus on the threat in front of her.

As the silence stretched on Mandy become more and more agitated, shifting minutely. Finally her patience snapped, “What do you want of her?”. The question was forceful and laced with just a little bit of anger at the doll and protectiveness towards Alwine. She wanted answers.
