She sprinted along, out of breath and half certain the beast was behind her. Phymi skidded to a stop at the fork for the barest second. Health, or a second chance. Health or a second chance.
If that thing hit her again, it didn't matter how much health she had.
The choice became easy then.
She wanted a chance to survive this chase, no matter how painful it was. And it was painful, Jack it was painful. Phymi was never one to experience FEAR (she was born of it, after all) but she wondered if this was what those humans felt when they were chased by something dark and terrifying. Even if it was in all in good fun, from her side of it.
She grabbed the second chance timer and continued on.

The beast was there again. Faster, more vicious. She felt it snap a hair's breath from her head, and she tried to push faster, she tried.
It snapped down on her head.
She screamed, pain surging through her. She felt her will slip away and her vision went dark. Phymi stumbled and felt as though she was falling. With a rush of energy, the second chance timer surged into effect and she suddenly was very much alive again and not dead. She gasped, air in her lungs and quite able to see and feel.
Thank Jack for that little item. She pushed into her feet and sprinted forward, trying to keep the screams from her mouth. Maybe it would leave her alone if she did.

How she was still alive was beyond her. She started bobbing and weaving, trying to give the beast the slip, to no avail. It snapped again and caught her hand with it's beak.
She shrieked again and tumbled forward. She found her feet and shot forward.
"LEAVE ME ALOOOOOOOONNNEEEEE!"

Reappearing just where she was moments ago, Dreamwatcher only glance to see sure enough the Jabberwock on her tail. Yelping, she takes off running, as fast as she could. Why couldn't she have a the power of going invisible like the Cheshire she met earlier at its tree.
Wrapping her scarf around her neck more, she kept running. She needed to lose this thing, and fast.

Just as everything seemed to be going fairly well, she was of course completely and totally caught offguard. Normally, she would stay and fight, but right now... it was fairly evident that was *not* going to be a good idea. She would usually get on all fours and start running, but this outfit was a little restrictive for that. Her ears docked as she took off on two legs, and she started to run, actually, fairly fast. She must have been afraid enough to not consider this a light jog...

((Chase Part 1, Try 2, Experiment)) SCIENCE found herself watching small, strange creatures running away from her down a path. This felt... familiar? Why did it feel familiar?
SNAP
Oh. That's why.
SCIENCE rolled with the blow, back onto her feet, and started running again, trying to process what had just happened. She'd done this before. And she'd gotten eaten? So, now she was back here?
Interesting!
Would this happen if she died again? There was a way she could find out...
Successful experiments required repetition.
Holding onto her hat, the Hatter spun on one heel and ran back the way she'd come, yelling at the top of her lungs.
"FOR SCIENCE!'
SNAP

HP: 9/30
In a place where memories seemed to be so prevalent, it wasn't too much of a shock to her when she heard the luring voices of her family. She had managed to find a place to hide among the trees, her ears followed the sounds the best they could. Her head remained straight on as she flipped her eye patch up and scanned the forest around her. She attempted to slow her breathing so she could hear better.
Just when she thought she was clear, at least for the moment, she took off again.

Finally the trees gave way and she tumbled over a root into the lighter part of the forest. She hit the deck hard and rolled some feet until she came to a stop.
Phymi curled into a ball and cried for a long time before she picked herself up and wandered off. She barely noticed the loot she acquired, or the level ups.

[ The Chase Part 3 ]
He didn't really have time to stop and think. Forks in the road were probably the worst thing to thrust on a guy running to keep the last of his remaining HP, but all the same he saw it coming and instinctively went toward his dominant side.
Kiin turned slightly to his left and his feet carried him toward the second chance timer at the end of the left path. Not that he had time to celebrate; he had to keep running; the damn jabberwocky was still on his a**.

((Part 1, Try 2))
SCIENCE found herself watching tiny creatures run away from her, and whooped in triumph!
"Data suggests my hypothesis was correct!" she declared, getting the nagging feeling she was forgetting something.
SNAP
Oh right!
Back down at 10 HP, SCIENCE laughed with joy, and started running. The Jabberwock seemed annoyed with her response and took another 3 HP off her life.
This somewhat sobered the Hatter, as she realized that, as interesting as this quest was, she didn't want to be constantly repeating it.
"Well met!" she called back at it. "Last time was a freebie. This time, you've got to earn your meal!"

Pausing only for a moment when she was sure the Jabberwock lost her, she glance around before she kept going. The voices once again picked up, and it was the same voice from before.
"Screehie, you can have all the kisses you want, once you sign the contract..." his words made her want to stop, and she almost did again. Shaking her head, she turns just in time to see the Jabberwock on her heels again, making her take off as fast as she could.

It was quite clear she was nowhere to being safe yet as she kept on the run. Try as she might, her ears and sight gave her no advantage as to who or what this thing was, let alone where it was. All she knew, is that it was effing huge...
She came up quickly to a fork in the road, and without thinking twice, she went left. Most things she chose left first, it was her primary hand. Old habits.
She came across the timer and scooped it up quickly, almost fumbling with the device as her body shook and she panted hard. 'What do you say... what do you say...' she quietly asked as she attempted to find a label. 'Second chance timer...' left her lips when she found it. She had no idea what the hell that meant, but she hoped it would be something good.

Running and getting snapped at by a one-eyed thing, not exactly the perfect dream. Not even near pleasant, in fact. But he ran and hoped and ran and ran and ran some more, ignoring the biting at his heels and the occasional sharp pains he could feel as the thing kept trying to take chunks out of him.
The chase.. he wondered briefly -- very, very, very briefly -- if this is what it felt like to be prey.

((Part 2, Try 2))
Running as fast as she could, SCIENCE again managed to put a little distance between her and the Jabberwock.
And, again, voices began to call out to her.
"Spar with us, Canon!" "Canon, where are you going?" "Tell us about Amityville!" "Come back!"
It sounded like her entire family back there! SCIENCE felt a sudden stab of homesickness. She hadn't seen or talked with them in a long time. No eye-phones in the swamp, and Skarks didn't have fingers to use them anyway. If she looked back, would she get a glimpse of them?
Luckily, she remembered her first encounter with this experience, and kept running. Again, the Jabberwock narrowly missed gobbling her up, just grazing her, instead.

And just like that it came crashing through the woods. It seemed this beast had absolutely no idea what it was even after, or perhaps it was after everything. She barely managed to scramble free without getting a massive tree to the face, and she kept on running. Or trying.
