Ingvar, leading to the volcano [Tuesday afternoon]

[fh_krampus]

As the Fandomites fought Krampus' hordes back to where they came from--Ingvar's island--they found themselves with some unexpected allies: Ingvar's very own collection of creepy, creepy dolls. Ingvar was Not Best Pleased with his new friend, Goth!Santa, turning out to be not very nice after all.

They'd be difficult to tell from Krampus' minions, honestly, but if you say some creepy doll on creepy doll action (NOT DIRTY), best to leave it be.

Ingvar's friend were helpful in leading our heroes towards the volcano, at least, once they got past the dive-bombing Christmas tree angels and demonic gingerbread persons/things!

Time to grab our friends, kids, and apologize profusely to the newbies.

Astrid shrugged, too, but her eyes went up.

"So how long do you think it'll be before we can just get out of here?"

Mae looked around and shrugged. “Do you want to wait for any of the people who’re tied up? ‘Cause if not, I think we can probably at least go outside now.”

Astrid could practically feel the pull of outside right now, but, after looking around a little herself, she couldn't help notice someone else standing not too far away, like she was almost waiting. She had her helmet off, but Astrid couldn't quite read her face. Either that, or she was just too afraid to read it too closely.

She shook her head a little, then nudged it a little that way. "I should probably go talk to Sabine first," she said.

Not exactly the best place for a little catch-up chat, but she'd rather just get it out of the way now, when everything still felt mostly horrible, than later when all she'd want to do is get something to eat, take a long shower, and sleep for a very, very long time.

"Oh," Mae said, noticing Sabine for the first time as well. She bobbed her head in a hurried nod. "Yeah, sure. We can talk whenever. You're -- you're back, right?"

"Yeah," said Astrid, wondering just how much of the flinch she felt at those words would actually show on her face, and if it could just be dismissed because of...everything else right now. Her own nod was stiff, miniscule. "I'm back."

Then she felt a heavy, awkward moment, before she started to lean her body away toward Sabine, as if some invisible string was now pulling her that way. "We'll talk later, okay?"

"Yeah," Mae said, bobbing her head even more to cover for the little flash of hurt she felt. "Totally!"

There was no point in being hurt. Astrid had had a bunch of friends here, and Sabine was her roommate. Of course she wanted to talk to her!
