It was HUGE. She squeaks out sobs between sniffles. How infected was the bite? Will SHE turn into a zombie now? How long does she have left? "Keep it together Penny..." She sobs to herself as she passes Summer, bandages between her teeth. She's dabbing her wound with some disinfected cotton balls. "It won't hurt anymore... It's just a bite..." She looks around and finds some leftover honey from someone's meal. Why she's even out here to begin with, basically. Penny wills the honey to her, then slathers it over the missing flesh. She scratches some sugar off her shoulder on top of the honey, and wraps the bandage around the wound as quickly as possible. She's still sniffling and crying. The last time she's been hurt anywhere nearly as bad as this was when she lost her original arms...

She'd had a chunk bitten out of her too. But the words lost themselves in her throat as she watched the clown slather honey over the wound... That... wasn't normal... or healthy. Or so she assumed. She just stared, needle sticking out of her arm and jaw ajar. Back to Top   ๖ۣValencia Tiao Hero Miss Fortune Now what?

Now she's shocked, remembering the match! "Are you okay!?" She sees the needle. Her face twists into that of internalized pain and revulsion. Her face pales. Even more with her face paint.

She didn't seem too bothered by her half sewn up wound. "Why are you rubbing honey in the wound? That's gonna get infected hun." Back to Top   ๖ۣValencia Tiao Hero Miss Fortune Now what?

Native Americans used to do it! You can look it up if you can't take my word for it!" She perks up throughout the educational possibility, distracted, if momentarily, from imagining what it's like to stitch herself up on her own. "I mean, I trust my physical therapist, who told me about it being better than using sugar..."

"I guess... But I figured I could find out if I can speed up the healing..." She means through sugar manipulation, but she's still gauging how much people figured out about her ability thus far.

She'd say before resuming the stitching of her flesh. She'd wince every time the needle pierced her flesh, fresh blood bubbling forth as she worked. But her hands were swift and her needlework tight and neat. She was well practiced. Back to Top   ๖ۣValencia Tiao Hero Miss Fortune Now what?
