[ it's not like lumine to wander into one of the forests surrounding the trench, but her impatience and her lack of self-preservation lately have pulled her towards the woods between gaze and cellar door. a part of her wanted to reach the school of mutter and consult their library and archives for more information about the trench, but she's eventually wandered off of the path and into the trees instead.
a bad idea, given the current circumstances—though in her defence, she's been less inclined to listen lately to the stories and legends surrounding the city. if she had only paused, however, then she might have at least prepared herself for what's to come.
like a tree suddenly hugging her, its bark seemingly transforming into thick syrup that keeps her trapped in its grasp. every movement she does only makes it worse for her, her dress and hair and even her sword getting caught in its sticky substance. lumine grits her teeth as she tries to free herself, tugging at her limbs despite her joints protesting. ]
Get off me—
[ she hears something pop just as she manages to wrench one arm free, sharp, blinding pain lancing across her entire shoulder. guess who just dislocated her shoulder in the process. ]
sorry for the delay!! i've been super busy for the past few days
