[This is too much. This is absolutely too much. Not for the fact that her clothes are... well, too minimal and exposed for her tastes but it's just everything happening at once. Her feet sink down into the water and soft ground beneath her bare feet more than easily enough. Even if the hems of her pant legs are somewhat above her ankles, they too are soon sopping wet. She's thoroughly unaware of the label on her shirt.
She stands for a moment, thoroughly out of sorts and trying to right her mind enough to act. Don't panic. Panicking won't help. With that in mind the demon takes a few deep breathes, forcing her shoulders to relax.
Soon she feels calmer and more assured. With the sound of her own heart drumming a little less within her ears, she nods to herself firmly.]
We'll just have to find a way out then. Gin-o!
[One can hear a screech coming from the sky before the white hawk himself descends briefly.]
See what you can find above. If you spot dry land, let me know and try to lead me there.
[And with a screech of acknowledgement, the hawk flies off once again.]
[PHASE IV] [Yukina hasn't done very badly for herself so far. The shack was investigated thoroughly but the health drinks were given a somewhat dubious look by the demon. In the end she had left them alone, unsure of whether to chance herself on them or not. Human poisons couldn't hurt her but given the state of the Princess the last time she saw her, it seemed wise to question drinks simply left sitting in the open in a somewhat hostile environment.
... That was unfair of her though. The environment was more discomforting than hostile. She hadn't run into anything yet.
Naturally this won't do. Now that she's hit that extra swampy part of the swamp, the peace can't last for too long. She's there long enough to call to Gin-o and have the hawk settle on her bare fist before the swamp nearby begins to bubble and her senses prickle with the sensation of something being close at hand.
In the end Yukina barely leaps back in time to avoid that new friend of hers bursting from the mud and gunk, pelting her right in the side of the head with a particularly large glob of it. Gin-o screeches in irritation and takes off at the same time as Yukina drops into a crouched stance, breathless and now more or less hunkering down in the mud.]
What is that!
[She doesn't get to wonder for that long, given how the thing is already whipping out one of it's tendrils in pursuit.]
[BONUS] [And without so much as a 'We're sorry!' or 'Thank you for playing!', Yukina is back. Back, absolutely filthy and looking all the more confused for the experience.]
I...
[It was part of this... game or whatever it was, right? A waking dream. So then...
In the end Yukina decides to think over this more after cleaning up. Before she can though, she finds herself in possession of a very small tree. She holds it up curiously, examining it.]
A bonsai tree?
[A bonsai tree. A bonsai tree sprouting absurdly tiny dildos.]
