Snippet #1538881

Alyss was brought back into the physical world with a resounding thump. Her eyes opened, and she blinked.
"Did I lay down-" she stopped, licked her teeth, and then looked around. "That's new. New taste." She ran her tongue along her lips, still lying down. "Metallic." She turned her head to look at the man with the staff.
"Hi," she began pleasantly, " no need for the big scary stick, I think we'll be fine without it. Oh, and I've never seen you before!" She lay straight with a grin for about two seconds. Alyss looked back at Jinx. "You don't look so well - and actually - you should stop that before you fall over!" The shifter moved her arms, supposedly trying to brush Jinx's hands away. She gave a little laugh. "Why am I on the ground?" She stood, swayed, then kneeled over. "Oh. Oh. That makes sense! I shouldn't do that then." She lay back down, content for another two seconds, with that grin on her face. "Ha. Ha .. hahaha! That's funny. I must've fallen down. And what's with the thing? The blue thing. He's big," she giggled, "really tall. I could grow that tall. I could grow soooo taaaaalll!"
She continued to babble on senselessly. Her normal behavior was gone. So she stared at the sky, grinning, her hands constantly tugging, twisting or fraying the edges of her clothes erratically.

"I think, when all of it is over, I think I'll find that giant - blue - armadillo. And I shall rule the world! Ha!" Her grin faded, and she blinked. She spoke, again, in a rather odd tone. "Yeah."
