Swamped

You've been awake for a long time. Especially considering the last time you weren't awake, you'd been knocked unconscious rather than having a proper rest.

The shower helped a bit, but you haven't exactly taken it easy since then. And this shield you're lugging around isn't helping.

It's a poor state to show up to a meeting in, especially since you aren't even the one with the needle. Plus, well, you aren't the one who arranged the meeting. So it's going to be awkward all around, especially if Minnie isn't there.

But there's not much you can do about it. Not like you have time for a nap...

All of a sudden, you can't move. Nothing around you seems to be moving, either. But you have this strange feeling like something is getting closer.

Well, it's not like you can get further from it. All you seem to be able to do right now is think.

Lot of good that does you when you can't move. You try thinking at whatever it is, but the strange feeling you're getting doesn't change in any way.

So what are you supposed to do? Hope it doesn't notice you and leaves you alone and maybe lets you move again? Or just make your peace with your fate? Maybe send a quick prayer for your soul.

Prayer. You can pray. You're not all that devout, but your options are pretty limited. And you know the gods do listen sometimes.

Might as well go for it. You take a moment to think about who to direct it to.
