Gore warning...plus ridiculousness
Jasmine and Grace eat the cookies as they walked back to the cave.
Jasmine: "Go on. Sit. You love this show...hopefully."
Grace: *sits against a large stone* "What's it called?"
Jasmine: "I call it 'How Does The Mannequin Die?'. Violet! I need you to bring in the mannequin my love!"
Violet walks in with what looked like a corpse, and held it for Jasmine to see. The corpse was pale and his shirt was completely covered in blood.
Jasmine: "Why are his eyes missing?"
Violet: *looks at Jasmine with a guilty face* I'm sorry.
Pixie: *sniffs the 'mannequin'* That doesn't smell like a mannequin...
Violet: *growls* Shut up Pixie.
Jasmine: *takes a deep breath, then smiles* "Now, I know what you're thinking. This mannequin here looks a lot like Elliot. But I can assure you child that it is not Elliot. He died after a tree fell on him."
Grace: "Why does it look like it's bleeding?"
Jasmine: "Well it was supposed to be a surprise effect, but some dragon had to ruin it."
Grace: "How did you do the effects?"
Jasmine: "...That will be revealed another day. Ahem. Welcome my beloved audience! Today is a special day! I have brought unto you another mannequin for your entertainment! But that's not why. Oh no no no. You see, it is tonight that you shall decide HOW DOES THE MANNEQUIN DIE!"
Pixie: I wanna play with it.
Jasmine: "Shall I burn it?"
Violet: YES!
Jasmine: "What if...I did off with its head? That's actually my personal favorite to be honest...perhaps I shall give him to the dragons as a toy."
Pixie: *bounces excitedly* PLAY PLAY PLAY PLAY
Grace: "What does it mean 'off with its head'?"
Jasmine: "Would you like to find out?"
Grace: *tilts her head curiously*
Jasmine: *picks up a long crystal shard*
Grace: *looks at Jasmine with fear*
Jasmine: "Relax. If I wanted to kill you, you'd be dead already."
Jasmine takes the shard and cuts off the mannequin's head. And the body fell to the ground. Blood poured out onto the ground.
Violet: *flaps her wings happily*
Jasmine: *bows, then looks at Grace* "Are you having fun yet?"
Grace: "I guess. But it looked a little too much like you were killing someone."
Jasmine: *stands straight* Not what I was expecting. "Umm..."
Pixie flicks the corpse out of cave. Violet burns it.
Violet: ....Can I eat this guy's head?
Jasmine: "Go ahead Violet."
Grace: "Wait, so that was an actual corpse?"
Jasmine: "Yes it was."
Grace: "Why?"
Jasmine: "Don't ask why."
Grace: "Okay..."
Jasmine: "How about this, why don't we go to the docks. The sea dragons often come out to sing at this time."
Grace: *tilts her head* "Sea dragons?"
Jasmine: "Mmhm. Now come on."
Pixie: Can I come?
Jasmine: "Not this time."
Grace and Jasmine walk to the docks. The storm was starting to calm down.
Grace: "I've never stood outside in a storm before..."
Jasmine: "Feels nice doesn't it?"
Grace: "I guess it does. So why are you always angry?"
Jasmine: "Well, a lot of things happened when I was a kid. I lost my parents. And I got abused by my mother. I was scared. I was...angry."
Grace: "You don't ever look scared."
Jasmine: "That's because I'm hiding it. I'm hiding it behind my anger."
Grace: "Oh..."
Jasmine: *sighs deeply* "Why are you so talkative around me?"
Grace: *shrugs* "I don't know."
Grace walks closer to the end of the dock.
Jasmine: "Don't get too close to the edge."
Grace: "Why?"
Jasmine: "They'll pull you under."
A person comes walking towards them. Jasmine stares with cautious eyes.
Jasmine: "Who are you?"
Person: "Who I am should not concern you...princess Jasmine."
Jasmine: "Elliot? Wait... but...didn't you die?"
Elliot: "Your plans are too obvious. I used a clone."
Jasmine: I forgot he could do that...
Elliot: "It's about time you get what you deserve."
Jasmine pulled Grace towards her and wrapped her arms around Grace.
Elliot: "And when I tell the whole town of what I've done tonight, THEY WILL PRAISE--"
At that moment a dragon rose from the sea and grabbed Elliot, and took him down underneath. Jasmine and Grace stare in shock.
Jasmine: *shakes her head then pushes Grace off of her* "Let go of me."
Grace: *squeals happily*
Jasmine: *looks at Grace* "What?"
Grace: "YOU HUGGED ME!"
Jasmine: "I wasn't hugging you."
Grace: "Sure you weren't."
Jasmine: "I was merely using you as a shield."
Grace: "That's not what a good friend does!"
Jasmine: "Oh yeah? Well guess what? I like not being a good friend!"
Grace: "Why?"
Jasmine: "Because I can protect myself. Now then, let's go home before everyone in the castle becomes worried about my disappearance."
Grace: "They're not going to let me stay."
Jasmine: "They will if I do. I just have to tell them that I changed my mind about you being my friend."
Grace: "You have to act like it too."
Jasmine: "Unfortunately you have a point."
Jasmine and Grace walk back to the castle.
Grace: "So where am I going to be sleeping at?"
Jasmine: "My room."
Grace: "Ooh"
Jasmine: "On the floor."
