The Great Escape

"When I came into the room, I told the man that a lady would like to see him; to which he simply answered: 'Why?' 'She is going through the house, and wants to see every one in it,' I answered. 'Oh very well,'he said; 'let her come in, by all means; but just wait a minute till I tidy up the place.' His method for tidying was peculiar: he simply swallowed all the flies and spiders in the boxes before I could stop him. It was quite evident that he feared that he feared, or was jealous of, some interference. when he had got through his disgusting task, he said cheerfully: 'Let the lady come in.'" --from Dracula, by Bram Stocker

((OOC: Ruby here. As you may have guessed, i had some difficulty finding a meaningful quote to go with what I had written, so I found one about eating bugs, which could be said to relate slightly with what is written here. Judge for yourself. In any case, this quote comes from one of my all time favorite books, Dracula, and is about one of my all time favorite characters within that book, which is the main reason I put it in here))

The room was dark and drear, and Myrtle could hear Vera snoring lightly close by, while she tried vainly to fall asleep. Myrtle rolled onto her left side. Then she rolled onto her right side. She rolled back onto her left side. She tried lying on her stomach with her face in her pillow, but this too failed because it made her nose hurt, and she couldn't breath at all that way. The worst thing that happens when you cant fall asleep, but you stay in bed anyway, is that for no reason at all, your feet start feeling really hot and sweaty. Myrtle the unfortunate was experiencing this at that very moment. Suddenly she couldn't stand it any longer, and sat bolt upright in bed. she but her feet onto the cold wooden floor, and they felt much better.she followed up this motion by getting the rest of herself out of bed as well, then getting dressed, putting shoes on her ever so much happier feet, and walking quietly out the door. she just had to go do something, she just couldn't lie in bed with hot feet for the rest of the night without sleeping. So, out of lack of anything else to do, she went out in search of the guy she had seen in the bar that night.

Myrtle went out to the stables to go get Transjotr. She may be a witch in training, but she still wasn't planning on going out in the middle of the night in the streets of the town alone. Although most of her attempts at training Tranjostr to be an attack goat had failed, she figured it couldn't hurt to bring him along just in case. she took him everywhere anyway. If anything, all the bad drunk people would be too weirded out because she had a pet goat to bother her.

Myrtle went quietly out of the now quite tavern, and pushing open the heavy wooden door, stepped out into the warm night air. It was a nice night, warm and clear, with fire flies buzzing all around, and fairies buzzing along with them. Transjostr, who had a peculiar habit of eating bugs, snapped at the fireflies and fairies alike. Myrtle started heading down the main street in town, and out away into the country.
