slow mend

She felt disoriented and like complete shit. She had meant to go home, but with ooze dripping from her eyes, the pounding headache, and the weird, sick feelings she'd been having the last few days made it difficult for her to navigate. The mushrooms that had been growing out of her right ear had spread, and she swore she felt pressure around her other ear but she hadn't checked yet to see if another one was growing. How was that possible, anyway? Her belly rumbled with hunger, empty now that she had thrown up everything she possibly could until she couldn't anymore. Damn it all! She blamed Sparrow's mushroom brew! And then her little fling with that handsome star-clad male...that probably didn't help things.

It had been a few(?) weeks since then...and through the fog in her brain, she was trying to come up with a logical reason for what was happening to her. Wouldn't the mushroom brew have affected her sooner than this? Or was it the spores that had been floating around in the air? Whatever the case, she felt like absolute shit and now, apparently, was very confused as to where she was. She approached the borders of what she thought were Aerie's...but she wasn't aware they weren't until she was a few steps past the border. She stopped, eyes screwed shut as her nose and eyes leaked a dark purple ooze, and when she opened them, she didn't quite recognize this place...confusion hit her like a freight train and she started to panic. She couldn't smell anything with this purple crap stuffed in her nose, where the fuck was she!?

Frantically looking around, she spotted another figure not too far from her and she lumbered over to her, head shaking as she coughed. Oh, how her chest hurt with that...she practically stumbled to a stop several feet from the stranger, hackles on end as she tried to make sense of things. "Y-you! Where am I!? What happened to Aerie!?" She coughed again, purple ooze dripping from her maw as she did so.
