Don't Panic, But...

[sockhopsolly]

Some of the coolest threads come from just putting characters in situations! This meme is a chance to do just that.

How to Play:

1. No blank top-levels. Put a "don't panic, but..." statement in your top-level. Examples:
   • "Don't panic, but my father's coming and I need you to hide me."
   • "Don't panic, but everyone's throwing up."
   • "Don't panic, but I think something just exploded around the corner."
   • "Don't panic, but there's someone following you."
   • "Don't panic, but your shoes clash with that purse really badly."
2. Respond to other people's statements. Maybe you can help them. Maybe you can make the situation worse. Maybe you can't help but panic.

Ah, specific directions from unusual strangers, his favorite.

...he does as instructed.

A gesture of the Medicine Seller's hand pulls the bottom-most drawer of his medicine box open. From it emerges a pair of white scales, trimmed with gold and pink. They hover in the air a moment, before drifting down to perch on the tip of Randolph's outstretched finger.

For a long moment, they seem to stare at him with a pair of red jeweled eyes before tipping forward in an unmistakable bow.

Randolph stares in mingled confusion and wonder for a moment before doing the only thing that makes sense: he bows right back at them.

"Uh, hi there."
