((OOC: *is utterly DYING at River's summation of Mayday* This response took so long because I kept having to write May's IC response and keeping my OOC laughter out of it.))
The only warning May got before the sheet was snatched from her was a slight tingle of warning. She turned her free side in that direction, instinctively trying to shield Tara while supporting her. Of course, that only made it easier for River to grab the prize. Her fears were slightly allayed when no one else seemed alarmed at the strange girl's appearance or her theatrics; just harmless weirdness and par for the course around here.
“Sun and shade and ground and green. All you need in one place. Ants not invited, but spiders welcomed.”
Or not.
Startled, May could only gape at River in shock as the other girl sat down. First Faith, now this. (Do I have it tattooed on my forehead or something? Or did I grow four more arms when I wasn't looking?) It wasn't as seemingly random as Faith's nickname, though; the way the girl stared at her it was like she was looking right into her.
River's next words were even more disturbing, and May's frustration turned to concern as she pieced the imagery together. Had DHARMA experimented on River, too? She'd only heard about Rose, Ami, Claire and Daisy, but it had been a whirlwind since she'd been dumped here and she could have missed something.
(Daddy issues?) May opened her mouth to retort, then closed it again. "Well, that's one way of putting it," she murmured wryly. She imagined her mother's reaction and snorted - Mary Jane would probably fall over laughing at that one.
Tara stumbled a bit, leaning more heavily on May as she regained her footing. "I think I need to sit down now."
Grateful for the distraction, May set down her bundle of goodies on the sheet and helped Tara ease herself down slowly into a comfortable sitting position. "That makes two of us."
