Cobalt, by the sound of it. Mushroom is busy cowering.

Why is this a problem again?

Why scare her when we can simply stare?

Kilgamayan · « **Reply #790 on:** February 29, 2012, 08:10:35 PM »

Staring begets discomfort. Scaring begets intimidation.

theshirn · « **Reply #791 on:** February 29, 2012, 08:22:26 PM »

And how is intimidating Mushroom Drop going to help us in any way? Besides, staring enough will probably let us keep the loot. Intimidation will ensure that the faeries remember us, and not in a good way.

Staring hasn't helped them forget us much either. >_>

I wasn't trying to intimidate anyway, that was just the best response I could get out before I had to go back to work. I was more questioning why we cared that she was scared.
