[SWE] The Punchiest Pool Party

NOE

You know there's many different ways that you can kill the one you love

Noe lunged for Flora.

And she missed.

Snarling with fury, she turned to try again - but then Koa was hurtling towards her, followed by Kaisel, and Noe dodged them both with almost superhuman speed. Watching them sprawl into the sand might have been amusing, in another setting, but here, now, she had more important things to do. But before she could defend Pierce and Vox, Sohalia was coming for her, pulling something out of her bag - 

Something drenched in red and gold. Something that the Luminary held out, thorns towards Noe, and lunged with -

And there was a pinch - no, a prick - and suddenly, all the violet washed out of Noe's vision and she staggered towards Soh, paling beneath her tan. "I - you -"

Chaos unfolded around them. A man she didn't recognize - and how could she, when his face was covered in waving tentacles and too many eyes? - approached, and Noe screamed hysterically as he punched Kaisel. "What's wrong with his FACE?" she shrieked, utterly lost. Then it clicked.

"HE'S INFECTED!"

And then Kaisel was ushering her along, towards Haulani, and Noe was all too happy to go along.

---

Noe is cured! She sees Liam, screams that he's infected, and runs away. Noe out!

The slowest way is never loving them enough
