First of all, that's not what I wrote up. That's an apathetic helping of her.

2, you seemed to be the only person to care about Forgotten's liking of you.
3, I wouldn't want you to change your vote because I prewrote up a scene. I can write another one, I'm not bothered by it. I like writing.

They're not. That's not what I prewrote.
[X] move her to a more comfortable position against a wall or something.
[X]Continue on with plans to try and freshen up using the teleportation method?

I'm not sure how much I Like that everything switched right after my mention of having prewritten a scene.
I can't be sure if you all felt the need to switch because I'd said that? Something I disprove of. And am glad it's not the scene I had prewritten.
Or because the original voters noticed the new vote because of my tally and were like "ya, that works."

I'll start writing up the update soon. In the meantime, here's the scene I did write up, as an Omake.

Omake: [x]Ignore the Skeleton, she can't be ok
-----
You decide that there's no way in hell she's ok, that skeleton's a psychopath. Maybe he's testing to see if you'll let her die off his word, maybe he's just a fucking nut. It doesn't really matter, because you're not gonna fall for it.
You look around to make sure he's gone, and then run to her prone form. On the ground her blood appears to have made itself into a sort of design. Almost looks like some weird lettering, something ancient at-least. Yet after a second of looking at it recognition suddenly sits in. Well, not recognition per say, it's not a memory. It's more like you just know what it says.
'Help me'
You blink, and suddenly it is a small pool of blood again, no letters, no design, just, blood.
On the next blink it says something again.
'Come closer'
And then it's a pool again. It hits you that strange delusion or not, she needs help, and this isn't helping.
You gently roll her over, making sure to keep her head stable. She's still bleeding. Her nose is obviously broken, her half open eyes appear to have filled with blood judging by how red they are. And you can't help but feel the need to examine them closer. She looks like absolute shit, but oddly enough, not nearly as bad as you'd expect her to. In the corner of your eye the blood changes wording again.
'Save me, come closer'
And having felt the need already, you move to examine her closer, when suddenly the book in your hand heats up. You look at the page and it says in bold. "Run!"
[]Run!
[]Save me, come closer
[]Write-in
OMAKE END!

I switched my vote because it was basically the same thing, and I thought it seemed reasonable.

Would have been, ya.
But that's an omake, no need to vote on it. I'll just tell ya what happens.
You run, she suddenly lunges and the pole of a scythe smashes into her face. "Didn't I tell you she'd be fine? Kids these days..."
You don't run, you die. Game over.

What if we had wrote in stab her? or teleport?

As you don't have anything to stab her with besides your book, you would have proceeded to stab her with your book. Which would have been... pointless.
If you had voted to teleport, a roll would have been done, given your skill in teleporting, the DR being 85, for if you teleported fast enough.

You decide that the Skeleton probably isn't going to let her die. You remember he was in that photo with her, with the party hats and everything. So he obviously cares enough about her... ya, she'll be fine. Maybe you should move her to a more comfortable position at-least?
You walk over to her body, still lamenting your lack of shoes on this damn floor. And your knees hurt too from when you fell on them earlier. Why would anyone make a floor this damn hard? What is this material?
When you reach her, you gently grab her prone form from behind, and slowly drag her to the wall. You keep the back of her head stable on your shoulder, and very quickly reach the wall. Once you've put her form against it, you see the blood on her face appears to have made a design of some sort, although you don't stick around to figure out what it means. You do however admire how well it fits with her newly glowing red eyes . As you start to walk away you hear a groan from her, and you respond in an attempt to be reassuring. "You'll be fine." 'Ow, this damn floor hurts... Need shoes!'
When you're suitably away, you resume your quickly made plans this morning to find a way to freshen up. You think it through, 'ways to groom..' And then it hits you. Reality here appears to be bent by perception. You should be there, not here. This item should be there, not here. Pockets, poof the book is gone, hand, poof the book is in your hand.
If the same idea is applied to grooming, you should be able to instantly groom yourself.
But you need a mental image.. Ah, yes! Your 16th birthday party. Your red hair was shining, your golden eyes were simply glowing. And best yet, you had shoes! Maybe they'll come with the image!
'Then, not now. Then, not now. Then, not now.'
You can feel it, your energy, it's flowing around you, swirling. You can feel it reinforcing your hair, bring life back to it, before it moved onto your eyes, and then further into your-why did everything go bla-CRUNCH
---
You wake up with Rose leaning over you, she looks healthier, much healthier. No blood on her face, although if the pressure on your face is to mean anything, it probably moved onto you. Her eyes are green again, do have to ask how she got that pretty red.
But most importantly, she looks pretty pissed off, and.. suprisingly hungry.
"Really? You couldn't have waited to try and kill yourself for when I'm not healing? It took everything I had to give to you instead of take when I'm STARVING!"
Ok, confusing. What does she mean by give? Take? Why is her blood on your face? And are those tears welling up in her eyes?
But more importantly, kill yourself?

You realize I'm going to use that EXACT wording right?
Just um, making sure you get that.

Edit: Not that there's anything wrong with that.. Of course.
It's a perfectly valid question, wrote in an intellectual way...
