Hold on I gotta squeeze out a tiny bit more plot first

Mina was still mulling over her bizarre encounter as she entered her apartment. She still wasn't sure she did the right thing just leaving her there, but what were her alternatives? She couldn't risk bringing her home, and if she turned the woman over to the police she'd probably never figure out what her whole deal was. At least she had all evening to work out something to do with her.

Abby was in a different cosplay tonight. Her D&D group must have been streaming again because she was taking selfies in the living room in plastic bikini armor with a couple of pointy elf ears poking from beneath a leaf-green wig and an impractically large plastic war hammer slung over her back. Her antenna might have spoiled her look, but she had creatively covered it up with a couple of paper cutouts in the shape of those angry anime veins. "Another successful crusade as Neia Hammerbitch, inspirer of bodypillows, slayer of nerds?" she asked teasingly while Abby took pictures for her fans. Abby gave her a derisive look between poses.

"You play an edgelord warlock, you don't get to make fun of me," she reminded her drily. Mina chuckled, glad to be back home and relaxing with her girlfriend after today's insanity. "But great Cthulhu must be appeased! All will succumb to madness when the drowned god rises from the depths and remakes the world in the image of his twisted dreamings! Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu r'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn!" she proclaimed (and mispronounced) as seriously as she could manage, collapsing across the couch with an arm thrust dramatically skyward. The two broke into a giggling fit as the day's tension faded away.

"So how did it go?" Aaaaand the tension came right back. "Wellll, the whole hypnotic clothing thing worked perfectly. It's just..." she explained the whole, 'crazy knight lady trying to **** her' situation. It sounded even less real telling someone else about it, even though she lived through it.

"So you got attacked by a sword wielding maniac and didn't call the police?" Abby sounded incredulous after taking a minute to digest the info. "Well I couldn't exactly hypnotize her to forget about me," Mina retorted defensively. "And I don't know what she would've told them. And I panicked a bit," she admitted.

Abby looked as if she was about to protest more, but then just sighed. "Not much we can do about it now." Her glum look turned sly as she gave Mina a sidelong look. "At the very least, maybe we could do something to help you feel better after all of that," she said, stretching suggestively as she plopped down on the couch beside her mistress.
