Well. I seem to be in the forest now...if one can call such a place a forest.

Shiemi is totally leading on her three best friends!

Despite their...grave appearance, it appears the trees are still- ... adopted. His parents haven't even told him! - quite capable of causing trouble. My apologies, Shiemi and...ah, Billy.

That said, I have no landmarks. The trees and undergrowth look like...well, like skeletons. Bone trees, if you will.

I think Moro's getting kind of lonely, she's almost never at her den anymore.

How thoughtful of you to be concerned. [No, see, that deadpan tone is not a nice one, Nephry. Not at all.] At any rate, I could use some assistance in getting...somewhere recognizable, please.

[Then, they all start at once. Prepare yourselves, Luceti, she's walked into a small ring of very excitable trees!]

Hey! The Avatar's seemed really happy this month, right? But he also feels guilty now that Luceti's granted him his secret wish for a family.
You know all of Molly Carpenter's tattoos are lick and stick, right?
I heard that Lowell guy has a thing for cat ears.
Adell and Fenimore keep peeping on each other's baths!

Do stop that. I'm trying to send a message. [The trees are so not interested, Nephry. In fact...]

I heard Nephry was forced to marry a guy she hardly knew!

That's enough!

[But she can't close the journal. How else will she know if people reply? All she can do is keep walking and hope to get away from these creepy skeleton trees.]

[[ooc: Feel free to be actiony-lost with her too! She would welcome the company for sure. We can be plenty random if that floats your luceti boat!]]

[Oh, it's Nephry... He probably shouldn't be surprised to see her out here. If he's getting sent to strange places, so should other people.]

This is the forest?

[Action]

[silversnowfall]

On its good days. You can still hear it talking, even though it looks like this.

[Action]

[drawnbythesword]

I've never heard the trees talk before. Do you think it's part of the experiment?

[Action]

[silversnowfall]

Yes. You'll have to forgive my tendency to label everything odd "part of the experiment", however. ...That's how life feels here.

[Action]

[drawnbythesword]

With how things are here, that's probably a wise thing to think.

[Action]

[silversnowfall]

Experiment or not, we certainly can't stay here. Do you mind some company while you try to find your way out?

[Action]

[drawnbythesword]

Of course. I didn't plan on leaving you out here by yourself.

[Action]

[silversnowfall]

I think I can handle a few talkative trees.

[Half-smile. She appreciates his concern. They're just not up against blizzards or snow treants or anything terrible like that.]

[Action]

[drawnbythesword]

But who knows what else might be affected by this experiment? I wouldn't want you to end up somewhere dangerous.
