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!]]

I would have to wonder what they would say about me, honestly. [ if only he knew.. ]

But I haven't heard anything from them so far, so the chance they might have is still up in the air.

[silversnowfall]

What's your name? If I hear something, I would tell you.

[deceases]

I don't know which one they'll use, so either Natsuno or Yuuki, I guess. It'll be annoying either way if they end up calling me 'Natsuno'..

[silversnowfall]

You'll find it annoying if they use your name? Or is there another person here also named Natsuno?

[deceases]

When they use my name. [ not that he likes telling people, but if it will make them refrain from using his name.. ] It's really annoying.

[silversnowfall]

[Maybe that's some kind of odd convention in his world.]

What would you prefer they call you?

[deceases]

Whatever. Call me by either of my last names, Yuuki or Koide, or just call me something else. As long as it's not my first name, I don't care.

[silversnowfall]

I'll keep that in mind. In the event that the trees do talk about you, I doubt I'll be able to change what they say.

[deceases]

It's not like you can exactly have a conversation with a tree after all, right? It'd be like talking to a wall.

[silversnowfall]

Perhaps they think similar things about us.

[deceases]

Maybe they should try to talk to us more often then instead of just spreading stupid rumors.

[silversnowfall]

Outside the bounds of this experiment, I don't think they have a language we'd understand.

[deceases]

How do you know? Ever tried talking to one?

[silversnowfall]

Not specifically, no. Have you?

[deceases]

I have better things to spend my time on rather than wasting it with talking to trees which can't talk back either way.

[silversnowfall]

Mm, I see. I will still let you know if I hear anything about you.

[deceases]

... Thanks. I guess I should at least say that much.

[silversnowfall]

You're welcome. Yuuki, right?

[deceases]

Yeah, Yuuki's fine.
