You think we should pick the berries?

[scalesfromeyes]

[…well I certainly am putting them in the bag of holding.]

Mm!

[aberdevine]

[well. okay. I'll let you do that.]

[scalesfromeyes]

[doot doot doot.]

All right… back to the trees, then?

[aberdevine]

Sure. I don't want to have to try to break through bushes unless I have to.

[scalesfromeyes]

[back to the trees it is!]

[dramatispersonae]

[ it is a forest of trees that look oddly like the nail tree ... ]

[scalesfromeyes]

Well, Viridian? Bushes or these trees?

[aberdevine]

A whole forest of them?! How does that even happen?

[scalesfromeyes]

Really, don't make that face. We just have to decide where those items are more likely to be.

[aberdevine]

Let's try the bushes. They sound more like somewhere a "brat" would be interested than this tetanus-inducing excuse for a forest.

[scalesfromeyes]

Haha, all right!

[I suppose we are going back to the bush and trying to make our way through it, then.]

[dramatispersonae]

[ it's about a foot deep, and if you push the branches aside you can get through with minimal scratching and branch breaking.

On the other side is another grassy field with another box. Except the grass is white, the trees are white, the babbling brook is violet . . . the box is black and a green light comes out of the slits in the sides :|a?]

[aberdevine]

... huh. A negative image--?

[scalesfromeyes]

Hmmm…

[kneels down next to the box and covers her eyes.]

Go ahead, Viridian~.

[aberdevine]

Seriously?

[opens the box.]

[dramatispersonae]

[ it's a gently glowing green egg :|a not too bright ]

[aberdevine]

So... two eggs. We're taking this one too, I assume.

[scalesfromeyes]

Hmm… maybe we could put them together?

[aberdevine]

That... sounds like it could potentially be a terrible idea, but honestly, I'm kind of curious.

[picks it up.]

[scalesfromeyes]

[takes out the other egg and touches the shells together, gently.]

[dramatispersonae]

[ a sort of crystal ring sounds out and the bright egg dims a little and the dimmer egg brightens a little. Neither should be painful to look at... ]

[scalesfromeyes]

…oh!

[aberdevine]

Huh. I think that went... well.

[scalesfromeyes]

Hmm… I wonder if we should try the forest after all.

[tucking both eggs into the bag, being careful not to break them.]
