Should we...? I guess it could be a light source...

[scalesfromeyes]

It's an egg, Viridian. We have to take care of it.

[aberdevine]

You get to carry it if you want it. Maybe you should just keep it in the box and carry it like that.

[scalesfromeyes]

If you're really going to be like that, we could always use the bags, right? But I think we should be more careful with an egg.

[aberdevine]

It's really bright.

[scalesfromeyes]

[rolls her eyes and picks up the egg before moving off towards the sound of water.]

Really, Viridian.

[aberdevine]

I'm just saying!

[ the water is actually a small clear stream that runs from somewhere across the field into a bush of bright red berries. The berry bush is pretty tall but possibly you could wiggle through it . . . but who knows what lies past it? ]

[aberdevine]

Now what... go for the trees instead?

[scalesfromeyes]

[picking a berry and tasting it '-']

Oh… I suppose, if you'd like. But children like food.

[dramatispersonae]

[ tastes like plum '-' ]

[aberdevine]

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--?
