❧ the inner garden

You stumble into yet another garden, spinning and off-kilter and peculiar. This space is dominated by a massive waterfall pouring from the sky, casting a heavy wet mist into the air. The foliage is wild and overgrown, untamed and untrimmed. The flowers and leaves seem incredibly real, but everything else is offputtingly two-dimensional—rocks and boulders are papier-mâché, the stones beneath your feet are nothing but cardboard puzzle pieces, and flimsy trees hang from the ceiling by string.

Mobiles of birds and bugs swing around, hung from tree branches, spinning in the breeze, casting wild shadows. Crooked stacks of books—some short, some as tall as trees themselves—line the path, and a persistent, faint drumming sound echoes through the quiet space.

Under the waterfall, there is a single doorway.

[glances at the books, tempted, but reaches out to touch one of the flowers instead; for anyone who looks he's kind of mussed and distraught and embarrassed]

. . . well.

Yeah you seem kind of ruffled, it's not totally uncute on someone like you. Anyways, I'm sorry if it was awful but you know that's how it goes sometimes.

Why are you . . . talking to me . . .

Because you always have such wonderful reactions, and besides that I'm a knight so I think I'm actually supposed to check up on others?

Are you sure? I mean, I guess you seem fine for you...
adropintheocean: (you've been waiting long enough.)

[completely flat]

Can you please leave me alone?

I can, if that's what will help you right now. No fun poking at you when you're already riled up.
