And the wind smells slow and sour when it blows

Who: The Once-ler and YOU!
What: Nightmares
When: Friday
Where: HIS MIND
Rating: Uh PG/PG13.


[You'd be forgiven for thinking you've entered a pleasant dream, rather than a horrific nightmare here. You've arrived in Truffula Valley, a peaceful, wonderful place that almost puts Paradisa's created beauty to shame. Forest creatures are scurrying about, singing and playing and generally going about their business.

The sky is bright blue, the sun is shining and the waters of the nearby river and pond are crystal clear. And most importantly there are miles upon miles upon miles of Truffula trees. For anyone the Once-ler described these trees to, he wasn't kidding. The touch of their tufts really is softer than silk and that comforting, wonderful smell? Fresh butterfly milk baby.

Nothing good lasts forever, and there's a general unease about the place. A disjointed sort of feel, like someone's putting on a play and you've already been told everyone dies at the end

See? You've changed from back then. If you were the same you wouldn't care so much.

No, but it's still better than being out here. Did you live here, all alone?

Business?

[The word that comes out is a full-on growl. Even his tail lashes behind him.]

And what business have you ruining the lives of innocent creatures? Do you not see what you've done?

[She eyes it warily, and begins to follow him.] Is it safe...?

That's true. Not even wizards are allowed to drastically change the past.

[a snort]

Whatever, I'd worry about yourself more if my hair starts falling out too.

[She walks quietly next to him for a while after that.] What happened to everybody else?

[Oooh, creepy factory. How terrifying.

Dairine was just passing through, hoping to escape from her own nightmare for a while, when a GIANT axe machine stops in front of her. Dude, overcompensation much? Dairine was
planning on getting out of the way when Once-ler starts insulting her.

Uh, yeah. No way she's moving now.

You call this progress?

Let's see what comes of that.

[In the meantime...]

I'm not. I'm far from an activist.

[ Uru is not... sure... what's happening here. Is that Once-ler? This doesn't look anything like the forest near the castle. These trees are way too... too strange looking. Strange, albeit beautiful.

She makes her way forward anyway. ]


Once-ler?
wilder: (who cares about details! (sheena))

Please, I'm too cool for angry mobs.
