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

Out of the river? Why was it in the river?
ino: (Huh?)

[personal profile] ino 2012-10-07 06:23 pm (UTC)(link)
Kind of, yeah.
ino: (Blah blah blah.)

[personal profile] ino 2012-10-07 06:37 pm (UTC)(link)
... [lmfao]

Is that why you didn't want to get on the boats?
ino: (Determined.)

[personal profile] ino 2012-10-07 06:44 pm (UTC)(link)
Why don't you learn how to swim? When we're back at the castle, I mean.
ino: (Bored/talking.)

[personal profile] ino 2012-10-07 07:40 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, but it could come in handy. There's been a couple of floods during world changes and stuff, it'd be handy to know how to swim even if you didn't do it normally.
ino: (Really~?)

See. [she pauses, discreetly covering her mouth to clear her throat] I have some good suggestions.
ino: (Hint hint wink wink nudge nudge~)

[personal profile] ino 2012-10-08 12:34 am (UTC)(link)
[fff. she totally catches that :( but she plays it off like she didn't, smiling]

I just gave you one, duh. But all the other suggestions I've given you have been pretty good, too.
ino: (Hint hint wink wink nudge nudge~)

[personal profile] ino 2012-10-08 01:11 am (UTC)(link)
That's because I know what I'm talking about! You should just appoint me your official Suggestion-Giver.
ino: (Cheerful.)

Even better, a tiara. [she'll pick up a little piece of metal off the floor and set it on her head, like a ... lopsided crown lmfao]

[she grins. look, see? she's fine!]

Dad always did call me his little princess. Though I guess in a sense, I sort of am.
ino: (Cheerful.)

[personal profile] ino 2012-10-08 02:19 am (UTC)(link)
Well, I definitely wouldn't be called that. All of the princesses in my world aren't ninja like me, they're just regular civilians with a lot of money.

But within my village, my family is pretty important, and holds a lot of prestige. We're really well known for a particular type of technique that's really handy. Since my dad's the head of my clan right now, once he gets too old, I'll take his place. Since we're a military village, it's more like a "General" than royalty, though.
ino: (Smile.)

[personal profile] ino 2012-10-08 02:32 am (UTC)(link)
Eh? [she blinks at him ... well, she can kind of guess why he's saying that, but --] Don't worry, I'll be fine. And that's a long time in the future, anyways.
ino: (Determined.)

[personal profile] ino 2012-10-08 02:58 am (UTC)(link)
[ ... well, she can't really imagine that happening -- mostly because they don't have THAT much power to actually, you know, take over anything ... and she isn't really interested in that, anyways. but to soothe his worries, she'll smile]

I'll keep it in mind, then.
