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

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.)

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.)

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.)

[ ... 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.
ino: (Nervous.)

[She's suddenly feeling a little shiver, and she rubs her arms, before ... looking down, and DUDE WHAT THE FUCK--

Okay, don't panic. Don't panic. He'd said other people had vanished before, right? So the same thing must be happening to her.

But still, that means he'll be alone in this awful place again, and that's the last thing she wants for him. She won't let that happen -- okay, more like she doesn't want to, but it seems she has no choice for now.

So for the time being, she'll stumble forward to give him another hug from behind while she still can]
ino: (Hmm ...)

[personal profile] ino 2012-10-08 07:12 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm so sorry, I don't know how to stop it --

[But she's squeezing a little tighter]

But I'll see you soon, okay? I promise.
ino: (Hmph!)

[personal profile] ino 2012-10-08 07:20 pm (UTC)(link)
No, it's not okay! [She's glancing down again quickly -- shit, she's almost out of time -- so she'll grab him by the collar] I promised you you wouldn't be alone. I'll do everything I can to make sure that comes true, got it?!
ino: (Giving orders.)

[personal profile] ino 2012-10-08 07:46 pm (UTC)(link)
Don't say that! Don't just give up!
ino: (Rivals.)

[personal profile] ino 2012-10-08 07:53 pm (UTC)(link)
Fuck that! Fuck all of that! I'll be back! I promise, I'll --

[... aaand she's gone]
