[The Once-ler emerges from the barracks (accompanied by a coughing fit, as he was running, and running does not agree with his damaged lungs), after a rather amusing freak-out when he noticed that he was not in his office. He is met with the sight of the Green. The Green, with its growing grass and budding flowers and… and nature. It's the landscape the Once-ler used to know, sans the truffula trees—but this is enough.

He glances skyward. It's blue, a radiant blue, with puffy cumulus clouds drifting about here and there. The light is bright, so bright he puts on his sunglasses, but there's… no sun? That makes about zero sense. He shakes his head and turns his attention back to the Green. He crouches down and tugs off one of his gloves. His hands are shaking, just a little bit, and they don't stop even when he commands them to. The Once-ler presses his palm down into the grass. The feeling is giving him some pretty unwanted flashbacks to when the truffula forest was full and lush. The world was a nice place to be, and you could take a deep breath without coughing up a lung.

He might as well be four years back in time.

So, if you want to see a tall, well-dressed man wandering around the Green with tears on his face, this is your chance.

[Oh. It's a new person.

EXPLAINS EVERYTHING.]


You are in Holloway's Keep. You did not read the note?
missmimmi: (Say what now?)

[personal profile] missmimmi 2012-05-05 10:12 pm (UTC)(link)
The note that was in your room.

[Pause.]

Though I understand if you missed it. It is rather distressing when you first arrive here for most.
missmimmi: (Lonely)

[Oh... fuck damn it. She really doesn't want to be the one to break it to this guy. Especially face to face.]

You were rescued and brought here by Lord Deior. Your home no longer exists.
missmimmi: (Say what now?)

I... am sorry. There are no cameras. And as far as I know the... nature, is not fake.

[She's just giving him a wtf are you talking about look.]
missmimmi: (From my tower)

[personal profile] missmimmi 2012-05-06 05:21 pm (UTC)(link)
...Well.

Dinner is at seven every night. The showers are cold, and the lake has some kind of monster in it. As does the forest.

[She pauses.]

You can find more clothing at the Clothier's Tower.

...A forest with trees?

[What even]
missmimmi: (I thought not)

[personal profile] missmimmi 2012-05-06 07:27 pm (UTC)(link)
Pine? Maybe? I am not exactly sure.
missmimmi: (/Facepalm)

[personal profile] missmimmi 2012-05-06 07:53 pm (UTC)(link)
Um. What are 'truffula trees'? Are they tropical?
missmimmi: (Oh dear no)

[personal profile] missmimmi 2012-05-06 08:41 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh! You mean palm trees!

[RIGHT??? DID SHE WIN THE MILLION DOLLAR QUESTION???]
missmimmi: (Mhmm)

[personal profile] missmimmi 2012-05-06 08:50 pm (UTC)(link)
[Oh.

Welp.]


I. Have no idea what you are referring to, then. I have never heard or seen truffla trees before.
missmimmi: (Nobody knows)

[personal profile] missmimmi 2012-05-06 08:58 pm (UTC)(link)
[Jeez these trees are really important to him aren't they.]

If it is all right, may I ask why you are so interested to know if those trees are here?
missmimmi: (Oh my...)

[personal profile] missmimmi 2012-05-06 09:14 pm (UTC)(link)
[Aaand she's taken aback.]

What? I am not faking anything.
