Avi follows after Koi, but opts to not actually touch the tree.

[armach]

Titus also climbs one of those trees.

[WillowLuman]

"Huh. Methinks the Entity accidentally caught a larger entity. Now lets go climb more trees." Koi proceeds to climb one of the more anomalous trees.

Titus also climbs one of those trees.

You had been determined to defy any mentality and climb the trees, but something seems really off about these trees. The idea of touching them seems repulsive to something deep in your core.

Another layer of music floats through the air, distant, getting closer. It complements the background music, enmeshing with its notes, but the new layer changes it to a more bittersweet sound.

"_{Come weary soul}, who wanders through the forest,
There is a place for the lost and the damned
Sorrow and pain will be left behind you
When you sink into a long and gentle dream."

From the between the trees, the child emerges, standing over the fallen "farmer." The human guise seems to be slipping away as the boy strums and sings. "Ţ͜h̛́͜͏i҉̶̧͝s̷̢̡̀ ͏̧͠f̸̕͘͠é̵̛͘͘ȩ̴̡l̢͏̛i̷̛͢͝ņ̷̷͝g̕͢͢.̛͘͘͜͢.̴̸̡͜͠.͝҉̡́̀  "

"Sleep within the earth
Drink from in the ground
Let nothing ever trouble you.
Let you never hear a sound"

As the boy sings, the image of the vast being seems to fade again, encrusted by bark and leaves. As the last sad notes fade out, they see a tree where once the "farmer" lay.

[~Neri]

Curious..

[TheBiggerFish]

"..."

Avi backs away slowly.

Rajita tilts her head at the boy with the guitar, noticing the similarities. "Hello?"

[WillowLuman]

((Sorry for delay))

Rajita tilts her head at the boy with the guitar, noticing the similarities. "Hello?"

Somehow, the boy seems to be playing two songs on the guitar simultaneously, layered over each other but not interfering.

"Six little goslings all in a line
One got in a fight and then there were five.
Five little goslings going to the store
One got sick and then there were four..."

He looks up at your greeting. "Howdy!"

[wipeout1024]

"Oh.. I am pleased to, ahem, make your acquaintance. Rajita's eyes then start darting around, as if she's looking for what is exactly off here.

[WillowLuman]

"Oh.. I am pleased to, ahem, make your acquaintance. Rajita's eyes then start darting around, as if she's looking for what is exactly off here.

You can't really seem to put your finger on anything, aside from that this boy looks the same as the last one you saw playing guitar. "Nice to meet'yall too! You look like you're lookin' fer something."

[TheBiggerFish]

"So what was that?"

[~Neri]

"That. Is the entity that controls this place." Koi continues observing.

[TheBiggerFish]

"What did...How did it do it?"

[~Neri]

"It's a memetic entity that has assembled an entire reality for it to control. Answer your own question."

[TheBiggerFish]

"...Okay, fair point.  I wonder if it can be undone."

[~Neri]

"The answer to that is a simple No. Followed by the question of Why in the MInds would you want to let an extradimensional monstrosity loose?"
