Holy shit! I just, I , oh wow I love you guys <3
Won't stop me from brutally violating your corpses, but still.
Turn Eight: Trees and Imps.Continue to draw wonderful pictures.
(...) You manage to draw a few stick figures with your massive pool of blood. Whee~~~
You distinctly wonder if you should just stop wasting the GM's time and commit suicide. You realize that thought didn't make much sense. It's probably the blood loss.
After introducing herself to the new human, Hayley asked even more questions.
Follow the duo of strange hair, they look like they know what they're doing.
(...)(...)Hayley pokes Galvin with a stick.
: "Who are you?"
: "What? Ow! Hey!
*poke* *poke*
: "Stop poking me!"
: "Sorry."
: "My name is Gatlin. Where am I?"
: You are in the Kokiri Village, inside the Lost Woods. We're heading to the Deku Tree, a great spirit."
: "That reminds me, are you going to explain what those vines were?"
: "No. He's just up ahead, lets not keep him waiting."
: "I... guess I'll just follow you guys then."
Reaching the end of the tunnel, you all come across a clearing with a massive structure in the middle. It takes you a moment to realize that it is an absolutely
massive tree. It's trunk alone is almost fifty yards across, it's trunk reaching high above the canopy. On the front of the tree, what appears to be a massive caricature of a face stares at you, a gigantic gaping hole burrows beneath the roots at the base of the face, as if screaming.
It's dead.
Up above, the sun comes down unfiltered, the leaves having decayed long ago. Fallen, massive branches litter the ground and the trunk is visibly rotting in some places, all of the bark having taken on an ashen color. You feel a sense of almost overwhelming sorrow at the sight. Saria strides forward, looking slightly confused.
: "Deku Tree?"
??? : "Saria? That you? Aw crap, another damn branch fell in front of me. One second."
Without warning, a giant beam of green energy wraps around a very large fallen log in front of you. It lifts it up, then heaves aside to what looks to be a pile of debris. Unobstructed, you spot a sphere of wood in front of the dead tree. Three short branches extrude from it, and it's wooden face smiles at you pleasantly.
: "Hello there! Sorry about the mess, part of the cycle, nothing I can do. I'm the Deku Tree. Used to be called' Great', but I'm not the most inspiring of images at the moment. Bit annoyed about that, actually, but it'll fix itself with time."
: "Woah..."
: "
Is that a fucking talking tree!?: "Watch your language! The Deku Tree is an ancient spirit of vast wisdom and deserves respect!"
: "Haha, it's fine, Saria, it's fine. You're forgetting, I'm only about two weeks old, tops. I'm not some crotchety ancient termite mound yet, just got all the knowledge of one."
He doesn't physically move, but you feel his attention turn to both of you.
: "I suppose you've got questions then? I'm afraid I don't have many answers, but I'll give it a shot. Ask away."
Continue going straight forward through the completely silent and tranquil forest.
(...)Sinclair: "Fuck you you stupid ass forest! I didn't hear no giggle!
Forests don't giggle!"
Your hair stands on end, and you can almost feel the forest beat slightly. There is a rustle of leaves above, but you don't see anything as you turn to look.
Suddenly a voice calls out, shattering the silence.
??? : "Well well well, look at what we have here brother. A stray sheep!"
??? : "Oh, how fun how fun! A lost human, they don't usually get this deep. I wonder if he would like to play."
??? : "Let's find out!"
[Ambiance]Two thumps mark the descent of what you can only describe as forest imps. They wear clothes comprised of leaves and straw bound by rope, their heads comprised of a dark substance, and their eyes glow like embers. Their pale blue skin shows markings strewn across it in a way that unsettles you greatly. One holds a small wooden object loosely in his hand. They slowly circle you, cackling.
: "Hello there human!"
Sinclair: "Wha-"
: "Hehehe, wandering all alone in these dark woods is dangerous you know."
: "Many nasty beasties make this their home."
Sinclair: "I... I..."
: "Aww, are you scared?"
: "Scared of the dark?"
: "The silence?"
: "The seeping magic?"
Sinclair: "N-no! You're not even real! You can't trick me!"
: "Oh how brave!"
: "How marvelous!"
: "Well, we have a question for you mister brave guy."
: "My favorite question of them all!"
They stare at you unblinking. You gulp nervously.
Sinclair: "What?"
They grin in union, needle like teeth stretching far past where any human mouth might dream of stopping.
