WHO Forest planet occupants!
BROADCAST N/A
ACTION Enchanted Forest / Spa Time
WHEN Upon reaching the system (Jan. 4) to leaving it (Jan. 31)

[ It's another day, another planet for the Drift Fleet to explore. Whether it be relaxing in the landing field, checking out the spa (and subsequently getting urged to enter the woods), or taking on the Enchanted Forest's game, there's enough to do for stir-crazy Fleet members.

Just remember one thing: make it look good. ]

There's also a lot of it to walk on somewhere else.

Are you always this affronted by people who accidentally cause you minimal amounts of grief?

You must be terrible on first dates.

[ He exhales, rolls his eyes. ]

Maybe I have other things going on that you couldn't possibly know about. Ever thought of that? [ He waves a hand, almost like brushing Tek away. ] You still here for any particular reason, or...?

[really, Tek should be having pretty much any other reaction to this, right now... but he is still just utterly tickled.]

I'm still here because I like making friends, and you are absolutely hilarious.

[ No, yeah, this is about the reaction Chris always gets. NOBODY EVER TAKES HIM SERIOUSLY. ]

Excuse me?

Oh, don't look so surprised.

...Surely you must know how you sound.

Bitchy? Neurotic? High-strung?

[ Yeah, he's heard it all before. ]

Oh, those are all good ones, yes.

Good vocabulary.

Thanks, I've had time to build it up.

Yes, and speaking of that-- how old are you?

[as if this is a completely normal question to interject with.]

[ That one gets him a very odd look. ]

I'm twenty-two. Why?

Hmm.

[he cants his head a little--kind of obvious in the way he looks this guy over now, since he seemed not to care much for politeness.]

...You felt older.

[ Chris pauses at that. It isn't really a surprise that this guy is magic, but Chris doesn't like the idea of someone magically scoping him out, either. What exactly is he reading? ]

You can feel me?

Not intentionally.

You just... tend to stand out, a bit.

In a way that makes me seem older.

[ It's the demon in him, isn't it. ~~No it's your sucky life, Chris~~ ]

Oh, no. You seem older because of all the...

[and he waves his hand in front of him, like he's clearing cobwebs or a bad smell.]

Clutter you have around you.

[ Chris pulls back a bit, unsure whether he should be insulted or not. ]

What clutter? I'm not cluttered.

Hmm...

[and he leans in a little as Chris pulls away, like he's listening for something. maybe smelling.]

...No, you're definitely quite cluttered.

Sticky, almost.

What?

[ Okay, definitely insulted. He's giving Tek a pretty weirded out look now. ]

Just what exactly are you feeling here?

It's hard to explain. It feels something like strings. A web, maybe.

[oh, he was looking for a proper explanation? oops.]

It's not a pleasant feeling, when they're all bundled up like this.

[ Chris scowls, crosses his arms and steps back again. His irritation is rising because this guy is clearly messing with him. ]

They what? What are they?

[so very clearly. and loving every minute of it.]

Oh, Fate-strings, I guess you could call them.

You have quite a lot for being such a young thing.

[ Ugh, he hates being messed with, but there's also some obvious truth in what this guy's talking about. ]

Yeah. I've got a busy life.

I can see that.

No wonder you wanted to take a nap in the grass.

Okay, I think we're done here.
