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. ]

[wilder]

Not if it's a man-eating monster, I don't.

[idealistic]

It's not like we can't handle it! [ I MEAN COME ON WE HAVE SWORDS AND MAGIC (that lloyd still needs to learn) THEY'LL TOTALLY BE FINE.

Lloyd moves away from the forest entrance and towards Kaneis so that he can make a grab for his arm. YOU'RE COMING WITH HIM, PUNK. ]

Come on!

[wilder]

[Sadly, Kaneis is so used to having faster reflexes than everyone else around him, that he doesn't move fast enough to avoid Lloyd's arm grab. FFFFF STUPID ANGEL]

[He'll sure try to yank out of it]

Oh c'mon! What's with you and making me go through magical forests?!

[idealistic]

[ sorry but his grip is still holding steadfast. drags through the entrance! ]

It's not that bad! Besides, you have to do something besides sitting around in that stupid spa all day!

[wilder]

[Doing his best to drag his feet!!]

I don't see why! There's nothing wrong with the spa- I actually feel clean for once!

[idealistic]

Yeah, but you don't have to visit it everyday!

[ he's not saying that Kaneis actually is visiting it everyday, but he honestly wouldn't put it past him. he gestures to the forest around them. if anything, it just looks like a regular forest. ]

See? It's not so bad!

[wilder]

[Oh lbr here, Kaneis would live in the spa if he could. And he'll look around the forest when Lloyd gestures to it but guess what?]

[HE IS NOT CONVINCED!!]

Uh huh. Right now it is.

[idealistic]

Doesn't mean it'll get any worse if we keep going!

[ last Lloyd checked, Gaorrachia Forest was about as menacing at the entrance as it was in the deepest part. besides, the path looked pretty clear.

maaaaaan, this will SO easy. ]

Who knows: maybe we can clear it faster than any of the others!

[wilder]

[...You are going to doom us all Lloyd Irving omfg. ]

I don't think it's really a timed thing Lloyd...

[idealistic]

[ nah he'll just end up dooming himself ]

Don't you wanna make it to the end before it gets dark, though?

[wilder]

Well, sure- but it's not that close to sunset, right?

[A beat because honestly? After a over a year without regular daylight hours, he's not entirely sure how long days last]

...Right?

[idealistic]

I...

[ wait a minute. ]

I dunno. I think the sun was pretty high before we went in. [ was it? ]

[wilder]

[....]

You are so lucky I don't wanna deal with the lecture that Flora would give if I left you in here.

[NOT THAT I LIKE YOU OR ANYTHING MYSELF, BAKA]

C'mon, lets get this over with.

[starts walking forward!]

[idealistic]

[ well, that was easy! he starts walking after Kaneis, jogging a couple of paces so that he can stay in step with him.

but of course Lloyd can't stay quiet for too long, so in an attempt to start up some conversation (because it was way too coincidental for even Lloyd to not notice): ]

It's pretty cool how we kind of got what we were hoping for, huh?

[wilder]

[He was glancing around when Lloyd speaks up. The conversation on the previous planet doesn't pop into his mind immediately, so he looks curious (even if he's still annoyed Lloyd dragged him in here)]

Huh?

[idealistic]

Back on the planet with all the snow.

We talked about how cool it'd be if the next planet was sunny and had a forest. [ AND LOOK WHERE THEY ENDED UP. ]

[wilder]

[That's right...they did talk about that. The remnants of annoyance start to leave his face at that realization]

[...Huh]

Oh, that's right. I'd forgotten about that...

Weird how that worked out.

[idealistic]

Isn't it?

Too bad we didn't get the beach, but this isn't too bad!

[ the spa was at least a nice replacement. ]

[wilder]

So far. [He reminds him, but it lacks a lot of the bite of before]

The spa's a nice compromise for a beach. Wouldn't mind if the waystations had less fruit flavored foods, though.

[idealistic]

You're telling me. I didn't think black coffee could be so sweet. [ or even more disgusting than it already was. ]

I still don't get the obsession for all the Floot Loops stuff they had everywhere.

[wilder]

Yeah. It's like someone with Colette's cooking tastes went nuts with it.

[And he thought fruit steak was the worst it could go...]

It's advertising. They're hoping the name familiarity will up their sales.

[idealistic]

Yeah, but they don't have to stick it all over everything. That just gets annoying.

[ it could be because he's not used to advertising, but if there was ever a point where something became too much, then these guys surpassed it fifty times over.

not even Regal's company was this bad. ]

[wilder]

It is pretty excessive. Almost makes me wonder how far they take it.

[Like were there Floot Loop medicine? Toilet paper? Condoms? Sex Toys? He is morbidly curious]

[But as they walk, the trees of the forest seem to get thicker and thicket, slowly blotting out daylight]

[idealistic]

I dunno if I want to know...

[ he hasn't thought of the stuff that Kaneis did, but if they already have meat coated with that fruity stuff, then he doesn't want to know what else they came up with.

it's probably because of his familiarity with forests, but Lloyd manages to catch on quick when he notices the forest thickening. he does a brief sweep through. ]

It kinda got thicker, huh?

[wilder]

You're not even a little curious?

[And being the city boy he is, he doesn't quite catch on that it's getting thicker until Lloyd points it out. He frowns and looks around. Yep. Definitely getting darker in here.]

Sure is...that's not ominous or anything.
