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. ]

[ What

the

hell.

Chris steps back once, his head tilting to the side just so, enough to remind anyone of a particularly confused puppy. After a moment, he turns to regard Krista. ]

Miss Sir?

[ladiesss]

Thaaaat's me. Hey, Barnabus.

[she says, to the short pig-kid who is trying to get her to come with him:]

Look, I can't. I'm on a spirit quest. You're probably not even a real thing.

[she turns to Chris and points to the pig--] Does he seem like a real thing to you?

You really must! A dragon is destroying the town just on the other side, Headmaster Thorne needs your help!

[misconceived]

Not particularly.

[ Which says a lot coming from Chris. He looks unimpressed at the pig's attempt to pull her away. ]

There's no town on the other side of anything.

[ladiesss]

Yeah... Sorry buddy, you're an illusion.

[so she'll just... walk away! her expression is sad, for a second, as the pig-boy tries to tell them something else, but she quickly steels herself and starts walking forward again. she knows how magic forests work. she's not getting tricked. it'd be dumb to get tricked by something that obvious, right?]

[misconceived]

[ Chris walks along, glancing back just for a moment to see the illusion gone almost as soon as Krista's got her handle on things. ]

Not bad. Guess it helps to know the tricks beforehand, huh?

[ladiesss]

Yeah... [there's kind of a distant pause from her... before she adds something onto the end of it, because yeah! she's totally not bothered by this at all.] The last time I went on one of these, this "Big Bad Wolf" followed us around for like, hours. Would say all kinds of stuff to try and get us to leave.

[misconceived]

This kind of thing happen to you a lot?

[ Not that Chris has room to talk. Enchanted forests are new, but weird magical stuff? Yeah, sure. ]

[ladiesss]

Uh, kinda! Me and my friends went through the dreaming a lot... All sorts of fairy-tale stuff happens in the dreaming all the time...

[her weird magical stuff is so day-to-day that it isn't even weird for her anymore.]

[misconceived]

The dreaming? Like... peoples' dreams?

[ladiesss]

It's... a magical realm right next to reality, where fairies live. It's where magic comes from. Imagination, too, and dreams. And nightmares. And I guess a bunch of other stuff.

[misconceived]

[ Okay. Chris lets that roll around a bit in his head, tries to place it parallel to earth instead of above or below like Up There or the Underworld. It kind of makes sense. ]

So it's the nonphysical world to go with the physical.
