Yvaine? Yvaine?

....

YVAINE.

[ that last yell sent birds flying from their tress, if the sudden rush of chittering was any hint. yes, he's still in the forest after three weeks. ]

Where did you run off to? Honestly, this place is dangerous. You- You could get yourself hurt, and then I'd-

[ paaause, wait! here comes the light bulb, and he takes the communicator out of his pocket, snapping it on...only to realize it was already on in the first place. ]

...Blasted thing. There's no sense to how it works, turning off and on like its got a mind of its own. Probably does have a mind of its own, if you ask me.

Anyways, what was I, oh-

Hello, City? Everyone? I was wondering- I was wondering if any of you have seen a woman wandering around? Blonde hair, silver dress, insufferable temperament. Yells and complains quite a lot, so I'm sure it's not hard to miss her.

[ crickets chirp, and yes those are actual crickets. ]

I've got to find her. She's a star, you see- I'm sure this is the first time she's touched ground in ... in centuries, and she could easily get hurt running off by herself. So if any of you see her, would you please direct her to me? Or rather, actually- Would you tell me where she is?

My thanks for your assistance.

Will you also show her you being defeated by a mouse much like a misbehaving child is defeated by his mother?

Impossible, it is not. I will show you if you would just bring your blade and your coward self to the forest. I will not fight an unarmed child.

For someone you don't think is all that nice, you're certainly trying hard to find her.

[downrightlinear.livejournal.com]

That's what they put in me, but in my world not everything is so black and white.

[gazingup.livejournal.com]

I haven't got a blade or time to spare playing games with you now, Mouse. I said we could play after I find her.

And I'm eighteen, far from a child.

I promised Victoria I'd bring back a star for her. And- And I can't bring her a star, if I can't find said star.

...Put in you?

Did they cut you open and stick little demon pieces in there? Or something like that?

[anoblemouse.livejournal.com]

It will not be a game, I assure you. I will not hold back.

But apparently you think like one. It's an easy mistake to make with you.

You're actually looking for this... girl. Because you plan on giving her to someone?

[downrightlinear.livejournal.com]

It doesn't really work that way, no. It's... a little more... I don't even know how to explain this.

[gazingup.livejournal.com]

Even if you don't hold back, I'm sure it will be like game.

I'm- I'm being entirely rational. In my world, mice don't talk or fight with swords. They just chew holes, make a mess of everything, and get eaten by cats.

Not give her to someone, just show her to someone. I plan on- I plan on helping her get back into the sky, anyway.

I ... I probably would have a hard time understanding it, even if you explained it.

[downrightlinear.livejournal.com]

How do you plan on doing that?

[downrightlinear.livejournal.com]

Thus my reason for refraining.

I've got a magic candle.

I'll just leave it up to my imagination to fill in the gaps.

What's a magic candle gonna do? Blind her? She's a star. I think she beats you candles in light intensity.

[downrightlinear.livejournal.com]

Probably with more of your woman-hating.

[anoblemouse.livejournal.com]

Believe that if you will. It will only serve to further your demise at the end of my blade.

Your world is not Narnia. In Narnia, we Talking Mice are a common sight, albeit some idiots are much like you still. Do not compare me to common mice. I have never been eaten by a cat nor do I intend to.

It's a magic candle that can transport a person anywhere they wish.

I- I don't hate women!

[bufferprincess.livejournal.com]

I think you could get hurt wondering around by yourself.

[gazingup.livejournal.com]

All right.

...But how can you knock down a person who's foot is bigger than the width and length of your own body?

[downrightlinear.livejournal.com]

You have that with you here?

[downrightlinear.livejournal.com]

You sounded pretty suspicious of them the last time we talked.
