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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

All right.

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

[anoblemouse.livejournal.com]

By using his stupidity against him.

[gazingup.livejournal.com]

You mean, you'll tickle his feet with your fur?

Yes. Exactly that.
