Twenty Seven Truffula Trees

[whichwayyoulean]

[The Once-ler really wanted to avoid the journals and talking to people in general for a while. But, Paradisa being what it is, he's now going to have to speak into it. After all, there are people he needs to check up on]

Okay, so I haven't run into them yet on this spooky ship of spooky, but I know everyone's busy having their own personal issues and whatever so I'll make this one quick.

Is Ted with any of you guys? If he is, don't let him do anything. I'm serious. Ted, if you're listening to this, you need to find an adult and stay with them, okay? No...being you and getting into an adventure.

[Then...because he has to ask, even if he could happily avoid talking about her...he takes a deep breath. He's worried about her, and he's annoyed in himself for worrying about her. After all, he doubts she's worried about him...but ask he will anyway]

Has anyone seen a woman anywhere? She's a new resident, big blonde hair, glasses? You'd probably hear her before you see her. Just...let me know, okay?

[Then, almost as an afterthought] You guys stay safe too. [He won't even use filters, his friends know he means them]

Normally, I would be all about investigating, but I would prefer it be done in a place that did not sound like an awful horror movie.

[whichwayyoulean]

Yeah, the blood on the walls tell me investigating? Not a good plan.

[cyan_maid]

Agreed.

Please stay safe, okay? We'll get to you guys as soon as we can. At least, that's what I hope.

[whichwayyoulean]

Don't worry, I plan to stay as safe as humanly possible.

[cyan_maid]

You promise?

[whichwayyoulean]

I absolutely promise.

[cyan_maid]

...Okay.

[She'll make food for you when you're laid up in the castle, buddy.]
