13 Truffula Seeds

I've never done so much traveling before in my entire life! I guess people who've lived here a while are used to it, but it's still all new to me. And it's really exciting! I wish there was a way I could tell my mom and Grammy about it.

You may write them letters, and then always keep them on your person in the hopes that they will travel home with you.

[findatree]

That's a great idea!

[ensorceler]

I am glad you are pleased with it.

[findatree]

Is it okay if I write about you?

[ensorceler]

Me? Whatever would you write?

[nukeoleptic]

Hehehe. That's one of the best parts about this place, isn't it?

[findatree]

It's amazing.

[nukeoleptic]

Where did you live before?

[findatree]

A city called Thneedville. It was enclosed, so I didn't get to travel much beyond the city's wall.

[nukeoleptic]

[ -- wait. That was almost a little concerning. ]

Why were you being kept inside?

[staggeringego]

It's not always so exciting depending where the castle decides to drop us off.

[findatree]

But it's still something new. I've been in the same town all my life. I've never gotten to explore much beyond that.

[staggeringego]

Really? [ He thinks he remembers talking to this kid once before. Didn't they have a talk about trees? No wonder he's a bit clueless on these matters. ]

Now that doesn't sound fun at all.

[findatree]

It wasn't so bad. I got an award for unicycling and I make model planes.

[staggeringego]

[ He needs a minute here think on this. There aren't exactly many muggles even riding around on unicycles, much less wizards, but let it not be said that James doesn't pay some attention to the world around him!

... Maybe not as much as he should, but some! ]

They give out awards for that?

[whichwayyoulean]

It's a shame you can't send Paradisa postcards. 'Wish you were here, except probably not'.

[findatree]

Maybe we could! Or we can try, anyway.

[whichwayyoulean]

[He knows it won't do any good, that it won't get out there, but if it'll make the kid feel better]

You're right, we could try. See if it goes anywhere.

[findatree]

Who do we give it to, so it'll be mailed?

[whichwayyoulean]

Maybe we can stick a little letter box outside. See if it goes anywhere.

[Or rather he'd get up in the middle of the night to move it and pretend it's gone somewhere]

[shortishandbossy]

They'd probably be worried if they found out you were trapped in a castle that somehow takes you to all these dangerous places, kid.

[findatree]

I wouldn't tell them anything about that. Just the good parts.

[shortishandbossy]

They'd miss you even more than they already do.

[findatree]

But they'd know where I am and that I'm okay.

[shortishandbossy]

Ignorance is bliss sometimes.
