003 The Sunshine Room [Written]

[losteveryone]

[Carol's heard about The Sunshine Room from people around the Castle. Yes, the room that becomes the Snow Room on certain days of the week. But it's a Tuesday and it's her first opportunity to be able to check in out. She leaves her room on the seventh floor and moves down to the third floor. She's not sure exactly where it is but like all the other rooms the door is labelled.

She pauses for a moment before placing her hand on the door handle and moving inside. People might remember from the family vacation that she's never been to a beach before in her life...this is the closest she's seen and she falls in love as soon as she walks in.

There's no one else in here yet so she sits down to enjoy the sunshine and the view in the room. Taking out her journal she writes.]

The Sunshine Room.

I'm surprised that there's no one else in her actually, it's such a beautiful place. If I had the chance I would be here every day that I could. I guess the novelty might wear off eventually. But for now I'm just going to enjoy it while I can.

-80- Grow Old With Me

[Faye hasn't been out of her room much for the past while, and there are reasons for that. Reasons that she'd really like to get away from by now, and sitting around in a little room just isn't going to let her forget about them.

But hey, today she actually has an excuse to get out and treat herself a little.

So, she stretches her legs and wanders out to town, finally settling down at her favorite cafe. She orders a big piece of pie. ...And a couple of cupcakes. ...And some ice cream.

And that's where she'll be for a while, people-watching and snacking until she might make herself sick... and the faint hummed notes of Happy Birthday just might be caught over the journal every once in a while.

She doesn't even know if it's the right day. But it's the date she's always put on her IDs, so it's close enough.]

Ten Truffula Trees

[Ted's arrival was unexpected, to say the least. Even more unexpected was the story that came with the boy. Things were not completely lost. They got BETTER. The damage he'd done was beginning to be mended. And he got to live to see it, something the Once-ler had long given up on. Sure, it took a long, long fifty years for someone to come around who cared enough to make things- Oh.

And then, very, very carefully, the Once-ler writes in his journal, as the dawning realisation hits]

Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better.

It's not.

[The last part, he speaks, with the sigh of someone putting the final piece of a jigsaw together. A piece that has been lost under the metaphorical sofa for a long time, leaving the picture incomplete. Until now. He casts a glance at the nearest wall. The Unlesses are still scrawling their way along the surface. Of course they are. Just because he knows what the word MEANS now, doesn't mean that the message is any less important. In fact now it's more so.

...Besides, he knows only too well it's supposed to be a reminder. He did something unforgivable, and regardless of if it would be fixed or not, that fact remains the same. He can't and won't forgive HIMSELF for what happened to the Valley. It would be doing the Lorax a great disservice if he did. When he finally speaks into the journal again, his tones still have that quiet, underlying sadness to them; that self-loathing that would never go away. But this time there's something else as well. Something almost like hope. A very begrudging hope, as if just having it put everything in danger of falling apart again. But hope, all the same]

So. Someone from my world showed up. From the future at that. I need to remember to ask him if they have flying cars yet. That would be cool.

 I've been talking to a lot of people from other worlds.  It's really interesting, isn't it?   All the different worlds and times people here are from. 

But I've started to get a little curious about something.  

Has anyone here ever heard of a Digital World?
