★ Prompts

1) Arrival
[Before you knew it, the world you were in had gone dark. Why or even how wasn't exactly clear, but the moment you wake up, you find that you are not where you were before. Instead there appears to be a small village, but it's dark and the people appear to not be leaving there houses anytime soon. Why weren't they? Perhaps looking around might wield results.]

2) Monster Attack
[Just outside the village creatures appear to be wondering around. If you come too close they will attack. Sharp claws swinging towards whoever crosses there path. Avoid or counter?]

3) What the hell?!
[In the woods, if one were to wonder further enough they would come across a circle and a bunch of cloak people, kneeling down and bowing down toward the center. Whatever was going on it was certainly odd.]

4) Wildcard

[David can't help but chuckle and his arms fall to his sides in a more relaxed position. Okay, talking to trees is weird but he doesn't believe that this forest is completely dead. Where there is death, there is always new life. It's the way of the world.]

Yeah, those people are crazy.

[Says the guy talking to a tree.]

I am going to go out on a limb here... [See, tree humor.] and assume that's you're name and you aren't trying to name the tree.

[David smiles, he likes to defuse situations with smartass comments. He isn't sure if its working.] I'm David. [He's a loser.]

Keep making references like that and we can't be friends.

[It's spoken in a teasing tone, though. He didn't mind the pun.]

If I was naming a tree, I would have picked something that suggests a towering grandeur like...Thaddeus, or...anything that starts with "the".

[But he offers the guy a friendly smile. He's weird, but not so bad.] Nice to meet you, David. Get kidnapped often?

Ouch, sounds like you have harsh standards.

[David chuckles softly.]

So Thandor? [He really wants to add 'the magnificent' to the end of that name which only causes his grin to stretch wider.]

I don't make a habit of it, no.

[Comedy aside David isn't comfortable outside of his forest which is probably why he's currently leaning on a tree with no intention to move.]

The Thandor, and that'd only work of Tolkien named it. [He shakes his head.] And it would have to mean something in Elvish, like...."first of the forest". So The Thandor would be one epic tree, and there's be paragraphs explaining how "The Thandor" held within it's memory, sweeping eons of mortal life, all the histories of the lands of Man...or something.

[He nods, like that whole explanation wasn't even weird.]

That makes two of us, David. Sort of off-putting, really. I had appointments today.

[David likes Tolkien books, there is enough description about scenery that it makes him happy to read them. The Hobbit is always going to be his favorite of their books.]

That is very true. Sadly, I don't know Elvish. [He sorta wishes he did, that'd be cool.]

I had work. I'm not important enough to have appointments. [Unless fishing counted.]

If you're looking for a where, what, why sort of thing I... have nothing.

[He was concerned about the trees.]

Some colleges teach it, but a man needs to have limits.

[Like actually learning Elvish. He shakes his head in disappointment.]

The trees are holding out on you, huh?

Wait... really?

[David wonders if they would teach Elvish at college.]

Yeaaaaaah.

[He brushes his hand behind his head.]

Trees don't talk loudly.

[Thomas shrugs.] That's what I've heard.

[A a slight smirk teases at Thomas' lips.]

Maybe you should learn to listen better.

Whoa. [David holds up his palms, a smirk tugging at his lips.]

I am a great listener. You can even ask my sisters.

[Who would probably have mixed responses about that sort of thing.]

Though just because I listen doesn't mean I act on what I hear.

[When it comes to trees he does, people... less so.]

Sisters are never honest, especially when it would mean saying good things about you.

[I have sisters too, man. I know how they work.]

You know, that doesn't surprise me.

[David chuckles.]

That's true.

[He stands fully, stretching his arms over head before rolling his shoulders. He's been leaning up against that tree for a while and he needs a good run though he doesn't know this place well enough to go bounding into the woods on four legs.]

Ouch. You don't pull punches do you? Am I that easy to read?

[David knows he is.]

I just found you talking to a tree.

[Thomas states this like it explains everything else he's observed about David.]

[David shrugs, a grin plastered to his face.]

What? Trees are cool.

[Clearly that's the important part of all of this.]

Yeah, okay, sure. Trees are cool.

[He prefers the city, but you know, whatever floats your boat.]

But I don't think this forest is going to have any answers for us.

Probably not.

[That doesn't mean David isn't going to search every inch of the forest to see if something comes up. He might be able to tell what had killed it.]

What do you suggest?

Personally? I was planning on squeezing some of the villagers for information.

[Or flirting it out of the women. Whatever.]

I think you'll have better luck than I will but if you aren't opposed to company I can tag along.

[He doesn't know if he can flirt things out of women though. He'll leave that to Thomas.]
