I found a tree! Hello, Mr. Tree. My name is Aeris and I am seven and two thirds years old and I'm going around you in a circle. I've never met a tree before not even one. Have you ever met any people? Why aren't there trees in Midgar? Oh, I guess trees don't talk.

Well, that's OK! I still like you!

*heard part of that* You've never seen a tree before?

[mmmdots]

It's hard to write parts for someone so state... stayshun.... staying in one place.

[capt_liarpants]

*a little guarded* You! Um, what do you mean writing parts for someone?

[mmmdots]

Parts in plays.

[capt_liarpants]

I don't think this is a play. I think she really hasn't seen a tree...or she could be pretending which is kind of like a play.

[mmmdots]

Yes, and her name has a lisp. The tree must be shy and this is all to make it get better at speaking in front of others.

[capt_liarpants]

Ahahaha, if the tree really speaks, I'll be surprised! I haven't heard a tree speak in camp at all, it'd be a first. I bet trees have all kinds of secrets since they live for such a long time.

[mmmdots]

Has anyone ever told you about the Ents? They're tree people. I bet they have all sorts of neat secrets.

[capt_liarpants]

The Ents? Never heard of 'em! Tree people do sound pretty cool as long as they're friendly.

[mmmdots]

They are, except when they're not. But if you treat them more like people than trees and not go cutty cutty stab [insert very accurate-sounding rusty chainsaw noise] there should be no problem. Yes.

[capt_liarpants]

If they're tree people, I definitely wouldn't go cutting them down! I'd wanna talk to them and know how long they've been alive and the things they can do and stuff like that.

You think they get angry when people cut down regular trees?

[mmmdots]

Maybe? Or there could be gang wars going on. You could be helping them out with that.

[capt_liarpants]

You mean, tree armies and wars! Can you imagine trees fighting? Fir trees would have the best armor, being all prickly! And oak trees would have natural ammunition with their acorns!

[mmmdots]

Yes! The maple trees will have special story spellbooks and use their whirling leaves to heal their lowered mana reserves.

[capt_liarpants]

Mana reserves? Are maple trees all guys?

[mmmdots]

I'm not sure. I never thought about that before.
