27 ✪ way back up in the wood among the evergreens

[thosethatrun]

[ There's the sound of a door opening as Ten walks into his room, journal tucked under his elbow. ]

... why are there rotisserie chickens all over my room? And... are those whole shrimp?

[tehoniongirl]

[oh! she recognized that voice]

Did someone make you a feast? [curious]

[thosethatrun]

I have no idea. It's just... chickens and shrimp.

[tehoniongirl]

Are you particularly fond of either of those?

[thosethatrun]

Not particularly, no.

[tehoniongirl]

That's a shame. It'd be rather handy if you were.

[head tilt] Could it be a castle thing? Randomly appearing food?

[thosethatrun]

It hasn't happened before since I've been here and not that I've read, either.

[tehoniongirl]

Well, you wanted to see the weird and wonderful things in the universe, right? This would probably qualify as one of the weird.

[thosethatrun]

Yeah, I'd say this counts as strange.

[tehoniongirl]

Speaking of the castle... [hesitates] do you know if there's a way to unwish something?

[thosethatrun]

I've never tried to do it. Maybe you could ask around? Or wish that you could undo a wish?

[tehoniongirl]

But wouldn't that count as another wish? You know... wishing to unwish the wish is a second wish that you don't want to make?

...

besides, I tried that already.

[thosethatrun]

... this is true.

Sorry. I haven't actually wished for anything yet.

[tehoniongirl]

[sounding a bit dejected] I was trying not to.

[thosethatrun]

It's alright, Jilly.

[tehoniongirl]

....

This isn't the first time I've been trapped in a magical world, you know. It happened once before, a few years ago.

[thosethatrun]

Really?
