[ The Dreamberry clicks on to show Terra strolling through the forest, staring upwards. Some of the vines growing are a bit in her way, so she has to chop one aside with her dagger - faint barking can be heard behind her, and she glances over her shoulder, catching sight of the Dreamberry having turned on. She looks at the vine, then back at the

This place is anything but normal if you ask me. Damn, and I thought last week was already a hassle.

[phantasmal_girl]

Why, did something happen last week? [ Well, something "else" rather. At least Cloud was doing better now. ]

[scoreatouchdown]

Just the plants popping out of nowhere. I've been around this place for a while now and I've never seen anything like this.

[phantasmal_girl]

Out of nowhere? I thought they were already ... weren't they just the existing plants growing larger? You mean new plant life has been growing as well?

[ A pause, some barking in the background, and she makes a shhing noise ] Silly thing. Do you think it'll be a problem for the buildings...?

[scoreatouchdown]

Honestly, I don't give a damn where they're coming from. What I want is for them to go away.

You got a dog with you? [He raises an eyebrow at the sound of the barking.] I'm no genius but if this keeps up, I won't be surprised if it does.

[phantasmal_girl]

That would be awful. If all the plants went away we'd be left with nothing but.. but.. [ Pause. ] WEll it'd be like a desert. O-only with less sand.

OH, yeah. Two of them. [ She laughs absently. ] ANd a cat. They're still young yet, but... I got them from the pet store thing they have.

[scoreatouchdown]

Okay, fine. I could stand a bit of it but nothing like this. [Absently gesturing out his window. See the thick coat of vines plastered there?]

A pet store, huh? Didn't even know they had those around here.

[phantasmal_girl]

[ She leans forward at her Dreamberry and grimces. ] Why not just cut them down...? They may grow back, but at least it will not be as thick.

Oh... yes I accompanied a girl named Minako and she showed me there was one in this "Mall" thing. [ She can't say she would want to go there again. She hated seeing the animals in cages. ]

[scoreatouchdown]

Look, I'm not going to go through the hassle of cutting them down when I know they're just going to grow back the next day.

[Thank you for reminding him that Minako still owes him something. But there's something else you said that piqued his interest.] You sound like you've never been to a mall before.

[phantasmal_girl]

.. but even if they grow back the next day, it'll still be less to cut. What if you let it go and it grows so much you can't cut your way out? You'll be trapped.

Oh ... um, well - actually, I haven't. We don't have those things where I am from.

[scoreatouchdown]

[Okay, that merits a scoff.] It's not like I get out from the window or anything.

Seriously? Damn, must've sucked not having one around.

[phantasmal_girl]

... perhaps not, but it still seems more troublesome not to cut or burn down.. hrn.

Not really. I don't like the "Mall" so I'm rather glad that we didn't have one back home.

[scoreatouchdown]

[Shrugs.] Whatever.

Funny hearing that. Most girls love the mall.

[phantasmal_girl]

[ A faint sigh. ]

... I'm hardly like "most girls", I'm afraid...

[scoreatouchdown]

[And oh that definitely interests him.]

Why's that?

[phantasmal_girl]

[ She shakes her head. ] It's difficult to explain - but things that "normal" girls seem to be interested in don't interest me at all. That and... where I'm from I can use magic, but no one else is capable of it.
