002- [action] Special milk funtimes... Backdated to Tuesday....

[pretty_bear]

[So, Teddie got up early on his second day in Mayfield with the idea of exploring the town. He notices the flier and the milk on the front step.]

So, drinking milk is the law here? That's kind of strange....

[But, whatever. Probably best just to drink it to avoid trouble later.]

Hmm... this tastes a little..... weird.

[A few minutes later, after the '

[As this girl is walking along, she's covering her eyes. If she didn't see the world around her, it wouldn't be as bad. It's a shame that she did have to open them from time to time and actually look at the illusion of her sister in all shapes and sizes, acting in the most unsuitable way.

And now, this person... Is calling to her.]

No... Just no, please...

[pretty_bear]

Hmm?

[He's confused, and pokes her in the arm.]

Don't worry, the fog will be gone soon.

[birthclod]

Fascinating, so you see fog.

[Trying very hard not to open her eyes. She knows who she'll see anyway and it isn't a blonde-haired boy.]

Fog is... preferable, you know. Everything is just blue and red to me.

[pretty_bear]

Of course I see the fog. It's not like I'm wearing glasses.

[That statement makes perfect sense in his head.]

Red and blue...? But I'm not wearing my bear suit....

Am I?

[Because that's something you'd have to ask about.]

[birthclod]

[Bear suit or not, Clod won't open her eyes for dear life. Although, a bear suit, now that's tempting.]

In my eyes, you're a little blonde girl wearing, yes, red and blue.

We're seeing different things, but you could be in a bear suit as far as I know.

[pretty_bear]

Oh! I was a little blonde girl once!

I won the beauty pageant.

[So proud...]

[birthclod]

... Are you... a boy or girl?

[She really can't tell. Everything sounds and looks just about the same.]

Who... Who am I talking to right now? Just tell me that and... don't use so many words.

[pretty_bear]

[He giggles.]

C'mon, isn't it obvious?

[Really, clearly such a handsome bear must be a boy, right?]

I'm Teddie.

......

Was that too many words?

[birthclod]

[She opens her eyes aaand...

Nope. All Clod sees is Shyna. The personality's off, no doubt, but at least Teddie isn't saying anything to really disturb the girl.]

A little.

... I... just want you to know that I can't see you. I see somebody else, but not... a bear. And what you're seeing isn't real either.

It's... all the milk. Something was inside the milk.

[pretty_bear]

The milk...?

[Hmm, he vaguely remembers that from this morning....]

It did taste kind of funny....

[birthclod]

So we drank the same thing...

... What do you see, Teddie?

[pretty_bear]

[Hmm, what does he see? He glances around.]

A lot of fog. But there aren't any shadows yet, so we're okay. And the ripply ground of course.

Oh, and a pretty girl.

[birthclod]

[Well, this... boy, most likely, is at least having coherent hallucinations. He doesn't seem particularly disturbed by them anyway.]

Huh.

[She wonders who the pretty girl is. Clod doesn't even consider that it might be her. Not once.]

You might want to go back home. It's... easier to deal with if you just close your eyes and pretend you're not seeing fog... and shadows... and girls.

[pretty_bear]

Well... I'm okay with all the other stuff, but...

Why do I have to pretend I'm not seeing a pretty girl? You're standing right in front of me.
