Wednesday!

[not_a_tadpole]

As it turned out, the giant space dong in the parking lot did not actually destroy Nimbus Land as Mallow originally feared. This was very good news, and he decided the space man who landed here ought to know it too! Because, you know, he was obviously going to lose sleep over the whole thing.

..He meant to come to tell him as soon as he contacted his parents, but he kind of forgot. Hopefully the guy was still out in the parking lot. The ship was, at least! Mallow stepped over the broken glass on his way to the ship, and...

Hmm. That was strange. Was there always broken glass here? He stopped and crouched down to pick a piece up, which pierced right into his fluffy little finger.

"Ouch!" Bad idea. He waved his hand until it fell out, then sucked on the cut while he looked around the parking lot. Something else was different about the parking lot, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it... And quite frankly, he didn't want to put his finger on anything else right now. Ow.

Wednesday!

That was probably a good idea. There were a few leaves strewn among the glass shards as well - innocuous and green, the way leaves tended to look - but their edges were just as sharp.

What kind of tree had deadly razor leaves, anyway? A trail seemed to lead into the forest, but perhaps it was wiser not to follow it. It was probably just some weird wind that blew them in.

Mallow didn't even notice the completely obvious trail until he somehow managed to trip right over it.

"Oof!"

He was just having the worst luck today, wasn't he? Maybe he really was affected by all the craziness going on after all! He peeled himself off the asphalt and glared at whatever it was he tripped on.

"Leaves?" Staaare. "Oh, it's a trail..."

A trail meant he should definitely follow it. What could go wrong?

It wasn't a very long trail, alas - very quickly after entering the forest, the leaves and tracks disappeared among the grass, and there was very little to go on from there.

Even during the day, the forest could be a rather foreboding place. Even in its stillness, the woods were indeed alive, and it felt as though hidden eyes were watching Mallow from its green depths.

Nothing was moving, save for the breeze. A sweet scent was being carried downwind.

Oh. Well that was pretty shortlived. Mallow dragged a foot through the grass as though that would expose a new clue, but there was no such luck. Here he was hoping he'd be able to go on some kind of forest adventure to save the school from something or another! At least there were no enchanted arrows involved this time. Just... broken glass and leaves.

And something that smelled really good. Was someone baking in the middle of the woods? Or... having fruit salad or something? He couldn't really tell which it smelled more like.

"Hello?"

Re: Wednesday!

[punchtheleaves]

A low, quiet rumble responded. "Vysaurrr."

Whoever this was, it wasn't a human. It wasn't a Pokemon either, though it might have easily been mistaken for one. Probably not a threat. But probably not a friend, either.

There was a rustle in the grass, in the direction of the scent. The Ivysaur didn't reveal himself just yet though.

Re: Wednesday!

A-ha! So there was someone out there! Mallow took a few steps closer to the rustling patch of grass and extended his arm in a friendly manner.

"Hello? Did you see where the glass trail leads to?"
