EVERYTHING IS PINK.
These stupid glasses materialized on my face while I slept and now I can't get them off!! Bubbles, is this your doing?
[ooc: ever the pragmatic realist, West is now seeing the world through rose-colored glasses aha ha ha. :D Why yes, I am rather proud of my horrible pun.]

Oh, this is another one of the Tree's tricks, is it? Well, from some of the other things I have seen popping up over the journals, I suppose I should count myself lucky.
Are you alright?

...Yes I'm fine, that is to say there's nothing physically wrong. Just maybe possibly there's this peculiar little problem that's all together quite impossible to describe...

Oh, wait, he responded to an entry of mine. Something about "People die. That's life." Angered Fallen quite a bit, as I remember.
So something is wrong. Stay put, I'll come over.

I suppose if you're sure.
Its not so bad really, it feels somewhat....familiar? But I think company would be nice.
[ooc:y! for great justice!]

[West closes the journal and makes her way through the other Housing sections until she finally reaches where Bubbles lives. She knocks on the door, a little strung out by the evil doubles, meat-growing on trees, unicorns, and personal rainclouds, but is hiding it pretty well.]
Boo.

"Hello, hello!
I don't know why you say goodbye,
I say hello!"
[She stops the impromptu singing by clamping a hand over her mouth. Then she gives West a frustrated look and uses her other hand to tug the green girl into the house--which of course has one side completely covered in cutesy pinkness.]

I didn't say goodbye at all. And why are you singing?

"All I wanna do is stay right here on the floor,
Get lost in the night
And dance like there's no tomorrow!
Don't care about the sunrise,
Somebody please just hit the lights
All I wanna do is dance like there's no tomorrow!"
[She throws her hands up in the air.]
"I'm loving the atmosphere
Feels like I'm floating in heaven
The music's all in my ear
Taking over me
My heart's racing
Feeling so Hollywood
How I got everybody staring--*"
[The last lyric ends in a crack as Bubbles is seriously. freaked. out.]

I- here. Shake your head yes or no. [She pauses after each answer.]
Can you still speak regularly?
Are you in any physical pain?
Has anyone else mentioned this happening to them? Either now or before?

Can you still speak regularly?
[Head shake no.]
Are you in any physical pain?
[Another no.]
Has anyone else mentioned this happening to them? Either now or before?
[She blinks at this last question and shrugs.]
"Nobody likes me,
Everybody hates me,
Guess I'll eat some--"
[She cuts off looking absolutely horrified. That was something she never thought she'd admit to anyone.]

Oh, Bubbles, that's not true. Chosen likes you. I like you. Your friend Alexi likes you. You're fun, and you're sweet, and you mean well. You're-
[West pulls back in order to look Bubbles in the face as she says this.]
You're a good person, alright? No matter what anyone else says or thinks, remember that. And I'll always, always be here for you when you need me. I promise.
[She hesitates, then collects herself back together and starts trying to think of a practical solution to help her friend.]
Al-alright. So, you can't speak, but you're not in any pain. It seems like this is just another unfortunate trick of the Tree's.
[West begins pacing somewhat.]
The good news is, it will very likely wear off in a short amount of time. Until then, speaking over the journals or through another form of writing should help with any desperately necessary communication. Now- was there anything you needed to get done today? Shopping, personal visits, appointments; things like that?

"I'm like a bird,
I'll only fly away.
I don't know where my soul is,
I don't know where my home is
All I need for you to know is
Your faith in me brings me to tears."
[Its the closest she can get to a "thank you" in her current condition. She isn't sure why all her emotions keep flirting to the top through song, but anything she can't rigorously control drives her crazy.]
[ooc: So I was supposed to log with Alexi and possibly Kanin during this event. Did you want to participate? If not I can backdate it to before this convo.]

[West just smiles happily back.]
