[For Denzel Crocker] Oh, what a tangled web *I* wove...

[blackjewelmale]

One morning, three days after his peculiar encounter with a peculiar but kindly older man, Crocker might awaken to find a parchment envelope slipped under his door, written on it in a neat if spidery hand:

Greetings, Master Crocker

Denzel was rather surpised at the letter, "That's something you don't see everyday... Master Crocker?! I like that. Yes."

After getting himself dressed, and then a cup of coffee. Crocker makes his way to the third floor corridor, "Hello?... Hello?"

Denzel stops to examinations the symbols before creaking the door open and stepping inside...

When he steps inside, he'll find a row of fur coats right in front of him, but if he takes a sniff, he'll smell fresh pine and fir needles. Not the dry kind one might find in a sachet, but right-on-the-trees needles...

(Yes, Saetan has been reading the Narnia books, and found them amusing...)

"Coats?!" How strange, at least for this place. Too normal.

That was until Denzel smells the - "PINE!?" Which draws him further in... Before stepping outside?

"Given this place this was more of what I was expecting." Standing just outside the coats, shivering. He goes to put one on.

He'll need the coat, as he'll step into what looks like a mixed forest of pines, spruces and oak trees, in mid-October, the oaks turning to russet, the pines and spruces already shedding some of their old needles, which carpet what was the floor and what's now the ground, springy yet cool underfoot. There's a trail in between the dense trees, leading up a hill...
