[is it any surprise that, upon seeing the Commander's message, Oliver (and his ever-present backpack) went right for those lifts and wound up in the red forest? no? didn't think so. he's currently in the midst of the trees, one hand just letting go of the sphere, showing that he turned it on purposefully]So I tried to catch the Commander after

[hear that sound? that's the doctor smacking a hand to his forehead before he speaks]

Ollie...barging headlong into the thick of things again, eh?

[oliverplus]

Well, you can't catch somebody if you wait!

[bit_impossible]

[mutters something about companions always wandering away into some strange situation, but they've been through this argument before. and really, had he not gotten wrapped up in his own work again, he'd be right up there as well.]

So, wooden statues you say? How old do you think?

[oliverplus]

Uh...they all seem to be a bit different, actually. Some look new, but some have moss growing on them already.

[dawnward]

Err, Oliver, wouldn't going with someone else be safer?

[...says Riku, who is also there, albeit in a different part of the forest]

[oliverplus]

That's why I've got the sphere on! And I wasn't exactly planning to come out here when I started...

Where are you, Riku?

[dawnward]

You could have contacted someone once you saw what was in here? We don't know what might jump out at us.

I'm not that far fro the elevator. I'm trying to find higher ground.

[oliverplus]

I did! That's why I'm talking to you now.

Did you want to meet up?

[tsundereisms]

[she's still clearly suffering from her injuries she received in Chicago, but that's not going to stop her from exploring!]

Those statues look like they're from a story.

[oliverplus]

[nods] Yeah, that's what I was thinking.

[glances at her] Where are you, Haruhi? You're not in hospital anymore?

[tsundereisms]

Maybe we're in a story too!

[looks around blatantly ignoring his question.]

[oliverplus]

Maybe. [an illusion would be a bit like a story...]

[okay, more direct approach, then] Haruhi, you're in the forest, too, right?

[celestial_okami]

[Aruu? There is a confused headtilt as Ammy watches him--WAIT! A squirrel! What is up with this ark?! Ammy will have to investigate! Ollie wouldn't mind if she came to look around with him too, would he?]

[oliverplus]

Hey, Ammy! Want to join me in the crazy forest?

[celestial_okami]

[She barks, jumping to her feet. Go exploring? She likes this idea!]

((ooc: asdkgjhfgh, I thought I'd replied to this earlier. I'm so sorry~!))

[oliverplus]

Okay, you just have to come through Chicago to get here. Do you know the way?

[ooc: No worries! I won't be home much until Saturday myself.]

[not_that_lockon]

About those statues, other than wondering if there's any artistic natives that we should be aware of, I've got nothing.

[oliverplus]

Maybe there's more to the squirrels here than meets the eye.

[not_that_lockon]

That's vaguely frightening.

[oliverplus]

It kinda is...
