[Well, some time during his previous wanderings in the forest Lyle happened to come across a dagger and he's now sitting pretty in some get-up that looks a little like this. He's also since discovered that he's suddenly a lot more agile - which explains why he's now sitting comfortably in the branches of one of the trees.

... or at least, he was until a group of archers suddenly started shooting at him, almost making him tumble from the tree in surprise. And they don't look very friendly.]

What the hell--?!

[okay, better plan. He'll just be shimmying down this tree really fast now and running away, with the sphere happily recording every detail of this misadventure. There is no shame in running from a group of archers when you are one man with a dagger!]

Okay, the running from people I've done before, but they didn't have arrows. [As if to illustrate his point, one of the aforementioned arrows whooshes over his right shoulder. Yep, he'll just be running until he finds a place to lose them or he finds something in these new clothes that'll help him get out of this situation!]

Then I'd really like to ask him what he's doing with our face.

[mr-dynames.livejournal.com]

Maybe he saw one of us and felt the need to copy our face?

[not-that-lockon.livejournal.com]

Obviously he was jealous.

[mr-dynames.livejournal.com]

Frankly, I wouldn't blame him. [nudges with a grin on his face]

[not-that-lockon.livejournal.com]

Oh yeah, after all we're a couple of good looking people alright.

[mr-dynames.livejournal.com]

Was there any doubt?

[not-that-lockon.livejournal.com]

Of course not.

[mr-dynames.livejournal.com]

Good man. Now let's see what else we can find, hm?

[not-that-lockon.livejournal.com]

Hopefully nothing too dangerous.

[mr-dynames.livejournal.com]

Nah, we'll try to steer clear of anything too dangerous. Come on, let's keep going through this patch of woods here.

[not-that-lockon.livejournal.com]

You're the boss.

[mr-dynames.livejournal.com]

[grins a little and claps him on the shoulder for a moment before leading the way through the trees]

[following, following!]

[It appears that the trees are getting larger and thicker. 8|;;; I have a wonderful sense of direction, so there's no way in hell that we're lost. Really.]

[not-that-lockon.livejournal.com]

[suuuure]

... Neil, are we lost?

[mr-dynames.livejournal.com]

[Do not doubt me. B|]

Uh... I don't think so. I know I've seen this tree before.

[not-that-lockon.livejournal.com]

Yeah, it looks oddly like a lot of the other trees in this forest.

[mr-dynames.livejournal.com]

That's not what I mean. Look here, it's got a gouge in the bark that looks like an oval or something.

[not-that-lockon.livejournal.com]

You don't think it's our friend from before, do you?

[mr-dynames.livejournal.com]

I don't think so... these trees are all shorter.

[...Because these are all the younger trees. :|b Have two eyes opening to stare at us both, the baby tree will want to play soon.]

[not-that-lockon.livejournal.com]

[raising an arm to point at those eyes, derp!]

You sure about that?

[mr-dynames.livejournal.com]

[derp derp...]

Huh... would you look at that.

[not-that-lockon.livejournal.com]

[oh well, when in a living forest, talk to the trees...]

Hi there.

[mr-dynames.livejournal.com]

Hey.

[the tree waves eagerly at them]

[not-that-lockon.livejournal.com]

[aww, now that's cute]

So, we seem to be a little lost. Any chance of some help?
