Log Date: April 1994 Log Cast: Rosebud, Clearsight, Blackmorn, HoneyGold, Tumbleberry Log Intro: Clearsight and Blackmorn have been rendered helpless by the Preservers' wrapstuff... and rendered dreaming by the mushrooms the small creatures keep feeding them. Drifting in and out of dreams, Clearsight eventually begins to waken.... ---------- Rosebud joins you from the meadow. Rosebud has arrived. Clearsight lies tranquilly immobile, smiling softly. HoneyGold flits close, inspecting the wrapstuff on both highthings carefully. On Clearsight, the wrapstuff is secure, thickly dusted with the flower pollen. Clearsight's hair is heavy with flowers and the pollen, too; what few strands are visible between the blooms are tinted golden with the dust. Nearby, Blackmorn lies on his side, sleeping soundly. HoneyGold nods approvingly at Silversoft highting, and flits over to inspect Blackmorn, rousing a comfortably curled Tumbleberry from his flower-braided hair. Tumbleberry chitters softly in protest. /Was keeping good watch!/ Blackmorn mumbles something wordless, but does not wake. HoneyGold looks most pleased, and flits up to perch on a purple flower, leaning its head in it hands as it gazes adoringly at the highthing. All snug and asleep! Clearsight mmmmmmmmms dreamily, a thought swirling through her head..... HoneyGold flitflits, whispering with the shy Rosebud who peeks up from a neighbor flower. Clearsight half-opens her eyes, a vision of something swirling through her thoughts... a memory of standing dreamily, leaves in her hair, uncurling from her fingers..... HoneyGold flits close, hovering in front of you. /Silversoft highthink sleepydreaming?/ Clearsight murmurs thickly, "Mmmmmmmmmm?" You say "H....highthing?" HoneyGold flitflits. /silversoft highthing still all asleep. Honeygold fetch treesweets and sparklewaters?/ Clearsight smiles dreamily, murmuring, "Water... " HoneyGold busily orders Sweetrain and Rainsweet, who break off another flower and flit the short distance to the pool, filling it carefully. The twin preservers return, happily smiling as they tilt the flower toward Clearsights lips. Clearsight gives a slow languid blink, and smiles fuzzily up at the blue Preservers. Obediently, she sips at the water. HoneyGold flits. /Is good!/. Clearsight smiles vaguely to HoneyGold, as the water trickles down her throat. (Water, her thoughts ripple vaguely, with the memory of leaves still half in her mind... water is good for leaves... ) HoneyGold tilts it's head slightly, and flits close to land in silversoft hair, exchanging a slightly wilted flower for a new one. /Pretty silversoft thing all happy?/ Clearsight breathes, her voice slow and soft, "Happy... yes... silver... soft highthing... happy!" The preservers chitter happily, and flit close to gather on the branches all around. Leafdrop flits up with an armload of blue berries, trying to feed silversoft one at a time. Clearsight blinkblinks slowly.... "Can't... move... my arms....?" HoneyGold flits. /No need move arms..Honeygold fetch! Honeygold take good care!/. Clearsight finds a blue berry popped into her mouth, and she mmmmms. She swallows reflexively. "Dreamed... " The preservers flit closer, curious. /Dream?/ Clearsight mumbles, "Was... tree... " Clearsight giggles a little, bubblingly... "Tree.... silversoft tree... " Tumbleberry blinkblinks! /Silversoft tree? Silversoft not tree, is highthing!/ Clearsight ponders, and a slow smile spreads across her face. Of course that must be right... trees don't move. She giggles. "Don't... move... is like... tree... " The preservers giggle, and one of them eyes a nearby tree.. /Make tree all silversoft?/ Clearsight giggles back. Clearsight murmurs dreamily, "Silversoft... highthing... " HoneyGold finds another small, pinkish flower, and starts braiding it into your hair, singing happily to itself. Clearsight begins to hum softly along. Clearsight's face is already framed with flowers, and her features softly dusted with the pollen. HoneyGold finshes its task, and flits back, ands in its sides as it regards its work critically. /Is good! Honeygold make all pretty!/ Clearsight smiles languidly. "Pretty... pretty silversoft... highthing... " You say "Fl... flowers?" Tumbleberry flits close /Tumbleberry make silentdark highthing all pretty with flowers, too!/ Clearsight seems to taste each word, and she giggles again, dreamily. "Flowers... all flowers... " Clearsight tilts her head slightly, and her cheek brushes one of the flowers in her hair. A soft breeze blows, momentarily scattering the clouds overhead to allow a glimpse of sky. Clearsight's eyes lift to the patch of blue, dreamily..... Clearsight whispers, "Sky... blue... " Clearsight blinkblinks, something stirring in her memory... sky... stars... she frowns. The preservers flutter around, happily tending their charges. Water and berries and treesweets in abundance, offered hopefully. Clearsight murmurs, "Wasn't there... something.... I needed... " Clearsight's gaze follows the fluttering of the Preservers absently, confusedly. Blackmorn sleeps on, his face slightly flushed. HoneyGold flits. /Silversong need? Honeygold fetch!/. Clearsight murmurs, "Needed... to find... something... " You say "Was.... looking for... my name...." HoneyGold flits. /Is Silversoft! HoneyGold knows! HoneyGold say so!/. Clearsight frowns a little. "Then what... was I look... ing for....?" HoneyGold flits. /More berries!/. The giggling preservers swoop closer, and Leafdrop tries to feed you a large purple berry, chittering merrily. Clearsight blinkblinks, questioningly, but she allows herself to be fed.... [To be continued....]
