The Park - Thursday afternoon

[mages_suck]

Fenris was in the park looking up at the trees as if they'd somehow betrayed him. "Your leaves were green three days ago," he accused.

The trees didn't answer. His eyes narrowed. "It's not even that cold yet." Said the man who'd been bundled up as though he were exploring the Arctic just a few days prior. In his defense, he'd been carrying a snake at the time.

The trees still didn't answer.

Glowering, he threw himself down on a park bench. One leg drawn up and tented, he rested his chin on his knees and ..well.. brooded.. about the starkening landscape.

The ducks floated by to look at him curiously.

"What are you looking at?"

The ducks didn't answer any more than the trees did.

He wasn't having much luck with conversation today.

[Park is open. Broody McElfEars is both brooding and having the elf ears.]

"Orange head -- oh! You know what, I think that's the most plausible explanation I've heard yet for those things?" Or she liked it best, whatever. "You're right, though, it's pretty quiet around here for the most part. Every now and then there's a bit of excitement of the scrappy variety, but eh. Good excuse to branch out a little bit, right?"

"Have you heard many other explanations for them?" Fenris asked with interest, "I've heard none and gathered my own conclusion. Someone at the store keeps putting them in rows, and that's just not how they should be displayed. I've spent no few hours stacking them properly outside the doorway."

He brushed his hair off his forehead. "There's been precious little excitement since I've been here. My roommate did just turn into a snake for a week, which was a surprise but not a very exciting one. I'm happy to have the work with the jobs, though. Otherwise, I fear I'd be bored right out of my skin."

"Some harvest holiday thing," Peebee said airily, waving a hand, "but everything I've learned about the holidays around here makes it seem like however they started, they turn out to be something completely different, and good luck finding people who actually remember what the original point is. I'm not sure they even really care, as long as they have an excuse to party, or eat candy, or whatever."

Humans were weird.

"As for the excitement, I hear you. There's some loooooong dry stretches where you have to make your own fun, but that's a useful life skill anyway, if you ask me. Was your roommate at least a cool snake?"

"An excuse to party or eat candy seems a better reason than some," he allowed, "even if that's not very exciting."

He smirked a little, "He became an emerald tree boa. Suited him, since he's green even as a man. He didn't eat, though I've been told snakes don't eat very often. Still, it was worrisome. He's back to normal now and making up for it. We are both hoping it will be a long stretch before either one of us turns into an animal of any sort."
