[Ammy is here inspecting her forest. It's actually gotten quite overgrown! It's become hard just to pick your way through the undergrowth since there's so much of it.]

Hmmm, yes, I thought this problem might arise. Though I wonder...

[She disappears from the Plane and comes back a few minutes later--with a deer in tow. The deer looks wildly around the Plane for a moment, but Ammy's presence seems to calm it and soon it's trotting off into the forest curiously.]

I knew we could bring things here, but--! Ah, this might help, then. I shall have to ask them first, of course, but... [She nods to herself and disappears again.]

[She comes and goes many more times over the next hour. Each time she appears, there are some animals with her--rabbits, monkeys, sparrows, deer, foxes, nightingales, and wild boars. Once there's a fair menagerie on the Plane, Ammy sets to work expanding the forest--she brings up another section of river and uses her brush to grow some more trees and plants. Once the forest is really a forest, she collects all the animals and sits them down in front of her.]

I am not too sure how long you will be able to stay, so for now, please stay in or close to the forest. And if anyone ever wishes to leave, simply ask! I will be more than happy to take you back, of course. Oh, and mind the people here. Ah, I think that is it! Well then, go on! I hope you like it here~

[The animals all wander off into the forest, giving their various cries. Ammy watches them go with a self-satisfied look.]

They will do even a better job than I could at maintaining this forest.

[... What did he just witness? Talking wolf, sure, but magical talking wolf who is also a wildlife kidnapper?

Pardon the not!Frog while he stands there awkwardly, trying to make sense of what he just saw.]

[Brigitta would be staring] ...From your world?

[shinypaws.livejournal.com]

[...I am in class and I almost LOLed :D]

Ah! Hello, young one~

[herosmedal.livejournal.com]

[ROFL. I'M SORRY? XD]

... Ah. Greetings. [A-awkward bow. He is totally not sure what he should be doing right now, seeing as he's never seen anything like that in his life. The magicians on his world only have the power to curse and to destroy.]

[shinypaws.livejournal.com]

Ah, indeed! The forest was getting quite overgrown, you see.

[oldoldghost.livejournal.com]

...You brought it?

[kotaekiitenai.livejournal.com]

Yay yay! Lots of animals~!

[shinypaws.livejournal.com]

[IT'S OKAY IT WAS LOLARIOUS.]

[She bows right back.] It is nice to meet you~ Are you new here, young one?

[shinypaws.livejournal.com]

Ah, you like it? I am glad!

[shinypaws.livejournal.com]

Ah, well I brought some of it. I made the rest of it, however.

[lamb_of_gold]

Well this should liven things up, I would think.

[shinypaws.livejournal.com]

You think so? Ah, mostly I was hoping that they would take care of some of this undergrowth. Really, if this had continued it would choke out the forest!

[kotaekiitenai.livejournal.com]

Nee nee, would they let me pet them?

[shinypaws.livejournal.com]

Some of them might, although you might want to be wary of the ones with teeth. Many of them do trust people, though.

[kotaekiitenai.livejournal.com]

Yay! Imagin are just like people, sorta~!

[shinypaws.livejournal.com]

[Giggles.] Well, they will likely even be less startled by your appearance now~ I take it the same thing has happened to you that happened to Diva?

[kotaekiitenai.livejournal.com]

[Pout] Dunnooo~ but it's not like when I jump in Ryotarou.

[shinypaws.livejournal.com]

Ryotarou... [She's silent for a bit, wondering whether to comment on the fact that his scent has disappeared from the Plane.] Hm, well. I am starting to think that this is an experiment of some sort.

[kotaekiitenai.livejournal.com]

Eh? Wan-chan knows Ryotarou? [Ryuuta, unfortunately, can't tell. The "knowing where your contractee is" radar only works for the Ryotarou of his reality.] Experiment? What's that?

[herosmedal.livejournal.com]

Within the past fortnight, though not typically possessing of this form.

Was I... mistaken, or did you just cause that forest to grow?

[shinypaws.livejournal.com]

Hm, well it seems that people here are occasionally subjected to odd experiments.

Ah? Wan-chan?

[shinypaws.livejournal.com]

I see! Well, welcome to the Plane. May I ask your name, young one?

Ah, I did, yes!

[herosmedal.livejournal.com]

[For some reason, he's compelled to tell her his true name. It must be the form. He won't, though; that name doesn't belong to him anymore, and Diva gave him a nice one. He bows again.] Thank you. Frog shall suffice, though the lady Diva also bestowed 'Grenouille' upon me. I have no preference.

... I've never met one with such a blessed power.

[shinypaws.livejournal.com]

Ah, you really have no preference? Hm. Well, Diva does have good taste in things, so perhaps I shall call you Grenouille as well! It is nice to meet you, Grenouille. I am Amaterasu, sun goddess of Nippon. [She smiles.] I take it your world, as well, does not have gods and goddesses present among its people? That seems to be the case in many worlds.

[herosmedal.livejournal.com]

-- A goddess? Truly? [fdsgjkhhjkslka DOWN ON YOUR KNEES, BOY.]

There are no gods or goddesses who walk among my people, only fiends possessing arcane knowledge and dark arts.
