[Anyone out near the edge of the woods will find Jenny throwing her knives at a tree. Her usual smiling face has been replaced by a more serious one for once as if something is on her mind, and instead of practicing, she seems to be taking everything out on the tree she's throwing her knives at. Go ahead, feel free to poke her.]

[She's going to ignore that first comment.]

The big question is, where is it? I'm telling you, there's got to be something that we're overlooking. Something obvious perhaps that's right in front of our faces.

[colony_brat]

[Probably for the best.]

No idea. I've tried walkin' the entire thing, but that was only for what I could reach. It goes into the ground apparently. I know that much. It also goes all the way up or someone who can fly woulda already gotten out. Maybe we should just walk up and say open.

[mydadsthedoctor.livejournal.com]

Well, it's simple enough.

[She's messing around a little now.]

[colony_brat]

Tryin' ta blow a hole in it didn't work. Think I said open when I was yellin' at it. Said a lotta things.

[mydadsthedoctor.livejournal.com]

Bet you didn't try saying "open sesame."

[colony_brat]

[laughs] No, I sure didn't. Think it'll work?

[mydadsthedoctor.livejournal.com]

Don't know. Perhaps it will, and perhaps it won't. Never really know until you try.

[colony_brat]

True. Whatcha think? Wanna see if we can't walk out there and yell at the damn thing? How long's it take ta get to the barrier these days? It's been a while since I got up there and I know it's moved.

[mydadsthedoctor.livejournal.com]

Depends which section of the barrier we go to, but I suppose it wouldn't hurt. At the very least it will give us something to do.

[colony_brat]

Yeah, stop us from thinkin' 'bout Ru and everythin' else. Well, where to, lady, and how long? Couple hours?

[mydadsthedoctor.livejournal.com]

Well, if you think you can keep up with me then I could knock it down to about half that time.

[colony_brat]

[Duo turns his head to look at her.] Ya look human, but so does Ru and the boy floats. What 'bout you? What do I have ta keep up with?

[mydadsthedoctor.livejournal.com]

[You'll be getting a bit of a mischievous grin from her.] I only look human.

[And she'll be jumping up into the branches of the tree now.] Traveling through the trees is faster. As I said though, that's if you think you can keep up.

[colony_brat]

[Duo's head tips back to look up before cursing.] The hell I can jump through trees. We didn't even have the damn things on L2. I can run under you, but that's the best I got.

[He stands up and stretches.] Sorry ta just be human.

[mydadsthedoctor.livejournal.com]

[She laughs as she takes a seat on one of the lowest branches.] What? You think we had trees on Messa? I honestly had never seen a tree until I came here.

[colony_brat]

[snorts] Least I was on Earth 'fore comin' here. Still think the fresh air's weird, but I can't say it's bad. Alright, don't let me in the dirt, blondie, or I'll tell a redhead you were mean... then again, he'll just laugh at me.

[Duo sighs, knowing he's going to make a fool of himself, but what else can he do? He's bored and worried, bad combination.] Direction?

[mydadsthedoctor.livejournal.com]

[She's going to jump down to the ground as she's not the type to leave people behind, and she knows she will if she stays up there. She'll then begin walking in the direction of the barrier.]

I wish I had gotten the chance to visit Earth.

[colony_brat]

Ya know I can still run even if it's not in the trees. Earth's nice 'nough. Depends on what ya wanna see. [He starts jogging to speed up their pace. He does have something er- one to get back to.]

[mydadsthedoctor.livejournal.com]

[You don't have to tell her twice to get her to speed up, and it won't be difficult for her to keep up with him either. After all, one of Jenny's favorite things to do is run.]

My dad said Britain's nice.

[colony_brat]

[Yes, all the non-humans are going to give Duo a complex. Still, he speeds up to a pace he's comfortable with and should be able to keep up for at least an hour without strain. He thinks back through missions, trying to remember Britain and not what he was doing.]

Yeah, guess it's nice 'nough.
