Real life, I'm sad to see you go

I'm Reynard... it means fox, but I'm not a fox... Look at my tail, it's striped. I'm a red panda. Nothing else. Call me Rey though. Or Reynard. It doesn't matter. Don't bother me or my trees and I won't bother you.

I found myself in the forest this morning.

[hatterbird]

I am! I can’t wait for everything to start blooming and growing again. It’s going to be so beautiful!

[reynard-the-red]

Will you visit me again when the trees wake up? I have not had a friend to watch the leaves with before. I just made friends this year. Good friends though. It was a good year for friends.

[hatterbird]

I found myself in the forest this morning.

[hatterbird]

I’m sure there’s a good reason. They aren’t the sort to just forget you, and you are hard to forget.

And I’ve got good news, Reynard. The leaves will be coming back in a little while. It’s gonna get warm again.

[reynard-the-red]

Thanks, Cora. I'm sure there is. I won't forget them.

Really? [chitters happily] I miss the leaves! The trees will wake up and be happy! Cora! Are you excited for the leaves?

[hatterbird]

I found myself in the forest this morning.

[hatterbird]

Oh, dear, no, what happened to them? I hope they’re all right. Have you been all right?

[reynard-the-red]

I don't know. Maybe they are scared of the Forest. Maybe they made other friends.

I've been cold. The leaves are gone so the trees are colder than they used to be.

[hatterbird]

I found myself in the forest this morning.

[hatterbird]

Reynard! Oh, yes, of course.

And I thought of you. Why hasn’t anyone come to visit you?

[reynard-the-red]

Thank you, Cora.

Jenny is gone. Poppy is gone. I don't know where they are. They are my  friends. You are too. You're the only one I have seen in a long time.

[hatterbird]

I found myself in the forest this morning.

And I don’t at all remember how I got there.

[reynard-the-red]

Cora! Cora, you're here! You came to visit me!

No one visits me anymore.

[notsolittlefrenchgirl]

Business is slow

[notsolittlefrenchgirl]

Business at my repair shop.

No one’s come in for days

[reynard-the-red]

Repair... Do you build things too?

[notsolittlefrenchgirl]

Business is slow

As usual…

[reynard-the-red]

What kind of business?

[kacy-yadav-deactivated20130811]

Ah...

[kacy-yadav-deactivated20130811]

Well kid I can guarantee it’ll take a lot more money then you probably have. Even if you did have the money you’d have to get to an airport and then you’d need to have the money to get out of the country.

[reynard-the-red]

What if I just walked there? I walk everywhere in the city and in the Forest. I'm good at walking.

[kacy-yadav-deactivated20130811]

Ah...

[kacy-yadav-deactivated20130811]

Uh, well there weren’t a lot of trees in the places that I’ve seen but… I here some places in Europe and Asia have large forests.

[reynard-the-red]

I want to go there. I love trees. How much money do I need to go there?

[kacy-yadav-deactivated20130811]

Ah...

[kacy-yadav-deactivated20130811]

Depends on where you look.

[reynard-the-red]

Where are there lots of trees?

[kacy-yadav-deactivated20130811]

Ah...

[kacy-yadav-deactivated20130811]

I always forget most you guys have never been outside the fence. Trust me kid, there’s much, much more past those gates. Well, after a few miles anyway. The first few miles are worse then in here.

[reynard-the-red]

What's it like? Are there lots of trees?

[kacy-yadav-deactivated20130811]

Ah...

[kacy-yadav-deactivated20130811]

Legally, with a enough money and papers you could… or you could drop dead.

[reynard-the-red]

Why would anyone want to leave? We have the city and the Forest. What else is there?

[kacy-yadav-deactivated20130811]

Ah...

[kacy-yadav-deactivated20130811]

Mads, most exciting thing in this god forsaken city. Right above people trying to escape here with a bit of smarts and fight in ‘em.

[reynard-the-red]

I don't like them at all. They're mean and rude.

People try to leave? I didn't know that anyone could.

[kacy-yadav-deactivated20130811]

Ah...

[kacy-yadav-deactivated20130811]

You’re awfully worried about this aren’t you? Little odd for someone as jumpy as you to be out here isn’t it?

[reynard-the-red]

Yes. People attack me sometimes.

I was running from a Mad. They like to chase me. They want to steal my tail. I ran into the trees and out of the Forest. They are not following me anymore.

[kacy-yadav-deactivated20130811]

Ah...

[kacy-yadav-deactivated20130811]

Well you see, once you’ve seen as many scary things as I have, and heard as many gunshots as I have, you really stop giving a shit.

[reynard-the-red]

Why don't you give a shit? It's scary. You could die.

[kacy-yadav-deactivated20130811]

Ah...

[kacy-yadav-deactivated20130811]

The thing with the day time is, all the annoying people are awake. Though as it would seem a good amount of them are awake at night too.

[reynard-the-red]

The people that are out at night are scary though. I hear gun shots and sometimes screams at night.
