[esoteric_rose]

[The Vine opens to show a young girl, one with short, bright red hair and glasses. Her white shift is entirely too big for her, and she looks at the mirror in complete confusion.]

Where is this? I don't get it...

[She pauses, thinking.]

And the dress is too big. If fairies are going to give you clothes, they might not make them so big.

[Yes, she thinks it's fairy doing.]

[[ooc: Grell has returned back to the Gardens, and ended up with a wild card after wandering about to the wild places. She is currently six years old, and has no memories of being here before.]]

[Hey that looks a lot like...]

...Miss Grell?

[Except she's awfully smaller than Black Jack remembers.]

[esoteric_rose]

How do you know my name?

[She gasps and pulls the fabric tighter around herself, stepping back from the mirror.]

Are you a fairy too?

[lifes_expensive]

We know each other, but it seems you don't remember.

[Man, this place really likes to mess with people.]

[But she chuckles at that.]

No, I'm not. Just a regular human.

[esoteric_rose]

Good. Because if you were a fairy I'd have to tell you this doesn't fit.

[lifes_expensive]

It does look a little big for you.

[...well she does still have a few of Pinoko's old things.]

Would you like something different?

[drinkswithminors]

I take it that fairies subscribe to a one-size-fits-all mentality. Just a wild guess.

[esoteric_rose]

But it doesn't fit. Why are they that stupid?

[drinkswithminors]

Well I'm told faeries aren't the smartest things.

[esoteric_rose]

[She flops over in the grass.]

I'm not going to take it off though. It's soft.

[drinkswithminors]

Can't blame you. I kept mine, even after getting better clothes.

[hungry_like_the_wolf]

That you, red?

[esoteric_rose]

My name's not red. It's Grell.

[hungry_like_the_wolf]

So it is you... You got tiny.

[esoteric_rose]

What do you mean, lady? [Honest confusion.]

[hungry_like_the_wolf]

Last time I saw ya, you were a hell of a lot taller.

[jemerite]

You're back.

[esoteric_rose]

But you don't make sense. Can't be back if I never was here.

[jemerite]

You don't remember?

[She tilts her head. Well. She is tiny...]

That happens, sometimes. Were you in the wilds?

[esoteric_rose]

I do remember it being hot. With a lot of plants...and then there was a big wolf, but it was like a really nice dog, and it put me here!

[jemerite]

Wolf?

[...hm.]

Maybe you will be normal again, soon.

[reallyerotic]

You should keep it anyways. You'll grow into it at some point.

Probably.

[esoteric_rose]

How long is that going to take?

[reallyerotic]

Several years, I imagine.

[esoteric_rose]

That's too long.

[reallyerotic]

But don't you think that the wait would be worth it?
