[There's the sound of some background noise; birds tweeting, shrubbery being trodden underfoot, but above all that there's the sound of someone- a woman- humming cheerfully.]
Oh my goodness, I don’t think I’ve ever seen this many plants before except in picture books! And isn’t it a lovely day? I’ve never had a dream before where I got to be in a forest, but if it means that I get to see lovely trees and animals like this then I don’t think I mind it at all!
[Some more happy humming can be heard, and footsteps through the undergrowth.]
My back’s all itchy. That’s funny, I don’t usually get an itchy back when I dream. Oh no, I’m not allergic to trees am I? That would be just awful! Magic Book, could you tell me if I’m allergic to trees?
[…]
Silly old Milly, of course the book isn’t going to tell you that, books can’t talk!
…I wonder if there’s a pudding tree? All my very best dreams have pudding somewhere, so it really doesn’t make a lot of sense if there isn’t a pudding tree…
[More humming, someone sure sounds cheerful. Then she stops.]
…I think I’m lost.

[Because clearly, a voice coming from the book is really going to help prove what Mihai just said.]

Re: [voice]
Date: 2011-03-05 02:01 am (UTC)[Mihai sighs, trying to figure out the best way to explain this.]
The book isn't quite normal. It's more like a telephone. I'm actually talking to you from another book.

Date: 2011-03-05 02:02 am (UTC)No way. Is that—that can't be. He'd heard just a few lines at the end, so maybe he was just hearing things; but... that voice is pretty undeniable. He wouldn't forget it.
What do I say.
What should I do?
First thing—first thing. Find her. Dangerous stuff can loom around here.]

Date: 2011-03-05 02:05 am (UTC)...How did you manage to change your voice like that?

...I don't know where I thought of that but it's pretty interesting! Maybe I didn't spend enough time in the shade today...

Can you see a village where you're at?
[...What do I do. I've never explained something like this before.]

Date: 2011-03-05 02:09 am (UTC)[Because this is totally normal after all, why wouldn't you be in her dream?]

Date: 2011-03-05 02:11 am (UTC)[...Mihai's not sure you actually get this, Milly.]
But You didn't think of it. Like I said, this isn't a dream. I know it might seem like one, but it really isn't.

Date: 2011-03-05 02:12 am (UTC)[He's already out and about as it is, but still. This is a little mind-numbing for him. I'm sure it's pretty obvious in his tone, but even more so obvious just by what Vash knows of him.
They... got a little problem to address, him and Milly.]

Date: 2011-03-05 02:12 am (UTC)It's a mysteryyyyyyy!
[Voice] Oh you. |D
Date: 2011-03-05 02:13 am (UTC)No, just tons and tons of really huge trees...
Re: [Voice/Filtered from Knives/Legato/Yuber]
Date: 2011-03-05 02:13 am (UTC)Heh, hey there big girl. Out in the forest? Did you find any clothes near you? [If the Malnosso are making you freeze so help him, he'll uh... um... give them a stern talking to!]

Date: 2011-03-05 02:15 am (UTC)Is there a river nearby? Or the sound of one?

Date: 2011-03-05 02:15 am (UTC)I think I'll go see Meryl at work for a bit. [Make sure you two have some time alone. And an empty apartment to use to keep warm in if you need to.]

Date: 2011-03-05 02:18 am (UTC)... I haven't spoken to her yet, so... I figure it would be easier in person.
[It just doesn't feel right, saying what he'd need to say over a little shitty screen, while she's out there all alone.]

[...oh boy.]
But this isn't a dream, I promise. This is real. It doesn't seem real, because you've been kidnapped and taken to a different world.
...That doesn't help my case any, does it?
[Filtered] NOT A WORD /sob
Date: 2011-03-05 02:20 am (UTC)... What do I even say...?
