Setting: An Enchanted Forest

[herzlose_prinzessin]

Help me! Help me!

[This particular cry does not come from the white-haired girl wandering through the forest, but from a nearby apple tree. Mytho does not appear to be particularly disturbed by the voice, and she turns to look placidly at the tree.]

What's wrong?

[The tree heaves a great sigh.]

My apples, one and all, are so very ripe! Won't someone shake me?

[Mytho barely considers this before saying:] Okay.

[Without another word, Mytho reaches up and begins to shake the branches with a surprising amount of strength, considering her petite size. Apples are now raining down on all and sundry.]

Wha—

[Ducking and jumping out of the way.]

Hey, be careful!

Don't mind the icons- there just isn't a lot of genderbent Mytho fanart out there.

[herzlose_prinzessin]

Okay.

[Mytho ceases shaking the tree. What few apples are left plummet to the ground, one of them clonking her on the shoulder. The tree lets out a great sigh of relief as Mytho approaches Archer.]

Are you hurt?

[independantservant]

No, not at all. But why were you shaking that poor tree?

[herzlose_prinzessin]

It asked me to.

[Because that's a perfectly normal thing for a tree to do.]

The tree said it needed help.

[independantservant]

You shouldn't always listen when people—er, things—say that. Sometimes they lie.

But, what did the tree need help with?

[folkscallmewander]

[Wander cannot ignore a cry for help, even in the middle of his morning stroll. He runs over to where he heard the voice, only to find a girl shaking an apple tree]

'Scuse me, ma'am? Did you need any help with pickin' those apples?

[He carefully approaches the tree, checking the air above him for any precariously hanging apples]

Will ya be a-needin' any basket to carry all those? Got one right here!

[He reaches into his spacious hat and pulls out a medium-sized picnic basket. When he swings it around by the handle to his front, his wobbles a bit as if he were slinging around something with weight]
