My mushrooms bring everyone to the yard

Jasminia Merrick trotted through the Sacred Forest to gather some berries and mushrooms. She wanted to help buy her dress for the wedding from the profits of her trip. Jerome could probably easily purchase the dress for her but she didn't want him to feel as if she wasn't helping somehow. Jasminia noticed a tiny speck of red in the bushes. She dug through the bush to find a raspberry then put the berry in her basket.

Jasminia kept gather berries and mushrooms until she found herself deep into the forest. She had never been quite so far into the forest but assumed she would be okay. How far back could it be anyways? Jasminia noticed a wooden door covered by vines. A sign on the door said don't enter without an axe. Minia didn't have a ax but assumed if she didn't go in very far she wouldn't need one. She pushes the door open with her right hand still holding the berry basket in her left. As soon as she enters she sees all types of shiny colorful mushrooms.

Minia picks up one of the shiney mushrooms to inspect it. It is a dark royal blue with bright yellow spots on it. She had never seen such a mushroom. Typically she would take a mushroom home and wash it off before she ate it but this one was just alluring. Jasminia takes a bite out of the mushroom. It tastes really good so she continues to eat the entire mushrooms. She continues walking around the forest picking up the shrooms and putting them into her basket. It doesn't take long before the harmful effects of the mushroom make her dizzy. She puts her hand to her forehead and feels that she is really hot. The forest begins to turn dark as Jasminia blacks out. The basket hits the grass at the same time she does...............

Nyssa was bored and the supermarket didn't have any customers today -- so like any responsible adult she closed the shop early and decided to wander into the forest, hoping to find some wild animals to play with.

How strange. She didn't find any critters running around today; she had been searching for almost an hour and a half now. Usually people could easily spot birds, squirrels, raccoons, rabbits, or something going about their evrday busiess. The forest had gone all quiet today. Too quiet, almost barren even. "Aw. Where are theeeeeeeey? Where is everyone!?"

Nyssa walked further into the forest and saw a door wide-open. She crossed her arms. "What the hell? What is a door doing in the middle of a forest? There isn't even a walll here!" Nyssa walked through the door anyway to inspect the entity further and saw a body lying on the ground.

Nyssa gasped as she slowly made her way to it. "W-w-what is this?! I mean, who -- oh my Goddess. Is she even alive?"

Nyssa slapped the woman fifteen times on each cheek, sobbing.

Jasminia can feel small tingles upon her cheek as Nyssa continues to slap at them. She tries to open her eyes but they feel so very heavy. Minia lets out a slight grunt as she tries to form words they simply do not come out. The last thing she can remember is picking the mushrooms. Everything after that is blank. The stinging of her cheeks continue and she wonders if she is being stung by bees. This time she successfully opens one eye to see a women she has never met before.

The little lady has a plump round face with very pale skin much like her own. She is small and has pretty caramel colored eyes. Her eyes are filled with water and Jasminia wonders what it is she seems to be so upset about. As much as she wishs to question the lady she hasn't fully regained all the functions of her body that she needs. So she flickers her eyes with hope that Nyssa will notice she is awake.

"WHY'D YOU DIE!? WHYYYYYYYYY!? -- is there anybody out here? This woman is dead!" weep, weep.

Oh.

Did she just blink? Oh yes, there, she did it again. And again. And again. And yet again. And again.

Okay, this was getting annoying. Nyssa shook the woman quite aggressively making her pointy hat topple off, beaming. "You're alive. I was so scared -- especially since I was the only one present and if people questioned you about your death I would look like your murderer, or something. Oh, nice hat."

Nyssa wore her hat.

This women was yelling at the top of her lungs and for the life of her she couldn't figure out why. After being shaken to the point were she could just about throw up the mushroom she ate Jasminia sits up to get the crazy lady to stop. "Yes, Yes, I'm alive. But you say if people questioned me about my death? If I was dead how would they question me?" Minia burps one good time and covers her mouth with her left hand. "E~excuse me."

She watches as Nyssa picks up her hat and places on her head. Minia hasn't been wearing her oh so traditional witch hat but just as luck would figure upon meeting a new person she does. I would be worried that she would think I am odd, but at this point I think SHE is odd. Plucking one of the mushrooms out of the basket she shoves it into the ladies face. "You see this? Apperently I shouldn't have eaten this."

Yuri · 09-10-2011, 10:16 PM

"Here, eat this! You'll get your strength back."

Nyssa took out a bar of chocolate from her dress pocket and shoved it in the girl's face. She didn't really bother keeping any other food with her other than chocolate -- but this person needed some sugar in their body anyway. Nyssa knew atleast that much.

Nyssa cocked at her to the side at the mushroom. She poked it. "Hey, that's a nightlight mushroom! --- eh.. that's what my grandmother calls it anyway. I don't know if it's 'actually' called that. They glow at night, you know? Which is why I'm guessing those are called that; you aren't suppose to eat those.. you get an upset stomach for days."

Okay, maybe Nyssa knew about some stuff.

The shopkeeper stood up observing the place with her eyes narrowed and lips pouted, her hands on her hips as usual. "What is this place? For some reason it seems familiar. What if it's.. Wonderland?"

Jasminia accepted the bar of chocolate from the lady and unwrapped it. She takes the bar and begins to nibble at it. I'm not sure that chocolate is actually going to be of any help but I would feel rude if I turned it down. Between the bites of chocolate she listens to Nyssa describe what she thinks the mushroom is. "A nightlight mushroom?" Minia looks down at the brightly colored mushroom. Well it could glow in the nightlight. I'll have to take one home and see. I've just got to make sure Jerome won't eat one.

"So now I have to look forward to a upset tummy for days? Well that's no fun at all!" Jasminia's stomach makes some narly sounds after she mentions the upset stomach. "Who are you anyways? I'm Jasminia Merrick by the way." Nyssa stands up making quite a face as Minia continues to sit on the grass. "Well... I really have no idea what this place is. I've lived here all my life and have never seen this part of the forest. The sign on the door says 'Don't enter without a Ax' but I suppose it could be Wonderland."

Nyssa suddenly decided to sit on the grass, crossed legged. "I am the Harvest Goddess."

The short-haired girl extended a finger towards the longer-haired one with her eyes closed. "And you, my dear, are my Harvest Sprite. Jasminia, the Harvest Sprite. Which makes you my.. slave. Hahahaha! -- I shall call you Jasmine from now on, if that's okay?

-- wait, why am I even asking you, I'm the Harvest Goddess; I just bestowed this title on you, oh puny Harvest Sprite slave of mine."

fruitonthevine · 09-10-2011, 11:11 PM

Jasminia drops the bar of chocolate onto the ground. This woman is bat crazy. BAT CRAZY. She is fairly sure this is not the time to play with someone that is obviously a few marbles short of a full basket but cannot help herself. "You are THE harvest goddess humm? Well why isn't your hair long and green like the goddess." Jasminia crosses her eyes as the girl points her finger in her face. "I thought a harvest sprite is suppose to be tiny. I'm anything but tiny."

Jasminia plucks her hat from the girls head and puts it back on her own. "You see this hat? Well I'm a witch. At least I look like a witch!" She thinks about making the crazy lady eat one of the nightlight shrooms to calm her down. But it could just make her more crazy than she already is. "Even if I was your Harvest Sprite, I wouldn't be your slave."

Yuri · 09-10-2011, 11:22 PM

Nyssa gasped.

"The insolence! How dare you talk to your Harvest Goddess in this manner, Jasmine the Harvest Sprite slave?" Nyssa stood up and shook her head just in case the hat made her hair messy. "I am the Harvest Goddess disguised as a very beautiful human, okay!? -- just so that other people don't recognize me and take advantage of me. You, on the other hand, were given height by me at birth so people don't make fun of you."

Nyssa laughed at the girl calling herself a witch. "-- that's really funny! But let's get serious over here. You, Jasmine the Harvest Sprite slave, have insulted your amazing queen and broke her fragile heart -- and therefore, you shall be punished." Nyssa grabbed a couple of leaves from a nearby bush and threw them at Jasminia's face.
