In The Trees
(Nico - 2005)

(A C G D)
This is a story about a strange set of meetings that happened InTheTrees right here in in the online chat at OBOD
I was minding my own business when I saw a strange character in there with me with the strange sounding name, something like X2.

Then walked in a girl named GreenDruid who said she didn't love me, but I'm sure she did. Anyway, she seems to live here.
She was closely followed by a guy named Hawky, who said he loved me and hugged me, but he didn't mean it in the way it sounded, but in a man-knuffels kind of way. He also seems to live here, just like JJ.

And then a magical appearance was made by a some faeries who flew in lightly and softly landed on my shoulder to wisper sweet things in my ears.
One of them called herself MoonCloud, and the other one was Fae. Sweet little things, smiling and dancing my way.

And then danced in a Unikorn, who time traveled from the other side of the world to the other side of the year.
She's from the island of long white cloud where the sun moves widdershins and where it snows in july.

And all around me folks began to shapeshift, doing all kinds of magic, even when Az and Lily are here. (But they prolly won't admit it.)
All these people chatting and laughing, hugging and loving in our very own grove InTheTrees.

And then a magical web was weaved. Loosely connected by threads of friendship and love and fun.
Like a glassfiber otherworld, where digital creatures come alive and become real. And who said magic didn't exist?
