As she got closer to what turned out to be the Crownseling Office, Pyry would hear one voice that sounded rather familiar: that of Mr. Charming. "I know what you must be feeling--"
The second voice barked out a cruel laugh, speaking next. "You know? You know?!?!" The voice was deep, gravelly...grotesque, even. "Look at me, Charming. LOOK AT ME!! I'm disgusting! I'm fucking REVOLTING!! And I..." The voice hiccuped, as if choking back a sob. "...I was born to die."
"Oh, my dear, that simply isn't true! Everyone is born with a gift to bring the world."
"Ha! Bullshit! What gift do I have, huh? Money? Looks? None of that matters in the end! I'm going to die, ugly and alone, without some Prince Charming to give me a happily ever after!"
"Well, I--"
"Well NOTHING! I'm tired of this! I hate being alive! I hate it! I HATE IT!!!" Loud footsteps sounded then, headed right for the door.

Penelope couldn't help but giggle as Verde pulled her away, though it took Godiva a minute to register what she'd said. "...ExCUSE ME?!"
Ms. Blackwood chuckled at that. "Verde's right...Unless, y'know, everyone hates you from the beginning. That happens, sometimes."
The Enchanted Forest was breathtaking in the sunlight, the thick trees not hiding the dayglow. Flowers and mushrooms and moss all bloomed around, the chirping of birds only serving to complete the image of natural tranquility. "Watch your step, everyone," Ms. Blackwood warned as they walked on. "You never know where the road ends and a hedgehog's bathroom begins."
