For all that the world was different, at least the trees were the same.
Sure, there were reports of some kind of fungus thing going on in the woods, but what Lily concerned herself with were the sturdy boughs and great limbs that could hold her aloft on an early spring day. Class was out, she wasn't planning to film any material until tomorrow, and she hadn't been texted back by anyone who wanted to hang out, so she chose to solo-hang instead, on a solid oak in one of the parks by campus. Held upside down by the crook of her knees, she had her phone extended out to take a selfie, her face contorted into a snarl. She took another one with her tongue sticking out, and a third baring her teeth, but by the fourth she felt herself beginning to lose steam. In the absence of any outside stimulus, she pocketed her phone and looked out at nothing in particular, taking in the ambient sounds of nature, traffic, and the screaming kids on the nearby playground.
Soothing.

"Oh, um, yeah...party gift," Lily tilted her head to one side, her bangs getting caught on the nubby horns at her hairline. "I scared a barista once, it was kind of awesome but then I felt bad because she got milk on her shoes."
She rubbed her forearm sheepishly, then looked back to Noeh. "You, uhh...want my phone so you can type stuff?" Reaching for her pocket, she slid out the small device, holding it out. "Might be less work than charades."

Lily's eyes flickered over the screen of the phone, and she frowned. "Oh s**t, that sucks," she responded, emphatic and gravid. "I'm sorry. I, uh...yeah, that's rough."
She waited patiently while Noeh typed more, then shook her head. "Melany? Like...Lady Badass in Grey Melany? I haven't seen her since..." Lily choked before she could say 'the stabs', choosing to cough instead. "...the, uh, party thing. Are you meeting up with her or something?"
Lily wasn't sure what to think of Lady Melany just casually meeting people in the park. It was terrifying, but she kind of wanted to wait and see her anyway.
