His wandering, shoed-in feet eventually led him to other parts of the forest. Parts that seemed louder, more erratic with its movements and choice of colors. Soon enough he was standing in front of the fourth tree, brow lifted in a rare expression of curiosity.
4/5
8: You reach a tree with stripes. Trees with stripes, how silly!
"I beg your pardon," says the tree with stripes, "but I am not silly at all. In here everything is possible and anything is impossible and therefore a tree with stripes is completely within everything and anything." Its stripes change colours. "Now, give me a good, good shake. I want to get some more colour out. Shake me really well, if you do I'll reward you."
If you shake the tree it laughs happily and then spits out a fragment. It bids you your merry way as you continue walking. +1 fragment.
The novelty of talking trees had worn off, but the sight of one that was striped was just...amusing, even if he'd never been the sort that was easily amused. The tree certainly didn't seem to think so, but it seemed in a jolly mood. Enough that, at its request, he obliged without too much questioning.
Hey, at least it didn't ask him to answer another damned riddle. He'd put claws to bark if he heard another one of those long, slender trees echoing that same few lines of nonsense, and certainly not in a pleasant way.
His attempts to the shake the tree do not go unnoticed, and as odd as it was to behold a laughing tree (and likely even odder still, the teen that was shaking it) the effort was rewarded with something falling and clinking and hitting against his gray shoes. Ah, gray shoes so paled beside what looked to be a...fragment of some kind.
He picked it up curiously and, without really having to think for some reason, he tipped his hat and tossed the fragment in before replacing it and going on his way.

Having engaged in a remarkably one-sided conversation with the signpost, Waxwing gazed at it in bafflement before deciding that, again, it was best to just play along. Explore, huh? He could do that.
He approached a tree more or less at random, and was rewarded for his polite throat-clearing non-greeting with sass: "I don't think so, the last people who were here were terribly mean about it. Terribly, terribly mean and it just won't do anymore. If you come any closer I will have to resort to violence I mean it! Don't come any closer!"
"Yeah, man," he said cautiously, looking not at all impressed. "Got it. Sure thing."

"Oh dear," said Clopper at the sight of the sobbing tree. A second "Oh dear," followed the first after he had heard the tree's unhappy plight.
"I will help you look for it. Umm...Mr. Tree," Clopper said as he began searching the leaf strewn ground.

He tried for politeness on his second attempt, and actually said: "Uh. Hi."
This made him look like a fool, as the signposted tree said nothing in return. He thought briefly of a scene in Watership Down: Fiver dreaming of a man painting a noticeboard, and the man trying to explain that the board "says" that Hazel is dead. The letters lifting their sharp black heads to laugh and chatter.
Only this tree wasn't saying anything in that sense, either. It wasn't really saying anything at all.

Teeth should exist in a mouth. There are things Waxwing can tolerate, but disembodied teeth hit the "creeped out" button much faster than talking trees and shifting earth.
"You seem a little lost", says the smiling set of teeth, "but not to worry. Everyone's quite lost here. I hope you find your way, there's so much more for you to get lost in."
"I think you've--" he began, but the teeth vanished in a way that also should not happen.
"A cat without grin," he said aloud. And then despite himself he was excited. Somewhere someone was playing croquet using a flamingo and hedgehogs, he knew it. This was infinitely better than the Tear.

Clopper finally stood up with a creaking back. "I am sorry Mr. Tree but your glasses are nowhere to be found," the tiny sprite said as he hastily backed away to avoid being caught up in the tree's unhappiness.

3: You reach a tiny tree and it looks up at you and only has a row of smiling teeth. "Guess what I'm hiding!"

If you don't guess the tree looks disappointed. "Oh, okay..." It does not give you a fragment.
The Woods she was at was full of unique trees, each has distinctive personality just like human. She looked around and paused on a tiny tree. Of course tiny people noticed tiny tree. It has a vivid boy voice and was eager to let her guess what it was hiding.
"You are hiding something in your mouth right?" She squatted down to show respect to the little tree. That's how you treat tiny people in a proper way. "A fruit?" She tried. The tree crossed its small branches to give her a cross. "Um....it should be something very small....a stone?" It seemed happy that the rabbit girl guessed wrong and opened its mouth.
"Oh that's lovely. Can I have it?" She asked with a smile.
"Sure! I have no use to it." The tree was still please and smug.
"Thank you, little friend."

The fourth tree seemed to be another of the silent sort, but without really understanding why he supposed that maybe it just preferred eye contact.
He attempted to brush aside its--branches? hair?--and retreated hastily when this raised the tree's ire. Understandably, he realized.

Honestly, no. He didn't think he could get any more lost. Until he found that tree, and narrowed his eyes at it. Inredulous.

9: You reach a tree with a lot of signs on it. The signs read "This, Way, To, Nowhere, And, Everywhere." They are in separate signs, and the "And" is a separate sign of its own. This is a very informative tree!
But, despite himself, Kiin followed the way each sign pointed and tried to see as far as his coal red eyes would let him. Which wasn't very far in any of the directions, and so after followed the way the "Everywhere" sign pointed he turned and took a seat, leaning back against the tree as he closed his eyes.
He didn't a clearer head if he needed to actually decide on which of the signs to follow. Or if he would follow it at all...but he was tired and he felt like taking a seat. He'd examined his five trees, so that had to mean something, right?
He snorted.

He hadn't actually said aloud that anything was silly, but he was thinking it, with the sort of keen pleasure a Potter fan might have felt to have suddenly and against all expectations passed through the wall between platforms 9 and 10.
"I beg your pardon," says the tree with stripes, "but I am not silly at all. In here everything is possible and anything is impossible and therefore a tree with stripes is completely within everything and anything." Its stripes change colours. "Now, give me a good, good shake. I want to get some more colour out. Shake me really well, if you do I'll reward you."
Well hell, who was he to deny a polite request? He obliged, and was rewarded with a shiny thing. This felt familiar too. He tucked it into a pocket which he realized instinctively was unrealistically capable of holding a great many things. This, too, was silly.

1: The first tree is a long tree, and bends down to look at you with hollow sleepy eyes as you reach over. "Oh, please, you're not putting your hand in my nose are you? That's so very disgusting, and I'm afraid I haven't cleaned up yet. Very disgusting indeed. Come back again when I'm clean."
When you come back the tree is gone.
Clopper was dismayed. He hadn't realized that he had gotten his hands stuck in a tree's nose. With sappy sticky fingers, the small sprite had hurriedly left to find a puddle in which to wash his hands in.
"I probably should apologize to the poor thing," thought Clopper to himself as he sat washing his hands. "It must have seemed very rude,"
"But oh dear...the tree isn't there any longer. Where could it have gone?" thought Clopper to himself. "Guess I will have to keep searching"

Farewell with the little tree, Waiting2Bloom heard someone sobbing, or better says a tree was crying. Glasses! Glasses is important, okay! "Um...I wish I would give you mine, but they don't seem fitting..." The rabbit frowned. "I will search the surroundings to see if I can find it, what does it look like, Mr. Tree?"
"It's just a normal pair, but with thick thick lenses. Wuwuwu, I am afraid someone would step onto it wuwuwuuuuuu."

She looked around, stirred through the grassland, climbed up another tree to check if there was a pair of glasses within the nest, but the only things she could see were some glowsticks, some pennies and a few more accessories, no sign of glasses.
"Sorry I can't find it, it might be taken by someone else.....Don't worry! I will ask if other trees saw it."
The rabbit girl poked her chest with her fist.

When the second tree spoke up, Divinity did not even look phased. Instead he smiled brightly.
"I beeet. You are hiding some delightful thing! You should share it with me." And true to form, it was co-operative and handed over the fragment. To thrive here he was going to have to embrace the erratic nonsense in kind. He consciously withdrew his logical mind, submerging himself further in the persona, losing himself as much as was necessary. There were others around, they would be watching him soon enough.
He tossed the fragment from hand to hand as he jauntily sauntered away.

Still feeling sorry for the sobbing tree, she met with one with stripes. She never see a striped tree before, not even in her dream. She could just stared at it with disbelief. "Sorry Mr - Stripe, but I didn't think you are silly, you are so - great looking." The rabbit girl did feel a bit guilty but in a total different sense. She couldn't dare to tell what she was thinking.... She wanted Z to shut up, why he was in her dream.
Pantsu Warning
When the tree started to change its stripes color - the rabbit girl's mind was filled up with striped panties of different colors.
@_@lll
She did want to help, so she shook it vigiriously as if she wanted to throw away her thoughts. The laughing of the tree even seemed like to tease her and she blushed like a tomato.
When she was done, she was a little bit exhausted but still able to catch the shiny thing flew out of the tree.
