"Those things sound more...physics-compatible...than this, but I guess it's not like magic doesn't exist."

"Yeah. Hence, 'fantasy's answer to Ringworld'."

"Fair enough. Maybe it's an artificial planet, it still seems like the universe mostly defaults to physics."

"I wonder what kind of weirdo would look at normal planets and then build this..."

"...And they'd almost have to have been looking at Earth in particular, right? One yellow sun, one white moon..."

"There are a lot of weirdos in the world, though."

"True."

"We should probably--go exploring, or find shelter, or something, I don't know what kind of wildlife this place has and rose regen is pretty robust but it would still be an unpleasant surprise to wake up half-eaten by a bear."

"Yeah... okay, who's wearing which roses, I've got red - uh - red/black and black/white..."

"Red/black, pink/yellow, yellow/pink, blue/purple, purple/blue, black/white, white/light-blue," says Anna.

"Red/black, black/white, orange/red, pink/yellow and blue/purple."

"Pink/yellow, blue/purple, black/white and red/black."

"All right, good, we can all fly and we're not missing any roses. So I say we fly."

"Sounds good."

She rises into the air and looks around.

"I can't hardly see anything, how about you guys?"

"There continues to be bizarre floating jungle?"

"I feel like we probably don't wanna try to sleep there."

The sky is continuing to lighten, though, offering greater visibility. She squints at their surroundings. "...Uh, thaaaaaat looks like a giant snake?"

"In the jungle?"

"No, like right over there." She points. There is indeed a dimly visible form slithering through the bushes near the foot of the hill. It is large.

"Whoa. Yeah."

"I'm not sure where we should be going exactly but 'somewhere the giant snake isn't' seems like a reasonable place to start," says Anna. She looks around and flies in a snakeless direction.

Sounds like a plan.

Yep.

"This place is pretty," says Anna. "Or. Looks like it would be pretty if I could see more of it."

"I could do fire but I'm not sure if that would help or just destroy our night vision."
