Sender: Ferdinand the Bull (The Story of Ferdinand) | Wembley Fraggle

Recipient: Everyone

Hello? Um, yeah, hello. Oh boy, am I nervous! Let's see, well, my name's Wembley- Oh, it says that up there already. But I didn't write that...

[No, he did not read the page that explains the journal - not in full, anyway. He'd started, but Fraggles are - in general - an easily-distracted bunch.]

I came here to help the Storyteller, like they asked, but I think the storyteller should have picked somebody else. I'm gonna try being brave, though! My best buddy, Gobo, he's always doing brave things to help people. This is the sort of thing he'd do, and, well, all the things Gobo does aren't always the right thing for me, but I think this one is! And I really like helping people, too, so it's gonna work, right? I hope so. And I hope Gobo would be proud of me for trying.

[He's just going to be very grateful that Gobo made that decision for him. He smiles, rocking back a bit and forth a bit on his heels as he takes the place in.]

That must come in handy! [He snickers and nudges Gobo a bit with his elbow.] I think you did a nice job with it, Gobo!

[gobetween]

Thanks!

[He clicked his tongue, looking around at the place. Then he tilted his head to look over at his best friend beside him.]

You know, there's plenty of space in here. If you, y'know, wanted to stay here until you adjusted to everything. And your own house is right above, it's not like you'll be going FAR...

[forachange]

[Wembley grins up at him, face and voice both lit up with excitement.]

Yeah? Well, I'd really like that!

[And one more hug for good measure.]

[gobetween]

[Alright, that hug got him a little bonk on the end of the snout with one of Wembley's horns. He laughed some, rubbing the spot even as he hugged him back.]

Great! I'd like that a lot, too. [He snickered some.] You know I'm not stranger to sleeping in a room by myself but, it'll be nice having you around again, too.

[forachange]

[Wembley giggles and nods against Gobo's shoulder. So, possibly more getting hit with the horn for Gobo!]

I can't believe you've been the only Fraggle here for so long... It's a good thing you made friends with some of the Silly Creatures here, though!

[gobetween]

[Nearly so- he had to duck back so he didn't get a black eye.]

Yeah, I'm glad too. [Let's step out of this hug before he loses an eye. That wouldn't be a good look.] It's definitely made it a little easier, but I'm still really glad for another Fraggle. Especially that it's you.

[forachange]

Yeah? 'Cause I know I wemble a lot, and I'm not very brave or smart, and I... Well, heh, I wasn't very strong. [A brief sigh, but then he smiles.] But I'm going to do my best! I want to help all those poor lost stories.

[gobetween]

And you'll do great at it! [He clapped him on the back, giving him a bright, honest grin.] You'll see. You're a lot braver and smarter than you think y'are, or you wouldn't be here! I've got faith in you.

[forachange]

[He blushes a bit at the compliment, and glances down at his feet.]

Thanks, I-I do feel less scared than I thought I'd be... [He shrugs one shoulder a bit, eyes still on the floor.] That's something, right?

[gobetween]

[He smiled and took the thick part of one horn, shaking Wembley's head affectionately, but gently. Didn't want to yank it off after all.]

That's absolutely something! You'll be just fine.

[forachange]

[He laughs at the shake, and finally glances back up.]

Yeah! Yeah, I'll be just fine! [Another, quicker little laugh.] Hey, I think I still should see what my house is like, even if I'm going to stay here for now.

["For now." Or longer.]

You wanna come?

[gobetween]

Sure! I admit I'm pretty curious to see what the inside looks like.

[He waved Wembley on to the door ahead of him.]

[forachange]

[He bounds out the door then slows to a stop as retracing his steps out Gobo's door reveals little wild flowers... Huh. He doesn't really remember those being there, but surely they must have been?]

Gee, Gobo, I like the garden.

[gobetween]

Hmm? [He peeked out over Wembley, not a difficult thing to do really, and shook his head.]

I don't have a garden. Those must've only shown up in the past few minutes.

[forachange]

Uh, Gobo, I don't think flowers grow that fast.

[He scratches at his hair, but ultimately shrugs it off and starts his way up the hill... Wait, are those more flowers?]

[gobetween]

[It was certainly a puzzle... until he noticed Wembley's wake, and he snickered some.]

Unless they're popping up like magic. Wembley, look behind you.

[forachange]

Oh, wow! Look at that, Gobo!

[He giggles a bit, and as he stomps one foot against the ground, more flowers grow in rings around the spot.]

This is really great!

[gobetween]

[He laughed brightly as he walked up to join him, being careful not to destroy any of the flowers on his way.]

Your Essence at work again! Man, you got some pretty cool stuff.]

[forachange]

Yeah, I think so, too, thanks!

[He's just going to pick and take a sniff of that violet, please and thank you. After that, he tucks it into his own hair and continues on, leading the way to his house. Inside, a particular piece of furniture catches his attention, and he approaches.]

I don't get it, [said with a laugh] but I guess that's why it's Silly Creature furniture, huh?

[gobetween]

[He trailed in behind Wembley, coming up to the same... whatever-it-was and studying it for a moment. Then he shook his head and laughed.]

Yeah, I guess so. It's definitely pretty silly, I'll give it that.

[forachange]

[Another shrug, and he took the flower out of his hair, twirling it between his fingers for a moment before putting leaving it on one of the cushions.]

Well, I'll just use it for that!

[gobetween]

[He scratched his cheek, snickering some.]

Maybe you could put some flowers in a couple big pots on either side, eh? Like the planter we have at home.

[forachange]

[He gave a little laugh and nodded, then leaned against Gobo a bit.]

Yeah, that's a great idea. Thanks, Gobo.
