[Souji's MIA since Sunday morning. He hadn't thought to warn anyone about where he was going, since it wasn't supposed to take this long.

Now, Souji's lying on his back on his futon, on top of the blanket and fully clothed. The device is on the floor to one side, capturing a very boring feed of Souji not moving.

At all.

Then he gasps, the sound strangled, his chest heaving like he's never breathed before. He opens his eyes and stares at the ceiling for a minute before sitting up, moving as though his whole body aches. One hand goes to his head and he sits there, disoriented for several minutes before getting up and walking out of frame.]

What's so great about the forest?

[Video]

[eatsyourscience]

I wanted to see if it was true that you die if you go to far in.

[Video]

[urnewkingbitch]

I'm guessin' that rumor's true, considerin' you look like you haven't been breathin' in some time.

[Shock! Someone who isn't berating Souji!]

[Video]

[eatsyourscience]

It's true. But it's not the forest that kills you.

[Video]

[urnewkingbitch]

Then what does? Don't tell me there's some kinda fuckin' monster out there that decides to maul us for the fun of it.

[Video]

[eatsyourscience]

Dehydration.

[Which might be less pleasant than a monster.]

[Video]

[urnewkingbitch]

So fast? Doesn't it take three days without water or some bullshit before you kick the bucket like that?

[Video]

[eatsyourscience]

It depends on your level of activity.

...And probably on if you're in Wonderland or a world that makes sense.

[Video]

[urnewkingbitch]

Kinda doubtin' that you were runnin' a marathon through the woods for that. Welp, I'm not at all keen on tryin' to fuckin' sail outta here 'cause I'd hate to see what the water would do.

[Video]

[eatsyourscience]

It felt like a marathon just trying to move sometimes.

[Video]

[urnewkingbitch]

I'd imagine so. So, did the temperature rise or some shit? Or was it like spontaneous dehydration?

[Video]

[eatsyourscience]

It took about 24 hours to happen.

[Video]

[urnewkingbitch]

So, lemme see if I'm followin'. First, after a while of walkin' through the woods, it's gonna start gettin' heavy and pretty much warnin' you to get the fuck out. Further you go, the more it laughs and says, "No, seriously, get the fuck out and sit your ass back down in the mansion." Finally, you pass out 'cause the forest is tired of givin' you fair warnin' by proverbially wackin' you in the back of the head with a crowbar of fuck you. And that's how you died? 'Cause you were passed out and couldn't get out before the buzzer went off for your time bein' up?

You're seriously underestimating how short the window to turn back was.

[Video]

[urnewkingbitch]

How short was it? Are we talking immediately, seconds, minutes? My impression was that it was a gradual thing, but obviously you're implyin' that's not the case.

[Video]

[eatsyourscience]

It took about fifteen minutes. After that I couldn't have left if I'd wanted to.

[Video]

[urnewkingbitch]

Was it because you passed out or was somethin' else preventin' you from leavin'?

[The more he knows, the better he can warn people away from trying it out for themselves.]

[Video]

[eatsyourscience]

You mean other than a whole lot of forest?

[Video]

[urnewkingbitch]

Lost your way?

[Not that Dave would do any better, and he knows it. City kids, amirite?]

[Video]

[eatsyourscience]

It was more like it was purposely stolen from me.

[Video]

[urnewkingbitch]

So we basically have a classic haunted killer forest. Great.

[Video]

[eatsyourscience]

It shouldn't be surprising.

[Video]

[urnewkingbitch]

In all honesty, I think the sad part is that it really fuckin' isn't. Now we know not to do somethin' like that again.

[Video]

[eatsyourscience]

I did it to test the story, anyway. It's not really conclusive evidence, but it's good enough.

[Video]

[urnewkingbitch]

I'd say so. Any other rumors about Wonderland floatin' around that you know of?
