To be edited later. :]
It's generally quite tidy, although this is more due to Bristan's absence most of the time as opposed to Bristan being a tidy person. It does show signs of use, however, test tubes lie on the side and information about different elements and compounds litter the desk.

 "My lab" He announced, waving an arm. Oukami surveyed it behind them, rather wary about what Carroll was about to do, whatever it was.

 Carroll fluttered in ahead of the pair, doing a pleased twirl again. 'Wonderful! Well, I can try to create something like home for you...keep in mind that it cannot last forever, Dust is not in a fixed state, and I will need to replenish.' The PICSI informed Bristan with a smile. Then it began to flit about here and there, touching it's hand to various objects in the room as everything started to glow with the faint shining of Dust. Vines and leaves, branches, all started to materialize from the walls and ceiling, even the small flecks of what looked like gentle sunlight touching down on his lab counters. Those too, then, began to shift, becoming sloping grassy knolls or rocks, and flowers much like Carroll had seen on his journal sprouted up all around. The air grew warm and welcoming, a gentle breeze even picking up, and from the far side of the room light became reflected from a dimly glowing pool of water. Not a lake, but a decently sized pond, deep enough for swimming. Everything had a somewhat compact feel to it, but it also felt very alive, and real.

Bristan gasped with glee and would have kissed the PICSI if he was quite certain it was female. Instead, he was beaming from ear to ear, excitedly screaming: 'THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU' before running through his 'forest', eternally grateful for it. He breathed in the fresh air for what felt like the first time in years, and jumped into the pond, fully clothed.

Carroll smiled, hovering over by Kami. It idly wondered if it was a good idea to introduce so much Dust to one person, but shrugged it off. Every story needed a good fairy! The odd vine or tree continued to form, only adding to the authenticity, though Carroll's attention was now focused on simply keeping it all in place.

Bristan was ecstatic as if all his Christmases had come at once, and was now climbing up a tree to see what was at the top, with a look of childlike wonder. Oukami sensed that he should leave his friend to it."I'll... see you soon, Bristan?" He offered, and, after warranting no response, he turned on his heel to see himself out.

Carroll watched Kami retreat with a slight pout before turning it's attention back to Bristan. Giggling, the creature flitted over to him, helping to show him various little details and adding things where the overjoyed boy saw fit. Time passed almost unnoticed as the pair found new ways to improve the illusion, Carroll having more fun than they had in a while. The fake Pandora only grew more lush and vibrant, any traces of a laboratory long since vanished. Even the door was engulfed in vines and nearly undetectable outside of the faint glimmer of a metal door handle from underneath the foliage.

There had come quite a lot of banging from outside and Carroll had stirred from it's resting place, putting a hand to it's chin and looking around curiously. 'Open the door?' It had asked, 'Well, I'm sure there used to be one somewhere around here...' Flitting from place to place, the PICSI had tried to locate the source of the noise. Just as it grew near, a purple shadow of a girl slipped straight through the vines and foliage. She immediately solidified, appearing to be a blonde human, and gave a confused, terrified shout at the state of the room. 'W-well, calm down!' Carroll was quick to cry, waving it's small arms and hovering in front of the girl. 'Bristan!?' Goosie called, 'W-where is he?!' 'Bristan? Why, he's only sleeping! Please calm down, little girl!' Carroll tried, 'You'll wake him, he's quite tired!' 'W-what the hell is going on?!' Goosie demanded, 'W-what the heck are you!' 'I'm Carroll! I'm a PICSI! Honestly, it's nothing but an illusion, please calm down. I-I'm right in thinking Bristan is your friend? No harm has come to him!' Goosie finally seemed to have settled down slightly, her eyes fixed on the strange creature. '...You're a pixie?' 'Yes, a PICSI.' Carroll agreed, smiling and glowing a little. '...But how did you get here? I mean...I didn't even know those were real.' 'Oh, I was in Pandora collecting some effects of a dear friend of mine when a young man brought me here! I met your--' 'B-but what is Bristan doing in here? W-what're you trying to do?' Goosie interrupted, clearly pre-occupied.  'Well, he's trapped you see, and I thought it seemed like he quite missed his home.' Carroll's wings drooped a bit.
Goosie frowned a little, sidestepping the creature and taking a look around. 'It feels so real...h-how are you even doing this?'
'It's only Dust, that's what it does.' Carroll explained simply, flitting over to hover by the girl 'It's a sort of magic, you might say!'
'H-he's just sleeping?' Goosie felt a wave of relief, 'Can I um, can I see him?'
'Certainly, he's just over there...' Carroll gestured toward a cluster of tree branches covered in low-hanging branches and vines.

Goosie started to approach the trees, jumping when she heard a shout from outside and remembering who she'd left behind. 'O-oh, Phyx!' She said aloud, rushing over to try and yank the door open, the handle barely even visible beneath the greenery 'H-how is anyone supposed to get in like this? Will you please fix it!' The PICSI flitted over, 'Oh, I'm terribly sorry. I suppose it didn't occur to me...is there someone outside? For that matter, how is it that you did that earlier?' 'Not now, just fix the door!' Goosie snapped, her frustration mounting as she gave it another useless tug. Since when did Bristan spend all of his time locked in some...lab gone fairy kingdom?

Carroll was quick to hold up a tiny hand, the vines and other growth that had blocked off the door trickling away into dust and spilling to the ground, where it vanished. 'There, all better!' It said triumphantly, trying to remain cheerful. The girl said nothing in return, causing Carroll's wings to droop again as she yanked the door open for her friend to enter.

 'So is he in h- what the ********?!' Asphyxia spluttered, as she entered, and immediately saw the strange appearance of the lab.

'I-I really don't get it, b-but apparently this is some kind of...illusion?' Goosie tried, then said, 'I-I'm going to find Bristan!' She hurried off, having to clamber over the grassy sloping ground toward the trees where her sleeping boyfriend was meant to be kept. Carroll flitted up to Asphyxia and greeted her with a cheerful 'Hello, princess!'

'Um. Hey...?' a rather bewildered Asphyxia replied, looking peculiarly at Carroll.

'My name is Carroll, what is yours?' It asked, hanging in the air near face-level with Phyx. It tilted it's head, having noticed her bruises with a slight frown but saying nothing. In the background Goosie could be seen struggling to climb up the trees. She gave a frustrated huff, hopping up and down as she tried to reach one of the branches.
