First Fall -- Action
Jul. 9th, 2012 10:42 pm[Waking up is to be expected. Waking up on hard cobblestones in the plaza of a small town instead of in a tree or some other nice, natural place is a little more surprising. Especially cobblestones in a place she doesn't recognize, in a dress she doesn't recognize, sore and stiff all over.
Well... it has been 100 years. A lot can change. But none of this, not even the geography, looks familiar. There are mountains! And it's the middle of a town, not a suburb of a big city... And she can't sense Shuichiro. They're connected, so if he's alive she should be able to tell, somehow. Like a light burning in the center of her heart.
So, that could mean trouble. She has to find out what she can, as soon as she can. And what better way than to ask the residents? And by residents, she means plants. She shouldn't be visible to normal humans right now, anyway. But she is -- chalk it up to Luceti weirdness. She is completely detectable as she chats idly with all the plants she can find, from the weeds between the pavers to the flowers in the gardens. And none of them know a Shuichiro, or Japan at all. But she'll keep trying!]
((OOC: This is during the day. Feel free to interrupt at any time. It's ok to think she's crazy! And if you have any ESP at all, she isn't hiding anything, so it's obvious she is an angel, or at least strongly light and pure.))

[Action] Let me know if the tagging style is confusing.
Date: 2012-07-10 10:15 am (UTC)Well, she was dressed like a newbie, so it was time to break out the welcome wagon.
"Uh, ma'am, are you alright?"
[Action] It's perfectly fine!
Date: 2012-07-10 02:48 pm (UTC)[That made her jump. She gives a quick look around, to make sure that there is no one else who could be the one addressed (there isn't) before facing the speaker.]
Are you talking to me? [Wait not the most important issue here.] You can see me?
[Action] Woohoo!
Date: 2012-07-10 06:22 pm (UTC)I tried very hard to keep the blank stare off my face.
[Action]
Date: 2012-07-10 06:44 pm (UTC)I'm not supposed to be visible, though. [He's not a normal human, so it's ok to discuss these things. And it's not as if she ever had anything to hide.]
[Action]
Date: 2012-07-10 07:03 pm (UTC)I sighed.
"So you never answered my question. Are you okay?"
Re: [Action]
Date: 2012-07-10 07:36 pm (UTC)I suppose I am. Could be worse. [She's not in a tree being attacked by demonic crows, for one.]

Date: 2012-07-11 06:24 pm (UTC)I paused. Okay, I was probably moving way too fast
"Alright. There's really three things going on here that all kind of tie in together."
I held up a hand and started ticking points off on my fingers
"The first is this world, which randomly alters reality around us.
The second is the Malnosso, who built a big bubble that goes several miles around the village. They want to figure out the weird reality shifts in this world, so they artificially induce them on us.
The third is a bunch of nutcases called the Third Party, who want to kill everybody, including the Malnosso- so the Malnosso make us fight them."
I lowered the hand, then looked at the girl again.
"With me so far?"

Date: 2012-07-14 08:04 pm (UTC)Wait... when you said "this world" earlier, what did you mean?
[Action]
Date: 2012-07-17 07:58 am (UTC)That's just my theory. All we know is, everything works screwy here."
[Action]
Date: 2012-07-18 09:57 pm (UTC)So you're saying things don't always work right? What about... wings...? [It feels awkward asking this of a new acquaintance. Also, she didn't think to clarify about Luceti wings v. her wings, mostly because she's unaware of her new appendages. Derp.]
[Action]
Date: 2012-07-20 09:49 pm (UTC)Whatever their story is, handle 'em with care. They're sensitive as hell, and they can affect your entire system if you mess with them. Injure one, you'll feel a little sick. Cut one off, you'll be too weak to move until it grows back. Cut them both off? You die."
[Action]
Date: 2012-07-22 12:16 am (UTC)I have little wings! What's going on?! [And they're not transparent. Weird.] Did something happen?
[Action]
Date: 2012-07-24 12:41 pm (UTC)"Okay. Look, they were put there when you first arrived. Don't hurt 'em, they're sensitive and could even kill you."
Re: [Action]
Date: 2012-07-25 09:16 pm (UTC)Even as Dresden speaks, a pair of large, translucent white wings spread from her back. She gives them a quick inspection, but nothing seems to be different. Finally, as she finishes, she realizes she missed something.]
I'm sorry, what was that?
[Action]
Date: 2012-07-29 09:18 am (UTC)Okay, easy, Harry. New girl. Still in shock. Doesn't know any better.
"... Your wings. Don't hurt them. Your health is tied to them. Hurt them, you get sick. Remove them, you die."
