ONE. may have interesting subject lines eventually

[Accidental Action]

[Anyone around the outskirts of Luceti's village today might notice a girl wandering around, avoiding high traffic areas. There are three reasons that they might notice her.

1. Her expression is guarded, but she can't keep out some hints of being very afraid.

2. Half the time she is walking shoulders hunched inward, with nervous steps while she keeps looking out for people seeing her--that is, a walk that is trying so hard to be unnoticed that everyone notices. The other half of the time, she's trying to sneak between trees and behind buildings with such stealth as to be even more obvious than the walk--Solid Snake, she is not.

3. ...She looks a little ridiculous. The outer layer is a dress something like this, only hiked up to not trip her up as she's about five inches shorter than the intended wearer. But she's also wearing a coat over it and a second dress underneath due to the cold, and it's fairly obvious she is since the collars are designed differently. Speaking of that, it's hanging rather loosely on her there, since it was made for someone who is anime!racked. She's kept decent by the fact that she's still wearing the New Feather dress underneath those, which covers up the rest of her to her neck. Also, unlike in the icon, her hair is tucked up inside of an unusual hat. She's probably even in bad footwear for the weather, but it's impossible to tell since the dresses are trailing in the snow. EDIT: ...Also, she probably has hidden her wings under some scarf.

She's trying to not attract attention, but this is not obvious.

...Oh yeah, forgot. She has her journal with her, but she hasn't opened it and she's holding it so that her name is hidden by her body.]


[ooc: Also, because I imagine that any of them would be inclined to get her out of this somewhat odd get-up and she's not likely to trust anyone else, any Ferines threads probably take place after any others.

...This entry is getting the crap editted out of it tonight, but THANK YOU SO MUCH PERSON WHO GAVE ME PAID TIME. I was going to buy some when I had gotten more icons, but I am very grateful to get it as a gift. ♥♥ ...Even if I'm using about two icons so far this post.]

[Shirley smiles sheepishly.]

I guess not... [... awkward silence. She glances over at the teapot.] Um... would you like some tea?

Neither did I, before Madam Musette introduced me to it... [She smiles fondly.] Now I can't wake up in the morning without it...

[... her smile might be fond, but the way she says it is a little sad. Shirley misses her housemate.]

Well, it's very good... and there are many different kinds of tea. It's always fun, trying new kinds. [The kind of tea she is pouring right now is ... some sweet tea with relaxing effects that I'm too lazy to go look up. And let it be known that this is a traditional tea, with leaves, yo. ... although they're in the pot, and are being strained out as Shirley pours them both a cup, so Fenimore probably won't be able to see them. Oh well.]
prayingone: (all that's left is love)

[Shirley just smiles, and takes a sip of her tea. She will cheerfully sit through Fenimore's teasing because... it's Fenimore. You really don't know how much she's missed you, Fen-Fen.]
prayingone: (was it something i said)

I'm sorry... I should have warned you... [And she really does look sorry.] Um... it helps if you blow on it, likes this.

[Before taking another ship, Shirley blows a little on the tea in her cup.]

The idea is the same, yes. You stew prepared leaves in hot water to bring out their flavor.

I'm... not sure, actually. But, no, you can't make tea from ordinary leaves. [You say that now, but soon... Shirley will have drug you over to the Tea Side. /dun dun dun]

[Shirley stares down into her teacup.] It's... been a while since I was brought here.

[Shirley looks down at her cup of tea.]

The first day I came here... Walter helped me find the village, and this house. That -- ... that was when Madam Musette was still here.
prayingone: (what went wrong)

Madam Musette is... [Shirley hesitates, not sure how much or how little she should say about Musette. She doesn't want to say too much; Musette always valued her privacy, even back home.] A... citizen of Werites Beacon. She was helping me write a proposal that would make a path for the Ferines to safely come to the Legacy.
