[ action / voice ] backdated to Tuesday because I was too tired to post it then

[ So, Fenimore had spent the last event as

bittyblessing. That had been fine at the time, but, now that the event was over, it had its own issues.

One of them was clothes. Another was pretty much everything else she owned.

Some of her belongings had stayed in the house -- Stella had rescued and retained some outfits, for example -- but, as they lay unclaimed during the event, many eventually disappeared (Shuri and the trash can are particularly suspect in this matter). She had made a brief effort to find particularly important effects, like the locket Shirley had given her -- that disappearance had sent her into a panic until she found it again. But, for the most part, she was too busy sulking to go out into the general social sphere.

Until, well, she woke up one morning to realize that she was down to one clean outfit. One...embarrassing outfit from when she had spent an experiment trying to be a magical girl. (Top and right, respectively, but with added stockings and arm warmers. After all, it was winter at that time.)

Unable to avoid the chore any longer, she can be found in or on her way to either the clothing or item shops, attempting to pretend that there's nothing wrong with this outfit.

She can also be found partway there under a tree, in the same outfit, seemingly attempting to reason with a strange bird sitting on a high branch. It seems that, sometime between her kidnapping and her return after the event, the peepit chick she got for Christmas escaped and has been living the wild life. ] Look, I said I was sorry. Now would you -- ?

[ The bird squawks and turns its back on her. Fenimore huffs as though she suspects the bird to be intelligent enough to understand an apology and reject it, opening her journal, transmitting a request as Voice. ]

Does anyone here speak bird? [Her intended request was for someone who was good at catching birds, but, annoyed, it came out as a more sarcastic one.]

[It's only inevitable that with both of them heading to the plaza at the same time, the two will cross paths. On a bridge, perhaps, because it's rather appropriate and Sokka felt like taking the long route to school. It gives him an excuse to go by Winry's house... and incidentally, the "Freedom Fighters" too. He suspects it probably drives them crazy. Bonus?

So when he spots Fenimore (on bridge or road), he can't help but notice that outfit and isn't able to restrain an amused smirk. He doesn't really see the problem here, given outfits in Luceti, but he does recognize it as being outside her usual style.]

Going for a new look now?

[Bridge sounds good. She turns just a little red, because she does see a problem with it (though, really, if it was on someone else, she wouldn't know the difference for the same reason).]

I wouldn't dress like this if I could help it!

[Oh. That earns something of a surprised blink on his part, before he realized that this is pretty typical for her. He laughs. Not derisively, though, just in amusement.]

Well it's a good look for you anyway. Maybe you should stick with it.

...Really? [She sounds a little suspicious, but she lowers the defensive attitude since it seems that he isn't making fun of her like she had thought.]

I don't know about that. I prefer my old clothes, once I can find where they went last week.

... wait, they threw out all your old clothes?

[... well, it makes sense in a way. They had no ideas who it belonged to, right?]

Well, not quite all of them. Stella managed to save some of it from that guy who took my room. ...But she sold more than she actually saved.

... well that was nice of her. So... [A pause and then he grins.] That's the only outfit of yours she liked?

[The edge of her lips twists upward in almost a half-grin.] Maybe it was the only one that no one would buy. [But her expression returns to something more neutral.] It wasn't the only one she kept, but it was the last one I wanted to wear.

WELL since Suki and Fen are off bonding...

Otherwise we'd be down to ONE THREAD gasp

I can't live in that world

It is rather terrifying.
