49th Draw [Voice/Action/Open to newbies and nags alike!]

[selphie_t]

[Backdated to earlier in the day!

It's the first since Selphie had been returned to the village that she dares to venture outside of the house. Of course, she's going out pretty well bundled up but she's in her better safe than sorry mode. Frankly though, if she stays in the house for one minute longer, she may have to start scaling the walls or jumping from the roof of the house again. Housemates of course, might be more than a bit alarmed if Selphie starts jumping off said roof so she decides not to do so. It was fun mind you but yeah... housemates freaking out and possibly landing on Frey again didn't sound like a good idea.

At first, she sits on the porch of the house and just breathes in the fresh air. It's mildly surprising at first but Selphie gets used to the cold air after a few moments. She contemplates going back inside for a few moments before tugging her scarf up higher to cover her nose and cheeks. Really, she looks like a bundled up mass of yellow and pink.

She's just so thrilled to be outside after spending most of the week inside. She takes it slowly at first with her journal in tow and she'll just wander through the village like she did when she first arrived. She missed so many of the New Feathers this time around so she'll wonder if she'll run into any of them this time around. Has she met you? She'd love to meet you and it's not like she's hard to miss. She'll stop by her usual haunts once she arrives in the plaza though.

First stop, she wants a new book or two to read so she'll go check out what's available before wandering about in a lazy pattern. She stops eventually to get something warm to drink before she starts to head back toward the house once again. Maybe she should stop at the clinic and get a check-up just in case the Malnosso have done something to her that she doesn't know about? She doesn't know what they did to her this time but after sleeping off drugs for almost three days, she'd be happier with it out-of-sight, out-of-mind.

She sits down on the fountain's ledge today and decides to put out a general query to the populace of Luceti. One might notice that her voice is a bit muffled though. Blame the scarf, it's cold out!]

Have you got airships where you come from? If so, tell me something about them! Anything at all will do.

[The voice that answers sounds high, light and pleasant, recognizable as the slightly breathy tones of Ami.]

There are airplanes. Spaceships, too; but space travel isn't very developed yet.

[ooc: considered actioning either at the clinic (Ami could give the checkup?) or books (was it bookstore or library?) If either of those sound good, we can say it starts as voice and they meet up in a bit.]

Planes aren't used very much back home but trains are more popular anyway. We have spaceships as well but there was a bit of a problem with them that lead to a major problem so it got scrapped for a little bit.

[ooc: :) Either or! Selphie would have to be talked into or ordered to go to the clinic though. I was thinking the library but considering that everything in Luceti is free... the bookstore could work as well!]

Re: [voice - for now!]

[no-use-running.livejournal.com]

I see. But, I think it's sort of exciting. We'll see a lot of progress in the next decades.

(ooc: we'll go with bookstore soon, then? XD this'll be amusing.)

[Frey was out in the shops picking up some fresh ingredients for dinner. He's really taken to this cooking thing.

But when he spots..... that yellow and pink thing, he'll pause-

And then frown as he realizes he knows who that is, walking over.] Selphie?

[boomchucka.livejournal.com]

[She's busted isn't she? But at least she's bundled up. At any rate, Selphie waves at Frey and even though he won't be able to see the smile on her face, it's doing a good job of lighting up her eyes.]

Hey Frey!

[doubleppk]

We have airplanes, and helicopters, and autogyros, and all kinds of things that fly!

[boomchucka.livejournal.com]

Autogyros?

[Voice]

[eidolon-soul.livejournal.com]

[Might answer the question, but first--]

How are you feeling, Selphie?

[Voice]

[boomchucka.livejournal.com]

Better!

[voice]

[pimpinwings.livejournal.com]

We've got Rheiards, but they only carry a couple people maximum.

Re: [voice]

[boomchucka.livejournal.com]

So are you gonna make me guess or are you gonna tell me what they are?

[voice]

[ Airships. Just add one more thing to Lightning's list of things she never even thought about being potentially unfamiliar to others. ]

When it comes to airships, I think the only thing they all have in common is the ability to fly.

[voice]

[boomchucka.livejournal.com]

[Happy to have been of assistane!]

You never know, you might find more in common than you think.

[generalflirt]

Eeeh~ Well people made it to the moon a while back. [Said the voice of the boy advancing at her position at the fountain. He's just here in the midst of, you know, when he's not with Mikado. So basically, probably later in the day after Frey because it's one or the other, you know.

But he's got an even smile on. Sorta]

[action]

[boomchucka.livejournal.com]

[Selphie smiles cheerfully. It's good to see Kida in better spirits than when she'd last seen him.]

Tell me more. I'm all ears.

voice (but kinda action too)

[lunarianlegacy.livejournal.com]

Well yeah. I was in the airship corps, the Red Wings.

[Was. As in, he's the only one left. He's checking her room to say hi and bring her a stuffed bear he'd found in the shop.]

Uh, Selphie? Where are you?

voice (but kinda action too)

[boomchucka.livejournal.com]

Outside~

[Voice]

[oncebright.livejournal.com]

The Abhorsen has a Paperwing. It is flown by whistling for the wind. Quite unnecessary, if you ask me, but there you go. [There was that highly memorable time when Sabriel almost crashed it and he was so very close to killing her. . . Ah, memories.]

And I do believe the people of Ancelstierre have developed some sort of flying machine.

[Voice]

[boomchucka.livejournal.com]

A paperwing doesn't sound very sturdy. [This would be a clear indication of Selphie taking the concept of a paperwing a little too literally.]

[floralprophecy.livejournal.com]

Yes, we do have airships and they're partly alive.

[boomchucka.livejournal.com]

Partly alive? How can it be an airship and be partly alive?

[redroseprince.livejournal.com]

[...D:]

...Yes, we do.

...They're very dark. It's easy to get lost in them.

[...That's pretty much the most non-traumatizing thing she can think of, what with her experience on airships.]

[boomchucka.livejournal.com]

[To which event doesn't sound overly pleasant to Selphie.]

What about a flashlight?

[voice]

[gamblinghigh.livejournal.com]

[He laughs at the question.]

Of course we do.
