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

[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.

[Ami gives a small laugh as she settles her papers and books to make room for them both to sit down.]

Please, go ahead and sit.

[She hesitates to follow her own advice.]

Would you like tea while we talk?

[As soon as they planned to meet, Ami made sure to have enough for both of them, and a second cup. Even though it meant going out briefly. She produces the fruits of her labors, a new hot cup of aromatic tea, with a somewhat proud smile.]

[action] - I'm about to have peppermint tea myself~

[Curling her hands around the mug, Selphie blows on the liquid before taking a careful sip.]

It's good!

Re: [action] - Share? <3

[identity profile] no-use-running.livejournal.com 2011-01-24 02:43 am (UTC)(link)
I'm glad you like it. [The smile says even more than the words; these little things mean a lot to her.]

If you want, you could come over to the house sometime to have tea properly.

[action] - *shares fruit tea instead* wild berry zinger?

[identity profile] boomchucka.livejournal.com 2011-01-24 03:25 am (UTC)(link)
It's great. What flavour is it?

I'd love to! [She'll even bring goodies from the bakery.]

Re: [action] - works for me! *sips* *enjoys*

[identity profile] no-use-running.livejournal.com 2011-01-24 03:31 am (UTC)(link)
Mm. It's a sort of chamomile blend. There are several different kinds in it.

[This isn't discussing airships, but she doesn't want to be rude by changing the subject to that so quickly anyway.]

I didn't know many people liked tea here.

[action] - :D

It's better than coffee and it tastes better too.

Re: [action]

[identity profile] no-use-running.livejournal.com 2011-01-24 03:47 am (UTC)(link)
Mm. But coffee is good for long shifts at the hospital, when I have to stay awake.

Do you work at the clinic then?

Re: [action]

[identity profile] no-use-running.livejournal.com 2011-01-24 03:57 am (UTC)(link)
Yes. I spoke with one of the doctors awhile back who was organizing the schedules and shifts. If I'm going to be living here, I should contribute something, too.

[Selphie isn't overly fond of doctor's so it's nice to know that one is approachable.]

I've been volunteering my time at the Welcome Centre and doing patrols as a member of the Blue Rogues myself.

It sounds as though you're very busy.

I think it's better to keep busy than be bored all the time.

Re: [action]

[identity profile] no-use-running.livejournal.com 2011-01-25 03:06 am (UTC)(link)
I was always very busy back home, so, a part of me thinks it's be nice to take it easy awhile, sometime.

[identity profile] boomchucka.livejournal.com 2011-01-25 03:13 am (UTC)(link)
That's true. All work and no play after all.

[And by now polite chatter has been fulfilled.]

Back in your home, you mentioned the airships. I wondered if you could tell me more about them. I sort of became interested when you mentioned it.

[identity profile] boomchucka.livejournal.com 2011-01-25 03:28 am (UTC)(link)
Oh! Sure thing. [Selphie explains some of the basics of airships from her world and how there's only one that's currently on loan to them and fangirls about her baby for a few minutes before finishing off with the fact that it's shaped like a dragon!]

Anything else you wanted to know?

Re: [action] - absolutely works just fine <3

[identity profile] no-use-running.livejournal.com 2011-01-25 03:30 am (UTC)(link)
A dragon. It must be wonderful to see, but it doesn't seem as though it would be very aerodynamic. The mechanics must generate enough lift despite that.

It's pretty slick and flies pretty good for a draconian tin can!

Re: [action]

[identity profile] no-use-running.livejournal.com 2011-01-25 03:34 am (UTC)(link)
I'd love to see it some day. [Her expression manages to look somewhat dreamy as she glances upward.] I wonder if there'll be a way to travel between all our worlds some day.

[identity profile] boomchucka.livejournal.com 2011-01-25 05:16 am (UTC)(link)
I can show you a miniature of it if you'd like. You'll have to come over to my house sometime though. Imagine the adventures you could have if you could travel to other worlds.

Re: [action]

[identity profile] no-use-running.livejournal.com 2011-01-25 05:19 am (UTC)(link)
[Her adventures in other dimensions before Luceti had... not been good. But she smiles now, though she demurs politely.]

Is it really alright? I don't want to trouble you.

[action]

[identity profile] boomchucka.livejournal.com 2011-01-25 05:26 am (UTC)(link)
It's no trouble at all! [And then Selphie's attention wanders over to the stack of books on the table.]

Looks like you've got quite the selection here.

Re: [action]

[identity profile] no-use-running.livejournal.com 2011-01-25 05:29 am (UTC)(link)
I have a lot of different interests. [She says this with a quiet smile, as though it has a good meaning to her. She's come a long way from 'studying is my only redeeming feature'; there are many things she likes and is interested in and involved in.]

You were looking for books, too, weren't you? Is there something special you wanted?
