five ♥ not designed with the vertically challenged in mind [written/voice]

[selphie_t]

[Hopefully those who know Selphie will understand her sudden silence over the journals in the past few weeks. She's not quite sure how it happened but she started feeling like she was living in a freezer no matter how many layers of clothing she wore. This just so happened to happen a few days before they were all whisked away to Malnosso World when her immune system had had enough abuse and left her with a wonderful case of the Flu. She'd spent most of her time at Malnosso World in bed with the family pet to keep her company. Having only enough energy to focus on sleeping and forcing herself to eat and drink was enough for the perky brunette during that time.

She'd finally gotten most of her energy back by the middle of last week but wasn't really feeling up to leaving the apartment. Besides, everything seemed to have changed around in the apartment and she was still in the process of rearranging everything to her liking. Maybe her rearranging has gone further into the living area of the apartment? The way that everything was arranged just gave her the feeling that they'd never lived there in the first place. A little artistic flair took care of that as she stands in the kitchen glaring at the top shelf of the cupboard where all the tea is being kept.]

Can we please put things on the lower shelves in the cupboard? It's either that or somebody's gonna start playing human footstool. Not all of us were born to be giants y'know!

[A little later on, Selphie takes to writing something down in the journal before switching over to voice.]

Welcome to Luceti Newbies!

Don't mind me there, it just felt right to say that to everybody who's been showing up this month! Hopefully everybody's found a place to stay by now and won't be caught out in the cold.

It looks like it could start snowing any day now though! No more mud, just loooooooots of snowmen to make!

And hey, anybody have any ideas on how to make these new apartments feel like a home again? I've spent the better part of this weekend just moving things around and discovering that being short seriously, super mega seriously sucks. A footstool or something would've been nice.

[She huffs before continuing.]

It's not all bad though.

Alrighty Luceti, tell me what's new and exciting!

[The woes of being vertically challenged. Rudy definitely feels your pain, Selphie. He sighs, answering:]

You tell me. Who'd have thought they'd change everything around...

[voice]

[selphie_t]

Yeah, it's gonna take some getting used to.

I think I'm gonna have to spend some mission points on a footstool or something.

[voice]

[ofwesternwinds]

Couldn't you find one in the one of the stores 'round here?

[Seems like an unnecessary spending of mission points to Rudy. But he won't say that out loud, of course.]

Then again, could just find something to stand on too. Works just as good, 'f you ask me.

[voice]

[selphie_t]

Yeah... tried the chair. Lost my footing and fell on my ass.

[Well that was a loud announcement. Only one way to answer it then]

I'm here for one, in the exciting department. So that always adds a bit of spice to things. Snowmen are great, especially if you add your own design to them. Challenge accepted for making the best snowman in the village.

[That should please her. Speaking loudly was generally a good time.]

Video - the Welcome to Luceti line was written though >.>

[selphie_t]

[Well then, Selphie will respond just as cheerfully but not as loud because people have been known to complain about her being too loud. She regards the new feather curiously.]

Exciting huh? Well, you might wanna tone it down a couple decibels before somebody starts giving you flak for being too loud. Oh? Is that a dare?

Video He's always had a thing with letters. @_@

[the_dead_pool2]

[Deadpool will take the quiet down as a win, thank you very much]

Heh, yeah like that'll stop me from talking.

[Knives to the head didn't stop him from talking, getting flak was just a matter of course]

A dare would be to go streaking through the streets naked. A challenge is a test of skill.

Video - pffffffft what a dummy ^^;;

[selphie_t]

Nah, there just so happens to be select individuals [Like one of her roomies.] that happen to like it when people are quiet. They grumble about it but they're teddy bears once you figure out how to butter 'em up.

[Congratulations! Selphie is blushing at the comment.]

Eh... you can do that! Me? Ehehehehe... I think I'll pass.

[vulgaris]

[She didn't think being a newbie was a good thing. But whatever, she might as well indulge this.]

If you wanted this to be like my home, then things would be shaping up way differently. [She's dropping the cutesy girl act for now, since...well, people would have figured out what she really is sooner or later.]

Well, what the hell did you like to decorate your home with? ...and how short are you? I can feel your pain on that; being short sucks ass.

[selphie_t]

Well, sometimes you need to make the best of a bad situation and roll with the punches. There's not a lot you can do about being here once you're here.

As for what I've decorated the apartment with, just items that give the place a pop of colour and make it feel warmer. Lots of greens and blues and yellows because they're good colours for this time of year.

[How short? SHORT.]

Five-foot-two-and-a-half inches. What about you? I have some points from a mission I went on shortly after I first got here so I was thinking of using those to get a footstool or a small stepstool of some kind..

[vulgaris]

Yeah, you're right about that. I've come to accept my fate, but I figured the wings aren't too bad. Except their color is... [She hates them, like who even gave her pink wings...]

But hey, at least you're making it fit you. I'm not doing so hot myself; I mean, I'd need at least...hell, a shitload of plants to make this place feel like home.

[Well well. She's actually grinning herself.]

Try five feet exactly. It's not too impressive, but I'm not going to denounce being short, hell no!

[selphie_t]

Once you get used to the wings, they're pretty easy to hide under your clothes. They can't be that bad, can they?

If you're still here in the spring, ask around for some seeds. I bet there's lots of people who'd be willing to share.

[Then Selphie's job is done!]

Nothing wrong with being short. I'll have to use a chair for now but there's going to be a footstool found and coming home with me.

[ Voice ]

[generalflirt]

Well, speaking of the new buildings, mine looks no different but got renamed. Flame building, much to Linda's dismay but Shikamaru's joy.

[And there's a hacking cough of sorts of three rooms over as he says this, as if the prove the point]

[ Voice ]

[selphie_t]

Flame building? Looks like we live in the same building Masaomi.

[She hears that hacking cough and wanders toward the door with her journal in tow. She sticks her head out the door and listens for the direction the coughs are coming from.]

Is that you coughing?

[ Voice ]

[generalflirt]

[ Doors down from his spot! But if she's on the fourth floor or can hear up or down to it that's where it is]

No, that's my roommate. But are we? Cool.

[ Voice ]

[selphie_t]

[Huh. Must have been the wind then.]

Yep! Waaaaaaaay up here on the sixth floor. I still have those clothes you lent me when I first got here by the way. Would you like them back?

voice;

[ex_tessen852]

Can you use your weapon to get things down? I mean, if they aren't breakable.

voice;

[selphie_t]

Well, I guess I could but I'd probably end up making a huge mess and I'd rather not do that.

[She frowns a bit as the journal snaps the photo.]

I'll have to use a chair for now.

voice;

[ex_tessen852]

I would offer to help, but we're about the same height, aren't we?

voice;

[selphie_t]

Are we?

[Selphie may have been distracted by the awesome that is Suki to notice the similar heights.]

I hadn't really noticed. It's okay! I'll just improvise or pout at the appropriate parties until things get moved within reach.

[In fact, Selphie's been climbing up on the back of a chair when she loses her footing and the contents come spilling out with a surprised yelp.]

Or... I'll just klutz out instead.

voice;

[nosenobounds]

Painting's a pretty good way to make places feel like home! You can do whatever you want with them, and you can put them wherever you want to put them.

voice;

[selphie_t]

You've got a point there but I'd need to get something a little more neutral than sunshine yellow.

And maybe it'd be better to wait until it gets warmer to paint?

[She lives with a grumpy Marine Usopp might be familiar with.]

My room however? Fair game!

[Voice]

[i_speak_softly]

[While taking a break from - as it happens - a home renovation project related to the impending snow, Donatello discovers this message on the journals.]

Selphie...? You're here again?

[Voice]

[selphie_t]

[Silly turtle!]

Have been since July! Didja just notice?

[Voice]

[i_speak_softly]

Sorry, I've been busy.

Do you -- remember me?
