Selphie Tilmitt

[It seems that there's an idiot breaking and entering in Luceti lately.

And it's a New Feather to boot? And somebody who reminds her of Seifer? Oooooh, not so smart. Naturally, this leads Selphie to grabbing her journal and making a sweet little announcement over the journal. She clicks on the video feed and death glares at nothing in general.]

So Luceti, are there any more morons enterting the Village who'd like to break into the house? I've got a fist with you name on it if you try.

Thanks and have a good day!

[Being bad? Definitely. Smiling sweetly for all that it's worth. You have no idea.]

[Selphie's starting to get restless. Of course, she knows that Malaria is deadly unless properly taken care of so she's been obedient. She falls asleep more often than staying awake still but her fever has broken. Some of the colour from the blood loss via the shift hunter bites has returned to her skin but she's still pale from being sick. She's been letting the staff draw up more blood from her than she's liked but they've commented about her being such a good sport about it.

Of course... when the next aide comes in intent on drawing another vial of blood for testing, she frowns and has to bite back a comment about telling them where to shove that butterfly needle. They've drawn blood every day that she's been there and there's only so much of that that she can stand. She moves to pull her arms out of reach to earn a stern chiding about being stubborn and eventually is talked into letting them draw more blood.

She'll reach for the book that Rydia brought her intent on reading for a bit but sleep soon claimed her for another few hours early in the morning until late in the afternoon. The staff hadn't bothered to wake her for lunch but there was a plate covered in plastic wrap that had a peeled apple on it. There was a note under the plate that said, eat this when you wake up but she wasn't particularly hungry at the moment. Her appetite may have returned but it still wasn't particularly big. Instead, she reaches for the glass of water that was beside the apple and sips at that instead. She'd the apple eventually but for now, the water was much nicer to have than to eat something when she didn't want to.

Thankfully, they've decided to let her prop one end of the bed up so she doesn't have to force herself to sit up any longer than she has to. She'll reach for the journal eventually despite being told not to use it often but she's lonely and wants someone to talk to. She isn't aware of the experiment going on either as she's been unaffected by it but for now... she wants to have some noise in her otherwise, eerily quiet room.]

Sooooo... what's going on outside of the clinic walls these days? I'd come and look for myself but well... I'm still not allowed out of bed. I just... really wanna go back to the house and sleep in my own bed. Am I even allowed to sit outside if I'm supervised? Just a little bit of time out in the sun?

Or if anybody's got any interesting little stories to tell, I could go for hearing one of those too.

[She sighs a little bit. It's hard to keep on being cheerful when she's not allowed to do anything.]

Frey, you around anywhere?

[The dream starts out plain enough. Selphie’s wandering through a large field of wildflowers. The sun is shining and there’s a gentle breeze blowing the sweet smell of flowers and petals toward her. Something about this field of flowers is familiar, yet unfamiliar at the same time thanks to the Malnosso’s tampering. Small plumes of dandelion puffs take flight as she brushes past a bouquet of weeds. Regardless, she takes a few steps forward before the dream changes.

Now she’s standing in a hallway with students in school uniforms milling around her. These uniforms, like the field before her bring out a sense of familiarity as the perky brunette opts for shrugging this off. There’s no way that this is real, she’s thinking. She’s lived in Luceti her entire life, raised by loving parents. Looking down, Selphie’s wearing the same uniform as the rest of the students before she sees the faces of friends that she can’t quite put a name to the face of. She spots Irvine in the hall and stares at him in confusion when he tilts his hat to her. Zell comes next with an enthusiastic wave followed by Quistis, Squall and Rinoa.

Who are these people; she’s wondering as she steps forward again and the scene changes.

Now Selphie is being engulfed in flames as she immediately wakes up. Sitting bolt-upright in bed with a startled cry, she wraps her arms around herself protectively. What was that, she’s wondering before she slips out of bed and gets dressed. The rush of adrenaline the last fragment of her dream gave her means she won’t be getting back to sleep anytime soon. Grabbing her nunchaku, the perky brunette has slipped into her training clothes and heads for the Battle Dome to work through it in quiet. She doesn’t want to worry her family as she slips into her training boots and leaves her home quietly.

Or she’d try to anyway. In the process, she knocks open the journal as she starts talking to herself in a soft tone.]

What a weird dream...

[After first learning that she'd been put in charge of the next New Feather Party, Selphie had naturally cheered inside. She'd wanted to run around immediately and start gathering supplies, start planning for activities and well... common sense prevailed and any wild ideas were shoved in the trash for simpler ideas instead.

She's been thinking about how to get people to help out with this event. Planning these events took quite a bit of time and with just Selphie, Rise and Rydia doing all the work, it took quite awhile to get things ready. If they got more people involved, they could decorate, find the perfect location and so much more.

Which is what brings Selphie to use her journal today.]

Hey Luceti! Who's up for a New Feather Party? I'd like to have it this weekend so there's not a whole lot of time but hey, we can pull it off if we all work together! Anybody willing to lend a hand? New Feathers and established residents are more than welcome to come lend a hand! But I will say this: No grumping allowed!

If you're a grump, you know who you are! [This goes double for Kain by the way.]

Also, welcome to all our New Feathers in Luceti! My name's Selphie in case we haven't already met and I'm one of the volunteers who work at the Welcome Centre in the plaza.

Sanjiiiii! Have I told you lately that I love you?

[After Selphie's through filtering a message to the pirate chef, she's off to the bakery to get ideas for Valentine's Day Gifts and then the library to look for recipes and then off to the Plaza for baking supplies. Of course, she does have time for a question or two.]

[Filtered away from Ceodore - 65% Hackable]

So. If you wanted to give your significant other something for Valentine's Day... would you make something or buy it instead?

Also, anybody tells Ceodore that I'm doing this and you're gonna regret it. It's a surprise! A super duper mega important life and death depends on it surprise! So nobody tells him anything! OR ELSE.

Thank you Luceti! You're the best, as always. [Selphie takes the time to draw in a heart and smiley face.]

[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.

[So after the morning's events of Chicobo hunting, Selphie's started making her way up to the Welcome Centre. She doesn't have a clue that the next cycle is even starting but it's always good to have extras. She'll be making more than one trip between shops and the Centre. Blankets, bags of boots and clothes and pretty much anything the girl can think of.

There just might be a stop for lunch in there somewhere? Wherever will she go? Hmmm... Maybe she'll just grab something from the Bakery? She's got her mind set on something tasty though. She should definitely remember to get in some training down at the dome. Arumat would probably have her head if she didn't keep that up at least.

After that's all said and done and Selphie's had a chance to eat, clean up, take a nap and check the journal and... oh hey, New Feather's already? Awesome, time to break out the Welcome Wagon!]

Welcome to Luceti Newbies!!!!

[Then she'll switch to voice.]

If you're new around these parts then welcome to Luceti! If you need a hand or wanna see a friendly face, be sure to pop by the Welcome Centre. If anyone needs directions... I'll try to help ya out but uh... nevermind! I'll do my best to help you out, promise!

[When Selphie wakes up this morning, she's a bit confused. She doesn't know how she got home but it's with a somber feeling in her heart because she knows that people around her are suffering. It takes her a few moments but eventually she realizes that she's at home in the safety of her own room and regardless of the fact that she feels like a bruise, she hauls herself out of bed and reaches for her journal.]

Hey everybody, looks like we're back in the village. We did our best and it looks like we're not under water so... hooray?

[Sorry Luceti, she's not feeling it today as she closes her journal. She's pretty dead tired and doesn't want to be by herself at the moment. She'll pad through the house which doesn't feel the same without the others around. Feel free to stop her along the way if you're in the house but she's intent on crawling into bed with Ceodore and sleeping the rest of the day away.

They could probably both use the company right now. Hooray for communal angst!]
