New In Town

[reedyserpents]

A pale woman lies on a pile of ornate cushions somewhere in the forum. Her chest moved slowly with each breath as she slumbered, and she clutched a brochure that someone left laying beside her. She wore a long, silky, dress that matched the color of her coppery red hair. The dress was a little too long though. People who passed seemed to be tripping on it quite a bit. Not that it seemed to stir her from her deep sleep.

Perhaps someone should wake the girl and ask her to move? Or at least change?

((OOC: New here, with an odd muse. Taking a crack at a humanized sun goddess from silent hill Info link in her bio. So sort of an oc?))

Aaaand down she goes. The landing doesn't hurt much, but she's frowning at the sleepyhead anyway. "Pretty much nobody choses to be here the first time. I was checking to see if you were okay. People end up here badly hurt sometimes. Or worse." But they can cover the topic of the formerly dead later.

"Are you hurt?"

[reedyserpents]

"I do not... know?"

WHY IS SHE HUMAN WHAT IS GOING ON HERE?

"I... what?"

She looks herself over and prods here and there. Letting out a deranged chuckle here or there.

[brave_heart_verity]

"Yeah. This place does that." Ver shifts to crouch beside the pile of cushions, watching the newcomer. "Try to stay calm, focus on one thing at a time. You're going to be okay."

[reedyserpents]

"Of course I'm going to be ok!" you'll have to forgive her for snapping. She has a short temper.

"I just... need a moment."

Yeah that's it. Then she'll be back to normal, right as rain! But those moments pass and she stays as mortal and powerless as before.

[brave_heart_verity]

She really doesn't have to, but she will anyway. This isn't the worst tantrum anyone's had. Ver rests her elbows on her knees, cradles her chin in her hands, and waits quietly.

Any time now, whatever they're waiting for will either happen or won't.

[reedyserpents]

"this... is not good."

For her anyways. For everyone else it's probably the best thing for her to be this way. Not that she wouldn't try to figure out how to fix her 'problem'.

"Is there, a library in this place?"

Hopefully one with occult information. Maybe she can magic herself back to her previous form?

[brave_heart_verity]

Ver has no opinion on whether or not anything right now is 'good' or not, but she's sympathetic to the frame of mind. She wasn't thrilled the first time she ended up here, either. "There is, yeah. Quite big. Would you like a hand up?"

[reedyserpents]

"Where?"

She proceeds to get up on her own. She will not have you touching her again!

[brave_heart_verity]

That is just fine with Verity. She stands up as well, takes a moment to get her bearings, and then points down one of the larger and better-cleared paths. "Go that way until you see the fountain with the dolphins, take the first left, keep going until the cobbles turn red then take a right. Go through the market and past the fountain with the flowers. There'll be signs after that."

[reedyserpents]

"Right."

She probably maybe got all that. Now she's going to take off in the snowy winter without any shoes or anything warm. Because being human what is that.

[brave_heart_verity]

"Good luck."

There are plenty of places she can stop to warm up when she comes to her senses. Ver's sure she'll be fine.

[reedyserpents]

She wanders off without a word. Perhaps for the better. She wasn't the best company to keep around.
