[Open] April Comes She Will (April Catch-All!)
Characters: Sheena Fujibayashi and YOU! No, really! You, and you, and you, and YOU!
Date: Second week of April on. (She may be visiting a certain red-head during the first week while he's "sick".)
Location: Errywhere
Situation: Oh Sheena doing Sheena things, training, summoning, working, wandering the turtle. (Plus a serious nightmare moment or two)
Warnings/Rating: PG in case Sheena starts cursing. :) Nightmare scenarios won't have much detail, but they will involve mentions of death. That will be labeled.
A - Jasmine Dragon Tea House - Open
Yes, the recent announcement is true. Sheena now owns the Tea House. And is actually pretty comfortable doing it--except where paperwork is concerned. That has been, and always will be, her greatest foe. Next to holes, of course.
None of that shows, however, as she bustles through the place, stopping to chat with staff and customers alike until she can find a moment's peace and enjoy a pot of tea herself at one of the tables. Still, there's no sense of her wanting to be left alone, so whether someone is looking for a job, or is merely stopping by to see her, or even a stranger with a question, feel free to join her.
She'll even offer you a cup of tea and something to eat.
B - Nightmare Aftermath (CW: Possible mentions/descriptions of death) - Open
Before the sun rising is a strange time for people to be up and about, but there are those who are. Perhaps they're going to work, or they're just morning people. In Sheena's case, however, she had just had a nightmare, and is out and about to "deal" with it--dressed in clothing that matches her attire from home. (A clear sign to those who know her that something's up.)
Even if Raine may have managed to stop her and talk to her about it.
And different nightmares have different reactions, so some days you may find her:
1) With a very placid, almost lifeless, expression standing still in an open part of the city. On a bridge or on a roof or even in a public square, with her face upturned, letting either the rain or sunshine wash over her. Or, with that same expression, standing quietly by, listening to the Kedan children play with Corrine's twin, Tomoya. Sheena? Quiet? Standing still? Placid and lifeless? Yeah, there's definitely something up here.
2) Or, perhaps you're sensitive to shifts in mana, or can detect when a Summon is called. Or perhaps it's the sound of lightning striking that catches your attention. Or maybe it's the sight of a huge ball of lightning with eyes that makes you head out to where Sheena is fighting against the Spirit itself.
"Volt!" she cries, launching herself at the Spirit.
Is she in trouble? Does she need help? Or is this some kind of therapy for her? Do you rush to her aid? Or do you hang back and watch, waiting?
[ ooc note: Sheena had three main nightmares. One is canon and comes from the game. The other two are based on incidents that happened during her time in AmatOmnes. While I try not to be too graphic with the descriptions, if you don't want the details, please let me know. ]
C - Healer's Guild - Open
Whoops. Seems Sheena had a little bit of an accident while fighting that big ol' ball of Lightning, and is now sporting a few burns along her legs and arms. Nothing major, but without gels or healing abilities of her own, she has no way of taking care of them. Besides, if she had been brought here by someone else, she really hadn't been in a position to say "no".
She is, however, in a position to make one request.
"Do me a favor," she says to anyone and everyone, "don't tell Raine I'm here? Please?" Surely a sensible request, right? Like the head of the Guild wouldn't find out anyway.
D - Greenhouses
When she's not working or dealing with her nightmares, Sheena can be found where the new greenhouses are, lending a hand. Sometimes alone, sometimes with Gnome. Hey, if you've got an Earth Spirit you can ask to help with the land, why not? Except this particular Spirit has Sheena sighing and rolling her eyes.
"At least there aren't any Gnomelettes."
Curious? She'll be more than happy to tell you all about those little guys.
E - Wildcard!
Got an idea that's not up there? Except for the first week, Sheena's going to be out and about the rest of the month.

Don't let that go on for too long. If you put off processing ... the walls get thicker. Bad things become more powerful for being contained, until the only way to keep them contained is to not feel at all.
[A sidelong glance.]
I've -- heard -- that it's possible to process the truly horrific things, and come out the other end. But I'm the wrong person to talk about how that process might work.
[He just knows the alternative is equally awful. All he can do is recommend not to maintain that state.]

Shaking her head slightly, she turns back to him. ]
What would you say if I told you there have been many times I wish I couldn't feel? Not just pain, but anything--any emotion?
[ Now, that's a scary thought. ]
I don't think this falls into what someone could call a normal situation, Kratos. [ Is there a hint of humor there? Possibly. ] So, I don't know if if it can be processed.
[ Actually, he's probably the right person to help her. He knows how she is, how she operates. What anger or surprise or frustration can make her do. She just needs that push in the right direction.
Maybe ask her for details she really can't--or won't--provide?
no subject
[Quietly, and still watching her, and though his face is customarily impassive there is something in his eyes, caught between gentle understanding and raw comprehension.]
But that it's not much of an alternative. If you want an example of what happens, Sheena, look at me. The fifteen years between Anna's death and my discovering Lloyd was alive is exactly what you describe. I was as lifeless as the other angels. Just ... for different reasons.
[... It's been a long time since he's known how to offer proper comfort. But this seems like one of those times when reaching out can only help. So he does, ginger and gentle, and making sure she can see it; and his hand comes to rest on her head.]
I'm ... familiar with abnormal situations. Perhaps it will help to tell me.
