tushanshu_logs | [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.

Threaded | Flat

Heather had caught the case when she comes in. She has some herbal knowledge that, unfortunately, isn't working well here. But, there are also some very good chemicals that do much better. She leads the girl into one of the exam rooms and pulls over the supplies one of the other nurses has gathered for her.

She purses her lips, pulling on gloves. "You know there's nothing that goes on here that she doesn't find out about." She gently takes one arm, and begins by carefully cleaning the arm, with sterile water. "When I was brought in, she found out about it." She is very gentle, very careful with the burns. "So, why don't you want her to know, darling?"

Danny tried to keep his promises. When he could, anyway.

And so the first thing he does when he heard about the grand opening is to make a point of showing up. He looks around the room curiously. Tea houses were still a pretty alien thing to him.

((Continuation of this thread))

If Bakura knew what was running through Sheena's head in regards to summons, his estimation of her would have gone up considerably. But her actions did speak loudly, which was why he didn't mind explaining.

"This is my ka... he's actually a part of me. One facet, as it were, given form. But other summons are of creatures which belong to their own realm, and you call on them."

Devin's still getting to know the city and the Foreigners in it; living in close quarters with so many other people is not something he enjoys, and he's just going to have to deal with it. In the early morning hours, however, when there aren't many people out and about, he can get something better approximating peace and quiet.

He spots a young woman as he's crossing a bridge over one of the canals in Water sector, sporting an expression he's all too familiar with. Devin stops a few feet away, staring out at the city around them.

"And here I thought I was the only one who had brooding down to an exact science," he remarks, quietly enough that Sheena could pretend not to hear him.

[For all that Kratos usually finds something to do, sometimes there are moments when he simply wanders the city at night, perching on rooftops to gaze up at the sky. On this night there's a brisk wind, cold enough to make people hurry to their doors, though it lacks the cutting edge from last month.

[One person is not. Kratos recognises the silhouette from a distance, even in the dark; from the looks of things she has her face turned toward the starlight and the wind.

[... It's too cold, still, to be standing so motionless against the air. Wordlessly Kratos moves toward Sheena, making sure to let a foot fall audibly on the roof so she isn't startled when he drops his cloak across her shoulders.]
