August Catch-All: Sheena's Back! (Closed and Open)

Characters: Sheena and YOU! (Raine, Zelos, and Kratos specifically for Prompt One)
Date: 8/8
Location: Errywhere!
Situation: She's baaaack! And going all over the place this month.
Warnings/Rating: None so far.


Reappearance: Closed (Aug 7/8)

As a ninja, Sheena's been known to disappear and reappear suddenly, but that's usually accompanied with a puff of smoke and under her control.

Nothing like her reappearance today in Raine's kitchen. Totally asleep, Sheena is totally unaware that she's no longer in her bed, but is now on Raine's kitchen floor, curling reflexively against the sudden chill hitting her body. Given time, that temperature change would normally be enough to awaken the ninja, but Sheena's life isn't exactly normal.

Especially since whatever force had decided to return her to this place and time did it just as a certain Chosen was entering the kitchen, putting her right in his next step's path.

Around Keeliai: OTA (Aug 9th on--except the 21st)

Of course, Sheena's not going to let a little thing like being asleep/gone for a month keep her from getting back into the swing of things. Well, one month and a day. After all, she does need to readjust--again--to things. First and foremost--training. She has to get back into that schedule, so every morning she can be found running through the Earth Sector or in the fields outside of the city doing routine exercises or practicing with a makeshift dummy. Or even sparring with one of her Spirits. Or even someone who offered to spar with her one day.

Later, she can be found all over the city. After dropping Tomoya off to play with the Kedan children, her next stop is the Market and shops. There is a small matter of a Ball happening, so she's doing a little window shopping for a few days before entering one of the clothing shops. And who knows? She just may be able to convince Raine to go to the dance and will be dragging her along as well. When she's not there, Sheena can be found at her usual haunts in the Market, haggling with the stall owners over the prices of their wares. And if anyone comes close enough, they'll notice that the ninja is enjoying herself immensely-even if she doesn't always come out on top.

Most of the time, though, she can be found at the Jasmine Dragon. She may have been gone for a month, but thanks to instructions she had left "just in case" that happened, the Tea House is--and has been--functioning as if she had been there the entire time. Still, that doesn't mean there hadn't been--and aren't--things that need taken care of. So, Sheena can be found in her office, mumbling about the Kedan confidence that she'd return as she goes over back paperwork, Or, just to take a break, she'll either be working a few tables, or behind the counter, or in the kitchen cooking. Or, if someone is lucky, actually catch her sitting down taking a real break. But they have to be quick--that's a rare occasion with Sheena.

Although, because of the nature of her disappearance, she's going to be doing a little research on it. She's got a few questions and theories about it, so she'll be found at the Healer's Guild in her spare time, asking those questions--and probably driving Raine crazy at the same time. She won't be there every day, but she will be there as often as she can be during the rest of the month.

For most people, the day ends when night falls, but not for Sheena. Nope. She'll be out and about on the rooftops, running and jumping from one to the other. Partly for exercise, partly as part of her research, but mostly because she wants to talk to someone. A talk she had planned to have before she disappeared. That doesn't mean she'll turn away any other rooftop dweller. Not at all. Conversations and races from others are very welcome!

[ ooc: That's a lot of places to find Sheena! Still, if there's one you'd like to find her and it's not listed, just put it in the subject of your tag! ]

"Me?" Zelos looks like he's making plans to get to his feet, but this gets interrupted by Sheena's question. "I'm trying to stop Raine from turning into a dragon. Which is your fault, by the way. You vanished, and she went berserk. Not very considerate of you, if you ask me."

Which Sheena hasn't, because all of this will be brand new to her, but still. Zelos kind of wants to be angry at something for pulling this.

"Whoa!" Sheena went from zero to physical in about a second flat, and Zelos wasn't prepared. Everything inside him feels jangled. "She's fine! She's fine, I swear! She's probably still sleeping!" He wriggles his way out of Sheena's grip. "She was a dragon because of a necklace thing. We got it off -- she's fine."

It honestly doesn't occur to him that Raine turning into a dragon might be the most important emotional thing to process here. Sheena vanished. As far as any of them knew, she wasn't coming back. Zelos is still looking at her like if he glances away for even a second, she'll disappear again. Why's she so focused on Raine?

"No, Sheena, it was a perfectly normal necklace that turned people into dragons." Was it cursed. Honestly. "And... I have no idea. It turned out Raine wasn't the only one, and I think the necklace came from someone else's world. I can tell you what it --"

... Hang on a second.

"This Raine?" Zelos squints at Sheena. "You mean there's more than one?"
choiced: (you're so interesting)

"Of course she was compelled to put it on." Like Sheena said, Raine doesn't just put on strange enchanted jewelry she's never seen before. That's the kind of thing Lloyd would do, and even Lloyd knows better than that. Hopefully. Maybe.

Zelos sobers the moment Sheena mentions the other place, loses all conceit and puts his chin into his hands, watching her. "But it's still Raine, right?" he asks. "She's still Raine, no matter what. She doesn't have a twin."

He can accept there being some other world out there Sheena was pulled to before Keeliai, but this? Two different Raines? That makes no sense.

throwing in one more tag. Ground control to Major Kratos!

"A parallel universe?" What, it's not enough that people here all remember different things from each other, now there's more than one version of everyone?

... this is not the kind of thing Zelos wants to be thinking about right now. He shifts, suddenly and decisively, and puts his face right up next to Sheena's, peering at her. "You mean you might not be the right Sheena?" Prod. Prod prod. "How can you tell? You guys have the same face, the same amazing body, the same volum --"

It's perhaps a good thing he won't be able to finish that sentence.

/face in hands/ i'm sorry you guys

Kratos has not habitually been sleeping in Raine's apartment, but he has been visiting far more frequently than he had been. Just to ... keep an eye on things. And avoid Raine attempting to make some new dish, and Zelos having to complain to him about it later.

So he appears in the apartment with that subtle blue flash, and ... blinks. Zelos on the floor is not new. Sheena on the floor? That is a surprise.

Kratos's face perceptibly softens in the vague direction of a smile. "Sheena."

Zelos, on the other hand, is in the process of flinching back when Kratos appears. Sheena's slaps hurt, okay. The sound of Kratos's voice from behind them is something of a relief, purely because it distracts Sheena. And... well, maybe also because in the wake of Sheena's disappearance, being resentful at Kratos just doesn't hold the same thrill it used to.

"Raine turned into a dragon," Zelos repeats, pointedly, giving each word its own emphasis. "How much more do you need to know? It was bad."

"Raine turned into a dragon," Kratos confirms, still standing over them, but at least with his hands at his sides. "But the only real damage was to her office, and some of her artefacts." And him and Zelos, and Raine's emotional state, but he's leaving note of that given those things had been fairly well resolved in the end.

He pulls off his cloak to spread it over the back of a chair. "Is there anything in particular you're eager for, for breakfast?"

Just asking. For reasons.
