Sheena Fujibayashi

[locked from Mithos and Martel]

Okay, guys. Raine brought this up a while ago, but some of you are new and things've changed a little. There's a kid here in Luceti named Mithos - he looks like he's about thirteen, with blond hair - he's from my world. And he's dangerous. Not like he wants to go around tearing the place apart or anything, but...more like, he doesn't trust anybody. He doesn't need a logical reason to attack you if he thinks he's gotta.

I don't want anybody going after him or anything, 'cause that's not what this warning is about. It's just a warning. He's come after me, and then Sayo, and just recently Raine and Yuan. You don't wanna provoke him and if you can, you wanna stay outta his way. Most people, he's gonna dislike or outright hate, so it's not like he'll be coming after you for conversation.

But like I said, it's just a warning. Nobody do anything stupid.

Anyway, I was hoping some people here were still interested in working in the tea shop. It's been great so far, but there's no way I can be there all day every day myself and not go totally crazy. I'd need someone who knows how to brew tea, and a couple people willing to take orders and serve it and stuff. I remember people saying they'd like to do it before - that's still true, right? I promise I wouldn't make you work too hard.

[The tea shop is where she happens to be at the moment. Though it's noticeably low on customers this evening.]

I'm going to the store today. Is there anything I should bring anyone?

[It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood cold day in Luceti.

Sheena got up this morning - no longer small, or even remembering that she had been small - and did all of her usual tasks in the house. And now she's out and about, ready to do all the other houses she usually does.

So if you live (permanently or temporarily) in houses 6, 8, 12, 19, 23, 42, 44, 49, or 56, Sheena is coming to clean as she does every other day, and has done since offering her services to each of you. Others may find her at the grocery store, or on the street, carrying a bucket of supplies and a broom but wearing no coat]

[[ooc: The AU that didn't live during the event itself - Sheena has been Zelos' personal maid at home for many years. She believes he gave her permission to work for other people here too as long as she was home on time to make dinner; she's not much of her usual self in terms of outward personality either, being all subservient and polite to most people now.

And she's always in that maid outfit.]]

This whole thing is giving me a weird feeling, but I can't figure it out.

Experiment or no experiment, I think we need a more organized patrol schedule again. Any takers? 

You know, a year ago today, I was eight. Wonder what that makes me now.

I'm glad Corrine's back, but I'm worried too. He's never been brought back like that before. I'm not gonna be able to go out much until he gets better. Hope the patrols go okay.

[if anyone wants to run into Sheena, she will be periodically out behind her house, training. She's not going much farther than that from her front door]

[voiced]

I am really getting sick of this feeling down here.

Anyway. We're heading the opposite direction of Yuri's group. There are doors here, too, lots of them. A bunch are rusted shut, so I guess it must've been wet down here at some point. Couldn't tell you what the walls and stuff are made of, either, even with a lantern. But I think it's weird that this place caved in under us. The rest of it seems sturdy enough, so hopefully it doesn't happen again down here.

Lloyd got one door unlocked and he's working on another one, so we're gonna go in and look around. Gimme a minute and then one of us will be able to tell what's in there.

Hey, Albert. When you read this, I have a thought.

[action]

[standing outside the doors with the others, waiting]

...This is weird. It feels like...I dunno. Powerful. ...Like if I really tried, I could...

[a soft hum, and a quiet incantation, ending in] ...I summon thee! Come, Celsius! [and some more shimmery, magic-like noises...and for a few seconds, another voice]

...It...it worked. I knew it!  I can only manage it for a couple seconds but... Hey, Raine, Col-- ...Oh. Never mind.

Hey, Pearl, you wanna see something? I can probably do it again, for-- [a very different, very familiar sound, and when Sheena speaks again it's much more serious] Stay in your bedroom, Pearl. 

[and a bit of a scuffle] You're not doing this, not right now. I refuse. [feeling suddenly empowered, aren't we, Sheena?] You can't! Stop it! Let me go! ...Undine! [some more scuffle, and a pained scream, and the recording stops]

[though anyone who cares to go and see for themselves will find one window frosted over, and a mess of blood, feathers and water on the floor inside]

[[ooc: Yeah, yeah, I know. Sorry. But it's finals week, and semi-hiatus time. I just couldn't let the poor muse go without first realizing she had some power back...temporarily.]]

...Well...at least I'm myself again?

Good thing I've been staying close to the house. I didn't wanna be out in the woods somewhere without clothes. 

How's everybody doing? I kinda got sidetracked, I guess. ...Flying, it's...it's something. I'm almost glad I turned into something...
