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.]

We've gone through so many people and there're a lot of new ones now, so I figured I'd ask again. Are there such things as ninja in your world? Do people think they're real or just a legend? 

...The stuff from home...it's gone for all of you guys too, right? 'Cause I've been thinking about it-

[BOOM. The journal doesn't record the preceding flash, but that was the explosive start to a late-summer thunderstorm. It was definitely loud enough to cut off Sheena's sentence. If she'd finished it.

Instead she screamed like nothing else - it did record that - and threw the journal across the room (thunk) before diving under the kitchen table.]

[[ooc: Taking liberties with the weather? YOU BET. Also we had a wicked thunderstorm here tonight and it ~inspired~ me. She will answer if you answer! Curious ninja must know!]]

This place is getting really dull. Nothing's broken anymore - I think it's time to liven things up a little!  Someone should plan a party! But it should be a high-class party. Not something that could've come from a commoner, okay? And it should be inside, where it's not so hot.

...Zelos, baby, I think  we need to talk about a few things.

And everybody else needs to keep your hands off of Master Zelos! He doesn't like it.

[[ooc: For those she hasn't flirted with, this is noblewoman!Sheena. ...Nobles in her world are...scary. Mean and entitled. And obsessed with Zelos (or any man of huge power and good looks, really - she will flirt with you.)]]

[Those who have not been drafted may notice Sheena spending most of the day playing outside with a small child. After a few hours of this she looks tired, but pretty happy. Watching Sophie while Stella's away gives her something to do, staving off the feeling of being stagnant. And she does love kids. Sophie's a little too young for hide-and-seek, but Sheena knows a few other little-kid games. They'll probably spend most of the morning and midday in the plaza. Maybe playing catch, with the journal open nearby in case anyone says something important]

Aww, haha, c'mon, I know you can catch it.

[And later she'll leave Sophie at home with Zelos or Colette while she naps, and sneak off to the clinic to visit a friend.]

I can kinda see how this experiment could be useful. (Even if it's getting pretty annoying to have other people see inside my head.)

Is it affecting everybody? ...Anybody figure out a way to hide the stuff you think about but don't want other people to see? (I tried earlier, but I dunno if it worked. It's really hard to not think about something and think about it at the same time. ...Not that that makes any sense. Geez, Sheena.)

[filtered to Kratos]

I wanna talk to you about something.

[[ooc: If the color I used for her thinking is too light, let me know and I'll darken it!]]

Whose idea was it to dig a hole and set a trap right on the forest path?

[[ooc: Shouting ninja is shouting. Do laugh.]]

...Raine...hate to admit you're right...but I think it's getting worse.

Someone's gotta keep an eye on Zelos...

[[ooc: Sick. No word yet on whether it kills her~]]

...What day is it now?

And is Simon really missing?

[[ooc: Sorry guys, I'm a little clueless. But, I'm back! And I mean it this time.]]

Well it's about time! 

[cue several incantations, one right after the other]

Heh. Hey guys. ...Just checking. [and they disappear]

Anyway. I've got a job to do. Finally. Hey Corrine, you coming? ...And I know we're in the same group, Zelos, but you better not try anything.

[[ooc: Here, have a happy ninja. Well. Satisfied, more like.]]

[It’s hard to notice at first, with how muffled it is: the sound of short, sharp breaths. It’s a steady sound, one that seems more like background noise, like static, than anything unusual. Only after several minutes of this does the noise change; following a soft thump, it gets louder]

D-Damn it…

[Slowly, she rises again, not even bothering to brush off this new layer of snow. She walks with one arm tight around her ribs, and the other one against her side, numb fingers holding onto the book. She wants to throw it – she would throw it, given the strength, if it wasn’t the only thing that could let people find her. She holds no illusions about getting back to the village herself, this time. It’s too far…like this.]

But…the snow…it’s…

[Another soft thump. This time, though, she isn’t getting up.]

I…I’m…it’s c-cold. …S-Sorry…but at l-least...

[[ooc: Ah, it seems to be Monday. On this side of the line, anyway. Sheena’s been kicking to get out this whole time, and the inside of my head was starting to break, so she’s back.]]
