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.]]

It's getting pretty cold out. I guess it's the right time of year for it. ...I showed up in Luceti during weather like this. [almost three years ago.]

Anybody up for some sparring? Just hand-to-hand, no magic or anything. [Raine or Regal will probably yell at her about that...]

[[ooc: Looking for some sparring fun~ Also I can't believe I'm a month away from three whole years in Luceti. What is this madness.

Zelos' thread will be chronologically last.]]

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!]]

[Sheena spent the past week making so many of these that not only is the front of the house (and her room) decorated with them, but she has piles of them to give away to anyone who's interested. She's planning to take some to a few people later.

Right now she's into her next project, though.]

Anybody know what kinda vegetables and stuff are good to plant in the summer? I guess I started kinda late...

[Yep - she finally started a garden, behind her house. Passers-by can and should gawk at a ninja in normal-looking work clothes, digging in the dirt.]

Oh, and, uh, I kinda made a lot of...decorations. Does anybody want one? 

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!]]

Finally!

[two weeks' worth of frustration and relief all gone in that one word. Sheena's vision is back] Took long enough...

Ow! ...Ugh. I am so sick of this.

[some shuffling around, and a dull thud]

...Uh...I could use some...I mean, I think I'm kinda lost? 

What the...ow!

I dunno what just happened, and I can't remember anything right. ...Wait. That's happened before. ...Anyone else having this problem?

I can barely move my arm and I feel like hitting someone...Zelos! What'd you do!

[[ooc: ...LJ ignores when I hit the enter key these days]]

Another thunderstorm. All this rain's getting annoying. [and it makes her think of her first week or so in Luceti. Especially with the two-year mark so close for her] There's so many people here now we'd be totally stuck if another flood happened. And that's on top of a lot of other stuff. It's been too long for some of this to still be going on.
