Sheena Fujibayashi

Hey guys.

The tea shop is gonna be open for the festival, for sure. But after all the stuff that's happened, we're gonna need a couple extra hands to work there. You'll get paid for your time.

...But you can't use the work to pay off your debts to my sister. Sorry.

Anyway one or two people to help us serve and stuff during the rush...uh, well, it'd really help us. If there're more then you don't even have to stay the whole time. Me and Zelos don't wanna miss the party either, y'know? So just lemme know if you're interested.

[[ooc: Briefly - Sheena and Zelos are married (!!), and they run a tea shop together. Best tea around, hands down, with little cakes and such to go with it. Oh, and Sheena remembers her attacker as a wild animal (instead of a wild Mithos). Needing some holiday help!]]

[Sheena got up early this morning to start preparing her backyard to be a legitimate garden this year. It feels wrong and right all at once - wrong because she still wants to believe this isn't permanent, and making a garden feels very permanent, but right because it's something to do and much better than just sitting around waiting for the next problem. With the last draft putting their food supply in danger, it felt like a good idea.

Then the skies opened up. Rain, rain, rain. In her determination to get this done, Sheena chooses to stay outside and finish at least the row she's been working on digging holes for. And she takes a spill in the mud shortly thereafter.

A muddy, wet, ticked-off ninja is speaking to the journal now.]

I don't think spring is supposed to start like this. Does it ever do anything besides rain around here anymore? What kinda garden is this gonna be if everything I try to plant in it just drowns first?

...Does anybody know what gets planted in the spring?

Hey. We've got a lotta new people this month, huh? For anyone who's new, I'm Sheena. I think the guide answers just about every question, but I've been here for a really long time, so if anyone wanted to ask, I'm okay with answering about stuff.

I was thinking about trying out that battle arena thing. Anyone done it already and wanna tell me what it was like? If it's like the coliseum I dunno about trying it.

What would you guys think about having a winter, uh, festival thing like we did a couple years ago?

[this week Sheena is a pirate.

Starting today, she is a pirate who doesn't do anything can hardly go five minutes without seeing something out of the corner of her eye, or turning toward a sound that's just barely there in one ear.

Overall it makes for a jumpy, irritated, out-of-sorts ninja pirate.

Looking to clear her head before night falls and things get worse (the dark is always worse, even without scary experiments), she's wandering the village a bit, including a rooftop or two - maybe yours. And she's carrying her journal.

So it's audible, after she drops it, that she is shouting about someone named Corrine.]

No! Leave him alone! [even when it fades, she doesn't look convinced that it was fake. Whatever it was.]

Corrine!

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!]]

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.]
