6th Adventure

[forever_cheery]

Action A: Like most folks in town, Aurora received something in the mail! She's too curious and anxious to take it inside, and opens her little envelope right near the mailbox. At first she's not sure what it's supposed to be. Just a cartoonish ghost hovering a few feet off the ground. Confused, Aurora turns to head into the house... only to start hovering off the ground herself. She yelps in surprise at first, but then is overjoyed to have one of her usual abilities back. It's only a few moments to get back into the habit. Anyone neighbors or passersby can stop to see what's up!


Action B: Aurora is glad to have this ability back, and can be found hovering all over town, a smile on her face, her long hair trailing behind her. She's going up and over cars, houses, bicyclists, whoever. You there, stop looking up her dress! She's floating from tree branch to tree branch in the park, standing on top of flag poles, trying to outrace birds, all manner of things. However, being a ghost, Aurora is also used to being incorporeal. Occasionally she forgets this, reflexes taking over, and runs face first into doors, or slips off whatever she's perching on and lands with a thud before she can get her hovering back in order. Hopefully she won't land on you. Feel free to interrupt her at any point! She'll also gleefully wave and greet anyone she sees.

"Hi there! Isn't today great?"

[Shion's quick to scramble over when he notices Aurora slamming into a door. However, he didn't quite notice that she was floating and just assumes that she was spacing out.]

Excuse me, are you alright?

[She rubs her forehead, whining quietly, and looks annoyed at herself.]

Yeah, I'm really not paying attention to what I'm doing. [She does smile at him though, looking embarrassed.] Thanks, though.

[survived]

I'm glad you aren't hurt. Maybe you should try to be a bit more careful next time?

[forever-cheery.livejournal.com]

I will! I guess I just got used to walking in the last few weeks here. [Aaaand resume hovering. Not far, just a few inches off the ground.] Sometimes I forget what I'm doing though...

[Staring down to Aurora's feet.

And then up to her face.

Followed by back down to her feet, rinse and repeat.]

You....

[forever-cheery.livejournal.com]

Oh! Sorry. I keep forgetting that this isn't normal for everyone. [She lands again]

[survived]

So it's normal where you come from?

[He's clearly trying really hard to keep himself from asking questions.]

[forever-cheery.livejournal.com]

Yeah! Well, see, I'm a ghost. So it's normal for all of us.

[survived]

A ghost....

[He's honestly lost on how to reply to this. Does he apologize for her being dead? No, that's just awkward and unnecessary.]

I've never met a ghost before.

[forever-cheery.livejournal.com]

I'm not surprised, it's really rare for us to find people we can talk to. And I haven't met any others in this town yet.

[survived]

I'm glad you're friendly. And you seem to be solid, so I find it really fascinating!

[forever-cheery.livejournal.com]

Hee, well, most of us are, really. So far this is the only think I can do like I used to. Weird that Mayfield only gave me one piece of it...

[survived]

I'm sorry, I didn't mean to doubt you or your friends. I just don't know much about ghosts.

What other things were you able to do back home?

[forever-cheery.livejournal.com]

Oh, it's fine. I know most folks don't know about us.

Um, well, usually people can't see us. We're incorporeal so we're invisible and pass right through things when we want. And... we can possess people too. Though I'm not fond of doing that.

[survived]

That sounds like a lot of work.... do you have many ghost friends? It would be really unfortunate if not many people knew that you existed.

[forever-cheery.livejournal.com]

Work? Not really... We just do it, I guess! Like, it comes natural to us, I guess you can say?

Oh, yes, there's a lot of people in the Afterlife! So I have a lot of friends there.

[survived]

Then maybe it isn't so different after all.
