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?"

[ Firo just barely manages to avoid having Aurora fall on him, though the moment he steps out of the way he feels a little bad for not trying to catch her. A gentleman he is not, but he is semi-decent enough to stop walking to check on her. ]

...You okay?

[forever-cheery.livejournal.com]

[Aurora gets up, looking embarrassed.] Aha, I think so... Sorry about that. I didn't hit you, right?

[justdumbluck.livejournal.com]

No, I'm fine. You sure you're alright? That coulda' been a nasty fall.

[ He looks up and then back down at her. ]

What were you doin' up there anyway?

[forever-cheery.livejournal.com]

[Aurora brushes herself off, then resumes hovering, just a few inches off the ground. It's a more natural feeling to her than walking.]

Getting used to doing this again! It's been... a few weeks, I guess!

[ Firo's gradually growing used to the strange powers Mayfield residents display, but he still finds himself staring. ]

...Wow. How can you do that?

[forever-cheery.livejournal.com]

I could always do this! Well, before I got here. Everyone where I'm from does it.

[justdumbluck.livejournal.com]

Everybody..?

Sounds like it must be a crazy place.

[ Especially if people always fall like that. ]

[forever-cheery.livejournal.com]

Well, it's the Afterlife. It's just kinda what we do there! It's not like there's roads and sidewalks and stuff.

[justdumbluck.livejournal.com]

[ He crosses his arms and raises an eyebrow skeptically. No matter how many strange things in Mayfield shatter his beliefs Firo's managed to stay pretty firm in thinking there's no afterlife. ]

The Afterlife. Seriously?

[forever-cheery.livejournal.com]

[She huffs a little.] Yes, seriously! Don't tell me you're going to ask me to prove it, too.

[justdumbluck.livejournal.com]

[ That actually was going to be his next question. He tilts his head to the side. ]

Well, can you?

[forever-cheery.livejournal.com]

No, of course not! It's not like I showed up with a photo album or something. For some reason I can only do this now too, instead of all the usual things, too. I don't really get this place.

[justdumbluck.livejournal.com]

Does anybody get this place?

[ It's meant as a rhetorical question; to Firo the obvious answer is an immediate 'no.' ]

Anyway, what else could you do?
