I November 3rd

[The skies over Apprassage are generally the last place a person can expect to hear the noise of low flying aircraft, but today seems to be an exception. A dull, almost muted whine emanates from up above, not sound enough to be a nuisance but enough to catch attention. Look up and spot a small ship whisking along at a good clip. Follow it and eventually it will set down at the grocery store or Penelope's house, and out climbs Penelope! Say hi maybe?

Friends and acquaintances who happen to be out and about can actually expect the craft to come to a halt not too far off, and a small loudspeaker crackles to life.]

Hey sailor...going my way?

[The bottom port hole slides open at that, almost invitingly, if you trust Pen to fly you around...]


II November 4th-November 23rd:

[Well far be it for Penelope to pass up a chance to have a little fun with turkeys. Donning a capotain like any good pilgrim, and an old witch hunter costume she'd worn to a Ren Faire a few years ago, she's out in search of poultry and their eggs. The campus is her first stop, but she'll eventually end up in Tisse, Hollingberry Field, and various other places! With a net slung over one shoulder, a go-pro attached to a shoulder strap, and a mischievous grin, she's off on a quest.

Help her find eggs, or ask why she's dressed up? Or maybe just roll with it when she comes running up to help you deal with an aggressive bird...]


III All Month Long:

[One thing Pen hasn't done in a while is go out in search of victims for pranks. Or helpers. She doesn't post low effort Vine style videos on her channel too often, but sometimes you just gotta. Camera rolling, she heads to the streets, approaching friends and strangers alike. With a smile and a wave to announce herself, she hustles on up.]

Hey! Got a sec to help me with something?



IV November 25th:

[The strange shifts in businesses going on around Recolle City weren't exactly unnoticed, but for some reason Pen had never considered that it might actually affect her. Not until she went down to the post office to check her business PO Box and got a letter from an unexpected source. One of the stipend checks that her sponsor sent out, right on time. Only...instead of the Fuji Industries logo, it was stamped with an unfamiliar one.

Heading outside, she plunked down on a bench and just stared at it, mumbling to herself...]

...What the hell. When did this even happen?


V Wildcard!

[OOC: Prompts for some things will be added in the comments for specific people as the month progresses. But if you want to do something that I don't have listed here feel free to drop me a comment or PM me at intercession and we can make it happen!]

Comments

[maidhem]

Oh~! That's so cool when you do that!

[Felicia caught one mid-air as they were pulled back, and examined it with a keen eye for a moment as she heeded Pen's words.]

Breath out, like a punch....

That... that kinda makes sense.

[Readjusting her stance, Felicia took a deep breath to steady herself and loosen her limbs so she could move more freely. Aware of her breathing and the heft of the training knife in her hand, Felicia took another breath--

And released, both the air and the blade.

It flew fast and true, sharply embedding itself in the dummy's shoulder rather than dropping away or missing the target completely like before.

Felicia let out a little cheer.]

[mincingminuet]

[Pen watched, holding the other knives in the air with her powers, ready for Felicia to keep on going. She grinned and patted her on the back at the success too.]

Good job. Now...try again. Once more with feeling.

[maidhem]

Okay!

[Felicia chirped, grinning as she hopped over to snag another knife with a little twirl.]

Actually, I didn't realize how much fun this would be!

[And, remembering what she had done before, Felicia mimicked her motions with a playful spin and threw the practice blade.

It hit.

Dead center.

Once more, Felicia let out a cheer; this really was too awesome!]

[mincingminuet]

Awesome.

[Pen grinned and flipped one of the knives over in her hand, spinning it over her palm on the raised portion of the hilt.

Her parents had showed her a little knife fighting, and she knew better how to handle it like a blade, so this was new.]

One more?

[maidhem]

[Felicia had long watched her father hunt during her childhood in the north, and she recalled how he would practice firing his gun during the off season and how he taught his daughters to respect the equipment. Knives were fairly new to her experience, even as a martial artist. She preferred open-handed styles, which kept her movements free and adaptable for anything that the moment called for.

Whether it was luck or not, Felicia knew one thing for sure: this was different, and pretty fun.]

Only if you want to.

[She said with a smile, taking one of the knives once again and hefting it's weight in her hand. This was definitly different, and she wanted to make sure she didn't just get lucky here.]

[mincingminuet]

Go for it.

[Penelope was more than happy to let her continue practicing. She clearly had a talent for it and that was good because Felicia needed a way to defend herself. As tough as she was, there may be monsters out there again soon, and knives were pretty effective. And proving doubly so now that she had gotten the hang of them.]

[maidhem]

[And, with a flourish, Felicia moved like a skater on ice and released the blade in a single, graceful movement. The training dagger flew, and once more struck the center of the dummy-- right where someone would aim in actual combat.

Felicia once more cheered.]

Wow. I didn't think I'd get the hang of that so quick!

[mincingminuet]

Did you have a memory?

[Honest question here. Because that was not the same Felicia.]

[maidhem]

Not really?

[She tilted her head as she thought about it, idly flipping one of the knives in her hand while she mused.]

But, I think I know why that ninja wanted me to be his apprentice. That was easy!

--ooh. I wonder if I should try to use ninja weapons next time?

[mincingminuet]

No reason not to give it a try...

[Not today though. That'd probably cause a Felicia Overload.]
