[ Note that all of these prompts are assumed to be more or less before the 14th. I'm going to have a log go up on/around the 14th which is going to change the vibe that is going to change how Natalia is interacting with all of this and as such I'll probably make some new set of prompts and/or a late in the month catch all log. But let's have some fun!! ♥ If you're curious about the turning point thing feel free to contact me bigdamnhero. ... And feel free to wildcard me if you want that's cool too especially if we make plans. ]
I / Bonus: Festival Day [ Some of her people got back today, some got back yesterday, some... well, there's a lot of people who are filtering back here. It's with that in mind that Natalia (keeping her heart stone in her bag, but is surprised as people aren't turning her head to her... ah, is it finally off now? Is she more stable? She's not sure) makes her way to the parade. The parade itself is actually super fun. It always is! A little tacky, but she's enjoyed it all the years that she's been in the city. She goes out shopping, maybe catches one or two of the Flix... you can see her during any or all of this but also-
Man, those people on the stage. Some of the royalty she knows this time and she also knows some of those people getting medals? She whistles and cheers for them and generally just keeps and upbeat day. This lasts all the way until it's actually much later in the afternoon, after she reads Zee's text. ... They're fixed, huh? And we passed?
When she sets her phone down, she takes out her heart stone, sitting on a public bench so anyone can witness it: it's a dull gray color, only the lightest tinge of red in the mix there. It's got a fissure running down the middle of it, as if were going to fall in half. But it's over now, huh? She feels her feelings for animals in it, and she mutters, ]
So we passed, huh?
II: Adventure in the great wide somewhere [ So they passed. And perhaps more importantly!! The outside of the city is still there (well, the current "layer" of it, anyway) and while she still can't call home, she does end up exploring that area out there. It's to the north that she ends up going more often than not, the rough direction of home. But her goal is actually a lot less to simply wander and more to investigate the monsters.
Anyone is free to join her (perhaps invited, perhaps by chance) but with some gear and binoculars, when she's got the time between school and work to do this, she's heading out there and trying to get a grasp for the new ecology out here in the woods, or in the regions along the roads. Where do the packs of Beowulfs sleep. Do the Blue Eyes have nests anywhere, and how do they hunt? Where do those balls with mouths fit in? She's so curious. ]
III: Let's see the village [ So Pesgare. Astin was out there and it sounded fun if a little bit boring, like they had said. But going out to any of the other places sounds dangerous and really, she considers just heading out there. There's a convenient enough ferry over there, so she heads out to the docks and...
Well, boats over.
She's got a smile on her face as she does, asking people on the boat: ]
So, have you been there before? What do you think we're heading into?
[ But once there? Well, she's here for it all! The shopping! The rain! Looking around for strange fish and taking pictures! Andddd... well, singing battles, if you want to do that. ]
