[Action]

[Heart's awakening in Luceti happened sometime around noon today. She woke up behind on of the buildings near the square, and upon awakening the relatively tall robot girl found herself rather... perplexed. For one, she distinctly recalled being told they were going to deactivate her and she clearly was not deactivated if she felt responsive now. For two, there was something off with her outer frame; it had been changed. Two extra appendages on her back...

Hmm.

Either way, the change in her clothing or setting didn't alarm her that much. While this certainly was not the Mansion, nor the facility where he earliest tests have been done, she was used to being awoken after a shut down in strange places by now. This white sundress was even a little cute. Thus, with a slight smile on her face, she began her observation of the square, curious about it.

When she noticed that everyone else here also had these strange appendages on their backs - wings - she was confused at first, but then eventually concluded the simplest answer: humanity must have changed since she was last shut down. Thus, as she sat down on a bench in the square, she began to go through the motions - though she had no control over it, it was merely her systems compensating for this new observation as well as her own physical changes - to rewrite her internal definition of human to include the wings.

Give her a good half hour to do that and she's back on her feet! This girl would have been completely unresponsive during that half hour, so maybe you saw her then. Maybe you saw her now! Point is, she's snooping around the square but not talking to anyone while in a new feather outfit. Plus, well, she can't talk to anyone until spoken too. Please do feel free to run into her.]

[Also if you didn't read it yet, reading this my aid to you understanding of interacting with her.]

[Hmm... Heart brings her finger back to her face and taps it on her own cheek] I'm not sure though, "fate" should be a little more glamorous than this, don't you think? After all, these wings look like they might get pretty messy.

[prayingone]

They can, if you don't take care of them... but it's not hard, when you get used to it. [Here, her voice turns serious:] But you need to be very careful; if you lose too many feathers, you can get sick... and losing your wings will kill you.

[sixwayheart.livejournal.com]

[Sick? Oh that's no good at all. A hand briefly covers her mouth before...] And I don't even have anyone to watch me if it came to that... I might want to avoid it in that case.

[prayingone]

It's best, if you can... but we have a clinic and a pharmacy here, that's open around the clock if you ever get sick. [There's a pause, as Shirley contemplates the best way to show Heart where those buildings would be.] Have you found a book with your name on it, yet?

[sixwayheart.livejournal.com]

And here I was hoping for a nice, cute personal nurse... [An over-dramatic sigh later Heart shrugs and then thinks. It's got all of two seconds before-] Oh, yeah. I had on earlier.

[prayingone]

[Shirley sets her bags down, and holds a hand out.]

If you still have it, may I see it? If you do, I can show you the Guide... it has maps of the village and information about Luceti in it.

[sixwayheart.livejournal.com]

[Whoa, so helpful. She puts on an apologetic face-] Sorry, sorry. I don't have it on me right now, I left it where I woke up a while ago.

[prayingone]

Ah, that's too bad... [Shirley absently makes a thoughtful noise, as she considers their options; she doesn't want to leave Heart without her journal, considering how important they are to Luceti's day-to-day life.] Well, we could go back and get it... or, if you would rather, I can just show you the Guide using my journal.

[After she says that, Shirley gestures to a small bag (that would probably register as a purse to Heart) that she is wearing over her shoulder; it's the one that Fenimore made her for her birthday, and she uses it to carry her journal with her wherever she goes without fear of the voice option accidentally turning on.]

[sixwayheart.livejournal.com]

[Purse- A cute purse, at that. She makes a vague noise of approval but doesn't say anything about it just yet in favor of waiting on Shirley to show her this "Guide." After all, it might be better if she knows what's on the up and up, right?]

[prayingone]

[Taking Heart's silence for agreement on the latter, Shirley reaches into her bag and pulls out her journal. She flips it open to a page she's marked with a bookmark; Raine's Guide. She offers the journal to Heart to read.]

There's a lot to read, but... it's all very important to know.

[sixwayheart.livejournal.com]

[And she glances - well looks, I guess - at each page for about... three seconds. She's saving it in her memory so that she might read it later. When she flips through every page she turns back up to Shirley and smiles] Thanks. This is a lot of words and a lot of take in; do you mind if I read it in detail a bit later~? I might need to think about it.

[prayingone]

[Not being a robot, Shirley thinks that Heart is just flipping through the Guide; it's too much to read all at once, so she just nods.]

Of course... you can find it in all of the journals, at around page [blahblah, this is where you find the Guide].

[sixwayheart.livejournal.com]

[So helpful. Still, once Shirley's done she shakes her head-] Are you this helpful to everyone you meet, or was it just love at first sight?

[prayingone]

[Love at -- Shirley shakes head, her cheeks pinking.]

Ah, no, it's just -- ... ... I saw you, before. When you were sitting at the bench... and you seemed a little lost when I approached you. [She clasps her hands nervously in front of her chest.] Being a New Feather... it's scary, at first. I just want to help, if I can...

[sixwayheart.livejournal.com]

[...Laughing. Okay, that's funny. And that's cute. She can't help but poke Shirley on the cheek as she finishes-] And believe me, you're really reassuring.

[prayingone]

[Derp, cheekpoked.] I... I am?

[sixwayheart.livejournal.com]

Mmhm. You might as well be one of those school counselors~ Oh, or maybe a kindergarten teacher... Yeah, I can see you working pretty well with children.
