Some Kind of Life

[AUDIO]

[Pilouette is still a little nervous about making announcements like these. While she's gained a little confidence as of late, she can't help but feel a little bit anxious. With a deep breath, turns on the audio function, and starts her announcement.]

H-Hi, everyone! Pilouette here! Um, I hope all you New Feathers are settling in okay! I know it can be tough, but...um...it gets a little easier after a while!

[She can't help but cringe inwardly as she says that. Being in Luceti may be easier after a while, but she's still not sure if getting used to being here is a good thing or not.]

And like, speaking of! I just wanted to tell everyone about the upcoming New Feather Party! This time, it's going to be a beach party! It'll be at 1:00 PM on the 18th at...um, at the beach. [She did already say it was a beach party...she frowns briefly, making a note to try scripting out her announcement next time.]

It'll be lots of fun and there will be a lot of food and stuff, too! But um...also...if anyone wants to make a dish to share with everyone then go ahead and bring something! Like a potluck, you know? I really hope I'll see you all then!

[ACTION]
[During the day Pilouette will be poking around the item shop, looking for beach-y summer-type things; beach balls, squirt guns, water balloons, beach chairs and the like. She'll also be putting up a few small posters about the party around the village in case anyone missed the announcement.

Later on, she'll be in the library (which she eventually decided probably wasn't a haunted death trap as she previously thought) looking for cookbooks and scribbling down notes and recipes.]

[First aid.

Pilouette has never really had much of an interest in medicine, nor has she ever thought medical work of any kind was within her capabilities. However, Precis did have a point. Since Pilouette wanted a way to contribute and be useful, first aid would be a pretty good skill to learn, especially if her luck finally ran out and she suddenly found herself being drafted.

So, a little apprehensively, she turns to the journals.]

U-Um! I was wondering if, um, if anyone could maybe...teach me first aid? I mean, I'm not asking anyone to do it for nothing! Really! I can clean really well and um, I can cook a little! I-I'd just really like to learn how to do it!

[Action]

( oh gosh, look at all that introspection. )

[It occurs to her only now how long she might have been sitting in the snow in the middle of the forest on that first day in Luceti, sniveling and crying, if not for someone happening upon her and helping her find her way. And so later that day, dressed for the weather (along with her fake glasses, as they did always make her feel a just little less nervous) and with a small bag containing her journal, a little bit of food and a blanket, she walks off into the forest, just in case The Malnosso have seen fit to dump any New Feathers in the forest.

However, that's only part of the reason she sets off on her little adventure. Though she realizes that being stuck in this place for a year isn't something to celebrate or treat as a special occasion, she feels she should do something. She's decided to try and find the spot where she first arrived. Pilouette knows full well it won't really help anything and she's not even sure if she can even recall quite what it looked like as the area was covered with snow (her state of panic didn't help either) but Pils thinks that maybe she'll remember if she sees it.

Spoiler Alert: She probably won't.]

[It's summer. School is out. School is out and Pilouette has been left with an abundance of free time, having chickened out on asking to work in the Welcome Center. And having this sudden excess of free time, Pilouette finds herself a little bored. Back home, she at least had a moderate amount of chores to do to keep her busy every once in a while; she would clean the whole house from top to bottom, vacuuming, mopping...It's not that she particularly liked doing it, but it was something she had gotten used to.

However, now that she's living in an apartment, even if it is big enough for three people, there's quite a bit less to do. So having finished cleaning up a bit, she sets down the small vaccum she found in the item shop (a find she was quite happy about) she starts heading to her room and, with the intention of making herself useful, she nervously takes to the journal.]

Hey, um,...this is probably like, super weird, but does anyone need any help with any around the house-type stu-

[As she pulls open the door to her room, she stops short, her eyes widening. As the journal slips from her hand, she lets out a high pitched screech.]

Ehhh…that’s not a very cute sound at all.

[The video shows…a panda. Literally, a panda going through some of Pilouette’s things.]

Where do you keep the bamboo? I haven’t eaten in so long that I’m light-headed.

Wh...What are you...?!

[The sound of retreating footsteps can be heard from off frame only to return seconds later. Within moments Pilouette is upon the panda and...starts vacuuming him? He falls over immediately, almost as if he’s intimidated by the vacuum.]



Uwaaa--! Don’t suck me up!

[While flailing, he manages to knock over Pil’s journal ending the feed…but he’s not going anywhere anytime soon.]

[ooc; Joint post from Pilouette and Panda! Panda will reply to most if not all threads himself. He’ll either talk with Pils or just start his own, depending on how conversation goes.]
