IT'S A TWOFER [OPEN]
[The Hills of Neloi & Westermiln | The 6th]
[After a few times creeping in and out of a camping group, Reira, a new phone, and her personal headspace companion are off on their own once again. It's better that way, she thinks. As much as making new friends would be nice, she doesn't enjoy causing the stress and worry she's seen from anyone present during one of Zarc's tantrums. What started as avoidance for the sake of caution becomes avoidance for the sake of 'care'. As she wanders along the highway and eventually off the beaten path into more hilled terrain, this becomes 'easier' to accept. It's quieter here.
And even Zarc can't whine forever (though he does his best to try).
It is perhaps mid morning, after sleeping in under some tree cover, that it hits. For the most part, she hasn't been unaware of the changes her limbs are going through-obviously the arm with a glove on it was obvious, but she can see the ever growing scales along her other elbow, as well as her knees. When she wakes in the morning to roll her sleeve back and see not only bulking scales and 'muscle' (or at last what looks like it) gathering around some kind of violet stone, she feels a chill run down her spine.
It looks like Dark Rebellion's stones.
...It frightens her. Despite knowing it'll only encourage Zarc to laugh more in her head, all she can think is if this would have happened if Yuuya had resisted more. A slow, gradual descent into-]
NGHK-
[That is about when she jumps, a shock of pain different from Zarc's typical tantrums, shoots through her rear. Zarc, in fact, makes an enormous deal about it not even being him...for whatever reason, something he'd only vaguely grumbled about once or twice while she considered the 'zarc-like' limb changes. But the girl shouts, and runs, blindly pacing the tree with her hands at her backside as if trying to find some kind of animal biting there.
There's no animal, but when she finally ends up tripping face first on the ground thanks to the aimless running-] Yy-LLFP!
[...Sproof.
That sure is a big fluffy tail seemingly made of nothing but feathers and down.]
[Now I Am Here, Now I Am There- | The 8th]
[She....
Is lost.
Reira holds her middle, stomach growling a bit as she wanders. It's been a few days now-there's been lots of berries at least, so she's managed to at least eat. And she managed to wander near a river too, which helps. But she's lost. She's lost, and all she can think of is finding another campfire, or finding Yuusei, or...
She could probably use the phone but admittedly the thought doesn't actually occur to her since she's not used to using phones anyway. It doesn't help that her tail is an inch or two longer either. It still looks like it's all feathers and fluff, but there's definitely something long in there, somewhere...
It's tucked in her shorts right now though.
Reira wanders. She wanders, and wanders, until finally she just squeezes her eyes shut and stiffens. She's lost, she's hungry, and Zarc is going on and on about it and whining about how she's in over her head, this is all her fault, she was at least better off with the 'duelist' (because at least then he could maybe fight the guy)-]
Just STOP!
[Rather suddenly there's a burst of flower petals, feathers, and some kind of wind-blown dust.
And then suddenly she's elsewhere.] Mnh?
[This happens more than once, actually.] AHH-!
[Too many times.]
KNGH- [Suffice to say she looks pretty frazzled whenever she finally comes to some kind of stop for....however long she has.]

8th
[Mom is... not drunk enough for this? Maybe she's too drunk. Look, she's not sure, the temple said she could have some brandy for her spirits, but they didn't anticipate just what a spirited woman she is. No one knows spirits like Dr. R. Lalonde, Ph.D. She may be out on the streets on her own now, but the pleasant, warm buzz stays with her, and she just blinks at the Sudden Child and considers the improbability of her appearance.
Then she just offers Reira the pita she'd been about to eat.]
Falafel, dear?
no subject
...Well obviously a Falafel is...food?] ....What is it?
[What is in the food.]
no subject
Li'l fried balls of ground chickpeas. And then they're in a pita bread, which's bread, and there's lettuce and tomato and hummus, which might sound yucky, but trust me, I'm a scientist. It tastes fantastic.
no subject
...Why would it sound yucky, it sounds like food. [CHOMPCHOMPCHOMP.]
no subject
[Mom claps her hands a little out of delight at getting to spend time with such a good little bean.]
How do you like it?
no subject
She smiles quite widely.] ...'S good..!
no subject
[She lifts a hand and turns, and after a moment of thoughtful humming, she points to a little falafel cart.]
There! Right there. The man runnin' the establishment's a real gentleman and scholar, I only had to flirt with him a little bit.
no subject
She takes another bite of falafel.] ...W's flirting?
no subject
Flirting's what grown-ups do when they think it'd be fun to spend more time together. Also, sometimes it gets you things! Because sometimes people give you presents when they want to hang out.
no subject
Zarc is weird again, no one is surprised.] They give you presents for spending time with you?? [Whaaaaaaat...]
no subject
[She sashays falafel-ward, beckoning to Reira to imply she should come with.]
What's your name, sweetie-pie? I'm Miss Lalonde.
[Not Dr., this time. Lots of children, they're afraid of doctors.]
no subject
...So I have to say 'miss' all the time then?
[Yes yes you do.]
no subject

[She's used to 'kun' admittedly, though she thinks she heard a 'chan' once or twice...]
