Forty-Second Show - [Voice/Drawn/Action]

[meteorical]

[She's been back from the battle for a couple of days, and even though she spent the first few resting on and off and visiting with people, Kairi's starting to grow restless.

Having a broken leg really doesn't do much for her activity.

Thankfully, Mia made it seem (and feel) as though it wouldn't take long at all to heal.

So today, Lucetians, if you were to open your journal you would probably be greeted with a bunch of stars. Stars of all shapes, sizes, colors and designs. She's currently drawing and then coloring in the outlines.]

So just how old is too old for coloring books anyway? Don't laugh, it's a real question. I'm running out of options...I mean the company I've had has been nice, but I'm not going to force them to stay here.

Let's pretend you were stuck inside your room for a while. What would you do to entertain yourself?

I've been thinking about what to do when this is over though. I think I'd like to start getting involved more, helping people. [Sora and Riku were both part of the Blue Rogues at one point. Xion wanted to become a doctor. What was she doing? What should she be doing?] I just wonder what the best way to do that would be. I guess I'll look over options later.

[And so she'll go back to drawing. Anyone who knows where House 14 is is welcome to visit her. Otherwise she'll be listening for anyone speaking to her.]

[...stars. Staaaars.

Oh, Ven's going to join in the fun by doodling some stars of his own. Little constellations and stuff. Maybe some Wayfinders.]

I don't think you're ever too old for something like that. Everybody's got hobbies, and it's all in good fun, right?

Anyway, if I was stuck in my room, I'd probably look at the stars. Maybe make something, but I dunno what.

[Aw Ven. Stars are fun. She recognizes that Wayfinder shape though.]

Something like that. It's kind of calming in a way, if that makes sense.

Well during the day you can't see stars, right? So what would you want to make? Something just for you, or for someone else?

[risingwinds.livejournal.com]

[Well, have some more silly star doodles. Maybe some smiley faces just because.]

You know, that's a good question.

[Time to put his thinking cap on...]

Well, I think it's kinda nice to make something for a friend. Something to surprise 'em and maybe cheer them up.

[voice]

[frost_jewel]

Coloring books? [With the intonation of one who has never heard of such a thing.]

When I am "stuck inside my room," I read.

[voice]

[meteorical]

Just what it sounds like. It's just a book that has outlined pictures and you use crayons to fill them in.

What do you like to read, Mia?

[voice]

[frost_jewel]

Sometimes I study things about healing, or...well, or about Weyard. There aren't many books about Weyard here.

Are you up for some company? [she has a Plan]

[Written]

[shadedsunlight]

How's the leg doing?

And you are never too old for coloring or activity books.

As for me, I like reading so I'd find a nice stack of books. I'd probably try to find a good view. Maybe invite some friends over for some tea.

As for helping people, what do you want to do?

[Written]

[meteorical]

It's better. Not quite 100%, but definitely better than it was. Thank you again, by the way.

That's the kind of answer I like to hear.

I might have one of the boys grab me some books. What kind do you like? As for the view? I'm next to a window. I think it's good enough.

I want to make people feel comfortable and help them be less worried about the things that happen here, I guess. I want to contribute some way since I'm not sure I'm cut out to protect like the boys and Xion are.

[Written]

[shadedsunlight]

You're welcome. I'm Ginia, by the way. I don't think I caught your name out there.

What kind of coloring book do you have?

I like dramas, mysteries, historical fiction, and the occasional horror book. [Basically everything.] Sounds like a nice view there. Fresh air is good.

I think the best thing to do then is to be there. Be a listening ear and a shoulder to cry on no matter the time or place, always be ready with a warm cup of tea or whatever drink they may like, don't judge, just listen, and be there.

[it is fairly obvious what Sora does when he's in the house-- though he's not trapped; he's keeping Kairi company willingly. and that is sprawling out across the nearest chair and doing what he does best: take a nap.]

[he hadn't meant to doze, so Kairi's free to chuck a pillow at him for being bad company.]

action

[meteorical]

[She's fine with him snoozing for now, seeing how she's talking to people and coloring. The other two boys have been hanging out, too, which has been nice. But during this particular moment the two of them are alone.

And Sora has an ice cream bar drawn on his forehead. Courtesy of Axel. She's going to giggle a little louder than she means to. Oh Sora.]

Hey. Wake up, you lazy bum.

[a fate well deserved indeed-- Sora blinks, then shifts, then-- turns over, then-- no wait, he turns back, he's awake.]

Huuhhn? [... maybe.]

Pommy likes your stars! And Pommy likes coloring books, too. [/not a helpful comment]

[voice]

[meteorical]

Pommy? [Aw. Must be the little guy's name.] Thanks. What else do you like?

[voice]

[bemyused]

Pommy likes good food! And cute girls.

[Subtle, this creature is not.]

[daisy023]

[She sympathizes. The thing all Spartans hate the most is being stuck in bed... And her first draft in Luceti was one where she was injured even when she hadn't been called.]

You can read something, or sketch and draw. [A pause as she looks at the stars.] Sometimes pictures will be out of the question when you need to describe something.

[Voice]

[meteorical]

You think? How would pictures be out of the question?

[Voice]

[daisy023]

Cameras, photos, things like that. Sometimes you won't have those things on the field. It helps to stay prepared.

[Hey, hey Kairi. Your guard biffle is here, and he's totally going to plop into a chair.]

Helping, huh?

action

[meteorical]

Why not? You don't think it's a good idea?

action

[stilldontgotit.livejournal.com]

Nah, I get it. I think you'd be good in a support role, anyway.

[Not that she can't fight, just... please no more broken bones.]

[ he'll be. knocking on the door. awkwardly. he's had to stay away for a few days to clear his head. ]

You're never too old for a good coloring book. [ so. knock knock. ] Mind if I come in?

action;

[meteorical]

[Are you watching her face, Jake? Because that's suddenly a bright grin showing up.]

That's the kind of answer I was hoping for. [She gestures for him to come on in though.]

[voice]

[justicereigns]

If you want to color, then color. It doesn't matter what age you are. Consider it practice for other art or drawing someday.

Although helping people is probably more useful all told.

[voice]

[meteorical]

That's one way to look at it. I'll have to keep it in mind. Besides, I think my stars are getting better at least.

So I've heard. What do you suggest would be the best way to help then?
