[ I ] Focus ✘ [Action]

[crystal_stasis]

[Serah knew instantly when she glanced around that she was no longer in the Bodhum Vestige anymore. It was impossible for her to be there when she’d fallen into a tree suddenly. If hitting branch after branch wasn't a good enough wake up call, what else was? She finally stopped when she fell to the ground. Everything ached as she lied in the snow. As she started to push herself off the ground, something fell and hit her.]

Ow! What the heck was that…?

[Checking to see what it was, she noticed some sort of device lying in the snow, going to grab it. She wiped off the snow off of the device. She pushed herself up out of the snow as she sat down in the snow. Glancing around, this place really was different. She’d never seen any place like this, but then she’d never really traveled much. Sitting there in the cold, she ached all over. Obviously from the fall, but more than that her back hurt the worst.

One obvious thing was that…. It was cold and snowy. That was made clear while she sat there shivering. She wasn't  wearing her normal outfit, but this plain white dress was hardly a good idea in this sort of weather. Back in Bodhum, it was still warm out. She would simply have to figure out why her outfit changed later. She stood up, patting the slow off of her as she searched for somewhere warm. She also noted to herself that people here… they all had wings.

As she was walking, she felt a little sick from time to time. It must be because of this weather. As far as she knew, she was still supposed to be a crystal. Did she get free from crystal stasis faster than most people? Looking to her arm, she noticed her L’cie brand was still there. She stopped at the sight of her brand, shivering a little.]

It looks like I’m going to have to worry about this later

[Finally setting sights on a restaurant, she hurried inside, immediately feeling the warmth. Now that she inside a warm building, she hurried to the bathroom to look at her L’cie mark. It seemed to be… scorched over, but what did that mean? Did that mean that she still had a Focus? Was she going to end up a Cie’th after all? Upon looking in the mirror, she froze. Not only did she see her L’cie mark, she also found…. Wings? Why did she have wings on her back? She hadn't really thought about what her body ached when she fell because she figured just falling down itself was enough to answer that.

Pulling at her wing, she had to check to see if it was real or just some weird fashion statement. When she accidentally pulled a feather, she felt a sharp pain; the kind of pain that caused a gut pain. What…? What did…. that mean? Were these wings…. real? There were so many things to worry about right now. These wings, her L’cie mark, and… was that a bar code on the back of her neck? Was that just there to be there? Was there for a purpose that she didn't know yet?

All she knew was that she was definitely scared of what happened at home and what was going on here. Now she just needed to see if anybody was around. She had so many questions that she needed to be answered. Heading outside of the bathroom, she searched to see if somebody else was around.]

Hello? Is there anybody here?

[OOC/EDIT: Woops! I forgot about the New Feather dress >_>]

[supportively]

[she smiles back with a nod] There are a few just up ahead we can go to.

Ah— my name is Uchiha Mikoto, by the way. I don't think I introduced myself.

[crystal_stasis]

Okay.

It's nice to meet you. My name is Serah Farron.

[supportively]

It's nice to meet you too, Serah. [and off they go, starting to walk in the direction where the clothing stores are]

[crystal_stasis]

[Following her.]

How long have you been here, Mikoto?

[supportively]

Ah, well I think it's been almost two month now.

[crystal_stasis]

Ahh, I see. Do you know anybody here from where you're from.

[supportively]

Quite a few actually from my village and both my sons are here too.

[crystal_stasis]

That's always nice. To know people in a strange knew place.

[supportively]

Mm, I guess I lucked but meeting new people is nice too.

[crystal_stasis]

It is nice making new friends.

[supportively]

Yeah it's one of the nicer things about this place despite the situation. [she smiles at that just as they turn the corner nearing the entrance of one of the clothing shops]

Oh, here we are— this was one of the shops you can get clothing from.

[crystal_stasis]

[Entering the store, she was grateful to be in some warmth.]

Oh good. [Looking around a little and..] W-what the...? Is that...?

[Her outfit was right there. Grabbing it...]

[supportively]

[mikoto looks at her a bit confused by the reaction at first] Seems like you found something you like already?

[crystal_stasis]

[Looking at it...]

This is my normal clothing. I wonder why it's here....

[supportively]

It is? You know, maybe that's where they send it off to when we arrive with different clothing.

[crystal_stasis]

That could be, but if these are here.... maybe my necklace is too!

[Going to go change into her normal clothing first, though.]

[supportively]

Yeah, it's possible— what does it look like? I can keep an eye out for it.

[crystal_stasis]

[After coming back, she felt a lot better in her own clothing.]

Uhm.. well.... It's kind of swirly and it has a crystal on the top.

[supportively]

[after serah comes back, mikoto nods at the description looking around to see where they'd keep something like that but no luck] It could be in one of the jewelry stores, we can try there.

[crystal_stasis]

That would be great.

[supportively]

Alright— it's this way. It's just a couple of shops down from here— it's pretty close by and easy enough to spot. [and off they start walking in that direction]

[crystal_stasis]

[Following her..... Once they got to outside of the Jewelery Store...]

Ah! There!

[Pointing into the store window. She hurried inside.]

[supportively]

Ah, well that was lucky. I'm glad you found it.

[crystal_stasis]

[Grabbing it, she put it back on.]

Thank goodness...
