12 Black Feathers [Action]

[ It's early in the morning when it happens.

A small area of black appears near the fountain, just floating in the air. As the minutes pass, it slowly grows until it's about ten feet in diameter, even partially consuming the fountain. About ten minutes after it first appears, Saten fades into view in the very middle, appearing almost as if she's asleep. She floats there for about three seconds before abruptly dropping to the ground.

At that, she seems to wake up. She lifts her head after a moment and slowly looks around. It takes several more seconds before she slowly pulls herself to her feet.

She spends a while looking about her, but before too long the fountain catches her attention. Or in particular, the water in the fountain. When you've never seen anything before, fluid dynamics are absolutely fascinating. So despite the fact that everything non-living within a five foot radius of her turns pitch black, she spends the next several hours running her hand through and splashing at the water. After all, she can see it just fine.

She can be found in the vicinity of the fountain for pretty much the rest of the day and well into the night. Saten is more than content with just staying where she is and observing everything around her for a while. She may not be dressed like a New Feather, but she does seem to be acting a lot like one. ]

A Shift is like...a phenomena. [Um.] Sort of like magic!

Is it bad?

[She raises a finger and opens her mouth to begin explaining...on reflex.

And stops, shutting her mouth and looking puzzled and at a loss for words.]


You know, dear...I don't think I can explain that with you being like this. Magic just...I guess it just is...part of who I am, and you, and everything around us.

Magic is life. Life is magic.

I think that's me though. [ Turning it black, she means. ]

But it always moves like that?

[ Saten turns the words over in her head for several long seconds, trying to get some sort of definition or understanding from them.

It doesn't exactly work. ]


You're right. I don't think I get it at all.

[...was she really alright? She didn't seem bothered at all...]

Most people are pretty confused by that.

It's not important. Not really.

Sorry I am a dreadful tutor.

Is it really that important?

[ Because why would anyone be upset over not being able to explain it otherwise? ]

Oh, it's fine! I dunno how to explain it, just that Shifts can happen.

It's only bad if it's troubling you, especially after you recover from them. It's why people usually look out for each other when they're under a Shift here.

[personal profile] before_my_darkness 2013-06-01 02:07 pm (UTC)(link)
Will I know when I recover from it?

[ Memories are new and exciting things and she's not quite sure how long they last or anything like that... ]
de_bel_survivor: (Smile > :))

[personal profile] de_bel_survivor 2013-06-01 02:30 pm (UTC)(link)
They usually last about a week at least, and you'll know when you recover from it.

[A part of him want to see Saten's--the normal Saten--reaction to this. Just a part.]

[ Cursing her own ignorance and naivety. Also slight mortification, but that's not anything she'd show to anyone else. ]

What's a week?

Well.... [...]

People just show up here. In their home worlds one moment, here the next. It's disorienting.

It can be. If you need to defend yourself, perhaps. But things are peaceful at the moment. A time for...well...fun.
