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. ]

Yes. I am. [ She looks up and smiles at the other woman. ] I'm just playing with the water. It reacts to me so strangely. [ And as if to demonstrate, she puts her fingers down to dip in the pitch-black where the water is and move it about a little. ]

Because it's black? [Guuuurl....]

[ She shakes her head. ] Not that. [ After all, she turns everything black. That's normal. Probably.

... It's normal so far. ]
The way it moves around like this.

[Stares.]

Have you never seen a lot of water before or is it doing something unusual?

I don't know... both? After all I just got here. Does water always do that?
ageless_words: (serious)

No, it's usually not black, Child.

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

But it always moves like that?
