Hmmm...

**Val's outside, not wearing anything different than she usually does. At one time, she had the appropriate dress, but, it was binding and honestly, she doesn't need it.**

So... this snow. This makes people cold, and that's why everyone is wearing more clothes than usual? Hmm... is that why it's gotten me such odd looks?

Ah... I'm still not so sure I understand that holiday.

Oh well, what's important is that Kirimi was happy.


[Filter away from Kirimi]

Only eating candy is bad for humans, isn't it?

**Val's made her way over to the carnival. But, she's not really looking around at anything in particular, she's just there, by herself. Seems like she's looking, or waiting for someone...**


Now, just where could she be?

**One might wonder what a woman who can control the wind does all day, especially a former fiend.


Nothing. She does next to nothing most of the day; sadly. But, she realizes this, and has grown bored of waiting for someone's voice to pique her interest or attention. Maybe she'll have more fun finding someone in person, rather than waiting for them to speak up!**

**Being that it's the twenty-first, Val is simply out, as if it were just any other Monday afternoon.

She's unaware that Golbez had decided that this day would be her birthday or that anybody would have anything for her. After all, the idea of a birthday still confuses her.**

I suppose I exerted myself too much trying to help from so far away... And I don't even feel that I did any good doing so.

Ah well... my mistake I suppose... I'll just rest...

I'll be honest, I haven't been paying attention to all the little things that go on, but, with all the uproar, it would seem like this is escalating into important.

I suppose it's too late to ask for details, but, if things get to the point that the children are in danger...


Master... you would be the one to know more of the details than I. Care to indulge me?

**Flashing back greatly to Kirimi's birthday (cuz we missed it this weekend), there's a massively large pink teddy bear and a pretty pink dress for Kirimi to wake up to**

((Sort of a limited post for Kirimi and Umehito))

Whatever you may think or feel toward me at this point, direct your anger at Rubicante. I had no dealings with his influence on you, nor did I know what he had you doing.

You'd be doing both of us a favor were you to eliminate him.

I'm not a bad mother for not understanding what a birthday is, am I?

I'm not even sure of my own. Though, I suppose Kirimi's is far more important than my own. I can't think of many who would want to celebrate the day I was created.

Ah... but, I digress... I'll need a gift for her. Something a mother should give her daughter.

...Sasarai...

((It's just one tragedy after another for her... Wonder what happened to the happy-Val of old?))

**Completely ignoring the weather, Val's walking around. Not quite walking, but floating, but it's the concept of being out on a walk I'm trying to convey~. Her head's been spinning over a certain something since that fire friend/brother-thing of hers showed up.

Every/Anyone's free to run into her, or wonder why a mostly-naked woman is out in this weather.**

**And she takes the journal out and yells into it** RUBICANTE! THIS IS YOUR FAULT!!

They... took her...


How can they... they...

SHE'S JUST A CHILD!

YOU CAN'T TAKE HER FROM ME!

**With Kirimi mallynapped, Val's windy rampage begins, knocking out two empty houses as she literally STORMS through the town. Suspect heavy winds and one very angry blonde**

This... can't be! Is this what they're doing to people?

H-how long do I have to look like this... This... this isn't me... it's not me at all! I can't even... How can I...

I feel so helpless without my hair...


((Let's just pretend that's Val in that icon, not Acrueid. Val's super-indestructible hair is bye-bye!))

(have a nice, heavy sigh) Finally, I'm free to take the girls outside and it's raining. I've really been meaning to get out more, but, I spend so much time with the girls.

Well, it's better than running into him by chance and... Well...

I feel like I've been a little out of contact. I certainly hope that everyone's doing well after all this recent madness.

I'm a bit embarassed to ask, but I am a creature designed to control the winds. Water was someone else's forte.

Would anyone here be willing to teach me to swim?

**After this post, Val, Kirimi, and Yuri can be found in House 51. Nothing spectacular happens, but feel free to catch the girls in-transit, or help them move their things!

Currently, the two girls are being NPC'd without permission, so all interactions are directly with Val until the other two join in**

Oh, this is just lovely.

I suppose I should let friends of myself, Kirimi, and Yuri know that we're moving. The three of us are taking up a house, so we've plenty of room to look after the... what is it, 'New Feathers'?

Uriko dear, there's no pressure, but you're welcome to join us as well.

This is been on my mind for a while... Who's been looking after the children that arrive here? Who's going to look after the new ones?

I've already taken in two myself. I don't see any problem with taking in more, if I had the room.
