[a good bit of banging and clanging, and perhaps a bit of vocalized frustration, before a defeated Sheena sits down in a kitchen chair]

I didn't think it'd ever be this hard to make a sandwich. Geez.

[of course she has no idea she's left the book open. She can't see it]

Ow! ...Ugh. I am so sick of this.

[some shuffling around, and a dull thud]

...Uh...I could use some...I mean, I think I'm kinda lost? 

[this ninja is out on patrol. With all that snow and this being a rather long New Feather cycle for some reason, she figures it couldn't hurt. And she's been stuck in the house for too long anyway. Even if she finds nothing - heck, hopefully she finds nothing because there's no one here - it's worth it to get out some. The journal is open so she can listen for anything new or important, and all she has to do to get back is turn right around and head due west back into the village, right?

...Well, not exactly. Sheena's pretty good at moving through the snow...until she hits a big drift. It's like the ground falls right out from under her! And whoomph, it sort of does. Her journal picks up a ripping sound, the usual few thuds. After a few minutes, she's talking again]

Ow! What the-- ...How'd I get down here?

[[ooc: Pitfallen right into the tunnels. Snrk. Also I added a bunch of new icons but have no credit if you know who made them please tell me]]

What the...ow!

I dunno what just happened, and I can't remember anything right. ...Wait. That's happened before. ...Anyone else having this problem?

I can barely move my arm and I feel like hitting someone...Zelos! What'd you do!

[[ooc: ...LJ ignores when I hit the enter key these days]]

This whole thing is giving me a weird feeling, but I can't figure it out.

Experiment or no experiment, I think we need a more organized patrol schedule again. Any takers? 

It's been two years.

[that is all]

Another thunderstorm. All this rain's getting annoying. [and it makes her think of her first week or so in Luceti. Especially with the two-year mark so close for her] There's so many people here now we'd be totally stuck if another flood happened. And that's on top of a lot of other stuff. It's been too long for some of this to still be going on.

[and if you happen to be walking around on this rainy day, you might spot a ninja who is out training anyway]

[the sound of rustling leaves, a male voice in confusion and then a hard thud]

OW! What the heck...how'd I get up a tree? 

...Uh...oh. This is a problem.

Whose idea was it to dig a hole and set a trap right on the forest path?

[[ooc: Shouting ninja is shouting. Do laugh.]]

You know, a year ago today, I was eight. Wonder what that makes me now.

I'm glad Corrine's back, but I'm worried too. He's never been brought back like that before. I'm not gonna be able to go out much until he gets better. Hope the patrols go okay.

[if anyone wants to run into Sheena, she will be periodically out behind her house, training. She's not going much farther than that from her front door]

Uh...I think I'm back...hard to tell though, I guess. Maybe this time someone will be there to read it? I wonder how long I've been gone...

[[ooc: Boy, is it good to be back~ I was nice to Sheena here and she's not almost dead for once :) ]]

Guess that swimming trip's not happening today, huh? I can still work on other stuff, though. I've got a lot to do if this is gonna turn into anything.

[cue the long, stark black line that comes from being grabbed away from your writing. The Malnosso strike again]

Well.

That was weird.

Can't believe I'm saying this, but I'm glad things are back to normal around here. ...Anyone feel like a spar?

( filtered )

You ever get so bored you just forget how much time's gone by?

It's the start of another month, which means more new feathers. I know there'll be a lot more than this, but to anyone who's already here...well, I guess it'd be weird to say welcome. Anyway, I'm Sheena. I've been here for a pretty long time - longer than most people here - so I'd be okay answering any questions if you had them.

Hey, Stella. I wanna talk to you when you're not busy.
