[ Action, Written ]

[The first nice day after a slew of rain, and Gracia is finally able to get out and run some errands. After making a big breakfast for the family, she leaves Elicia with her papa, since there is no school on Fridays, and heads into town.

Once there, Gracia has decided it's time to update her wardrobe for spring. She'll be looking through the official Clothing Shop first, but then check the All Passions out as well. Although she does find the official Clothing Shop a bit... dusty... so she may get distracted from her shopping long enough to give it a quick clean with a feather duster. She doesn't work there, but if you mistake her as an employee, then she'll still try to help!

After her shopping, Gracia decides to stop in at the Tea Shop. It's a good day for a cup of tea. And, away from her home with the bustle of all these people from other worlds around her, with the pressure of the last underground Malnosso announcement, Gracia has a question for the general populace. Speaking into these journals is still something strange for her, so after attempting a laughable filter and then disregarding it, she simply writes.]

Out of all the worlds you've heard of here, if you could pick a new one to start over in, which world would it be?

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

Would we have to go by ourselves or could we bring friends from home with us?

In this case? [She wishes it was otherwise...] You have to go by yourself.

Oh, I couldn't go and leave Rem and Knives alone on the ship! I'd miss them too much!

None. I don't need to start over.

[Some people don't have that option.

Gracia's handwriting is neat cursive, like an elementary school teacher's.]

I'm glad for you.

It's a waste of time to consider the impossible.

I don't suppose this one would count as a world we could start over in, would it?

[Heh.]

I think while we're here, looking at it like that is a very good thing. But I was wondering what other people thought about the other worlds they'd heard about here.

There certainly are several that have sounded very interesting. Quite a few good friends of mine have come from worlds that I would honestly love to see someday. Although I suppose that's getting into something else entirely.

[Like the upcoming trip home, but alas.]

There was one world that sounded very peaceful. If it was a question of starting over, I think I'd prefer somewhere like that.

My friend Helios' world.

I see. Do you mind my asking if it's because of the company, or is it because of something about the world?

It's a bit of both. Living with a friend, but his world sounds so remarkable. Magic, mythica, it has its own problems, to be sure, but it sounds very nice.

Hard to say. I think it depends on what's being left behind in one's home world. [Because as much as Mel would like to stay in Luceti, or maybe even go to another world? She's still got her brother waiting for her back home.]

In this case? I think... it's best to assume that you have no choice but to leave everything behind.

In that case, I think I'd just stay here. [Would Mel consider ever going home with Kurt? Of course she would. But at the same time, she's not entirely sure it'd be wise to think about that when there's no way to really know how things will continue to go between them.

Besides. This place isn't so bad when there's nothing horrible going on.]

[Whenever Gracia returns from her big day out, Maes will quickly bound to greet her at the door. It's been quite an eventful day playing with Elicia ~~what, there is totally no green marker on his face~~ and he's glad to see her back.

...And he caught her question while quickly checking his journal in between tea parties. It's made him think, too.]

Welcome home, hon! [A quick kiss on the cheek.] How was your day?

[Aaand now taking some of those shopping bags from her.] Looks like it was pretty productive!

Oh - yes, the shopping was good. Thank you.

[She shuts the door behind her.]

[Meanwhile, Elicia is coming out of her room in search for her mother because I TOTALLY HEARD A DOOR OPEN AND CLOSE MAMA MAMA MAMA FLYING INTO THE ROOM NOW HEY. Shopping bags are always like a treasure trove for a child with an arriving parent, okay?] Mama! Didja' find any pretty dresses for you? Didja'??

[Aww, it's her baby! Gracia smiles and bends down to pick Elicia up and hug her.]

A few! I have a bag you should look through.

Can I pick this world? Getting to come here is like getting to start over for me! :)

[ Yep, Ryoji draws a smiley face. ]

[...so many people really want to stay here. Even with the experiments and the war.

And here is someone who is admitting that this place is a fresh start.]

You could, but... I'd like to hear about your second choice, then.

[Raine is having an afternoon tea at the shop--she usually sits at the lower tables. But when she notices Gracia arrive, she'll give a small wave to the older woman.]

Good afternoon.

[Gracia smiles.]

Hello, Miss Sage. It's nice to see you.

[Scorp's intention was not to go to the tea shop. Actually, he was in the welcome center, mostly for the sake of getting some new and more detailed maps. Not that he didn't have some himself but. you know. He also sleeps there sometimes. But smelling - and hearing - things upstairs he's decided to come on into it despite the heat involved with it.

Which is why a creepy bondage mange walks into the tea shop, looks around, inhales deeply, and then settles in to a little glance at every individual in the shop. He might be lost. He might just be a creeper. It might be both]

[Oh. My. Gracious.

Let us sit here quietly and hope he doesn't come over.]
