[...Did the temperature just drop a few degrees?

The answer to that is probably (unless you have about fifty coats on) something along the lines of: yes, yes it did. Why is that? Because a Cally just arrived on the Plane; except this Cally is not her usual bubbly self: instead she's sitting cross legged on the ground; with her eyes closed and her eyelashes wreathed in something that looks strangely like frost... In fact that strange frost thing appears to be spreading in a small circle shape around her.

She just remains in that oddly cold state for a moment- and then, suddenly, her eyes snap open- but her head doesn't turn. Instead she just keeps staring straight ahead with a oddly blank expression. Not really seeming to breath- in fact the only indication that she's actually alive are a few rather tiny twitches.

Yep, she'll just be sitting in her creepy corner of the Plane now; being creepy~]

[pulling away from her] Rest.

[She blinks again; still ever so sluggish] ...Did it work?

[A short pause and then she gives a huge yawn]

[ex_fatalist246]

Did what work?

[lovethepossum.livejournal.com]

I think I was- [Yawn] I think I was raising something? Many things [Another yawn] I don't know yet.

It was just... [Yet another yawn and then she pauses; swaying for a few seconds before her eyes close peacefully and she slumps over onto the floor- all asleep]

[ex_fatalist246]

[Satoshi looks at her for a moment, and then, in a dutiful monotone of expression, he picks her up to carry her to the library (and a couch!) though he does not seem bothered by the cold]

[lovethepossum.livejournal.com]

[The Narration would like to express the emotion D'AWWWWWWWWW at this point.

Cally, however, barely twitches- she perhaps curls a little closer to the warmth but mainly just keeps breathing deeply and sleeping; she doesn't even appear to be dreaming]

[ex_fatalist246]

[Satoshi sets Cally down on a couch in the library, then pulls away the jacket and sets a blanket on top of her, not to mention the heater he set beside her. He returns home with a pile of police paperwork and starts working on it beside her as he waits]

[lovethepossum.livejournal.com]

[About three or so hours later she stirs just slightly; her eyelids fluttering as she curls so that she's facing the heater- a few moments later her eyes flutter open for a moment and then shut again; the shutting accompanied by a small groan and a little shift back]

[ex_fatalist246]

[finishes up his note and sets the papers aside, glancing over at her to see if she'll move further]

[lovethepossum.livejournal.com]

[After a few more moments of just lying there her hands come down and she starts slowly pushing herself up into a sitting position- her eyes still closed and her face still scowling]

[ex_fatalist246]

[Satoshi sets a cup of tea, a bowl of sugar, and a bowl of spoon out beside her. He already has a water bottle there for her and a plate of biscuits. Then he sits back down by his papers.]

[lovethepossum.livejournal.com]

[Biscuits? Does she smell biscuits?

...Yeeeeeeep there are now faintly terrifying sounds of nomming coming from Cally's corner]

[ex_fatalist246]

[from his place on the floor, Satoshi mostly ignores it]

[lovethepossum.livejournal.com]

[After a few more moments she speaks; spraying crumbs everywhere] ...Satoshi?

[ex_fatalist246]

[glancing up at her] Yes.

[lovethepossum.livejournal.com]

[Frown] ...You took me here and you didn't have to; why di-

[A loooooooooooong pause as she realises that she slipped into formal speak for a few moments; then a FLAIIIIIL back to her usual speech]

I mean; ya didn't have to do that- 'S rather weird of ya to suddenly be all bouncy an' that [she's pretty sure that her slip up was noticed but she'll deny it until death]

[ex_fatalist246]

[casually] Interesting change in speech pattern.

...Sometimes stuff slips out; 'S not that important.

[ex_fatalist246]

I assume you're from a higher social group than you'd like to associate with.

[lovethepossum.livejournal.com]

[She looks faintly awkward when she responds this time; and she'll be staring down at her hands]

...Ma an' Da were nobles when I last checked; an' I think I come from one of the oldest an' most inbred families around judging by what they were yellin' at me last time I heard them. It doesn't matter though- 'M gone now.

[ex_fatalist246]

[showing no sign of interest] Why do you hide it?

[lovethepossum.livejournal.com]

[She shrugs; still awkward] ...They ain't nice to other folk; I don't want to be like them; I want to be me- an' 'S just easier this way.

[ex_fatalist246]

Your blood is part of you. Rebellion creates an identity of negation.

[lovethepossum.livejournal.com]

What does blood matter? Jus' 'cause you got blood don't mean that you'll make a good ruler or that you'll be forced into being a villain; it doesn't matter- it's your choices that matter an' blood doesn't have anythin' to do with them. Ya make your own path no matter what- an' I chose to fight against the chains an' 'M happier for it.

[ex_fatalist246]

Hn.
