1st Adventure

[forever_cheery]

[Action1 : 921 Bilko Blvd. Waking up is awfully strange, especially when you don't sleep. Aurora Belle sits up in the bed for a few moments, blinking in confusion. Everything around her was solid, as well. Was this some new fancy house in the Afterlife? They certainly never had pajamas before there. Or sleeping people

Action 2

[ooeeooahah]

[ Ilsa finds her in the park by following the glow of OMG HAPPY, and arrives just in time to hear the plan to climb a tree. ]

How long has it been since you went climbing?

[ No, she's not pinging that Aurora is a ghost, just that she hasn't been human recently. ]

[forever_cheery]

[She's already trying to climb it and obviously has no idea what she's doing. It doesn't help that she's wearing 1950-s ladies shoes and a dress.]

Oh, not in a tree ever. I've seen people do it, though, it looks like fun, sitting up there in the leaves and the breeze.

[ooeeooahah]

I see...

[ Ilsa chuckles lightly. ]

Though I usually chose to wear jeans when I decided to climb.

[forever_cheery]

That would be better, but there were no pants that fit me in my closet. I'll have to find some later. The dresses are pretty cute, though.

[ooeeooahah]

[ Watching to make sure the young woman is steady, ]

So, you woke up here today?

[forever_cheery]

[She's actually doing quite well despite the clothing handicap.]

Yep! I guess that's really obvious. I guess if I wanna go incognito, I should be walking around with my head hanging. Or so everyone is leading me to believe.

[ooeeooahah]

No, that would be one of us on a bad day. A vapid smile with no intelligence behind it is what the drones look like.

[forever_cheery]

Oh right, that too. But everyone keeps telling me I'm far too cheerful for this place. I mean, being like this, I have no reason not to be.

[She hoists herself up onto a branch, and looks out on the park, smiling widely.] Especially on a day like this.

[ooeeooahah]

There is that - people who remember another place tend to focus on the need to get back. Most of them. For some, this is a better day than most.

[ Ilsa shrugs. ]

Having every day perfect, except when the nightmares come out, it can get wearing on a body.

[forever_cheery]

Well, I really should get back to where I was. Where I'm from isn't much like Earth at all, but being able to visit it AND interact with it is really cool!

I don't think I can get sick of this. [She takes in a deep breath and lets it out.] But, what "nightmares"? I've heard people talking about bad things that happen, but no one has mentioned anything besides razor blades in milk. So, I just won't drink milk.

[ooeeooahah]

Did someone give you the pamphlet? It has most of the worst events chronicled. Just so you're aware, and can enjoy days like this more.

[forever_cheery]

Pamphlet? No, I don't think so. Where do I get it?

[ooeeooahah]

I carry extras, and I have a map if you'd like one.

[ Ilsa starts rummaging in her purse. ]

[forever_cheery]

Oh, a map! that would be good, though I'm usually good at finding my way around.

[He goes to get off the branch... and slips off. Too used to floating throw things, and the mistake throws her off balance. She was't too far off, but she lands with a thud.]

A-Ah! I... that... hurts? [She doesn't look hurt, she's just more surprised at the feeling of pain more than anything.]

[ooeeooahah]

Careful!

[ Ilsa rushes to check her over, murmuring. She expects to find a few scrapes, depending on how Aurora landed. ]

Getting used to being a human on Earth means taking care. Lots of new residents have to get used to being more fragile than usual.

[forever_cheery]

[Just a few minor ones on her arms, which Aurora looks at with confusion.]

I guess so... Ahahaha, I'm used to being able to just float through everything so naturally... [She stands up now, looking a little embarrassed.]
