I would like to join the general population in welcoming all of our New Feathers to Luceti! My name is Maes Hughes and I've been here for well on nine months now. If you have any questions about our situation or past natural disasters, feel free to speak up!

[ And for action- as promised to his good friend Poland in a post too lazy to be linked-

[action - if you don't mind another newbie?]

[Having spent a little too much time freezing, the day before, one would think Jilly would be staying inside, bundled up at the Welcome Center. But she's never been one to stay cooped up so, despite the cold, she's gone back out to sit by the fountain where she was found. She's still not dressed for the weather... not really, with just a bulky sweatshirt and fingerless gloves for warmth... but it's better than a sundress. And actual gloves would get in the way of her drawing.

Because that's what she's doing. Having snatched a pad of paper and a pencil from somewhere, she's out people watching, eyes flickering between passerbys and the lines appearing on the page]

[action - I never mind more |D]

[ This young lady looks to be rather pensive, clearly absorbed in her work, and quite possibly not in the mood to be disturbed.

So he'll pop right up by her :|b ]

Excuse me, Miss! I don't suppose you've caught wind of where someone could collect a goldfish?

[action]

[tehoniongirl]

[she jumps a little. She definitely wasn't expecting such an exuberant greeting. But it gets a quick grin as she looks up from the page]

No...you know, that's definitely one of the things I forgot to ask about, yesterday.

[action]

[idkmybffroy]

You're a New Feather, then? [ herpderp, just taking a seat. ] Pleased to make your acquaintance; I'm Maes Hughes!

[action]

[tehoniongirl]

Is that what we're called? [A bit of a laugh, conscientious of the sensitive wings hidden under her oversized sweater] It's fitting.

[setting her sketchbook aside, she'll offer a hand] Jilly Coppercorn. It's nice to meet you.

[action]

[idkmybffroy]

[ Enthusiastic handshake is a go. ] I thought it was fitting when I first turned up, too. It's good to know some things are timeless.

[action]

[tehoniongirl]

So why the goldfish?

[action]

[idkmybffroy]

Well, I promised a friend of mine that I would put forth my best search effort to find him a new pet. He's very partial to fish, too~

[action]

[tehoniongirl]

Well, then you can't disappoint him. [a grin] Any chance it's as easy as finding a pet shop?

[did they even have pet shops, here?]

[action]

[idkmybffroy]

Luceti's running low on shop variety, I'm afraid. We have stores for clothing, food, and odds and ends that don't fit the other categories.

[action]

[tehoniongirl]

....So how exactly were you planning on finding one?

[action]

[idkmybffroy]

Well, if asking around fails me today, I suppose I'll just have to start researching how one goes fishing in the middle of winter.

[action] so late. Unexpected hiatus was unexpected. :'(

[tehoniongirl]

[a laugh] Having been stuck out here a few days ago? I'd say with lots of coats.

[action] it's fine~ backtagging is how I roll.

[idkmybffroy]

[ And a laugh right back at you. ]

That may be the soundest advice I've gotten all day!

[action]

[tehoniongirl]

your friend is lucky to have you working so hard to keep your promise.

[action]

[idkmybffroy]

Well, a man isn't much without his word to fall back on, is he?
