Fifth Leap [Action] | Backdated to August 5th
[It is quite a dark and stormy night afternoon outside, as anyone in the Gardens probably has picked up by now. Homura certainly picked up on it quickly; the winds alone are just a little reminder of some rather darker days in her past.
The lack of a weather forecast meant there was no chance to prepare by boarding up storm windows, as one might do during a typhoon. But somehow The Apartments were holding together alright, even while the winds pushing the trees around outside is rather frightful. Even though it looks kind of like a pile of children's toys, one could hardly say that the structure wasn't durable the way it kept out this storm.
Before the storm descended on them, Homura had planned to stop by the library for a bit and maybe drop by the Orchards for some produce, but with this storm, she's understandably reluctant to step outside. It seems a bit pointless even to wield her magic and go out in the rain to do that; she would end up soaked in any case, even if the wind may pause. She could probably fight with it even as it is now, with time flowing freely, but it would still be rather uncomfortable. But Homura still hopes that it might let up in a few more minutes, turning into just a much more peaceful drizzle.
Stopping by down in The Apartments' lobby, she takes a longing look out through the windows, an umbrella and raincoat in hand, just in case. For ever so slightly, it seemed like it might have been letting up, only for it to return with full force. But, even with the outlook dim, she intends to linger around a few more minutes before heading back upstairs to her apartment.]
