[Katie's been back for some time.  She thinks, anyway.  She has a vague recollection of saving a certain captain from drowning.  Silly place to sleep, the middle of the ocean.  She shall lecture him on it one day.  Maybe.  It's not important.

What is important to Katie is not readily apparent to anyone who finds her in the woods today, though they ( Read more... )

experiments and pooka don't mix, love the taste of bedlam in the morning, sh-should probably eat sometime soon, action

[Paprika was in the forest as well, although she's flying around the trees. Just so she can check out other places besides the village. As soon as she spots Katie though she begins to fly closer, because it looks like the girl is hurt. She might need to call for help, but she didn't bring her journal with her. Notice her while she's contemplating about going back to get it?]

[If anyone's going to get her attention while she's so distracted, it's Paprika - Katie shifts her attention away from empty air to smile up at her, because that looks like fun. And after a moment, she'll add a wave of one grimy hand.]

[She almost misses the handwave, but at least the girl can move it seems. Paprika slowly moves the cloud down to the ground about a few feet from Katie.]

What happened to you?

I fell. [Very solemn, but her attention is on the cloud with wide eyes.] Into a puddle of water. I think there were sharks. Are you very light, then?

[Where there's the smell of blood, Pride will likely be around nearby. Although he's keeping himself hidden for the time being and letting his shadow slither about to find the source. Maybe Katie will spots eyes appear in the shadows and then suddenly disappear as if there was nothing there to begin with]

[Quite possibly she has seen them - there's the briefest pause in her stumbling as she peers at the darkness under the exposed tree roots. ...but maybe not, because after a moment of blinking, Katie's gaze drifts away as if someone called her name and she moves on. If Pride's looking for blood, she certainly has plenty of it.]

[Blame it on Gluttony for his weird cravings. Intrigued by this human, he decides to play with her for a little bit]

Now what is a child doing wandering alone in this forest? [the leaves rustled as if something was slithering around her] You smell of blood.

[Waving a blood-smeared hand dismissively at that. Though the word 'blood' does give her pause, drawing her back to the present long enough to realise that something's creeping among the leaves like the bogeyman. There's a long enough pause as she peers into the darkness, and her words are absent.]

What makes you think I'm a child?

[Aldo pauses in his walk through the woods when he sees a child stumble. Concerned, he walks over to check on her.] Are you ok?

[She barely pays attention to him, actually - just waves a blood-spattered hand vaguely in his direction and continues on her path. But her shoulders are rigid now, and her head is tilted as if listening to something. Sorry, Aldo. Care to try again?]

[Now that he's closer, he can see the blood. Oh dear. He runs over, stopped just a few feet from her.] A-are you ok? You're covered in blood! What happened?

[action] flicker_flash September 16 2010, 03:18:37 UTC
I went swimming. [And her voice is rather curt for a little girl, turning a nervous look in Aldo's direction. Oh, but she doesn't seem to be looking at him.] Don't fall asleep.

[Oh, dear god, child covered in dirt and blood. Yeah, that gets Giles' attention really quickly. He spots Katie wandering and calls out from a short distance away] E-Excuse me. Are you all right?

[Sorry, Giles, you're getting ignored. Though she pauses briefly in her wandering with a faintly puzzled look, before her attention is caught by something else and she continues on. Perhaps she didn't hear him.]

[Perhaps she didn't. She does look rather dazed. Oh, he hopes she doesn't have a head injury]

[Giles follows Katie, trying to catch up a bit. And he tries again]

A-Are you hurt?

[And now she does stop to glance at him - briefly before her gaze goes right past, over his shoulder, and then back to Giles' face with a puzzled look.]

I don't think you're meant to be here.

[It's always nice to take a walk in the woods. At least that's how Capell feels as he leisurely strolls along. It's almost like being back home. Except the small dirty and bloody child. That's out of place.

... Whoa, wait, what?

Abrupt change of direction. He's now heading Katie's way.]

[Oh now, there's a familiar face. She thinks. Katie pauses midstep, peering at him as he approaches. And then closes her eyes with a blissful smile, sinking down to sit against a tree, muttering whether he's close enough to hear her or not--]

There's something different about you today.

[Capell is both relieved and alarmed to see her stop and sink down. Even more alarming is that she is smiling and seemingly talking to herself though he only hears a faint murmur.

He approaches and kneels down beside her.]

Are you alright?

[And her eyes open at that.] Oh, I'm terrible. I think I may die any moment. [And she frowns.] But you're missing. Why didn't you - oh, I suppose you can't. It wouldn't be very fair of me, would it?
