016 A Series of Unfortunate(?) Events [Action]

[vulcanblazer]

[It's a good morning in Luceti today, and Adell is up, dressed, and ready for another day.  Full of training and sparring and just in general goofing off.  This is going to be a good day, he can feel it.   He throws on his coat and prepares to leave.]

Hey Flonne, I'm heading out to go training.  If you need me for somethin', call me on the journal

[So, after an embarrassing fall from her dramatic perch on a tree, magical girl Fenimore has decided to train in dramatically posing while balancing on an icy branch.

If he goes out in the woods today, Adell might come across her as she makes a sweeping gesture outwards with her right hand, shouting at thin air:] With blessings in the right hand, Magical Fenimore! [She wobbles precariously as she makes the wild gesture.]

[vulcanblazer]

[Adell hears this call, then looks up to the tree nearby. ...What the hell is she doing up there?]

Hey, be careful up there! That branch doesn't look safe!

1/2

[xelhes]

[She turns towards Adell's voice.] Huh--?

[xelhes]

[And quickly Adell's prediction comes true as Fenimore slips on the branch. She manages to stay almost balanced for about a second on one foot with arms flailing wildly, but then she drops. I keep forgetting to mention, but she's wearing long stockings and arm warmers over the bare skin areas of her outfit. It is winter.]

[vulcanblazer]

[Adell moves quick. As soon as she drops, he'll leap up into the air to catch her in his arms before she hits the ground. He ends up landing on his feet, but somewhat roughly in the snow.]

You okay?

[xelhes]

[She winces and shuts her eyes when she lands in his arms, but she opens them when he speaks.]

I-I'm fine. [She's turning red, but the embarrassment's coming from being seen falling from a tree again rather than the bridal-style carrying.]

[vulcanblazer]

[And with that, he'll set her down, letting her get to her feet.]

Good, I'm glad you're not hurt. But what were you doing up there?

[xelhes]

[After she gingerly gets back on her feet, she scratches the back of her head sheepishly.]

Uh, that was practice.

[vulcanblazer]

Practice? Maybe you should practice on something a little closer to the ground until the ice melts.

[A beat. Actually, this woman looks familiar, vaguely.]

...What are you practicing for, anyway?

[xelhes]

[She recognizes Adell by now, but first, she'll answer the question.]

No, it has to be higher up! I can do it on the ground, but it doesn't have the same effect when I confront villains. --It's my introductory speech.

[vulcanblazer]

Have a taste for the dramatic, huh? If that's your style, then go for it. But why not try a roof? You might have more space, and it'll probably be safer.

[xelhes]

...How would I get on a roof?

[vulcanblazer]

...Uh, that's a good question. Guess I didn't think that one through. Sorry.

[xelhes]

Yeah. ...Though it's not a bad idea.

[vulcanblazer]

...Say, do I know you? You look familiar.

[Because obviously magical girl costumes are not something he's used to seeing.]

[xelhes]

Ah--well, yeah. When I first arrived, I kind of borrowed Charlotte's clothes so you grabbed me and...you know. [She mutters the small text, just loudly enough for Adell to hear.]
