It's been quite a while since we've had such a wave of New Feathers. I'm sure the majority of you have heard, from friends or some of our more vocal residents, the basics of what life here entails. However, I would suggest that all of you who are able should read this guide. It should answer most, if not all, of your questions, and Ms. Sage has been kind enough to maintain and revise it in order to inform all new arrivals about Luceti. It's quite informative.


Those of you from Auldrant, I hope you're settling in. ...As well as you can, at any rate. If I may ask, I would like to know from all of you, even those who have been here longer than I, what was going on in the world before you found yourselves here.

...And if she is available, I would like to speak with the girl named Katara.

[Housemates or visitors will find her sitting outside enjoying the cooling weather. This is more like how summer ought to feel. They may also catch her staring down at her hands quite a lot - she's been doing that ever since she was briefly someone else.]

Ah. Well, you could use the molted feathers to knit me a scarf.

[ And neglecting her trolling skills, no doubt :| ]

[silversnowfall]

[She doesn't want to troll. She's nice. In fact, Anise once asked her if she took all the nice genes Jade didn't get]

Certainly. You'd need to develop a method to turn feathers into yarn, first.

...Are you really molting? That's unusual.

[uncutejade.livejournal.com]

[ Actually, Jade thieved all the mean genes~]

That sounds more like Dist's forte.

And I am. It's terrible! [Lies.]

[silversnowfall]

Then please, sweep up before you decide to go anywhere. I don't want Anise or the Fon Master to slip and fall.

[uncutejade.livejournal.com]

Oh, but children are so resilient! And it builds character.

[silversnowfall]

Well if you want to be responsible for Anise hurting herself.

[See, she may or may not already know some of your (strange and new) weak points]

[uncutejade.livejournal.com]

That also builds character. One must look before they leap.

And walk.

[ It may be a weak point, but he'll certainly pretend otherwise~ ]

[silversnowfall]

I'll be sure to let her know you think so.

And whether or not you believe yourself to be decrepit, Jade, since you don't remember your previous tenure here, you are new.

[uncutejade.livejournal.com]

New is the new old.

[silversnowfall]

[You say the strangest things sometimes.]

[uncutejade.livejournal.com]

[ Why must you always be a party pooper, dear sister? ]

[silversnowfall]

[Because she grew up with you, dear brother. Some defense mechanisms are hard to undo.]

[uncutejade.livejournal.com]

[ May he suggest a "feelings puppet"? They're all the rage for cognitive-behavioral therapy. ]

you made me laugh out loud for real. +5

[silversnowfall]

[May she suggest a good solid slap in the face. It's well-deserved.]

<3 <3

[uncutejade.livejournal.com]

[ Domestic violence!? That's shameful, dear sister. ]

[silversnowfall]

[One of them should say something here soon. The silent treatment isn't ideal]

[uncutejade.livejournal.com]

[ A few more moments of silence and then... ]

...this weather is nice enough.

[silversnowfall]

It's cooling down, at least.

[uncutejade.livejournal.com]

Was it much hotter before?

[ Just about anything was better than the sweltering humidity of Grand Chokmah. ]

[silversnowfall]

It was summer. [Something she came to understand last year.] There were several days that were unbearably hot.

[uncutejade.livejournal.com]

At least the seasons are shorter here than back in Auldrant.

[silversnowfall]

That's only because the length of a year is shorter.

...And summers here are still longer.

[uncutejade.livejournal.com]

Only because you're accustomed to Keterburg.

[silversnowfall]

Of course. It's where I live.

[uncutejade.livejournal.com]

You ought to get out more, Nephry.

I'd suggest visiting the capital but... [ He doesn't really need to say why that probably isn't a good idea. ]
