Three

[pendantry]

[Fighting and weather chaos seem to have given way to...new arrival chaos instead. Unless someone shows up from her world, Raven'll be steering clear of the New Feathers given half an opportunity, at least until they know more about what's going on.

No, today she's taking steps toward all the things she made tentative plans about. First, to the flower shop and the item shop, looking for seeds that might result in food that could restore Rune Magic. Or a certain special kind of blue flower, one she's not likely to find until the fall - but she'll look, for the flower and the seeds.

Then she swallows her weird mix of fear-pride and goes back to the smithy. Time to ask about work. Now that her arm has healed and she's gotten a little practice in again, making accessories doesn't sound bad at all. Whoever is around in there will see her awkwardly stare at the building for several minutes before going inside to stare in a similar fashion at them.

Next comes an early dinner at Seventh Heaven, and that's where she lays out the journal and a small bag of somethings and speaks a message.]

I want to talk to some of you. I'm at the restaurant. [A very long pause.] Do all worlds have monsters?

[[ooc: Basically, if you had a moment with Raven thus far since she's been here, she made you something while she was getting herself back into accessory-crafting shape. Anyone can run into her (literally, if you wish) as she wanders around the village and tries to eat dinner in peace.]]

[Raven's waiting to talk to that Sokka guy or one of the other people he mentioned as working there. Until then she's eyeing the weapons on display even though most of them she has no interest in.

She does know when she's being watched, though. And she nods to Lightning, because that was some really timely not letting someone die back there.]

[thestormishere]

[ It's a well-known fact that being a main protagonist automatically upgrades your timeliness skills! At least this time it was a case of "show up just in time to save the day" rather than the "arrive a few seconds too late to do anything but hear a cryptic clue from the dying man" variety...

Lightning's usually pretty cool about just leaving people be, but after a few minutes she does start to wonder about why Raven's not really acting like she's looking for something to get. So- ]

Were you... looking for someone?

[pendantry]

I'm waiting for Sokka.

[There isn't much to look for because the place is a mess. All disorganized. Besides, Raven's satisfied with her sword for now.]

...I want to work here.

[thestormishere]

[ Lightning is silent a moment, just looking at the girl as she kind of re-sorts her thoughts here; she's wondering if she might have been mistaken in her initial assessments-- which wouldn't be all that surprising, really. Her mind sits in an entirely different place when she's doing something like those drafts. ]

Are you friends with him?

[pendantry]

Not really. [She isn't really friends with anyone here. On purpose.] But he's in charge.

[thestormishere]

Right...

[ Welp, that's about the end of Lightning's curiosity over that part at least. Her gaze turns away, to a knife she picks up and turns over in her hands instead. ]

[pendantry]

[Raven looks at the knife, too, but she prefers her sword to just about anything else.]

Is that your kind of weapon?

[thestormishere]

[ -- Lightning had sort of assumed that that was the end of that, so it's with a slight hint of surprise that she glances back over. ]

Not primarily. [ A thoughtful beat, as she idly tests the balance between the weapon's blade and handle. ] But, they're a decent enough back-up.

[pendantry]

Don't stick any of them into the wall.

[thestormishere]

... What?

[ Where did that comment even come from...? ]
