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.]]

I don't know about all worlds, but my world has them!

[ ... ]

Am I using this book the right way ...?

[Oh that Raven lady Soren's so fond of. Man, she'll be surprised to see how big he got... They've talked about monsters/animals before on the draft, but he always enjoys describing them. Chien likes remembering home sometimes.]

Giant frogs, fishmen with hooks, giant red lizards that spit burning stuff and bite at you... There's giant bees and all sorts of plants too, not just ones that look more like what people usually think of animals.

[a pause]

Who do you want to talk to? Because there's a ton of people here, you know.

[Voice]

[eyesofstrength]

While mine does, I can answer your question that not all do. I have met some people whose worlds do not have monsters.

[Interpreting her announcement of where she was as an invitation, Green decides to go where she is to answer her question. But, of course, part of it is to check on her. He hadn't seen her since their run-in on the moon base.]

You made it out fine, I see.

[folklorist]

M-Monsters. Well that is a term people use for the b-beings in my world. But I r-rather not use that term for them. They're all rather nice actually, when you get to know them.

[cop_an_attitude]

Yes. But in my world, the only monsters are human.

[ Since the whole "smithy was demolished by the storm" thing, Lightning hasn't yet made it back around to visiting the place again until just now. She's just there for the usual, though- gunblade supplies, throwing knives she can take without worrying about them belonging to someone else... so while she notices Raven is there too, she also makes little indication of the fact unless the other woman just happens to notice her initial glance. ]

[fierybluebird]

Aye, to my knowledge all worlds do, but the idea of what makes a monster and the definitions thereof differ vastly. Sometimes even within the same world.

[voice]

[wildlittlegirl]

I don't know if they all do, but mine does.

[Video]

[vulcanblazer]

Well, not all worlds have monsters. But mine definitely does, lots of them, and lots of different types too.

[shamelessness]

We don't have monsters, but my world has demons.

[generalflirt]

Some, huh. Isn't that pretty vague?

[markofthewise]

[Well. That's creepy, Raven. The smithy may be standing again, but organizing it the way he had it before is not hard. So after enough creepy staring...]

Hi Raven.

[grapecape]

[Whether that "some" includes him or not, he'll be dropping by the restaurant.]

[Action]

[hark_a_suicune]

[Oh, it's the lady he helped back on the moon base! A normal person would have assumed "some of you" didn't include people she'd barely met, but Eusine does not care about your puny social constraints.
Besides, she did mention "monsters". This is relevant to his interests.

It doesn't take him long to reach the restaurant, his Jumpluff in tow. His first reaction is of course... to beam as he spots Raven and stride towards her as if he'd known her all his life?
Well, it's as good a reaction as any.]

[gleamed]

[Oh, that's Raven's voice! Rapunzel snaps to attention.]

Oh, hello Raven! I don't thiiink my world has monsters. But I'm not sure! I've never really met any monster experts.

[Finally, a nice quiet party-free day. Not that Raine is spending it any differently than her other days. The morning was spent relaxing and resting off the trip out to the beach, but she'll be at the flower shop--sorting out and categorizing the seeds, in fact-- by the time Raven pokes her head in.]
