::So. It's time for me to follow an incredibly silly idea. That has been approved of by Jinn, Ozma and Linka.



A) You can find a pale-white haired woman at the Domino pier, overlooking the recently salvaged wreck of the ship Ancient Fairy Dragon had been using to find... someone who doesn't exist and never did exist.

She's wearing a mourning veil, contemplating something, something so long ago, another life. A place in time.



B) There's a young woman with the same pale-white hair working in or around the rail line to Duel Academia, on either end, she's wearing a Top Gun baseball hat. Two of them in fact. She's clearly always been working here and the the former employee hasn't been hypnotized or stuffed into a locker.



C) You can instead find her at night, with a green haired young lady with fox ears, conversing among each other, at the same rail lines, late at night. She seems to be tired, and writing in a notebook over and over.



D) There's a wizardly young woman with honey blonde hair, wearing glasses and possibly a cloak and witch's hat, playing with the animals in the Spirit Garden at the Spirit-Arcadia Institute, or the City Park. Or the hole in the ground where Kaikori used They seem to trust her despite her not having been around before(?).



E) The same witch is in Carcosa's Throne Room, packing up a Game Cube and stuffing a shower set up into a bag of holding. This might be most likely available for the Briar sisters or Sumiho the younger. She's wearing a T-Shirt.::

Alright.

::Follows after you, swinging her arms.::

Re: Option D

*Ruka leads her to a door at the back of the Spirit House, that has... an unusual amount of security for just a food storage room. She looks around, then carefully keys in a code into a keypad.
A lock clicks, but she then has to remove a bigger lock bolting the door.*

Re: Option D

[ancient_prophecy]

You need the food to be locked behind a keypad? That seems excessive.

::Laughs.::

Re: Option D

[voicesofspirits]

*She lets out a little chuckle.*

There's one particular spirit who lives here who constantly attempts to break into our food store and eat our entire supply of carrots, so we've had to put some extra security onto the door.

Re: Option D

[ancient_prophecy]

Oh that sort.

I'm just used to putting those in circles.

Re: Option D

[voicesofspirits]

In circles?

Re: Option D

[ancient_prophecy]

Fairy Circles. Magic Circles. Circles of Fire.

Re: Option D

[voicesofspirits]

Oh, I see!

I don't think we have the option of doing that. We just have to be vigilant of where Bunilla is and... change the key code frequently, because he does learn it.

Re: Option D

[ancient_prophecy]

It's so cute when they learn that...

But so frustrating... I can definitely sympathize.

::Rubbing the back of her head.::

Re: Option D

[voicesofspirits]

It's what we sign up for when working with these little guys!

*She looks around again, making sure that Bunilla isn't around. Then she carefully opens the door into the food storage...
... and there, on the floor, is Bunilla, covered in carrot crumbs, completely passed out in a food coma.*

.... aaand that's my sign that the keycode needs changing.

Re: Option D

[ancient_prophecy]

... I wonder if there's a way to discourage them from eating everything...

::Laughs.::

But I've always found it difficult to discourage the little ones myself.

Re: Option D

[voicesofspirits]

*Ruka laughs a little as she scoops up Bunilla in her hands, gently.*

Believe me, this little one has no restraint when it comes to carrots.

The girl who oversees the running of the Spirit House also trains the spirits that live here, but she's had no luck trying to train Bunilla out of his carrot obsession yet.

If you end up visiting here often, you'll probably come across Tomoko eventually.

Re: Option D

[ancient_prophecy]

Maybe I'll meet her if I come by again.

... I wonder if there's anything we can salvage from here... It'd be unfair to the others...

::Looking through the storage.::

Re: Option D

[voicesofspirits]

*Thankfully, there are other vegetables and food items stored in the room. It seems Bunilla only ate the entire supply of carrots and nothing else.*

There should be plenty for us to gather up for the others.
Let's work together to rustle up something for the other spirits, while Bunilla sleeps off this food coma he's put himself in.

Re: Option D

[ancient_prophecy]

I'd be glad to.

This is so peaceful, I could do this forever...

::Sighs wistfully as she starts trying to pick out some stuff for the spirits which are mostly small herbivorous animals, right?::

Re: Option D

[voicesofspirits]

*Yes! They are mainly small herbivore-like animals, though there might be the odd dog or cat based spirit, which may get fed dog/cat kibble.*

I agree. It really is quite peaceful.
I'm really happy you're enjoying it!

Re: Option D

[ancient_prophecy]

::So probably at least two mixes, a plant based mix and a more kibble-meat mix, then, she thinks, trying to sort out two bowls.

Shuffle shuffle::

You're a really good person, you know that?

Re: Option D

[voicesofspirits]

Hm? I am? *Ruka looks over at her curiously and a little modestly.*
I just do what I feel anyone would do.

Re: Option D

[ancient_prophecy]

In my experience, no, most people choose to do terrible things. Often for a million small reasons that seemed great and noble at the time.

::Breaking up some of the larger vegetables for the smaller animals to be easier to digest.::

Doing things like this feels like the rarity. ... But I've probably been in bad places for long too long.

Re: Option D

[voicesofspirits]

I think anyone can make a mistake, or tread that fine boundary between doing something they feel is right, but it not turning out as so.

Life can be confusing and full of a lot of grey areas and no-one is immune to making a terrible mistake, or having something go wrong, no matter what kind of person they are. I think how it's dealt with afterwards is the important part.

I just tend to play things safe a lot of the time. I think most people would find my lifestyle a bit boring, but I guess to someone who's had a lot of bad experiences, I can see how appealing it can be too.

Re: Option D

[ancient_prophecy]

... A lot of bad experiences is putting it very mildly.

::Laughs tiredly, sorting out the food, she's clearly dealt with spirits often.::

Re: Option D

[voicesofspirits]

*Ruka watches her silently for a moment, noting how she really seemed to understand the Spirits, even down to the food. It was a shame that she'd seemingly had experienced hardships in her life, something it was clear she felt bound to and couldn't live a calmer life that she wanted.

Eventually, Ruka reached out and placed a gentle hand on top of Blair's.*

I don't know what you've been through, or what you will go through, but I'm happy to do what I can to help make the pain a little less, even if it's just letting you be here when you need to escape for a bit.

Re: Option D

[ancient_prophecy]

That. Means a lot.

I'll definitely consider it.

::Squeezes your hand a bit.::

Especially if things fall through for me.

Re: Option D

[voicesofspirits]

*Ruka squeezes her hand back reassuringly for a moment, wishing she could do more to help.*

Oh!

*Removing her hand, she delves into her jacket pocket and pulls out a small card.*

And, if you ever need any help outside of office hours then these are my contact details.

Re: Option D

[ancient_prophecy]

Thank you.

::Takes it.::

And here in turn.

::She hands you a small clay tablet with three dimensional Sumerian glyphs.::

I haven't updated mine in a long while...
