Working out of the doldrums

[imaglyphwitch]

Who: Luz and various, depending on the heading
What: Finding ways to keep herself busy!
When: November
Where: Disaster House/Farther Shores



A) Scars (in and around the disaster house)

This had been hard for the days after the second capture: sleeping on her back was a no-no, and anyone who'd heard her during the night knew that she was feeling pretty uncomfortable, so there was definitely no sleeping on the floor: the bed was a must. After that though, there was no more sleeping.

Because, well, nightmares tended to claim Luz's thoughts. It was bad enough when they were about the dark warehouse but then they started mingling with the cave and the mountain men and now Luz's dreams were pretty much built around being a snack while being bled dry. So if you weren't actually in the Disaster House you might see Luz up on the porch, a drink in her hand and eyebags for days.

What a time to be alive.

B) A-boat scavenging we go! (OTA)



Look, it's been a hard week, and Luz can't just stay in her house going crazy, no matter what her body might say! So Luz is bundled up pretty tight, bag on her back, and is already gone from the house to start looking over some of the boats in this newest arrival of Sleepers. If you were also looking to search through the boats you might find a rather chipper Luz, who's managed to extract a few rare goods from one or two boats.

"Hey, give me a hand! Maybe we can find some stuff easily, together!"

C) And then there's a time for fighting. (OTA)

So much for a peaceful search! Not that Luz thought it was going to stay peaceful in the first place, but she had definitely been hoping she wouldn't be thrown into the scary, violent side of things until a little later! But nope, there was literally evil blood coming from the ground, and Luz's glyphs, while effective, definitely was not going to be able to hold against ALL these enemies.

She could definitely use some help.

Of course not. We're friends.

And you would do the same for me.

[imaglyphwitch]

[That was sure comforting. Luz gave Ahiru a big smile, and gave her shoulder a pat].

I would, honestly. The last thing I'd want would be what happened to me to have happened to you. Truthfully, I'm not someone that can just BE alone.

[danserai]

Then you shouldn't be.

We can have a little sleepover! Get some hot cocoa, listen to music uhmmm read some books?

[ she did that a few times with pique and lillie. ]

[imaglyphwitch]

[Man, Luz has been having quite a few sleepovers! Granted, she could actually sleep in the last ones, and this one has made that a little difficult].

I can probably do without the book part! I do that enough during the day! Besides, it's a sleepover, if we read anything it should be magazines and stuff, right?

[At least some of herself was starting to feel a little familiar]!

[danserai]

Sure?

I don't know what a magazine is.

[imaglyphwitch]

You know what? It doesn't matter. There aren't any magazines in his world anyway last I checked. A sleepover could be fun though!

[Anything to get her out of this funk, honestly].

You at least know what a movie is, right?

[danserai]

. . . No.

haha, these reactions

[imaglyphwitch]

[Always, always with these guys].

Heh, ok! In that case, I can show you that some other time. We really do need to take you down to Jennifer's sometime soon anyway. You'll love it!

[Ok, Luz was actually getting good and distracted from some of her troubles, so. Good]!

In the meantime. Snacks. Check. You have pajamas at least, right?

[danserai]

Mmm, I still have the ones you gave me.

[imaglyphwitch]

Great! They should keep you safe from bad dreams too!
What are sleepovers like in your world?

[danserai]

They're nothing special. We usually just spent time together, look at books . . . ballet shoes . . .

[ talk about ahiru's failure of a love life but she's not mentioning that. ]

[imaglyphwitch]

Ballet shoes? I didn't know that was a thing. I could give that a try.

[Oh, they'd be getting to THAT, that was for sure, although Luz wouldn't begrudge Ahiru too much there. She was slightly older and had NO love life to speak of.

[danserai]

I don't know how much fun that is . . . so your sleepovers are probably more fun for sure.

[imaglyphwitch]

Hey, there is plenty of room for new sleepover traditions! I'd love to incorporate some of the things you'd like too!

[danserai]

I haven't done that many . . . but I think hot cocoa and whatever else you have is a good place to start.

[imaglyphwitch]

Yeah! Also, if you want, we can start getting an idea about what you might want to add in your room! I know you liked to keep things simple, but a few things might really liven things up!

[danserai]

Mmm, that does sound really nice. I would like to decorate my room.

[imaglyphwitch]

Did you think you had a motif in mind? Oh! Did you want me to paint a picture for you, like Luca?

[danserai]

Maybe something with birds?

Or famous ballet posters? Pique puts a lot of those in her room.

[imaglyphwitch]

Birds? Heh, as someone who can turn into one, I can relate!

Ooh, ok! I can look them up, or recreate a pose or something if you like!

[danserai]

You can turn into a bird? With . . . magic?

[imaglyphwitch]

Does a magic hat count?
