[ There is a girl in the village plaza who looks rather out of sorts as she sits on the ground, legs out to her sides, in a random sort of spot. She is kind of blank-faced as she stares at the other passers-by, with only a hint of confusion in her brow to betray how she's feeling.

Though it might be hard to see her face clearly under that short cape she's got on. It's black, with silver tassels. And though she's trying to watch what's going on around her, at the same time, it's like she wants to hide. But then, why isn't she moving away?

Maybe it has something to do with the carton of eggs on the ground next to her.

Though it probably has something to do with the fact that she now has white wings for arms. Can't really pick up a carton of eggs when you don't have hands, can you?

So the strange hooded girl with the feathered arms, at a loss, will just sit there for a while trying to figure out what to do.

God help you if you step on her eggs, though.


"'Poor little ugly duckling!" she would say. 'Why are you so different from the others?' And the ugly duckling felt worse than ever. He secretly wept at night. He felt nobody wanted him.

'Nobody loves me, they all tease me! Why am I different from my brothers?'"

(ooc; The Ugly Duckling, everybody. And yes, the pic is just a reference -- her feathers are actually white, not brown, and she's not wearing any other pieces of that costume. Cape, bird arms, and then her normal clothing beneath.)

[ Xion's not the only one with new wings today!

...Sort of. Fenimore might have gotten the outfit and all of the compulsions of Sleeping Beauty Grune's good fairy, but she had thus far failed to get any of the benefits, such as the bug wings capable of flight or any magic to do the job for her. So, to fly about as her instincts are telling her she should, she has had to resort to being carried through the sky by her peepit. While the bird is, by now, nearly as big as she is, it isn't exactly practiced in carrying people and not entirely suited to carrying even someone as small as Fenimore, so it's more like she's leaping from rooftop to rooftop while the bird flaps madly to keep her in the air briefly.

On such an outing, she catches sight of a person in apparant distress -- something her newfound good fairy instincts will not let stand! Unlike how Fenimore might normally act, good fairy Fenimore isn't taken aback by the person with wings for arms. Mystical things are pretty run of the mill. Instead, she chooses to alight beside her to inquire into what is the matter.

Or, at least, that is the plan. But she hasn't gotten the hang of this flying thing yet, so instead swoops overhead, legs kicking madly in a desperate attempt to maintain altitude, before accidentally cannonballing into the fountain.

Whoops. ]
