[ Waking up in a forest in a white sundress when it's cold and snowing is no fun at all, especially when she is dead certain she's not supposed to be here at all. She's clutching the journal she found to her chest as she makes her slow way through the trees, shivering violently. Every so often she stops and sets the journal down so she can cast a Fire spell to try and warm her hands a bit. She's desperate to find some shelter, anywhere she can get out of this cold and just have a moment to think through what the heck is happening here.

But she has no idea where she's going, and finally she stops, letting a few particularly hard shivers pass before she looks down at the journal in her arms. Her musings are a little muddled by her teeth chattering, yes. ]

I don't understand... I'm n-n-not supposed to be here, and I don't even know what happened to my clothes, or what this little book is for.

[ And she glances over her shoulder, frowning softly. ]

And I've g-g-got these wings ... last time I checked, I definitely didn't have wings.

[ Heaving a sigh, she hugs the journal close to her chest again, and rubs a hand up and down one arm, staring at the sky. ]

W-W-What's going on...?

(ooc; I tried, but alas. spoilers abound in comments!)

Can it do anything else? I don't want to be surprised if it suddenly grows wings of its own and flies off! [ a small laugh ]

I have yet to hear of such a thing happening, but given previous experiments, I would not be at all surprised if that were to occur someday.

If it was going to happen to anyone, it would happen to me! [ she's still laughing, though. ]

What's your name? I'm Xion.

[Voice]

[lezareno_prez]

Regal Bryant. It's a pleasure to meet you, Xion.

[The laughter is a good sign; most New Feathers are confused and/or scared when they arrive.]

Are you able to see the village from where you are?

It's nice to meet you too!

[ she definitely sounds cheerful. It helps that her friends got to her in the intervening time. ]

No, I'm still pretty lost. But I've got a friend coming to find me, so I'm just trying to stay warm while I wait.

Good, it is always easier to have people you know here, although I think you'll find that the other residents are all quite kind as well. It is almost surprising in that sense.
