► HEROPA | THE BEACH

( it's been a very long time since she's been to a beach, something that had been a bit more special when she'd gone once with billy, making it the only time in the recent centuries that she had. surprisingly, the beach had actually been the reason she'd come to heropa that day, it having been recommended to her. and it would be nice, a change in scenery, somewhere to be alone with her thoughts, to enjoy the day and luckily this day was nice, not too hot, though compared to the temperatures she was used to in england it was already much warmer, hence the simple dress she'd opted for that day.

and she'd brought a picnic with her, having found a little basket in the market one day which had been a nice memory from york, sitting on a blanket on the beach, shoes tucked beside her. she'd brought a book though currently, it sat untouched on the blanket, mrs s. enjoying for the moment simply looking out to the ocean, polite smiles at people that passed by, enjoying the peace of the day )

► ANY CITY | FEYWILDS THINGS

( she was exiting a coffee shop when it happened, take-out cup of coffee between her hands, one that ends up promptly dropped. it's a quick thing that happens, her feet lifting from the ground, seeming almost to levitate for a moment before she steadily raises higher.

it makes her panic, surprised by it, the fact that she's-- flying? it's something that she's done before, had been able to when she had her wings but it was never anything like this, not something that happened accidentally. but then her other angelic power that she'd had returned here also had taken a moment to get used to, to remember her control of. and it's something that she could do here, if she focused, calmed herself she'd be able to land but she's surprised, too surprised and it's that panic that makes her raise higher.

she's still in arms reach enough for someone to grab her, to try and pull her back down (for now) otherwise someone will have to find a more creative way of getting her down -- or hope that she can herself )

► ANY CITY | WILDCARD
Interested in something else? Mrs S. works at Maurtia Falls High School or can be found at H.O.P.E. in Heropa. She can easily be found in a library or cafe, grocery shopping, a bakery, etc etc. Or pm me for some plotting and we can figure something out!

( it's lucky that she's not too high up yet, able to just still reach his hand, trying to take a deeper breath. unhappy thoughts don't quite help her but the contact centers her a little, calming and it helps her to focus -- she knows how to fly which means she knows how to not fly. even if she didn't expect this )

Thank you.

( it takes a moment but with his help and her focus she does come back to the ground )

[He was about ready to summon one of his Samurai to give him a boost, but they just manage to reach each other in time. Still, he doesn't let go once she touches down. What if she starts floating again?]

How long have you been able to do that?

[aeva]

I haven't.

( she hasn't read her file on her powers but it wouldn't be one of them either way. whilst she used to be able to fly with her wings it was very different to this )

It isn't one of my powers.

[pullsheavendown]

...but you're doing it.

[Which. She has clearly noticed.]

Are you sure? Maybe you just didn't know you could do it.

[aeva]

I know, trust me.

( she won't say why she knows but it's a very certain answer.

she pauses, taking a deep breath ) Many powers are will based, this included. If I was doing this--

( she closes her eyes to help her focus, remembering how she used to control her flight, though because she isn't doing this herself it isn't something that her methods help with )

[pullsheavendown]

[He's practically on his toes, ready to jump at the first opportunity.]

Once I visited a world where I could fly, but only if a fairy gave me some of her sparkly dust. Could it be something like that? Not with fairies, but something someone did to you?

[aeva]

Perhaps, if someone's power is capable of that.

( she opens her eyes again, realising that she's not able to affect it )

Hopefully once I'm back on the ground I'll stay on it.
