► 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!

Comments

[anathemic]

"I'm told it's practically a prerequisite to exist here." A twinkle in her eye, picking up on the teasing and volleying it right back. "There's the fancy codenames and everything. Do you have one? I never bothered."

[aeva]

"No, though I didn't realise that was something people did."

She'd never asked anyone for it though also never heard anyone introduce themselves with such a name.

"Is it really so common?"

[anathemic]

"I suspect it's mostly a formality, for many. A name to put on the government form and then largely forget about, and never use. But other people do use it— they'll be members of various teams of heroes, and you'll see the news using their codenames a lot."

A shrug of her shoulder, readjusting her satchel on her shoulder. "I'm not one of them, clearly."

[aeva]

"I suppose how you use your powers might lead to that." She tilts her head to the side slightly, thinking on it.

"Even if I was someone who wanted to be a hero my powers aren't ones that would lend to that." They could but not so effectively as others. Hers are much more low-key, exactly as she likes her life.

poss yours to wrap? :>

"They look like they're not very good at getting you down out of the skies, at least," Anathema says, her voice as loose and casual as if she was remarking oh those tires aren't very good for off-road biking, are they. "My girlfriend flies pretty much everywhere, so I'm used to people disappearing off into the skies, at least."

Then she looks over the other woman, sizes up the smashed paper cup on the ground, the sad little puddle around it.

"Looks like you dropped your coffee in all the excitement. Want to go grab another? I was just on my way in."

ties a bow on it

[aeva]

"I'd like that."

She smiles again, a hand out in gesture to indicate back towards the shop.

"I'll get yours as thanks for rescuing me."
