[In what spare time she has today, Litchi is getting everything together for her leaving for the war front. Straightening up the house, making a trip to the grocery store so that Tao will have enough to eat without having to steal from others -- hopefully, cooking up as many meatbuns as she can in a couple hours, and finally heading out for a walk after the sun has gone down. None of this is sitting well with her at all, but she's determined not to let anything go wrong this time. She can't afford to let any harm come to those she cares about, and there are plenty of close friends to protect this time around.

It's going to take a ridiculous amount of strength, she knows, but... well, if the limiter on her powers is removed for the battle, she knows she can handle it. So long as she's there, she won't let any harm come to those she's protecting.

She just hopes Lao Jiu is up for this.

At some point during her rushing around, she'll make a note in her journal to try and clear up the one last thing she's worried about.]

Bang? I'm sorry to spring this on you with such short notice, but... could I ask you a favor?

[/Lock]

I think we could stand something of a celebration now that Miss Vermillion has recovered. Would anyone be up to coming over for dinner this weekend? I'll fix up a nice big meal. Any friend of mine or Miss Vermillion is certainly welcome. To be honest, I had planned to invite everyone over on the seventh, but... well, late is better than never, I suppose.

If there's anything specific anyone would like, just let me know and I'll be sure to have it ready for you.

[[ooc: WARNING: If your character does decide to come by for dinner, be forewarned that Litchi WILL be getting tipsy at some point. This means a significant risk of forced cosplay/her playing hairdresser/being completely fixated on eye color/whatever the mun thinks would be funny. :D;;]]

[It's rather obvious, from her weak and wobbly tone, that Litchi has been crying. A lot. It took her up until now to be able to find the words for this, let alone keep her voice steady enough, but here it is...]

Anyone who knew Mr. Goroh... I... I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but... he...

[Her voice cracks, but she's trying to stubborn though this.] He was killed. In the... the fight against Hazama.

I... I'm so sorry.

[Litchi is on a guilt trip today. Any search for Noel has turned up absolutely nothing. She's been avoiding sleep again in favor of both searching in person and keeping an eye on the journals, but, in an all-too-familiar way, her searches are ending up fruitless. It's not just a ruined promise to Ragna that's weighing her down; it's guilt that this is the second person she's cared about and tried to save and utterly failed.

So while she's on her shift at the clinic today, she'll be a little distant, checking back on her journal frequently for any leads. And once she's off work, she'll be out for a walk along the edge of the forest, both to keep an eye out and to try and ease frazzled nerves. After all, it's really looking hopeless at this point. It's been days since she heard or saw a thing, but she also feels like she can't give up just yet.

Feel free to run into her either at the clinic or while she's out walking; she'll be out well past sundown.]

[Early Monday morning, before the rain has really picked up and before the thunder and lightning have started to rage, one Litchi Faye-Ling can be seen sneaking her way from Community Building 2 back towards House 48. It's probably fairly obvious she's suffering from a hangover. But even more obvious is the fact that she's dressed up everyone's favorite vigilante of love and justice and seems to be trying to leech any ninja skills from the outfit to make it back to her house undetected. After all, trying to explain the past 24 hours' events to anyone who wasn't there is definitely not anything she cares to attempt for now.

Of course, she's also placing her hopes in that it'll be too early for anyone else to be out and about quite yet. Hope, hope.

At some point later on, rushing along with an umbrella, she'll be making her way back to CH2, back in her own clothes, to return Bang's clothes to him. Or just leave them on his doorstep with a lengthy apologetic letter taped to them before she tries to make another getaway. She's hoping she can get out of there without being discovered.

Feel free to run into her anywhere along either path, she'll just love the company. Sort of.]

Well, it seems the the space issue has resolved itself. We've found a house that, even if more people from back home do show up, we'll have plenty of room in. [Although it's Tager she's mainly worried about; house or no, he would still take up a huge amount of space.]

Hopefully this will solve our issue with New Feathers appearing in the tub... Although I suppose I'll find out once the incoming numbers pick up again soon.

So, from now on, I'll be living in House 48. I think I might fix up a housewarming dinner later on this week, if anyone is interested.

[Locked to Bang]

[Her tone is pleasant, but there's a slightly dangerous undercurrent to it. Somebody's looking for answers.] Bang? Is there any chance I could speak with you for a moment?

[Anyone on the third or fourth floors of Community Building 2 has a chance of getting a rare glimpse of a Severely Irritated Litchi. She's still sopping wet and fuming after her run-in with Lisa Brilliant, and is making her way back to her own apartment. Rather than heading right in, though, she pauses, trying to calm back down before setting foot inside. Her thoughts, though, are crystal clear and broadcast over the journals:]

[Honestly, how rude! "Nurse Nasty"?! I suppose it stands to reason she would be married to Mr. Goroh with that attitude, but--

A stripper?! Where does she even-- Why would she--

Just calm down, Litchi. Being upset won't change anything. Just make some tea, maybe read a book...

..."Nurse Nasty"?!]

[[ooc: She'll be in the hall for a few minutes before she gets to face her roommates, so feel free to come say hi. :D;;]]

First that boy, then Mr. McDohl, now the professor... the Malnosso really do have an odd sense of humor, don't they?

It's getting a little crowded in this apartment. Strange to think just a couple months ago, it was just me here. It almost seems as if Tao's been here the entire time. And now with three of us... I have to say, I'd love to see Tager and Linhua again, but at this rate, I'm not sure we would have the space. Does anyone know if New Feathers are still coming in?

Which reminds me...

I know this is an incredibly strange request, but -- would either of you mind if Tao and I used your bathtub for a week or so? I'm not sure it would be a good idea to use mine for the time being.

[/Filter]

This place... really is beginning to feel a bit like home.

April first already... how time flies.

( [Private to Self || 75% Locked] )

I apologize if I've worried anyone this past week. [There's a small pause before she continues, her tone softer.] Especially you, Bang. But I'm feeling much better now.

So the battle is starting this weekend, isn't it? [Why is it half the people she knows are drafted?] ...Everyone, please, be careful.

Hopefully this rain will let up...

[Litchi is cooking today. A lot. It's part stress relief, part Welcome Home Tao. She's got far too much pent up negative energy and feels the need to do something with it -- guilt trips built up from Dragobete, worry over everyone heading off to war, anger towards the Malnosso... it all has built up into a need to cook up an obscene amount of food. Not to mention Tao's arrival; with the Kaka girl around again, Litchi has no doubt that every bit of the food she makes will end up eaten.

But even with Tao, there's still far more than necessary. Anyone in or around Community Building 2 is free to come by and find out what's cookin'. There's a ridiculous amount of Chinese food here and it needs eating. ♥]

[Litchi is definitely embarrassed after playing dress-up at the fountain. Especially given she didn't even know one of the victims before. Oops.]

I'd... like to apologize to anyone I pestered the other day. I'm not sure what came over me. If there is anything at all I can do to make it up to you, please, let me know.

And Bang...? You... haven't happened to find my jacket anywhere, have you?

[[ooc: She's already taken by Bang, so no worries on comments. ♥]]

[Litchi's out for another one of her late-night walks. This time, though, she's not on the lookout for kitten-eating bug monsters; she's just out for a stroll. Enjoying the clean air and all. Almost idly, she's looking along the treeline for any bamboo, since it's been a while since she's spoiled Lao Jiu rotten.

As she reaches the bridge leading into the main area of town, she slows to a halt, hugging her coat in closer against her and looking skyward at the last few snowflakes drifting down.]

It really is beautiful here, isn't it, Lao Jiu...?

Mr. Shishigami? I finished those meat buns I promised you. My door's open if you want to come pick them up.

There's some extra if anyone else would like any~ I suppose I'm just used to making more than I need, what with Tao... I'm afraid it'll have to be first come, first served, though.

[It's late at night, and Litchi is out and about. Now that she's done with her work for the day, more or less out of habit, she's out searching the village. It's probably stupid to be out looking for someone who's probably not even in Luceti -- especially someone she's bound to have caught wind of by now -- but old habits die hard. Besides, if he is out there, the village needs protecting.

So here she is, slowly making her way around all of the village, shivering lightly despite her coat, armed with her bo staff just in case. The cold is something of an afterthought. She'll probably regret it later, but she'd rather be chilly for a while and know for sure rather than keep wondering.

Deep down, she's almost hoping not to find anything.]

[[ooc: She'll be pretty much everywhere at some point or another, so feel free to run into her if you want~]]

Thank you everyone for your help when I first arrived. Especially you, Mr. Goroh; if there's anything I can do to thank you, by all means, please let me know.

[There's a slight, thoughtful pause.]

It really has been cold, hasn't it? [Soft sigh.] I wish I had left the clinic with my coat before I was brought here. Although I suppose there really wasn't any way of knowing I'd be needing it.

Speaking of... I understand there's a clinic in the village... There wouldn't happen to be any positions open, would there? If I'm going to be here for a while, I may as well help out as much as possible. Is there a specific person I would need to speak to to work there?

How in the world did I get here...? I couldn't possibly have gotten that far out of the way just on the way back to Orient Town. And with Mrs. Chen's appointment tomorrow, too... This doesn't even look like anywhere around Kagutsuchi that I've ever seen. All these trees... it's beautiful, but I don't think I can afford to just idle around here.

Surely there has to be some way back home...

Hello? Is anybody here? Linhua? Tao? ...Anyone?
