My word, it certainly has been an interesting month, hasn't it? And now we're due for a new set of New Feathers to arrive. Time really does fly...

To anyone who has just arrived here, welcome to Luceti. If any of you need any help settling in at all, please don't hesitate to ask. I'd be more than happy to lend a hand wherever possible. Even if you just need a bite to eat, believe me, there's more than enough to spare.

Speaking of that, though... if any of you are ever in need of any medical assistance, please don't hesitate to visit one of the clinics. We have one in the Battle Dome and one in the center of town. [And here her tone takes on a hint of teasing:] I promise we won't bite. We're here to help.

Now, then... Tao? If you can hear this, I think I owe you some time to "play." Don't keep me waiting, hm~?

[And true to her word, she'll be out in front of House 48 to wait on Tao for a sparring match. She's way out of practice and the cat needs to get it out of her system from time to time, after all. Anybody passing by later may want to watch out for a bo staff, flames, and cat claws. ~~They're just playing, I swear.~~]

[Anybody walking past House 48 today is bound to smell the aroma of cookies. Tons of them. Litchi went a little overboard in preparing some holiday food - as per usual, since the woman never cooks in anything less than army proportions. The house itself is decorated rather nicely; lights, garland, mistletoe, holly, you name it, it's probably strung up somewhere. This may not be a holiday Litchi usually celebrates, but dammit if she's not getting into it anyway. She has her "family" to celebrate with and that's all that really matters.

But there's still the problem of just how many cookies she has here. There's definitely way too much for just her and Tsubaki and Thirteen... and although she knows Tao could eat all of them, she doesn't want to let the catgirl eat too much. And so, a very cheerful Litchi puts a call out over the journals:]

[Voice]

Would anybody like some cookies? I think I made a bit too much, and there's certainly more than enough to go around. If anybody would like some, just let me know and I can bring them by.

The snow really is beautiful today, isn't it...? Just be sure to keep warm, everyone. I'd hate for anyone to fall ill with all the festivities going on.

[[ooc: Anyone is welcome to cookies! Feel free to either come knocking on the door of the house or just ask even if Litchi doesn't know your character. :D Also, she has presents for friends. Go nuts!]]

[Litchi is taking a rare day off from the clinic. Only it's not even really a full day; she's just stepping out for a while for some fresh air and a chance to actually check in on her housemates. Watching diligently over Tsubaki is still her top priority, of course, but she needs just a short break from the clinic.

So it's a quick trip back to House 48 first to look in on Tao and Thirteen and possibly get a bath. And some tea. It's been far too long since she was home long enough to really have a chance to sit with her "family" for a while.

Then from there, she'll be heading off to the library to grab some new reading material. There are several things she's been meaning to do some research on, and it's about time she got around to it. She'll be at the library for a few hours before heading back, pausing only to make a note in her journal:]

[Written | Locked 100% to McCoy and Kamui]

Could I speak with you two for a moment when I get back? Something has been brought to my attention that I think both of you need to be aware of as well.

( TL;DR Action goes in here! )

[And later on, once she's had a chance to get her bearings, Litchi makes a note in her journal. Her handwriting is much sloppier than it usually is, but she really couldn't trust herself to make it through with a steady voice, so... written it is.]

Everyone... I don't think I can ever apologize enough for what happened. I never meant for it to go so far.

I can promise that it will never happen again.

i'm so sorry.

[[ooc: She's waking up in Thirteen's bed, but after that, action threads for House 48 are a-okay. ♥]]

( Cut for major CS spoilers and length ;; )

[[ooc: The thread with Noel will chronologically come last. ♥ Litchi will not be available after that thread. Beforehand, though, feel free to run into her anywhere along the path from Community Building 2 to House 48.

Also, I gotta leave for work pretty soon, but I will tag when I'm home. ;;]]

[After a couple days of absence, Litchi is back from her short trip home. And, as always with her, it's a bath tub that she's landed in. One Yellow Thirteen's bath tub, to be precise. And she's not in the best shape.

Resounding not only through the apartment, but over the journals, is the sound of the tub cracking as if under a tremendous amount of pressure. Litchi lets out a pained whimper, curling into a ball as best she can despite one arm being tangled in the shower curtain.

The Boundary has cut loose. And Litchi is absolutely terrified.

The journal picks up another quiet groan before she falls silent.]

[[ooc: Backdated to a couple hours before the earthquake! ~~Also, sorry for unannounced disappearance for the update ;;~~]]

[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.

Hm... to anyone who knew Professor Kokonoe, it seems she's gone home. I'm certain this is better in the long run; after all, she never did like being away from her lab.

It was nice to see her again, though... It's a bit of a shame, but I suppose there's no helping it.

This house seems so quiet now... although I'm sure that won't last.

[Locked to Friends -- 99.5% Unhackable]

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...

[Filtered to Goroh and Bang | 90% locked]

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. ♥]
