[Oh Selphie is not happy, not impressed and royally pissed off. She'd planned on cooking a big dinner for Ceodore and everybody and then the porn happened.

Porn.

So sadly, Selphie is a little out of sorts right now and in need of a good talking down. Someone be a dear and help with that? She opens up her journal and snaps the following.]

Boys suck!

The end.

[And then the journal is slammed shut and thrown across the room.]

[Another month in Luceti and here comes another draft. Close quarters combat to boot. This is something that Selphie's got a bit of experience with but she's not really that tactician type which she will be more than happy to leave to those who are better at that thing.]

So, we've got another draft upon us and if it's gonna be in a mine, we're all gonna be in really tight quarters. So I've been thinking since the post went up if we maybe we could split everybody off into groups. There should be a good mix of people who blunt force objects and those who are good with hand-to-hand combat in them. It might be better to capture them than to kill them outright.

So who's good at what exactly? I know we've got a good chunk of mages around here but we've got lots of melee fighters too! Let's just start talking things through so we're not running around like Chocobo's with our heads cut off.

[Action for at the Schoolhouse!

Oh look fellow classmates, it's a chilly December morning and it's a little bit after classes have started and here comes Selphie barrelling down the pathway in vain to make it to classes on time. Honestly, the perky brunette is surprised she hasn't been given detention for the rest of her life because of it. Of course, if you ask her why she's late dear teacher, dear teacher, she just might flush a bright shade and stutter out something about oversleeping for the umpteenth time.

After school it's off to the Battle Dome for some training!

Action around Cloud Nine/Seventh Heaven

The person playing the piano isn't the best player in the world but she's a lot better than she used to be. One thing about being Frederic Chopin's student in piano was that you were guaranteed an excellent, patient teacher. At any rate, Selphie's had permission from Ginia for quite some time to use the piano in Cloud Nine for practicing purposes. Her school bag, nunchaku and training gear are on the floor by the bench of the piano in the club. She warms up with a Minuet in G Major by Haydn before moving onto something a bit more festive in the form of Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy by Tchaikovsky. She'd found the piece in a book in the library and had spent quite a number of hours meticulously transcribing every little note, accidental and nuance of the iconic piece. She hasn't quite mastered Andante non troppo so it sounds choppy to say the least as she frowns at the sheet of music in front of her.

She'll be playing various little songs that she's learned for a good hour or so before packing up her belongings, closing the piano and leaving the night club. First she'll stop in to say to the guys in Seventh Heaven because she spends enough time lately to be known on a first name basis.

Afterwards, it's off to home for the day unless someone happens to stop her along the way. She'll be chipper as ever for many reasons but the cloud of gloom that hangs over the village some days doesn't seem to bother her in the least. She's Selphie for a reason.

Later in the evening, after she's settled down in her favourite chair with a cup of hot chocolate (not the Victorian variety but just as good) she opens her journal to finally deliver some news that she should've said quite some ago but she had to take the time to work it through with herself first.]

I don't think many of you got to know them this time around but Squall, Irvine and Rinoa have been sent home again. It was nice to see them again and if the Malnosso even think of bringing any of them back a third time, I'm blowing them all up to smithereens!

[And this citizens of Luceti is why you should never let Selphie have anything that explodes.]

[It had taken a fair bit of convincing but in the end, Selphie had found herself seated on a high stool in front of the computer for the Battle Dome busily programming in something that would help her get back on her feet. An X-Potion had taken care of the worst of her injuries but it still left her ankle in a state where she couldn't put a lot of weight on it without her having to hop about on one foot which a certain pricely Lucetian who shall remain nameless wouldn't allow in the least.

When she was finished with the computer, an olympic sized swimming pool like the one in Trabia Garden had been programmed and Selphie was happily swimming some strength back into her ankle with the aid of a flutter board. It was the safest way to get some strength back into her ankle without putting any weight on it at all. Really though, it was just nice to be outside of the apartment again for a little bit. She'd never done well with just sitting still and she knew that just resting her ankle wouldn't help it at all.

Eventually though, Selphie's back in the apartment, curled up in an overstuffed easychair with her ankle propped on a foot stool to rest it for awhile. She opens her journal and rests it in her lap before breaking her communication silence as she stares out at the snow flakes that are happily dancing through the air. What she wouldn't give for a cup of hot chocolate at the moment.

She presses the voice button and greets Luceti with every ounce of cheer in her body. Yep, she's in a very good mood today for a few reasons. Two of them happen to be people by the names of Sanji and Allen so congrats lads.]

Isn't the snow lovely? Well... not if you're a New Feather but otherwise, isn't it pretty?

But anyway, that's not my point! If anybody has been wanting a swimming pool for year round use, wait no longer! I programmed one into the Battle Dome computer today and everybody's welcome to use it! There's lots of pool toys in there too so use it a lot during the winter.

Also, it's really good for helping to strengthen up an injury without having to put any weight on it and for Ami's swimming lessons as well. It really is for everyone in the village! The name of the program is Pool so it should be super mega easy to find as well.

And speaking of our New Feathers, how's everybody settling in?

[The Malnosso seemed to have decided to be nice to Selphie for a change.

Kinda.

They drop her off in the village alright but she's banged up and been bitten more than once. Fighting shift hunters for the past few days has been exhausting and they didn't seem to want to let her sleep at all so she while she may be walking of her own power, it's not very well or very fast. There's a limp to her step as well and her arms are crossed over her chest in an attempt to keep some bit of warmth inside.

Her dress is will stained with fresh and dried blood as she eventually sits down somewhere and huddles in on herself for warmth. Seriously Malnosso, would it kill you to send your mallynap victims back with boots in the colder months? At any rate, if someone happens upon her, the perky brunette is pretty banged up. Most of the wounds are pretty fresh and thanks to wandering about barefoot and an attempt at escape from their Lab, there's bruises everywhere along with the odd burn but those wounds are pretty fresh and better cleaned before they get infected.

Are you game to help a gal out, Luceti?]

[ooc note: Selphie's mallynap effect will make her impervious to the effects of any healing magic meaning that she's gonna have to heal the hard way.]

[Selphie's opted to open her journal for one reason only. She woke up to her favourite thing in the world even though she's on her way to school this chilly november morning but regardless, she's opening her journal right when she spots the droids heading in her direction.]

Can't you dimwits leave me the hell alone? I'm not going with you!

[Cue the signs of all the struggle in the world. Nunchaku is a flailing and filial magic is heard. She thought that they were done kidnapping them just as they gain the upper hand on her. Powerful thunder based magic crackles through the air before Selphie's falling to the ground thanks to an unsuspected hit with a tranquilizer dart.]

[Selphie is going to hear about this until the permanent hair dye decides to wash out. Unfortunately, she's also listening to the little devil on her shoulder as she's been busy with an evil prank of a project since early this morning.

See Ceodore, this is what happens when you get mallynapped for a month. Among other things upon your return that won't be mentioned.

You're getting your hair dyed the same shade as the wings you hate and it's going to stay there until you either shave your head or it washes out. So for now, as Ceodore sleeps away, his girlfriend is sitting on his lap washing out the last of the hair dye before she turns on the video feed on her journal.

She shows off the Prince's new hair colour and then flashes to his wings. Afterwards, she's booking it outside to burst into a good gale of laughter despite the chilly air outside. When she finally settles the journal on herself, she's got that impish curl about her lips that everyone in the village would be wise to fear before she's giving the journal a thumbs up.]

So everybody, whatcha think?

[Enough! Enough is enough! There's just too much sadness going around Luceti right now and it doesn't seem to be stopping anytime soon. Selphie feels like she has to do something about it. She doesn't trust her voice right now to say much of anything because the loses have gotten to her as well. Instead, she'll take to the paper in a similar way she did for Archie the other day.

First things, a good three-quarters in taken up solely by brightly coloured pictures. Trains, Sailboats, those red velvet cupcakes they have at the bakery, anything and everything that comes to mind. Then, she pulls out a pen and her bubbly looking penmanship flows over the page.]

I know that we've all been through a lot and we have reasons to hate this place but think about it this way. If we hadn't been brought to Luceti, we wouldn't have met each other. We wouldn't have learned the things that we've learned and we never would've known that our spirit can't be broken no matter what they do to us. It might shake us all up and have us wanting to give up but we can't do that.

As long as we're grateful for the friendships we've forged and the things we've all learned from each other, the Malnosso can never break us. So tell me guys, what's something that you've learned from another person while in Luceti that you would have never learned at home? For example, Sanji taught me how to cook and Giles introduced me to Romeo and Juliet.

So come on! Don't be shy!
♥ Selphie

[Obtained key item: Selphie's journal.

She flicks on the video feed and looks at it with a genuinely curious look on her face. She's out of the loop for good reason but feels compelled to find out just what all she's missed. Forgive her if she seems a little shocked if you tell her something she doesn't know about.]

So... my journal kinda got hidden from me and I just found it today. Kiiiinda makes me wanna get a new one because somebody decided to hide it in his socks.

[She pinches her nose with her thumb and index finger before her face scrunches up.]

I guess there are some advantages to doing the laundry afterall! Well... other than the having clean clothes part but tell me what's going on around the village?

Other than the experiment. I know all about that.

Dear Luceti,

You all are humbly invited to Luceti's next big shindig! The Welcome Centre staff, in cooperation with Mister Frederic Chopin, are going to be hosting a joint party! Not only will it be a New Feather Party but it'll also be a party to celebrate the play that will be performed on Sunday!

PS: I'm the stage manager!

Anyway! The party will be held in the School's Cafeteria with a fantasy theme this Sunday, September 18th following the end of the play! Everybody's welcome to attend and please feel free to bring all of your friends!

That's it for now, Luceti! Hope to see you all there!

Yours truly,
Selphie

[The first thing people might hear coming out of this post is a little bit of humming coming through. It's a very cheerful sort of humming. The kind where the person doing the humming doesn't particularly care about rhythm, key, pitch or melody. Selphie's humming for the sake of humming and her perpetually good mood of the past week.

The morning is early when this post full of sunshine -- literally, she's decorated an entire page with idle doodles.]

Welcome to Luceti, Newbies!!!

This is for all of our New Feathers from this cycle. If you find yourself in need a hand, have some questions or just need a place to crash for the night, feel free to drop by the Welcome Centre. It's manned at all times during the cycles so there's always somebody here to help you out! There's myself -- Selphie's my name -- Rise, Emil, Rydia and Souji! Of course, if there's anyone else who wants to help out, your help is always more than appreciated!

Also, for those who are new, I suggest you take a read through the Guide that Miss Raine Sage has been maintaining. It'll tell you all sorts of things about the Village. Of course, we're a generally friendly bunch -- although we are splattered with a few grumps to level things out -- so don't hesitate to ask for help if you need it!

Thank you everybody! This is Selphie signing off!

Oh wait, wait a second! New Feather Party people! Get in here! We've got a party to start planning!

[ooc edit: If you can see the entry but can't comment to it, shoot me a pm and ask me to add your journal! I have this journal set up so that only people I have marked as a friend can comment to the entries because of the spambots. ^^;;]

[Selphie's been safely returned from the draft despite the fact that the fighting and sudden shift back into the village has taken every ounce of energy she had in her system right back out. She remembers arriving near the fountain and sitting down before passing out. She remembers someone picking her up but not the name of who had done it. She'll see the sandwich on the bedside table and smiles softly at the gesture. Whoever it was, Selphie owes them a world of thanks for their thoughtfulness.

This incident was approximately fourteen hours ago as Selphie sits up far too quick for her sore and protesting body. She falls back into her bed and lays there for a good half hour or so before taking another, slower shot at moving around. She's stiff as a board from the intensity of the mission as she goes through a series of stretches to help releave some of her discomfort. A couple ibuprofen will further help with aches before a shower and the munching of a sandwich is had.

She settles back into bed as she reaches for her journal. She knows that she's tired and overdid it in every way possible but the perky brunette doesn't regret her actions in the least. She doesn't have a clue where Ceodore is but sincerely hopes that he's okay. Between him and Archie, they've given her quite the scare and the look on her face shows it plainly. She doesn't bother hiding it behind a faked smile this time. Selphie doesn't like it in the least but she knows that there's nothing to be done about it.]

So tired... I'll be going back to sleep soon.

Has everybody made it back to the village okay? How're things in the village right now? And... who brought me home? Thank you to whoever you are.

Now then... can somone tell me where Archie, Ceodore and Mister Hornblower have wound up?

And uh... if anybody decides to come calling, you'll have to let yourself in. Community Building 3, first floor, room four. Just... ignore the mess right now.

Right... anywho... time for some more sleep. I'm bushed.

[When the feed flickers to life from Selphie's journal, the first thing anyone will see is her face brimming with satisfaction. She's been busy since late last night and will probably be heading home for a catnap after she makes this announcement as she promised.

She'll spin the journal around to show off the ship she'd managed to create. It's complete with cannons and sails and one might spy a book on boats open on the deck as the feed begins to sway with the flow of the current from the ocean. Eventually, Selphie settles herself back on the deck with a yawn before she beams sunnily at the camera for everyone to see.

The boat is a bit old fashioned looking but the perky brunette is hoping that it'll do the job.]

Well, I've been up most of the night but it's finally done!

This is for all of the draftees or anybody looking to spice up their training regimen. Right now, it's especially directed at those people -- like myself -- who don't have a lot of experience fighting on open water. This is one training simulation as requested by Archie Kennedy during the message from our wonderful commander. [Sarcasm? Selphie Tilmitt? Betray the thought!]

Everyone is more than welcome to use this training simulation to learn how to handle themselves on a boat. It's saved under Selphie05 and everyone is welcome to use it!

[And here comes another yawn.]

Any chance I can borrow a bed in the clinic for a nap?

[After spending most of the day as a small child and after having been put to bed for the night, Selphie wakes up with a start. She feels constricted with the smaller clothing on and claws it before she breathe freely again. She wraps a blanket around herself and goes out in search of a journal or Lucy. She needs clothes. Her clothes. Or clothes that fit so she can sleep comfortably. She'd been running around the village all day and was dead tired because of it.

But first, she has some Navymen to filter some messages to.]

[Filtered to Archie Kennedy - 90% unhackable]

Thank you, Archie.

Filtered to Horatio Hornblower - 90% unhackable]

Anytime you wanna set up those traps to catch Archie, let me know!

[End filters]

So, five days as a little kid... it was fun even if I didn't remember anybody. I do know now though. Also, did anyone manage to successfully a certain special someone of mine from brooding himself into a pit of doom? Alrighty, Luceti. I've been effectively gone for two weeks so what've I missed?

And thanks to everybody who played with me this week! I had a blast but I'm going back to bed.

But... could someone bring me some clothes please?

[So the battle dome was closed for various reasons. This didn't really bother Selphie that much as she backtracks through the village toward the Barracks to go through some of her drills on the practice dummies.

Or that was the plan before she spotted the droids off in the distance. Her journal was back in the house as she took off at a dead run down the pathways that would lead into village. At least if she did end up joining the list of lab rats at the Malnosso labs, she'd make enough for everyone to hear about it. As she neared the fountain and concentrated with all her might on focusing Faeren's magic toward the droids with a bit of success. A small area of the earth around the fountain opens up into a chasm as she tries to drop the droids into the pit but it's not much avail as they easily dodge her attempt.

She would use stocked magic from home if she had any left but for now, she'd loose her nunchaku from its holster and barrage the closest droid to the best of her ability before the trio of robots surround her and take the girl out with ease before she staggers forward into the closest droid from overexertion. Her nunchaku rolls out of her limp hand remains at the edge of the fountain for someone to find.]

To everybody who came out to the birthday party that I didn't know was happening on saturday, thank you so much for making my birthday really special! I really loved that so many people came despite the short notice.

Now then... what else did I to ask. Oh yeah! I got cleared for being in top health last week. That means no more Malaria! So am I allowed to start training again so I'm not all skin and bones and a certain Princely boyfriend of mine will stop worrying so much? I don't plan on going at it full force because even if I could, I'd never hear the end of it.

And finally, if you happen to know about a place called Hawaii, tell me more about it! This is very important research and I don't feel like grabbing a book full of lots of photos! I wanna know what you guys think! So drop me a line or two if you feel like sharing!

[It seems that there's an idiot breaking and entering in Luceti lately.

And it's a New Feather to boot? And somebody who reminds her of Seifer? Oooooh, not so smart. Naturally, this leads Selphie to grabbing her journal and making a sweet little announcement over the journal. She clicks on the video feed and death glares at nothing in general.]

So Luceti, are there any more morons enterting the Village who'd like to break into the house? I've got a fist with you name on it if you try.

Thanks and have a good day!

[Being bad? Definitely. Smiling sweetly for all that it's worth. You have no idea.]

[Three weeks.

Selphie's been following Doctor's Orders. Take it easy, take the medicine and rest. Sleeping and taking medicine were the easy parts. Taking it easy when it was essentially against her nature to sit down. SeeD's were work, work, work all the time and Selphie's boredom was growing with each and every day.

But it was Monday. Monday's meant a trip to the clinic for more blood tests and she was determined to make the walk to the clinic on her own this week. No more of this being treated like a doll unless somebody insists. She's tired of staring at the same set of walls, the same words in the book she's reading. She knows she can't train until it's cleared but she's far from broken. A little worn down but definitely not broken as she slips on a pair of sandals. With a floppy hat on her head, Selphie starts the trek to the clinic.

It'll take her awhile to get there and she'll stop to sit down on the ground a few times but she eventually makes it to the clinic. She'll wait quietly in the waiting room to be called in for her appointment. She has some questions to ask anyway.

Most importantly, what is she allowed to do?

Afterwards, she'll slowly wander back to the house and plop down on the grass under the trees at the side of the house.]

Phew, that was a nice walk. Hey, hey! Don't mind a silly question or two but what's new reading wise at the library? I might get someone to make a book run for me later. You get told to take it easy and you really do read a lot more than you think when you're not taking naps.

And welcome back everybody. It's nice to hear from everyone again.

And now for silly question number two! If you had to choose between a wiffle bat or a foam ball, which would you choose?

[Selphie's starting to get restless. Of course, she knows that Malaria is deadly unless properly taken care of so she's been obedient. She falls asleep more often than staying awake still but her fever has broken. Some of the colour from the blood loss via the shift hunter bites has returned to her skin but she's still pale from being sick. She's been letting the staff draw up more blood from her than she's liked but they've commented about her being such a good sport about it.

Of course... when the next aide comes in intent on drawing another vial of blood for testing, she frowns and has to bite back a comment about telling them where to shove that butterfly needle. They've drawn blood every day that she's been there and there's only so much of that that she can stand. She moves to pull her arms out of reach to earn a stern chiding about being stubborn and eventually is talked into letting them draw more blood.

She'll reach for the book that Rydia brought her intent on reading for a bit but sleep soon claimed her for another few hours early in the morning until late in the afternoon. The staff hadn't bothered to wake her for lunch but there was a plate covered in plastic wrap that had a peeled apple on it. There was a note under the plate that said, eat this when you wake up but she wasn't particularly hungry at the moment. Her appetite may have returned but it still wasn't particularly big. Instead, she reaches for the glass of water that was beside the apple and sips at that instead. She'd the apple eventually but for now, the water was much nicer to have than to eat something when she didn't want to.

Thankfully, they've decided to let her prop one end of the bed up so she doesn't have to force herself to sit up any longer than she has to. She'll reach for the journal eventually despite being told not to use it often but she's lonely and wants someone to talk to. She isn't aware of the experiment going on either as she's been unaffected by it but for now... she wants to have some noise in her otherwise, eerily quiet room.]

Sooooo... what's going on outside of the clinic walls these days? I'd come and look for myself but well... I'm still not allowed out of bed. I just... really wanna go back to the house and sleep in my own bed. Am I even allowed to sit outside if I'm supervised? Just a little bit of time out in the sun?

Or if anybody's got any interesting little stories to tell, I could go for hearing one of those too.

[She sighs a little bit. It's hard to keep on being cheerful when she's not allowed to do anything.]

Frey, you around anywhere?

[Somehow, despite being sick as a dog and stuck in bed at the battle dome clinic, Selphie's wrestled her journal away from people who are more content to have her sleeping the days away. But at least now, she can kind of sit up with the help of another person and a couple pillows. She's determined not to let Malaria keep her down forever and well, despite her voice not being horribly strong, it's still cheerful.

Yeah, the past draft was awful and she didn't even remember getting bitten by any mosquitos but there she was, under the watchful eye of the clinic staff and its volunteers.]

Hey everybody! Uh well... I meant to say something sooner but I've been sick again and stuck in bed and all that but the point of this is to let everybody know that I'm back and I'm still in once piece. I'm just... not allowed out of bed at the moment and I'm probably gonna take another nap after this but I'm not gonna let a bug keep me down and even though the last round of fighting was something short of awful for everybody who went.

What I'm saying is to not let it keep you down in the dumps.

[Don't mind her... she's just gonna yawn here. Her partially recharged batteries just ran out of juice.]

For now... I'm gonna back to sleep.

[If anyone comes to check up on her, Selphie closes her journal before she quickly falls back asleep. The journal slips off the bed and onto the floor.]

[Be warned people of Luceti, you can just hear the sparkles in her voice. OOC signup post is here!]

Good Morning Luceti!

First things first, welcome to all of our New Feathers this cycle. I hope you're all settling in all right. Don't worry about the wings, you'll barely notice them in time. At any rate, this is for all of our Newbies out there! Every cycle, the volunteers at the Welcome Centre host a party for the New Feathers and you're all invited! We hold them near the end of the current cycle.

That being said! I need volunteers! We're having it at a much bigger location this time around and we're going to need all the help we can get with decorating! We've got a super mega special surprise for everybody that Adell's been working super hard on so that leaves us with the decorating and the goodies! If anyone's up for cooking or decorating, let me know here! I'll take all the people I can get because we're holding it at the battle dome this time!

Now, I bet some of you new people are thinking that you can't help at all and I'm telling you all right now that you're more than welcome to help out! The purpose of the New Feather party is not only to welcome our new residents to Luceti but to help everybody get to know each other. Everybody is welcome to help out with the decorating and the cooking. Everyone is welcome!

And while I'm gabbing everybody's ear off, I've started compiling a list of monsters from my world for people to use in the Battle Dome. When I finished compiling the list, I started thinking about adding other world's monsters as well. In training, variety is the spice of life so if you'd like to contribute some monsters to the list, let me know in here as well! Writing them down would be best so I can get the correct spelling. It'll make them easier to find in the database, trust me!

Rise will have more information for everybody in the near future so keep your eyes peeled for it!

Thanks Luceti! This is SeeD Selphie Tilmitt signing off!

[ooc: This is in relation to Yuri asking for different types of monsters to fight in the Battle Dome. Please leave links to bestiary's if your canon has one online! ^_^!

Also! I'm still tagging this thread if anyone still wants to tag it!]

[The dream starts out plain enough. Selphie’s wandering through a large field of wildflowers. The sun is shining and there’s a gentle breeze blowing the sweet smell of flowers and petals toward her. Something about this field of flowers is familiar, yet unfamiliar at the same time thanks to the Malnosso’s tampering. Small plumes of dandelion puffs take flight as she brushes past a bouquet of weeds. Regardless, she takes a few steps forward before the dream changes.

Now she’s standing in a hallway with students in school uniforms milling around her. These uniforms, like the field before her bring out a sense of familiarity as the perky brunette opts for shrugging this off. There’s no way that this is real, she’s thinking. She’s lived in Luceti her entire life, raised by loving parents. Looking down, Selphie’s wearing the same uniform as the rest of the students before she sees the faces of friends that she can’t quite put a name to the face of. She spots Irvine in the hall and stares at him in confusion when he tilts his hat to her. Zell comes next with an enthusiastic wave followed by Quistis, Squall and Rinoa.

Who are these people; she’s wondering as she steps forward again and the scene changes.

Now Selphie is being engulfed in flames as she immediately wakes up. Sitting bolt-upright in bed with a startled cry, she wraps her arms around herself protectively. What was that, she’s wondering before she slips out of bed and gets dressed. The rush of adrenaline the last fragment of her dream gave her means she won’t be getting back to sleep anytime soon. Grabbing her nunchaku, the perky brunette has slipped into her training clothes and heads for the Battle Dome to work through it in quiet. She doesn’t want to worry her family as she slips into her training boots and leaves her home quietly.

Or she’d try to anyway. In the process, she knocks open the journal as she starts talking to herself in a soft tone.]

What a weird dream...

[Something's just not right in the house when Selphie wakes up. There aren't any arms folding her into a warm embrace that she has to worm out of and the other half of the bed and decidedly cold. Ceodore's the late riser of the two of them unless he's plotting something and even then, he would've tucked the blankets around her. Instead, her back is exposed as she rolls over to discover the mess that their room has become. She's sitting up immediately and sees the broken window and his sword and armor knocked over and scattered across the floor amidst crushed glass.

She's gotten too soft in the place as a remarkably bitter expression plants itself on Selphie's usually smiling face for several minutes. Her hands are instinctively wrapping around a teddy as she hugs it tightly to herself. Why hadn't she woken up? The sounds of the droids breaking and entering into their room usually would've had her awake in an instant as she falls into a small pit of regret. She should've been able to stop this. She could've helped him, protected him. Like she'd made him promise all those months ago.

We protect each other.

And now he's not here and she's feeling a bit lost. Had any of the others heard anything? She can't just assume that it's the Malnosso up to their old tricks but it's really the most logical decision but Selphie's refusing to believe it. The destruction of their bedroom is enough of an indication but she has to make sure as she reaches for the clothes she'd laid out the night before to get ready to face the day. With that done, her nunchaku is gripped with a white-knuckled grip and her journal is in the other. She steps through the mess and doesn't even wince as she feels glass shards biting into the skin of her feet before she's hobbling upstairs to bother her housemates.

Eventually though, she opens the journal and puts out a general query to the people of Luceti. But not before she looks down and sees the damage that she's done to her feet. Nevermind the fact that she could use Nala's magic to heal herself but she's got some lovely glass in her feet and she's not prepared to pull it out.]

Has anybody seen Ceodore today? He's been a puppy for the past few days but he hasn't left my side and he's always the last one in the house up. So if anybody's seen him, could you let me know? He didn't leave a note or anything and it's not like him to... wait it is...

Ceodore if you're listening, please tell me you're all right?
