#25 [action/voice] - beginnings
[action]
[Now that it's not freezing anymore, Koakuma has decided to chance it and go for a swim over at the lake. It's still at least somewhat-cold out and she's half-expecting a certain fairy to pop up out of nowhere without a single moment's notice, sure, and she's prepared to deal with all of that, still at least carrying her winter coat with her just in case. But, she really, really wants to be sure she hasn't forgotten how to swim over the course of four months.
She starts with the basics, walking in and wading around before trying to push off...and nearly faceplants for a few attempts before she remembers to adjust for her wings. Even after making adjustments her movements are still a bit jerky and she can never really get herself to go in even a relatively-straight line, but it's better than nothing, she figures. She is out of practice, after all. If anyone else is out by the lake at this time, maybe they could give her some pointers.
This continues for at least a short time, before she's decided that she's had enough and needs to turn her attention to more-important things. On her way back out of the water, she stops. There it was again, the same sound she heard the last few times. Was she still imagining things, or was there actually something out here? Rather than dismiss it as nothing this time, she makes a note to seriously investigate it later; it couldn't just be coincidence that she kept hearing the same thing in the same place multiple times.
For now, though, she has other plans that need to be put into action, and so she picks up her journal to send a short message. The intended recipient would know what it's about.]
[voice; to Adell, 20%]
[Her voice comes across as sounding a bit tired, which is unsurprising considering a few of the events that took place during this past month as well as the fact that she was just out in the water not even ten minutes ago, but at the same time it sounds determined. And maybe slightly distracted.]
Adell, I think I'm ready. What time would be good for you? What place, too? And, um...see if Meiling wants to help.
