_____Alice had not logged onto the game in some time, her doctors not taking so kindly to the girl skipping her medicine and meals when she needed them in her current state. It was hard for Alice to explain anything to them, she felt more alive in the game then outside in her vacuum sealed room at the hospital. But as the girl rested her back against blades of grass that tickled her face she felt relief to have her dive gear back. Her small bubble fish also happy to see her as it swam around the faerin and splashed her with small drops of water to draw her focus. _____Golden blonde hair rose along with her head and still reached the grass as she sat reaching for the fish to pet it happily. Alice enjoyed the silence as she closed her sky blue eyes and let the other senses submerge her in the hidden grove. This was where she always logged off, a nice quiet place away from people she still could not adjust to seeing. All her life was the same faces of doctors or parents, and not being able to speak made it so much harder to connect with anyone. _____Her expression grew slightly heavy with sadness as her bubble fish splashed her with more water to make her smile and stand up calmly. Her white dress waving in the wind while her rusted dagger rested calmly at her waistline. She never used it, mostly because to her it felt heavy and almost like a sword in her small frame’s hands. Opening her eyes and waving her hands around the grass began to slightly grow around her. Naturemancy, her personal favorite magic since this place felt like home to her despite never seeing it with her own eyes. _____Tapping her fingers together lightly she looked around at the trees that tightly encircled her small clearing. Some had not been there before, but she was happy to have grown them to make this place her own. Bare feet moved out from the grass as she ran around the clearing, her bubble fish chasing her as the two enjoyed the calm morning without any plans or obligations to attend for some time. Alice was going to try to dance again, though for now she needed to stretch. Eyes filled with life and smile that glowed with care, Alice returned.
Magi was again in Brisshal. It was a good place to practice and basically... it was the only place she really could handle the majority of at the moment. She did go to other areas in Falderen and Astorea but it really was restricted to just the simpler places. Her aim was getting better but it was not very fun to get chased by giant killer boars. So it definitely was not the best idea to shoot a dragon or something. Wendy had become less bothered of shooting the weaker beasts, because she needed to improve and each shot was another point. Luckily she had found a way to kind of make it less bad on the forest critters. She hadn't thought of it before but she had healing magic. So she would shoot a deer or rabbit, and do her best to heal them afterward. It was something that may be seen as terrible to other people but she had to do something to let her keep training. Of course she did not shoot them again after healing their wound. Magi would do her healing from a distance and they would run away in confusion afterward. Magi Heart dropped out of a tree onto her feet. Her knees buckled some but she at least did not fall on her butt this time. Getting better Magi! Maybe there was hope to being the best magical girl ever! Magi's stomach grumbled loudly. Oh, looks like it's time for a snack! Wendy did appreciate how she could eat candy here without any issues. Candy also always made her feel better. At least while she was eating it. She pulled a bag of good stuff she got from a local village and started to shuffle through the bag looking for a good one. As she did so she walked onwards not looking where she was going. BAM! Magi grabbed her head that was knelt forward over the bag and had rammed right into a tree. Ouch, urgh. Magi looked around and realized she was now in a forest clearing.... and it was really pretty. Flowers were everywhere! Oh wow. This was so different than the mean and dark places that were becoming the norm here. She held a pixy stick between her teeth as she put the bag back onto her belt. She never completely put it away! That would make grabbing a sweet take too long. The magical girl wannabe smiled as she fell into the flowers and tried to pick one to smell. It had been awhile since she did something like this. Even in her own backyard. Sigh, life was good when adults did not make it complicated with wars and stuff. If everyone just stopped to smell the flowers instead of siege castles that would be a great step towards accepting love and justice into their hearts. Looking back up from the flower but not getting off of her knees. Magi saw another girl dancing, or trying to dance, through the grove here. Oh... maybe there was a village nearby? Or was this a fairy? Fairies! Oh please be a big fairy! Hmmm were fairy's capable of being that big? In some anime's they could do that. She watched with a smile on her face and started to suck up the sugar from the pixy stick. Candy and flowers and fairies? This was the best day she had in Terrasphere since she first logged in 2-3 month's ago! Why couldn't the entire game just be this? The urge to run up and try to talk to the firiy was strong but Wendy did not want to chase her away. @Alice
_____Alice would slowly turn her trips around the circle grove into a spiral towards the center, As she once more reached the center of her circle she spun lightly on her left foot, twirling faintly as the entire grove began to wave, the grass pushing out in ripples, all leaning away from Alice, the trees very slowly growing taller and moving to dome the area just a bit more. Roots pushing through the ground below to adjust to their new larger selves before Alice started to wobble. _____Her frame teetering for a bit before she started to go down. Her bubble fish moved to try and soften her land with some water if she got to close to the ground leaving Alice with drenched hair and some tears in her eyes. She really was no good at dancing or much of anything. Sitting in the center of the area she looked around carefully, at least the grove got to grow some before she failed it once again. _____Her gaze moving to her bubble fish as she reached into the bubble to pet it slightly. Her expression was heavy with sorrow as her companion just drifted to hover over her lap and looked at her with a silly tip of his head. Alice herself cracking a faint smile before looking to the sky and allowing herself to fall back into the grass. ‘It’s better that I just stop trying with my hopes up… clearly I’m still clumsy foot…’ Her thoughts dragging her down more as she seemed to sink deeper into the grass. Reality however, her hand kept opening her spell UI and casting growth on the grass around her.
After a bit more time watching the fairy. Magi saw the grass slowly growing around the girl and her floating little creature. It.... was a Pokemon? Or something like that. Magi finished off another pixy stick before getting up off the grass. The magical girl was a bit nervous, would a fairy run away? She was not a player right? The players just ran around taking quests and fighting stuff, and each other. So yeah, this person seemed so at peace. It was nice. Magi wanted everyone to be happy too. Magi decided to get closer and was now only a few feet away. "Ummm.... hi." Magi really hoped the fairy girl would not run away. Looking closer, it was obvious this fairy had no wings of any kind. Maybe she was not a fairy but still was a really neat NPC! Magi would speak mostly without much hesitation now. Her traumas not impacting her as much in this therapeutic environment. "I'm Magi Heart! ....I 'm a magical girl that defends love and justice.... and brings it to everyone I can!" Magi quickly performed her practiced pose. Then her eyes widened as she worried about the scaring the girl away. "Oh wait... please don't run! I won't hurt to disturb you.... I promise!" After having already hurt people she did not want to hurt in the siege. Magi really hoped those words even mattered. @Alice
_____At the first comment Alice jumped slightly crawling away from the sound before she poked her head out of the grass and her bubble fish swam around to stay behind the Faerin carefully watching the girl like Alice was. However as the girl struck the pose Alice’s face lightened up before she jumped up and ran over to the girl and tried to mirror her pose, sadly Alice tripped on her own footing and fell backwards laughing. ‘Hello @Magi Heart ’ _____Alice waved her hands to try and further her sign language. ‘I always wanted to meet a magic girl, I had a phase where I tried to be one for some time.’ Though likely her hand motions looked like random things to the girl unless she knew sign language, it would take Alice some time to notice that and she blushed before stepping back and using her UI to stop auto casting spells. _____Slowly pollen and fallen leafs moved to form her words before they blew away and Alice smiled happily. Waving her hands to make more drift over to spell out her name ‘Alice’ and then reached out to offer a handshake. There was little fear in her as she looked more in admiration at the girl who was trying to do something she never had the guts to dress up like. Her bubble fish splashing water trying to copy Alice’s trick with her naturemancy to spell his name out.
