Third Star || Video/Action for the Arena (Day 54)

[starryguyed]

[ so the past few days have royally sucked, and Tsukiko's finally been given a reprieve from healing to catch her breath, recuperate--

... hahahaha like she would just sit quietly. ]

Is everyone doing better? If you're still recovering in the hospital, I can come down and help things along. It was mostly paperwork in the clinic today, too.

Ah-- that's right. And there are still so many arrivals... um, hello! My name is Tsukiko Yahisa. I'm a healer in Sigyn, and if you're new to your power, I should be able to help. Please let me know if you need me for anything.

[ okay, so maybe her smile's a little tired, but she's at least trying to keep her spirits up, though it falters in the next minute. ]

Also, if... anyone's heard anything about Ririchiyo-chan, I'd appreciate any news.

[ a pause. Oh, there's the smile again. ]

In the meantime, I think I'm going to make use of this. At this rate, I won't be able to catch up with the others!

[ and she lifts a giant bow - the kind used in Japanese archery - giving her viewers a polite nod before the feed ends. You can find her in Thor District's Arena on an open range, dressed in archery gear and concentrating on drawing her bow and shooting her targets. After a few initial shots, she seems to settle into a better sense of aim and concentration. Approach? ]

The last I saw... She had been stabbed. I take it that it's the same for you, and you haven't managed to locate her that day, either.

[starryguyed]

That's right... I tried looking for her, but there was so much going on...

[histories]

It's worrying... If you do get any news about the child, perhaps you would be kind enough to pass it on?

[starryguyed]

Of course! She probably has a lot of people worried about her.

[histories]

[a nod] Thank you.

Have you been well?

[starryguyed]

Yes. I've been staying as busy as I can.

[histories]

I see that! You don't look like a complete beginner at that, either.

[starryguyed]

I've had some time to practice.

[histories]

[a nod] It helps to be able to assist from afar as the situation demands, even as a healer.

I've had some practice with a bow from a long time back too, but I'm afraid what skills I might have before might be practically nonexistent by this time. [so it's swords for her nowadays, ahaha]

[starryguyed]

From a long time back?

[histories]

I believe it has been at least ten years since I last touched a bow.

[starryguyed]

You really don't look that old to start with... did you learn it young, then?

[histories]

Ah! I haven't told you yet, have I? I'm actually [insert 2XX age here, approx 254 maybe?] years of age and counting.

[starryguyed]

... Eh?

[histories]

It's... a little hard to believe given my appearance, isn't it? [nervous laughter goes here, ah... Hahaha...]

[starryguyed]

A-a little... you look very good for your age...

[histories]

A-Ah... Thank you. [weird nervous smile here. it's been a while since she's met someone that doesn't know of her true nature, and after spending a month here it's still fairly awkward...]

[starryguyed]

Um... Keine-san... then you are...

[histories]

Ah, yes. I had been part youkai before I arrived here, you see - but I am just as human as you are now.

[starryguyed]

Youkai...

[ she's... trying to envision this here. ]

[histories]

Oh, I don't look any different than I am now, usually! It's just that, when the full moon hangs in the sky, some aspects of my physical form would change. [like the growing of horns, extra sets of eyes on her back, a tail, and that her hair turns green...]

[starryguyed]

But not really a full transformation... it sounds complicated.

[histories]

I suppose it is complicated indeed! It's just that I wouldn't normally think about it much. So much to do, after all.
