Of Wind and Whimsy (Recruitment)

[Nursery Rhyme]

Our scene opens in the midst of ruffling leaves as two tail-like braids waggle, ribbons and all, to the rhythm of the girl’s wiggling bottom which pushes through at last with a ‘fwhomph’ a head sporting a pair of eager eyes now gazing in penetration of the shrubbery wall of Westminster Abbey. The girl had found the garden. Or at least, what was likely intended to be the garden, had it not now been claimed by legion of weeds. With a snort of contentment, the tiny arms pull their slim master’s body through. Nu is pleased, her clothes reflect their craftsmanship: no worse for wear ignoring maybe some passenger leaves stuck here or there, and even better still, not a single stain to boot.

It is early morning. Nu has always been in the habit of rising with the sun. Breathing deep the morning air, she rights herself by standing and brushing herself off.

“How nice…” She yawned. “And everyone else will be fast asleep too, I can work in peace to my heart’s content.”

Nu equipped her Gardener’s Kit. Often, from just over yonder across the little plain, Nu liked to practice her tailoring. There, under what she decided was her tree overlooking the abbey, the girl whittled away her time in lazy frustration. Rarely, did her over-reaching designs come out at all like she hoped. Sick of failure, and making the excuse of wanting better scenery to help concentrate, the self-assertive woman ‘trapped’ in a girl’s body had gotten into her head to try her other profession.

“It’d be nice to look at flowers… instead of all these weeds. It might even be –fun- to have a garden…”
Nu nodded in agreement to her own words, it was her own little unsubtle form of vanity.

“Yes, I’ll make it my own special place.” Nu was especially fond of the gazebo in this worn-upon garden, it had just a quaint enough quality to it, that she assumed that if she claimed it, she wouldn’t be wanting for a home.

“Fresh air and the quiet breeze hmhm~”

Getting into the full swing of her mood, Nu swiped the sickle and watched her target fall by the wayside.
“Hoho?” It was easier than expected. She continued and in a few swipes more had more or less cleared a small circle around herself. The new fresh grass below was a beautiful emerald green. Mixed among it were little white flowers. Stooping down, Nu picked a four leaf clover and placed it on her hat. She was humming in spite of herself.

At her own pace without really realizing it, Nu began to adapt words to her appropriated tune:

Born of warm and dusty air
And Texan rain com~bin~ing~
This oppressive force both foul and fair
Has a frontier heart worth mining~!

Cut through the heart: shorn and shear
Strike for love and strike for fear
See the beauty bloom and beer!
Slice the way to part~
And beware ~my~gol~den hearrrt!

With a final exaggerated swing, Nu fell on the freshly fluffy grass. She had made good progress if only on this little courtyard’s ground level. There were still the hedges, leaves, trees, and of course flowers that needed tending. But lying on her back, Nu closed her eyes and seemingly, like her new plant brethren, absorbed the sun’s early morning gentle rays. The unassuming would-be squatter at this moment hadn't the least of cares.

[Nisha]

Nisha was sleeping peacefully in a tree just a bit outside of the garden. The roof had been slick with dew so she had vacated it to sleep here this time around, her ears perking up as she heard footsteps below and then someone speaking. Mumbling something in her sleep akin to the well used phrase 'only 5 more minutes' or such classics as 'I do not have childhood friends, so I do not want no romance plot'. Saying as much, she did really want no romance plot and definitely to sleep a little longer, but it was getting increasingly difficult. Sometimes she wondered why the hell she had picked a skill that gave her a higher audio sense. She was able to hear even quiet footsteps quite well and as she heard a voice saying all kind of cute stuff, her tails began to wag, not only because the words were cute but because there was recognition. Well, last time one of them had been drunk and they had been off to a nightly adventure... not that kind but definitely an exciting kind. A whimper on Nisha´s face came to life as her eyelid fluttered and she blinked away some sleep.

Suddenly someone had started to sing and the words even though well meant had disturbed her little dream which had derailed into a full out battle with weeds in the end that was on the epic level at the same range as the battle for rohan´s survival. Her other eyelid came to life as well as he eye lazily scanned the area for whoever was making noises. A name coming to her sleep addled mind that she could not yet fully grasp and as she figured out that she had to move her head to see anything but leaves and the sky that was slowly changing color, she silently moaned as her neck relaxed from it´s position and tilted to the side. Seeing a face full of fur at first, her tails swinging in front of it, but with a little will power she finally saw a figure. Nu, huh? Shrugging off some more sleep, she slowly raised herself on the branch, her tails clinging to it as well for some more support. Swinging her legs in the rhythm of the song she had just heard, she slid down the tree and felt her feet on the ground, nearly glad to feel her feet again... Just that apparently they had decided to doze off and Nisha had forgotten to wake them up as she usually did.

Suddenly she stumbled on weak legs toward where she had wanted to go anyway but could not find the brakes as she said: "Whoops, slippery slope." And fell straight on top of Nu, who had closed her eyes and could not see Nisha´s face as she tried to stop herself, but before she knew it, she sat on top of Nu with wobbly legs and looked down at the girls face, whose attention she now most likely had. "Well, this was faster than I anticipated, but hi Nu, nice to see you again. How are you? Nice song." Nisha asked quickly so that Nu would not have the time to ask for Nisha to stand up right away, since Nisha most likely... couldn´t, her legs were jelly right now and felt more like a nest of bees swarming inside of them. But she could not massage them as well, since her body was leaned a bit to the front to prevent a cramp or something that damn well felt like it from happening and her hands were tied up to being placed closed to Nu´s head for support. Smiling shakily, she waited for Nu to speak since even speaking was a bit difficult, huge yawns being suppressed right this moment, which would make this all the more weird.

[Nursery Rhyme]

“Gurkfu~!”

Without really thinking about it, Nu was trying her hardest to remember the last time she had ever had the wind completely knocked out of her. 2 seconds ago was a start… but there was another time… she had been babysitting a family friend’s child when she was younger and had wanted to show off by climbing a tree. Finally getting to a branch, she had slipped off falling right on her….
With a muffled wheeze Nu opened her eyes, but managed only to see something that would manage for a very warm scarf. A…tail…? Brain still fuzzy, Nu tried to reason. She wondered if a monster had attacked her, but quickly ruled out that notion on the grounds that she wasn’t being mauled to death. Focusing and now more consciously awake, Nu heard a voice:

"Well, this was faster than I anticipated, but hi Nu, nice to see you again. How are you? Nice song."

“mahufufuagufufufuwahfufufuguhugggf?” (Ah well, It feels like I've got a lot of weight on my shoulders these days, you been well?)

Nu coughed, she couldn’t move her limbs. She was slightly distressed by that, but nothing seemed to hurt except for maybe the tingling sensation left in her ribs. Craning her neck, she managed to get the tail currently floating on her face like a funeral shawl underneath the back of her head. Relatively speaking, the tail made for a fantastic pillow.

“Ya know, I wasn’t too sure if that night actually happened, like, really, really, actually happened, but well, I can feel you here and I don’t think I’m dead….”

Nu blinked twice half in consideration of the situation and half to hide away any tears that had tried to leak out from the blow. Taking stock of herself, Nu began to notice a new problem, She wore a somewhat twitchy smile while continuing in a newly nasally voice:

“Nishy, I don’t know if whatever we’re doing is some cultural thing, but I just thought I could warn you…I feel a sneeze coming along…”

“…”

“wah ha ha…”

Nu's eyes having met Nisha's for a moment, looked away to the right.

She was really trying to hold it in.

[Nisha]

Ah, well, this was a problem, her legs were still itching and buzzing with sleep and drowsiness and felt like they were made more out of pudding than flesh and she had not yet tried to walk on her hands. In the real world it never worked because of... well, her body and now it was more of a problem with if the game would even allow that kind of a thing. Nisha´s eyes smiled shakily as well as she heard the proclamation and she was feverishly looking for a way to defuse this situation, but at the same time she was panicking and could not think clearly. Nodding as if in agreement or maybe acknowledgement of the predicament, she finally saw a way. Not that she would normally take this one when she could think clearly or had full control of her body, but this situation was anything but normal. It was an extreme measure, but Nisha let herself fall on top of Nu, feeling something bouncy and soft and seeing Nu´s head from the side for once while she waited for the sneeze to pass. All the while mumbling: "Go ahead and sneeze, sorry but this was the only way I saw out of this, mornings are not my strong points. So sorry, my legs are still asleep from sleeping on that tree and I woke up a bit too fast and wanted to see you again and rush over and... and... I give up."

Chuckling at first, she started to laugh and felt her hands rest at her sides, her legs still awkwardly set at the side of Nu´s body and twitching now from slowly showing signs of fading from unresponsive jelly to shivering jelly that burned slightly. Ah, this was definitely one weird way to wake up, she thought as she laughed loudly at the situation, hoping Nu would take it with humor as well and this would not become too awkward before she could move again. If she had known it would come to this she would have asked someone else to accompany her on the tree and have someone to wake her up or hold her back before being rash. But then again, this was just how Nisha was after all. As for that night back then, it indeed felt fleeting how they had battled and then left each other, a party that had potential but maybe had lacked the will to pull through in the end. Ah, well, Nisha had them all on her list and would definitely not mind to hang out with them again, well, she did not know if this would classify normally, but Nisha was anything but normal so it was most likely okay anyway.

[Nursery Rhyme]

There’s no way I can sneeze now….

Understanding the predicament if only a slight bit better, Nu realized that they were probably stuck in this position, which from some onlookers' points of view, might seem envious.
Nu could now see the blue fluffy-cloud sky and, at the corner of her vision, just make out just the tip of a twitching fox ear.

Ah… I really am going to sneeze. This is bad…

Suddenly though, she felt the body on top of her convulse, Nisha was laughing.
“Giha?!”
Nu's back arched against the weight atop her in reaction.
“No-hahaha don’t give up-fhguhaha-”
“Stop-hehe laughhehehhahaha, wheh, when you laugh…whahga that tickles nooo!”
There were tears in Nu’s eyes as her nose scrunched up. She was trying to wiggle away in spite of herself, but was more or less paralyzed by Nisha’s own unintentionally tickling laughter.
“wai-haha well at leasthehehe I don’t have to sneeze anymuwahahahahaha nooo stop~ gehehe stooop!”
Nu was gasping for air.
She was right though, she no longer felt the compulsion to sneeze. And then she did.
“CHOO! Ghahaha oh God…gnnnnn”
A snot bubble popped into a runny trail down her cheek. It was the most disgusting feeling Nu had ever had the pleasure of living through.
Nu snorted.
She was laughing of her own volition now.
“I, hahahaha, I give up, too! Chaha~God! Kill me nowhahahhahaha!”

Somewhere out there, beyond the garden, the world continued at a pace quite normal, all the while seemingly unaware, of the overwhelming gravity of the overall situation.

[Nisha]

Ah, this situation was hopeless and yet hilarious. Even as Nisha heard Nu snicker as well and then laugh, Nisha herself was quite happy to have met Nu again and even as she heard the nose discharge happening, she could not help herself but laugh until tears ran down her face and she was out of breath, wondering how she could get out of this without making this any more weird or awkward. At least she could think somewhat clearly now as she lay on top of Nu and felt their both chests heaving and sighing from the laughing and breathing. Shaking her head slightly, she thought about some way she could move without her legs, but each movement would be most likely weird and not good, so she decided to lay here for a while longer until she was able to at least relax her legs which felt like they were cramping from the unusual position already. "Ah, no killing please, I still want to have fun." Nisha said with a chuckle, being all out of breath for laughing anymore and trying to wipe her eyes so that the happy tears did not run down her faceonly ended with her bouncing a little and feeling herself slide further into Nu, so that did not work out as well.

"Urgh this really is a predicament and too much this early in the morning, mind if I go back to sleep for a while?" Nisha asked jokingly and instead tried to move her legs a little, feeling them shiver under the try and shift ever so little to at least give way for Nu´s arms if she pulled them out, the only part that was really reacting to her tries though were her tails. Wriggling about slowly and menacingly upon them both as Nisha was now basically looking at the side of Nu´s face and her own tail poking out from below her head. Seeing it wriggle up close and personal, she wondered if she would have to sneeze too, but so far nothing, maybe laughing and crying like this was good enough an embarassment for her that her tails had some mercy on her. "So, anyway, since we have some time and we have both given up... What were you doing here?" It was not that she was not still feverishly thinking of ways to escape, but for now, talking seemed to be the thing to do to calm their nerves a little... also Nisha was curious about it, since this was kind of guild territory and usually people did not come here uninvited.

[Nursery Rhyme]

Listening to Nisha and their sudden sense of shared calm, Nu tried to remember whatever it was that those states of psychological distress were the people always talked about. Their name was on the tip of their tongue but her mind only managed their current state of ‘acceptance’. Nu sighed half in contentment, half in vexation, this really was a sublime moment. A true moment worthy of archiving in her head and never, ever, sharing with anyone else.

“Why not die? Really! Hmhm, pretty hard to top….this….” Nu motioned with her eyes in a circular fashion to seemingly encapsulate the whole situation in place of her arms. “This is a once in a lifetime moment, for sure.” The tiny girl seemed oddly satisfied.

“Wah. ha. ha.” She sighed again, this time through a spoken faux laugh.

Feeling Nisha move ever so slightly, Nu thought to try and capitalize of her friend’s brave effort.

“Excuse me.”

With furrowed brows, Nu tugged with all her girlish might. In her mind, her little right arm seemed to suddenly squeeze out with a popping sound like that of a toy gun, but it was probably nothing so dramatic. Grasping for grass clippings, Nu tried to clean her face as best she could. She was still extremely stuck, very much pinned to the grass, but with at least one free arm, this whole experience was now far more manageable…

“You know, a nap would be just utterly perfect right now… but I’m worried someone might find us…ya know?” Nu chuckled coyly, her free hand was placed on her cheek as she titled her head in a mock maidenly blush. Nu grinned.

“Hmm… This really is like a slumber party isn’t it? Only it’s day and instead of a blanket we have, well, you.” Nu poked Nisha’s shoulder coyly as if to drive home the image.

“Right. What –was- I doing…?” Nu looked around the garden from her prone position, she was proud of her work, she felt like showing off just a little. Turning her neck to better look into Nisha’s face, Nu’s face spread into a proud Cheshire’s grin.

“Gardening!”

[Nisha]

She was definitely right about that, this was definitely a moment that would go down in the books for her. Also, she did not mind anyone seeing her like this since she was most likely already anyway the odd one. Which was good because she was and worked hard on that. It gave her a bit leverage if she did not know what to do if that came to pass. But for now, this situation had to be resolved and maybe asked for drastic measures. Still chuckling from them two agreeing on giving up and their banter about how sleeping would be an interesting idea, Nisha wondered how much she would have to move and make this weird to get off Nu, with the least possible resistance and maybe even some dignity left for both of them to share and be satisfied with. "No sleeping now. This is weird enough as is." Nisha protested with a laugh and felt the poke in her shoulder, so at least that seemed to have worked, maybe it was really time to vacate this position in favor of...

Suddenly Nu had answered her question and Nisha could not hold it in anymore and needed to laugh even louder. "Gardening, whu? Whoops." She said as she felt herself slide off Nu for real this time, just in the opposite direction, away from her and saw the ground coming toward her face, in reflex, she moved her hands and flipped over, landing on her back, but felt something bouncy on her arm as she lay there, her legs stretched out from the sudden flipping and feeling as if a million ants were running over them. As all four limbs were stretched out, one was kind of resting on Nu, but Nisha felt too accomplished to move anymore for now. Also, it felt nice on her arm, so she did not mind all that much, just looking up, she sighed relieved and then laughed again, asking: "Gardening? That´s an odd little hobby to have on a guilds space, not that I think anyone would mind, with everyone always running about and stuff." Nisha did wonder though if Nu had known about this before she had come here. After all, this place had no big signs or something which made it known this was guild territory, which made Nisha wonder why people did not wander in here more often or maybe they did and were chased off by something? Well, Nu was cute enough that it must not have worked. Laughing still about the weirdness of coming here for gardening and the situation in itself, she felt that this day could become quite fantastic if there was not that weird tugging feeling from one of her tails, the one which was still below Nu´s head? Nisha just hoped kind of the situation from before would not just be switched with some tailtangling thrown in the mix. But no, that would be a bit too much, right? Right?

[Nursery Rhyme]

Still on her back, Nu held out her limbs like a starfish and streeeeeetched the life back into them. What a divine feeling, almost worth the trouble…
Nu popped up into a sitting position quickly, and turning, looked at her quarry Nisha, still laid out rather lazily.
*Snrk* “Nishy…you…you…look like a turtle…”

"..."

“Pffffftthahahahahaha” Nu fell over into the grass across from Nisha. There were tears in the little girl's eyes as she kicked her legs pointing with her right hand. Her left was holding her side as if it might explode.  It was just too much. What an image. Nu could hardly contain herself. For a moment, she thought about poking Nisha’s legs with a stick or something just to see how her friend would react, but mastering herself, decided against it.

“Poor..hmhm…thinghehe…”
She was trying to suppress her laughter.

Moving back over to Nisha, Nu moved to place the fox-friend’s head in her lap for a pillow.

“There, there…”
Nu was patting the girl’s head lightly. Curiosity got the better of her however, and she ended up poking the tip of an ear with her pointer finger.
“Yes. Gardening!” Nu continued, glad that Nisha had taken an interest in her happenings. “It’s a laugh riot, just swing a rake about and everything gets pretty.” Nu nodded for herself.

“Easey peasey, almost like a joke...”

Breathing deep, the soon to be noon-tide air, Nu once again took stock of her progress. She was very proud. Nu still believed this would make for an excellent little private quarter to welcome visitors into. Hadn’t the magnetic qualities of her garden-jutsu already found her one such guest of caliber? This had certainly been a triple S quality visit. Truly superb. For a moment, Nu wondered if there wasn’t some plant she could cultivate here that wouldn’t paralyze the legs of –everyone- who visited, herself included.
“We’d be…*snrk*…a turtle farm…! Fehehe…”

Nu shook her head. Maybe someday…for a joke.

Ruffling Nisha’s hair how a mother would, she leaned forward a bit with a stretch to loom over her friend’s face from a kind of upside down sort of position. She made sure that their eyes met.

“But what were you doing?” Nu’s brows furrowed into a look of light chastisement.

“These aren’t cat ears are they?” She poked each ear once.

“Nor that a kitty’s tail.” This time, she pointed, vexingly being out of poke’s reach. Resuming her former position before Nisha’s face, she continued:

“What was a fox doing in a tree….? You’re not going to serve me green eggs and ham next are you?”
Nu laughed.

“No wait, you said ‘grilled’ yes. Is that what you and your friends do here? Grill things? Grilled green eggs and ham? You should take better care of the space if so.”


Nu hadn’t the singlest clue what a guild was.

[Nisha]

Nisha sighed, just enjoying the feeling of her legs slowly relaxing and feeling better. It was a heavenly feeling even more so as she chuckled along with what Nu was saying. Sheesh, that girl was crazy, crazy and fun actually. Once again, Nisha was glad that she had met her back then, even though the memory of the last bit was a bit hazy as if she had gotten a cold and a fever and some of it had been wiped away. But whatever, her little friend was jumping around and now called her a turtle... Well, she was at least somewhat right about that part, Nisha felt like just lying here until the sun came out fully and warm her up, maybe a bit longer to enjoy the grill that Nu suddenly spoke of as well. Made her wonder how she had come to that conclusion... Wait...

There was something wrong there in between. And it was not the lap pillow, which Nisha enjoyed quite some and snuggled a bit closer to her friend, no, something she had said, or maybe not said? You know that feeling that something has gone awry in between words, like silent post where someone whispers someone a message and then it makes a round and something completely different appears at the end. Grilled... there was something there, though first was replying to some of the questions she had been asked playfully. "Not a cat, but I definitely enjoy trees and high places since we have become trapped in here, feels like I am becoming a beast sometimes. Weird, right? In real life I never much cared about it, but now I can not stand sleeping inside or somewhere close to the ground, also..." Nisha reached up and poked the head that was looking at her on the forehead. "The stars in here are really pretty." Winking at her, she moved her arm a bit awkwardly and pet Nu on the head as well, but careful to not get her beautiful hair into a chaos. Nisha with her short-ish hair had no trouble getting it back to normal, but that beautiful purple hair... No, that would be heresy. "As for grills, no grills, though maybe we should do that some times, gotta ask neun. I meant a guild. A gathering of players who are in a sort of party and benefit from each other, that place over there is actually our house. Pretty, right?" Nisha asked and poked Nu into her side as if to point through her, but also maybe to tickle her a little. "As for the turtle farm... let´s do it, sounds great, we just gotta get turtles and maybe dig a pond around here."

Wagging with all of her seven tails, she was definitely happy about the attention she was getting and wondered if... just maybe she could talk Nu into getting into the guild, and if she even had the power to invite her, but that was a question for when Nu understood what a guild meant. She would not just drag her into something she had never seen. That would just not be right, even though she had a feeling that Nu would not mind all that much and since she was just as gung ho as Nisha was, she would most likely not only understand it soon that way but rather assimilate it. In the end though, she could just not do it, not to Nu or any friend who might not even like the idea of being with a fun group of people or hanging out with lovable little Nisha. Even though she was kind of towering above most players, still not understand why so many people chose heights like this was an asian server, but whatever, she had decided to accept that and also quite liked this slender body, so she was pretty okay with it, even more so since it allowed her to fool around better.

[Nursery Rhyme]

“They really, really are…” Nu’s voice turned dreamy, she was thinking of her dusty store full of books and how well suited it was to being repossessed and flown all away like a tornado of debt and circumstance. She really –was- Dorothy, she considered, before being pulled back quickly into reality by the fact that Nisha had taken to talking about grills and guilds or something. Nu was certain that she would love to have a grill-out here, and if Nisha was part of such a merchant union, Nu could imagine just how much fun that could be. And delicious. Nu was kind of hungry. Nu followed Nisha’s gesture with her eyes. “Oh! So we’re neighbors then. Whaha! Cool! Cool!” She urged Nisha to continue on, it was interesting seeing what she had considered a more cool, quiet, character speak so much.

Oh wow! Nishy caught onto the turtle farm thing! That really excited Nu, it really would be hilarious wouldn’t it. Tit for tat or something. Sweet revenge, on what, she wasn’t sure, but surely trespassers might be guilty of something right? Maybe she could leave an antidote in a pie on the ground not too far away while she hid and watched. It could say ‘eat me!’ Too which would just be perfect. It was both a reference and a juvenile insult. Perfectly good literary real-estate and scary efficient to boot.

“First we’ll need some paralytic plants…then… oh…”
Nu let that line trail into a mumble. Nisha had meant –actual- turtles. In a second, Nu was behind the idea.
“Yes! That would be awesome whahaha~ Turtles are so funny!” Wouldn’t that be nice. And since they were neighbors, Nu thought, Nisha could visit anytime with her union of grilling guildies. She was getting more and more excited.

With eyes like stars Nu poked Nisha’s forehead back while continuing to drill her with questions.

“Guild huh? A grilling guild? A merchant’s union of chefs? How quaint! How fancy~wahaha!”
Nu pouted a bit for show. “But I don’t cook…so I can’t join.” Nu was playing coy, but she didn’t really like being left out. Not from something so seemingly interesting. Such neighbors would make such a fun captive audience for grilling bbq, garden, turtle parties.

“Is it fun being in a guild? They have those for actors modernly. The idea’s so medieval isn’t it? Is it interesting? Do you peddle spice? Spice and Fox, is that what you’ve called it? Seasonings and prepared meats is such smart business.”

Nu sighed. So clever, she thought, she was almost ready to drop tailoring on the spot. But she wanted a flag staff, damn it! She bit her lip feeling a little vexed with the idea...

[Nisha]

Nisha let Nu ramble for a while, she had become used to that by now and definitely did not mind the girl taking apart the meaning of the guild and not knowing about an in game guild and yet knowing the deeper meaning as well as the historical part of it. Nothing she said had been wrong and yet quite misunderstood. It made Nisha wonder if Nu was like this in the real world too and if she either did not care there or was in a position to talk like this, the other way was a bit sadder, but nothing Nisha could not understand either. It was that Nu was not like this in the real world and started over in the game, none of the above would change how Nisha viewed Nu, but it had an impact on herself that she could still think like this. And here she had thought she had given up on analyzing people beyond what they were and look behind the curtain, if her thoughts may be so free and take the actor meaning Nu had spoken of for herself. As for the turtles, there were quite some ideas what Nu might have meant, even more so with her mention of turtles, but at least for now she needed to keep a clean vest, definitely not forever and the beast was only slumbering, but yes, for now she would need to keep to the rules and behave, so normal turtles would do quite well.

Grinning up at Nu, she made herself even more comfortable and closed her eyes, nodding at certain points and chuckling at others to show that she was still listening, but enjoyed herself enough to just lie in her lap for now. Her tails wagging slowly but rhythmically as well, waving air around and feeling quite satisfied as well. Opening her eyes again as Nu came to a close with her own performance, Nisha grinned and nearly yawned feeling so content here. Maybe a nap after this... well, it was not a question but rather there would be a nap, the question was just if with Nu or alone, maybe sneaking back on to the roof. "Sadly enough there is definitely not enough grilling and acting to go around for either kind of guild you mentioned. It´s more like a group of people who came together and decided to form a party forever, creating a new form of party. As the story goes, there were six heroes at the start of time, but a party only allowed for four in one party. No raid had been invented yet and neither the ability to go into dungeons with several parties." Nisha´s voice had lowered itself into story telling mode, coming up with this on the spot, since she doubted Nu would want a normal description of a guild for real or would mind to understand it like that.

"So those six ventured forth, through forests and fields, battled monsters of godly level and yet always felt that having two parties split them up. In desperation, they called upon the heaven... ly turtle." Nisha moved her hands up to the sky, brushing over Nu´s cheeks and made her look up into the sky where right now several clouds that were at least a 1% look alike to a turtle god were slowly floating around. "And the turtle heard their plea and wept, reaching the gods who had created this system of unfairness and they wept as well, seeing their wrong doings and gifted the party of six the ability to create a group that would last forever. A guild of adventurers and heroes, as well as a place where they could rest their heads. And to this day..." Nisha lowered her hands from Nu´s warm cheeks again, feeling the warmth in her hands now as well and folded her hands on her own chest. That was now slowly moving up and down as she breathed in and out in a sigh as if she was relieved and happy about the end of the story. "We follow this tradition by establishing guilds where people can come and find other heroes like them and have fun... There might even be grilling and partying from time to time on certain days. How about it, want to join one of those and meet more people whom I think of as friends and comrades?" Nisha smiled and closed her eyes again, waiting for Nu to answer or ask her what she was talking about. She had still quite some types of explainations to offer if this one did not work. But she really hoped Nu would say yes, with someone as crazy and fun as her around, she definitely would not mind hanging out and maybe... who knew?

Nu listened intently with eyes closed to Nisha’s rather narrative explanation of guilds as if to cherish each moment like a bite of some sweet confection. It was like being sung to for your own birthday party: a little embarrassing, a little ridiculous, but all in such sweetly good faith. Nu was touched really, she didn’t feel like teasing Nisha about such silliness right at this moment. Humming ever so lightly to Nisha’s explanations of great sky turtles and heroes of certain numbers, Nu nodded her head with Nisha’s every breath as if to nudge her on to the next line. When Nisha had finished, Nu breathed deep as if to suck up the remnants of those words still floating around and bring them a little closer to her heart. She sighed contentedly. Running her hand in a way to move Nisha’s bangs aside, Nu played at checking her friend’s forehead for a fever.

“Silly…of course I’d come with you… turtles or non”
Nu chuckled.

“I’d love to see who else in this funny little world would put up with you sitting on them…”
Taking her hand off Nisha’s forehead, Nu leaned back so that her two arms would have to anchor her to keep herself from falling over. She looked at the sky and for a moment tried to think of what that passing cloud might look like. Maybe it really was some good-medicine skyturtle that Nu was seeing in the shape of things and the world around her. Nu wondered what it would mean to be in a guild, what it might feel like to have people count on her, and in turn be held accountable. She wasn’t worried, compared to most other players, Nu had an unfair advantage of probably at least a decade’s worth of life experience over such other compatriots. Still, it was an offer she had to take seriously. She was being asked to enter into an ironclad agreement of trust. Just then, Nu’s stomach grumbled…

“Would it be an unfair question to ask if breakfast’s an included part of the package?”
Nu laughed.

“You’re a mine of happy occasions Nishy~ I wouldn’t give up you or this garden for the world.”

[Nisha]

Nisha slowly sat up, her hands in front of her, raising like the dead from the warmth and comfort of Nu´s lap and hands. Nisha had never minded friendly skinship and had little barriers against it, so she had become used to it and now enjoyed it as long as it did not go too far. And Nu´s caring personality definitely would not make even the most embarassed person feel uncomfortable. Maybe she should make her and vixi meet sometime. That would definitely be quite the show. In one way or another. Yawning a little, she turned around and slowly stood up. "Breakfast sounds good, and yes, usually there is food around, so don´t worry. Let´s see." Having taken Nu´s words as a sign, Nisha send her a guild invite. Made easier by the fact that she was already Nisha´s friend and seeing that she could actually invite people into the guild. Opened up quite some new options. But for now, she would enjoy it if Nu would really join. Stretching a little to wake up, she pointed the house again. "So, let´s raid our new house for food, what do you say we race to the first toast of the day? Actually I would like something warm to drink first, feeling a bit stiff." Nisha said with a smile and wondered if someone had warmed up some tea or maybe some drink already. Would definitely be the best wake up thing right now. As for the guild, Nisha was not in it that long either, so she most likely did not know everyone yet as well, running around with little whirlwind Nu would definitely make her find some new people and maybe even open up some new opportunities here and there. Lately she had felt restless anyway and thought about going to avon, but maybe this way she would be able to find something interesting to do here. made her wonder if there was a guild house in avon or even sarum right now that she could frequent. Not frequent in the way that she would lodge there but have some point of interest to coordinate with, seeing how bad her sense of direction was... she needed something like that.
