Fountain Arrival

The last thing Leonardo remembered was a late night staring at codex pages, trying to make sense of the strange designs and visions they saw when Ezio touched 'the Apple.' It was still an interesting name to him, a nod to the temptation of unknown things, but he was weary when he lay his head on his work desk to close his eyes. Just for a few minutes. That was all. So imagine his surprise when his next coherent thought is I am drowning! as he finds himself floating in freezing water. His beloved Italia is rarely if ever so cold, and he flails wildly at first, but manages to see some light up ahead.

He breaks through the top of the water with a big gasp and wide eyes, scrambling his fingers against the side. Oh no. This feels like one of those situations he keeps finding himself in, and that means Ezio should not be far behind. Ah well. Leonardo hefts himself up and onto the ground, sitting on the edge and breathing deeply. Blue eyes dart around taking in the strange unfamiliar landscape, the land that is most certainly not his country or one he recognizes, and he isn't in his robes to deal with the harshness of the cold air.

"Oh Leonardo," he murmurs to himself, brushing wet hair from his face. "What have you done this time?"


Seen Around the South Village

Leonardo is a very energetic and curious person, so he can be seen in multiple locations over the next few days. If outside, he will be overly layered because it is too cold for him. He will be in the inn for lunch and chat with whoever is there, the schoolhouse eagerly looking over all of the books there, the boathouse and the mill and then simply wandering around clearly checking the place out.

He will then go up to the North Village and do much the same thing.

It had taken a bit for 7 to get over her first hangover, which wasn't as bad as when she'd been legitimately ill yet was the experience was possessed of horrors of its own and it would be too soon a thing to revisit. The moment she's feeling slightly better, she's up and out.

The schedule she maintains is more active in the late afternoon and evening, stopping by the Inn for lunch and again for dinner before heading out to do her Patrols, partnering with however she'd been assigned, or if it's an off-night just doing some general Exploring.

It's cold out, and she's never exactly dressed for it, but she makes up for that by keeping active; always moving, scaling trees, hoping from roof to roof. Being human sized in a human world - especially one as sparsely populated as this - meant there was a severe lack of things for her to spring off of or to or about, but she makes do with what she had.

Bathed in moonlight, she can most easily be found as a spectre darting among the shadows, spear in hand, bola hanging from her belt, and her cave wolf skull-mask obscuring her face.

Closed to Wanda

7's a late sleeper, so the knocking at the door catches her just as she's starting to rouse for the day. Eddie's out, wherever it is he went to, so it fell to her to answer the door.

She opens it and blinks in the daytime light, clothes rumpled from sleeping, hair falling out of its braid.

"Hey?"

Closed to Kat

It's been a few months since 7 has first arrived in the village. She's starting to get used to being surrounded by what she considers is a crush of people, and while she appreciates her solitude still she has found it's been nice to have friends; people she searches out for their companionship and that human connection that wasn't too far removed from the close friendships she'd formed with the other dolls.

She and Kat had talked on New Year's, but then again they were both pretty ... sloshed. Now that 7's recovered from the epic awful hangover that resulted from that night, she wanted to check on her friend and hang out when they were both of a clearer head.

There's a sharp knock at Kat's door.

"Kat, are you in? It's 7."

Closed to Venom

It was a highlight of her day - or nights, rather - after she'd had dinner and when most people are settling down for the night, when she's not scheduled for patrol she goes out hunting with Venom. He doesn't need her there; he's more than capable of taking down his own meals, but 7 appreciated being allowed to join in. It was a rush; riding along his back as he bounded through the woods, helping to herd quarry toward him, playing lookout and looking for the next target.

It's always been one of her favorite parts of living here, even from their earliest tussle before she knew who he really was, but now there's this odd extra layer; seeing him makes her smile, holding onto his back and feeling the wind against her cheek brings her the purest joy.

She finds him, fitting her skull mask over her braid and preparing for the night. "So, what are you in the mood for?"
