House 25 | OTA

Cissie and Tim have finally moved out of the Inn, claiming House 25 as their own. It's a cute little place, and she's pretty happy to start making it their own. She doesn't consider it giving up or anything like that; there's no way for them to know how long they'll be here, and as long as the Observers keep picking them up and dumping them in the wilderness, they may as well have a nice place to return to. It makes her feel better. And now it's Spring, which means she can spend time out in the yard, starting to clean up the yard and think about whether they'll be able to have a garden of some kind. If she's not digging in the dirt, she can be found inside the house, or on the porch with some tea and a book.

Hospital | OTA

She volunteered to help out, and Cissie is a girl of her word. Besides, she likes having something like a job, a schedule to follow. It also helps her to feel like she has a purpose here; it's something that was missing before, both in Wonderland and at home. Having the opportunity to learn more about medicine, and to help the few medical staff members in the village makes her feel better, even if all she really does is clean rooms and keep things stocked when she's not receiving lessons.

Dojo | OTA

Cissie knows that she's a young, pretty blonde teenager, and it's easy to be underestimated. A lot of times she relies on that. For her first few months here, she didn't even set foot in the dojo. But now that she's recovered from her adventures with Aqua in the forest, she doesn't want to get caught in another situation where she may have to run or fight for her (or someone else's) life--at least not without some solid practice under her belt. So she goes to the dojo now, at least daily, and does what she can. It may have been a few years since she wore a mask, but her mother started her training at age five. She knows multiple martial arts and hand-to-hand combat, she did gymnastics and ballet and tap, but more than anything... She misses her archery. She won't say no if someone wants to spar, either.

Wildcard! OTA

[Pick your poison! Feel free to encounter Cissie anywhere in the South Village; she spends a lot of time in the schoolhouse, takes daily jogs around but won't wander too far outside the village itself. Anywhere is fair game to run into her, though--literally or figuratively!]

Cissie looks up when he enters the room and offers a friendly smile. “No, not at all. I was just doing some dusting.” She holds up a cloth as proof, her smile turning a bit wry. “I’m pretty sure this wouldn’t fly for sanitary conditions where—when—I’m from, but we’re doing the best we can, right?”

"It's not even remotely like when I'm from. Sonic sterilization keeps things pretty ship-shape," North smiles, because he gets it.

At least they knew about boiling things and alcohol and managing germs, right?

Cissie looks up at him with interest now. “Oh wow, you’re from even further in the future than I am! It’s 2011 back home for me.” She pauses and laughs. “On Earth. You’d think I’d know better than to assume that by now.” By ‘that,’ she means the idea that everyone is from Earth. She knows everyone isn’t, especially people from the future, at least in her experience so far. She holds out a hand. “I’m Cissie.”

"2550s," North offers with a smile. "Earth is definitely the core of the human sphere, but it's not where I'm from. Only been a few times myself. As for the name..."

He tucks the papers aside and offers his hand. Is even kind enough to only offer a firm shake.

"North Dakota. Yes. As in the state. It's complicated."
