WHO: Anne and OTA
WHERE: Around the South Village
WHEN: End of April/beginning of May
OPEN TO: OTA
WARNINGS: N/A - will add as necessary

After returning from the caves and rescuing the kidnapped villagers, and soon thereafter finding themselves besieged, Anne is putting her animal transformation powers to use; you may very well see, or be aided by, a large tawny tiger.

She does expend a lot of energy, however, so when she's not fighting or trying to secure the village, she's resting at home or trying to be excited about rationed meals at the Inn. Or, just catching a quick nap at the Inn.

As the month wears on and the ghosts visits become more frequent, Anne spends more and more time at and defending the Inn, but if you need to get to one of the other buildings, she will offer to run escort.

She's used to pushing herself under normal circumstances, doing so as a tiger isn't much different.

Private to Foggy - post-rescue

Anne was ready to be home. While the rescue missions had been a success, they had been stressful, full of fighting and biting the familiar ghost-like enemies, and not everyone had made it out alive. She finally finally - makes it through her front door and closes it behind her, dropping her pack on the floor.

"Foggy? I'm back!"

And she could really use a hug.

Private to Eddie - backdated to mid-April

She'd gotten a crash course in tigering in the caves, but now that she's back and still in possession of the ability, she's eager to see what else she can accomplish with it, and how else she can make it useful to the village as a whole. It's not exactly like her time with Venom, but she figures he more than anyone else has the kind of experience that might be useful in helping her push her skills further.

Still, it'd be polite to ask Eddie first, and so she makes a point to arrive early enough to catch him first, knocking on the door as a warmly-dressed human to start.

Seifer's House, shortly post-rescue

Anne had returned to find the attacks from the ghost-residents increased, and the actual residents ... waning. She was lucky that the two most important people in her life were still here, but not everyone was so lucky.

She makes a point to gather up a small skein of yarn she'd worked up before heading off to the caves, and heads out to see Seifer. Making her way across the village, she's alert and ready to transform into a tiger at the first sign of trouble, but fortunately it's a quick, quiet trek from her house to his.

She knocks onn the door, looking over her shoulder as she waits for him to answer.

"There's actually something beautifully simple about base survival. No stress about car payments, insurance, retirement, stocks ... It's scary, it is stressful, but it's uncomplicated."

She falls quiet for a moment, thinking on their conversation as she soaks. "I had a brief moment of panic last month where I realized I hadn't done my taxes ..."

Foggy laughs. He doesn't mean to, but it's the sort of random thing that hits him too. "Mine was realising I hadn't filed my bar registry renewal."

It is funny, and she chuckles along with him. "It seems so silly now, the things we used to worry about. This place has been dangerous and scary at times, but ... it's still a bit of a vacation in some ways."

She pushes the water out with her hand as if to demonstrate; they're currently in a natural hot-spring that's within walking distance of their little village. Still after a moment of thought, her mind wanders and her expression darkens. "Well, for us, at least. There are some others that - this is all they have."

Foggy hums, looking around them. "Joshua said that if he gets sent back, it's to his death. His friend had already survived past when Joshua died."

Whereas Foggy would go back to a world where his dead friend wasn't dead. "Elektra... died. In my world and time. Was dead already."

"Seifer ..." She doesn't feel the heart to really get into what that poor boy has already been through, "And he's lost most of his friends here, as well. When I was his age, I was busy working on college admissions essays."

She laces her fingers with his under the water. "I'm sorry about Natasha. Is she still ... here?" So many people had been disappearing lately, it's hard to keep track.

"Oh. Poor kid." Foggy's an empathic soul... he can't imagine that sort of strain.

"I don't even know who is here and who isn't, who I'm just not able to catch up with, you know?" It's a bit stressful. A lot stressful. He squeezes her hand gently.

"It's gotten so quiet." She lets the silence sit in the moment, and then twists slightly so she can look back at Foggy. "I'm glad you're still here." She knows she'd find a way to manage otherwise, but she's glad she doesn't have to.

"I haven't been checking in on Eddie as often, but he's around. Is Mat still accounted for?"

"Yeah." He looks to her and smiles. "I'm glad you're here, too. You've made this whole thing not... not just bearable, but actually pleasant."

Foggy shifts his head to watch her in return. "As of yesterday morning, yeah. Him and Elektra." He will never warm completely to Elektra, but she makes Matt happy.
