[Video/Action]

[Here is a fully bundled Aerith, blue scarf wrapped loosely around her face as she smiles.]

Speed run! Don't try this at home. I'm a professional.

...Not really. But I've been practicing, and I think I'm getting better!

[This is about all the introduction given before the journal gets set down to show wide open sky, but once Aerith throws herself in its direction and sets things into a blur of motion, it quickly becomes apparent what she's doing: enjoying her toboggan present from Christmas. She seems to be quite childishly pleased with herself on the faster runs, and pouts when one bumpy ride ends only halfway down. Finally:]

All right, now for the obstacle course! [Tucking the journal under-arm, Aerith drags the toboggan ba-a-a-ck up. This time she turns it to a different position a few feet away and a very different angle. She starts out more slowly, letting gravity lead the way, and steers the tobaggan around trees and rocks, her expression turning focused as the wind whips back her hair. And then--] Oh, no, no! Move, rabbit, run! Hey--ah--!!!! [After wildly veering, once she hits a fallen tree, Aerith and journal are airborne. Too bad they have to come back down, but at least it's in a snowdrift, right?]

...Mmmf.

[...FEEL FREE TO ACTION IT UP / BE SLEDDING WITH HER? She's on the lower part of the mountain slope, closest to the village. Or just shake your head at her from afar, whatever.]

[But since Aerith is at the bottom, her perspective is very different, and her eyes widen as he gets closer and closer.] Look out, you'll crash!

[Sorry, too late. He hits the rock head on, goes flipping into the air, and lands on some MORE unpleasant looking rocks. He might be okay, except for the whole bleeding and not getting up just yet.]

[--Yeeeeah Aerith's eyes are going even wider at his prone form, and she's going to ignore her own soreness in favor of making her way over to the blond bleeding out.] Are you okay? Mister? Oh, no...! [She kneels by him, starting to call on Nala's healing magic.] Can you hear me?

[By all means, he should be dead. Even his jaw is dislocated. But nevertheless, the one arm not mangled pulls himself up a bit, snaps his own neck into place and fixes his jaw. The rest of his bones snap back into place, while his gaping wounds start closing up. If she cast her magic, that certainly would have sped it along, but either way, he's healing on his own. Once he's left popping his fingers back into place.]

I think I'm all in one piece.

[Oh, good. Now fix Aerith's brain. Keywords, man.]

[Once he pops his pinky into place, he looks up at her and smiles.]

Well hey there, beautiful. Come here often?

[Nope, brain still not fully functional.]

I--you--

... You scared me! You were--how are you thinking about--if this is how you flirt with girls, I really have to wonder about your dates.

[He sits up a bit, looking distinctly disappointed about his now blood soaked coat.]

Yeah, sorry about that. The universe hates me, wherever I am. But for the record, I planned to say that after I landed a perfect 360 in front of you.

I'd be amazed if you tried the 360 again, but not in a good way. So-- let's not repeat that, okay? [Blood all over, ohmigosh] Are you sure you're okay?

Trust me. I don't plan to be doing that trick again any time soon.

[He stands up and wipes some of the blood off his chin.]

Besides, you think a little slip like that's going to do me in?

I don't know what would do you in, but that "little slip" looked like it hurt. ...Did you use some kind of magic? [There's Regen, but that didn't look quite the same...]

Hurts like hell. Long story short, there's a hell of a lot of people back home that don't want to see me dead. And maybe some here too. [He gives her a look as if to ask if she's one of them.]

I'd hope most people wouldn't want to see a stranger dead. [Though she's sure those people back home know him somehow; it's mostly in answer to the second part and his look. Not a clue who he is.] What's your name? I'm Aerith.

You never know with some people. [Not exactly strangers. More... fans, really.]

Jack. Jack Horner, nice to meet you. Are you alright? That tumble you took didn't look so good either.

A little slip like that won't do me in either. ...Might bruise me, though. Hold on.

[Naaaala we both know this is really silly but please make my tush feel less crushed--

okay this isn't how Aerith actually does her healing magic, but anyway. She's getting it done with a brief spell.]

There!

[He blinks for a second. As long as he's been in Luceti (two weeks), this is kind of a first.]

What was that?

[She blinks and then smiles.]

Healing magic. Have you heard of Nala? You probably don't need to make her acquaintance, but she's one of the spirits here and teaches people how to heal.

Huh. You're pretty handy with that magic...

[Magic users are usually pretty old. Not always physically either. And yet there's that look in her eyes that, well, doesn't give him any indication that she's any older than she looks. Odd.]

You think? I guess it's a gift. [She knows. All that Ancient goodness.]

So... are you a New Feather, Jack?

[This magic thing will require some investigation.]

About two weeks in. How about you?

Two months. It feels longer, though.

Maybe you just need to find ways to pass the time better.

I'll hear suggestions. [She's not sure if she'll find what he offers new, though, consider his first action was to flirt...]

[Now, Jack, all you have to do is pretend to be a classier act than you really are. Not so hard, right?]

I've always been an explorer. I've been all over the world, in fact. [Several worlds in fact.] Of course, you can't get to any of them here, but you can always read about them. And if you find somewhere that sounds interesting, there's a good chance I may have been there.

A great explorer? Sounds like an exciting life. But there are so many worlds... are you sure about those chances?
