[open] why don't you stay here after hours?

WHO: Storm agoddessonce
WHEN: Stonhyrr, Bad Kids Compound, Harry's Hideaway
WHAT: Ororo is wandering the archipelago! In many cases she's literally flying or just dropping down from the sky, so feel free to be surprised by the pseudo-goddess coming down from on high.
NOTES\WARNINGS: None atm. A bit of alcohol.



There are a few new places that pique Ororo's interest when she leaves the Institute for some exploration. She'd promised to visit these but never got around to them - and she figures, it's better to be late than never to arrive at all.

STONHYRR

First on her list is the ominous looking fortress surrounded by terrible weather. While it's sorely tempting to calm the storm that clouds Stonehyrr, she only gives the thunder a gentle pull and tug to allow herself entry. She has learned to respect another's magic! So she makes her way in and lands wherever is appropriate for a guest, rather than coasting over to the closest open window to do further exploration on her own.

Still, that means waiting a little for the inhabitants to find and acknowledge her. She hopes they do - and if they do not, she's going to find a door or shut window to knock on.

"Cid?" She calls out, if all else fails. "I've brought drinks, if you would share them with me."

(It's beer. She's brought him some beer.)

BAD KIDS COMPOUND

Another place - or another person she'd wanted to come and see lived in a place surprisingly familiar to her. It wasn't familiar in the sense that she recognized it - but its opulence and grandness reminded her rather sharply of the grounds that the mansion used to be on. The Institute as it was here in Etraya was a little simpler. So she spends about half an hour simply circling around the whole compound, particularly over the ship-shaped manor before she starts to descend and finally drop onto a neat landing in front of the building closest to the gate.

She should probably knock on this door, but her eyes keep straying back to the ship because... it's very odd looking, isn't it?

HARRY'S HIDEAWAY

Her last stop on most evenings is still Harry's. An old habit, and an attempt at finding something that was familiar, but also quiet. The Institute and its residents are wonderful reminders of a time long past - but sometimes remembering that time is a little painful. Things were so different. Not simple, but... different.

She gets the same beer every night she's here at Harry's and always makes sure to turn the jukebox on for something slow and blues-y. If someone joins her, she flashes them a warm little smile and offers them her hand to take. She's not even tipsy, but having a drink always puts her in the mood for dance.

"Music like this does not call for anything complex, really. All you have to do is... sway."

WILDCARD

And anywhere else! Find her flying, or landing on a patch of open street or ground after a flight!

... Yes, she is indeed looking at the building-that-is-not-the-boat. She tilts her head to the side, a little puzzled at the statement.

"I am here at said building, yes. The front door is shut, and it is not usually polite to go into another's home without permission... Unless this is a way to tell me to find a different way in?"

Not unheard of! Perhaps there was a secret entrance of some sort?

"No," the voice says flustered, quickly. "Uh, it's, well, it's more that..."

The voice trails, just for a moment.

"Uh, I don't think Riz is in, but I, do you... do you wanna wait? That's his office, but, I don't know that he'd like someone being there without him, but, I... I would give you permission to stay at the boat house until he comes back? I'll-- I guess I'm there, too."

He guesses. Technically, he is! But he should also do more than exist, right...
