[There's a new girl in the gardens today.

It's probably easy enough to see that she's new. She's still wearing the white shift she'd awoken in, after all, apparently electing to carry her own clothes in her arms. The only change is that her hair is now tied back with a band that sparkles strangely in the light, and a battered pair of yellow sneakers protect her feet. She has her school uniform bundled under one arm, and with the other, she holds a scroll in front of her face, reading closely and determinedly as she walks through the grass and the flowers without any obvious destination in mind but a clear determination to get there.

But every so often she pauses, looks up, looks around. She sees an orchard with crisp autumn leaves in the ground, and she wants to go and jump in them. She sees a field of glistening snow, and stops herself from going to make snow angels. She comes across a riverbank heavy with the heat of summer, and shakes off the drowsy impulse to take a nap, despite the fact that traveling dimensions is hard on a kid.

And she is just a kid, still just a kid. However, she resists the temptation to play like one and, after one last look of longing towards the beauty around her, instead trudges on, reading as she walks, having no clue where she's going but determined to get there all the same.]


((ooc: Chihiro's most likely to be found not walking at the "season change" areas of the garden, but otherwise, there's a small girl still in her shift and reading her scrolls and heading somewhere. Bother?))

[Walks over, actually bored, when she spots someone new in the Gardens. By now she was pretty familiar with the people around here, so she knew when someone was just coming here. That understood, she also knew that it helped to have someone lead you through this kind of place].

Hey dude, what's up? You look a little lost!

[A stranger in a blue dress stands a bit further down at the river. She watches Chihiro's approach with wary curiosity, frozen like a deer.]

[disillusionment]

[In the orchard, the girl will spot Kyoko, resting against the trunk of a tree and munching on an apple. She seems nonchalant and possibly a bit bored.]

[histrionic]

[Kuja has settled herself in one of the Garden's warmer areas, a bright summer spot. She's reclining on a velvet cushion along with a large, silvery egg, her hands settled on the surface of it. Her fingers gleam a faint but noticeable blue.

She doesn't fail to notice Chihiro's approach, looking up without bestirring herself. An unfamiliar girl is hardly a strange sight in the Gardens. Kuja inclines her head.]

Child.
