🧙 WHO: Colette Brunel & Open
⚔️️ WHAT: Catch-All? Arrival and such?
🕒 WHEN: February
🗺️ WHERE: Around in general?
⚠️ WARNINGS: Not off of the top of my head necessarily?

Arrival:

a: [Colette is used to falling. She does it all the time back home after all in tripping over....well. Air. Basically. But still. What she is surprised about is that she can actually cry out as she falls? Considering she lost her voice during her Journey in transforming into an Angel and all. Which. Apparently her wings don't work here either. She finds out rather quickly in attempting and failing to use them as she falls and goes down splashing into the lake.

The moment she is able to in surfacing from the water, as she wrings her clothes out in some attempt to dry them, she instinctively tries to call out for her friends. After all they had just been there, back home.]

....Lloyd? Lloyd?! Ah! I....I can speak again....? But how...?

[Her gaze lowers or at least attempts to in her hand raising to her neck, where there's a bright red jewel at her necklace there. It had all started with the Cruxis Crystal after all. Her being Chosen. Getting the blessings, the gifts from the Angels. In her having lost her voice in the process of her transformation. She's not sure what to make of it. Being able to actually speak again. Her mind flashes back to what she last recalls back home. Had it worked then? She isn't sure, given she then found herself falling....wherever this was. She glances around for her friends and companions, but doesn't immediately see them. Instead, she starts to head to the cliffs in following the others, figuring perhaps they know where they were going?]

b:

[Colette follows the others, and can probably be heard at least twice if not more in apologizing to the cliff beast for her tripping and falling, needing to be caught as she somehow ends up tripping over the edge as they make their way with the cliffs.

But once they make it to the cliffs proper and find the caravan and all, she will seem rather excited at finding.....a Protozoan? Noishe? Well. It isn't. Actually. But Colette doesn't necessarily know that and initially automatically assumes it is her friend's pet 'dog'. (Spoilers. It is. Not a dog.) Colette rushes over when she sees her new familiar.]

Noishe? But if you're here, where's Lloyd? He has to be around somewhere if you are! Wait.....something's different.....you're not.....?

[Her familiar shakes her head, giving a whine.]

Oh! Then....I can name you? You're.....mine?

[Colette asks, eyes widening when there's a nod in response.]

Oh, I have to think of a good name for you then!

c:

[Colette. Has no idea on phones. They don't have the most advanced technology or magi-tech in Sylvarant, being the declining world with less mana supply and all. So of course she is bewildered with the phone when given one. She's blinking at it with wide blue eyes, trying to go over the instructions in how to use it. She probably isn't at least initially using the headphones though. She's still figuring it all out yet.]

Ah! It did something! I think it worked!

[Did....something? She. She turned it on. She is so excited about that though as it starts up!]

I did it!

[Yes. She turned it on. It's. A start?]

Inn:

[Once they actually get there, to the inn to stay, Colette isn't necessarily expecting just one bed. Or that it is decorated like this with the rooms? She has no idea about Valentines though so she might just be rather confused about the decorations and the one bed when they are apparently supposed to share?

Also while entering she. She may have uh. Accidentally made a Colette-shaped hole in the wall in tripping. Oops? (Yeah, that happens sometimes. A decently regular thing. Totally normal, nothing to see here.) So. When someone else enters she might be a little sheepish and just. Immediately apologize about that?]

Ah, are you who I'm supposed to share with? I'm sorry! About....

[Gesturing to the hole in the wall.....]

Training:

[Well, she got used to figuring her Angelic abilities back home? Surely, Colette could handle this? She just isn't immediately sure on her newfound abilities with Light Magic yet. But she goes to try learn, to figure it out. Eventually as she practices though....

There's a sudden, brief moment when she manages to summon a small ball of light at her palm.]

Oh! I did something! A light! I guess this makes up for me not seeing as well as I used to.

Sync or Swim:

[Colette, for her part, does still have certain things she is quieter on. Namely what the end of her Journey is supposed to entail. So. When the tent shuts and she feels compelled to say something, she is decidedly not expecting.....]

The Journey of Regeneration I go on, to become an Angel, to restore Sylvarant, my home, will come with my sacrificing myself.

[Maybe that seems. Obvious. To most, what with the idea of Angels being rather otherworldly and decidedly not human, which Colette still physically appears to be at least. But. Colette has only confided that in Raine back home. Her hands raise to cover her mouth as her eyes widen in surprise at her suddenly saying something like that.]

[The Hellhound observed Colette curiously, tilting her head at the joy in her face.

Mukuro reached up and gave her familiar a gentle pet on the side of her neck.]

...Be nice, okay, Fenrir?

[With the assurance, the Hellhound - Fenrir - sat down by them, letting the embers die down enough that she could be given fuss. She acted stoic as always, but at least seemed receptive of attention.]

Fenrir? That's their name?

[Of course Colette is focused on the familiar. The.....well, it was kind of a dog of sorts, anyway. Just rather different from the usual ones she saw back home is all. Still, Colette does seem happy to crouch down and tentatively reach to pet Fenrir if the hound allows, giving a small smile and trying to not be too gleeful about it.]

Yeah, she's called Fenrir. She's been with me since I got here, she's a good girl.

[Pets! Fenrir tried to maintain her usual detached demeanour, calmly observing Colette... but from the enthusiastic wagging of her tail, she very much approved of the fussing.]

Fenrir! What a good girl! Look at you, I've never seen a dog like you before!

[Yup. As if anyone that knows her would be surprised Colette is all about the dog. All excited to meet and pet the dogs and cooing at them. At least this one already has a name so Colette won't name it something like Caramel or whatever.

Because yup, she would easily and happily just pet the dogs all day if allowed. She absolutely would.]

Neither had I until I came here...like, seriously, I think she's a Hellhound or something. Dogs and wolves are totally the best, right?

[If she'd known about Colette's habit of naming dogs, she would have asked her advise before deciding on one herself! All the same, though, she was glad to see her familiar getting some TLC.

Fenrir was looking very proud of herself with all the attention, leaning over to sniff at Colette's hands before giving her an approving lick.]

Hehe, I think she likes you.

A Hellhound? So that's the sort of dog she is?

[Or wolf? Colette isn't exactly entirely sure given she hasn't come across a creature like this before. She's just enjoying this moment in getting to make new canine friends! And meeting Mukuro of course. Colette gives a light giggle at the licking, giving a smile in response.]

Looks like it!

Yeah! Like...they're normally associated with the underworld and stuff, but she's pretty friendly. She looks scarier than she is, you know?

[Yup Fenrir definitely considered this girl a friend. She was giving her much fuss!]

My name's Junko Enoshima. It's nice to meet you~

Junko! Nice to meet you too! Ah, I'm Colette. Colette Brunel.

[She belatedly introduces herself too. Since she doesn't think she actually had yet, distracted as she is with the Hellhound and all. She keeps petting Fenrir as she listens to the other, tilting her head as she listens and notes about the underworld? These things seem different to what she learned back home, given she grew up with the Church of Martel.]

The underworld?

Yeah, nice to meet you too Colette! And I can tell Fenrir's happy too!

Come to think of it, did you get a familiar when you woke up here?

[And uhh...then she got that question.]

How to put it... like, depending who you ask, it's supposed to be the land of the dead. Hellhounds like this are either meant to guard it or like, hunt down lost souls and stuff.

Me? Oh, um. Yes! I haven't named them yet, but I don't think it's Noishe from home exactly. Different personality.

[Noishe was generally friendly enough. Just scared with regards to the monsters and creatures they came across that he would more likely flee than help defend them against the creatures.

She listens, unsure exactly what to make of this.]

Eh? Lost souls.....?

Makes...sense? What sort of creature is it then?

[No one ever said the afterlife was an easy thing to explain.]

Well, like... people who've died but haven't moved on or whatever, you know?

Kinda like me I guess-

But yeah basically they're supposed to be bad omens or whatever, but I think she's pretty cute all the same!

It's....well. Lloyd always said Noishe was just a dog. But he is different to other dogs. I've never met another like him before.

[Even Colette, at this earlier canon point, has no idea on Noishe being a Protozoan. Basically. But it's fine. It's a dog like creature and that means she loves them. She gives a shrug, tilting her head as she listens.]

A bad omen? But she doesn't seem bad to me.

[Colette....is clearly the most biased though. With anything relating to dogs. She just loves them way too much!]

Well...a lot of dogs can look pretty different right? Wouldn't be able to say without meeting him though.

And I know right? Fenrir's a good girl.

There are so many different breeds! I'm not sure how I could choose just one if I were to get my own. I mean. Besides getting the familiar here.

[Even then. Given how close she is with Lloyd it might not be that surprising she gets a Protozoan like Noishe herself. Colette gives a smile, scritching behind Fenrir's ears. She's never been able to resist crouching down and petting dogs. Fenrir is no exception to that. It's just this time she doesn't have to come up with a name herself.]

Such a good girl!

I mean there's no reason you have to just pick one, right??

[No such thing as too many doggos!

And yes Fenrir knows she's a good girl thank you please keep giving her all of the fuss.]

So how've you been finding this whole magic thing? It wasn't like, a thing where I was from, so it's all pretty new.

Edited 2021-03-10 20:09 (UTC)

Just one to start with might be a better idea. I've never had a pet myself before.

[She was only expected to live till sixteen. Of course she wasn't exactly absolutely showered with gifts and pets and treats considering. Colette would have felt bad if she had had to leave a pet behind for her Journey. Expecting others to care for it in her absence and such. Still, she gives a nod at the question on magic.]

It's different to back home too. Back home it was more....my Cruxis Crystal, the abilities the Angels gifted me on my Journey. Here, there are so many different kinds of magic!

But if you got like, two, they could play with each other too, right?

[...Well that was an explanation sure.]

Uhh... Cruxis Crystal? Some kinda magic gem I'm guessing? And- wait, Angels are an actual thing??

They could! Yes.

[She might have more trouble walking two. Then again. Noishe was huge and they managed with him (okay more like....he walked them in them riding on his back but still.) She gives a pause at the question, a hand raising to her necklace with the particular red gem - her Cruxis Crystal, giving a nod.]

Yes. This here. And yes, Angels are real. Or at least. In my home they were.

[She squinted at the gem a moment. I mean, it looked like a normal crystal to her, but then again...]

Guessing it lost all its power here like we did, huh?

So, like, do angels literally look like those paintings of really pretty people with big feathery wings- or is it more like otherworldly beings with loads of eyes and junk?

[Mukuro don't be rude.]

Mm. It looks like it, I think. But ah, well. My wings looked different to Remiel's....his were like that though, all huge and white feathers. Mine were more like a...what's the colour? Like a pink with purple? Fushia maybe? But really, aside from the wings we look human.

[At least. She did. Remiel did. So this is just going off of her own experience with the one other Angel she was aware of that she met. Since she has no idea yet about Kratos and hasn't actually met Zelos yet for example. So she only has a smaller sample size with this but from what she knows at least. This early on, anyway. It seems to be the case. She just figures the other is curious, not that it is mean or malicious in these questions, at least. As she sits and pets Fenrir and chats.]

Huh...weird. Pink and purple sounds totally pretty though. Did you guys have like any special powers or whatever? Other than magic crystals I mean.

[She was definitely curious! Angels weren't a thing in her world, after all.

Fenrir on the other hand was happy for the fuss, even rolling over so she could get a belly rub.]

Hm. It depends. The Professor and Genis are elves so they live longer and can use different magic.

[Genis with his more elemental sort of style of magic in his attacks. Raine with her healing and her more light and barrier based abilities. Colette just hasn't necessarily had to explain it to someone like this before. People back home knew about elves. About Exsphere's, with the human ranches and them eventually learning the truth around how those special crystals were made.

Fenrir is just going to get all the belly rubs now. All of them, as Colette giggles as she rubs the tummy.]</small But as a general rule, most don't have any powers or anything.
