We Are Our Avatars X (Closed, Ended)

Timea, indeed, wasn't paying attention to the mud she was getting covered with.

Timea didn't dare try to help pull Hillary out as she grabbed on to her, thinking it would hurt Hillary in her current state. "You're doing good. Just a little further."

 

[Slenn]

"Mmmm." She nodded as she entered the city.

"There must be a vendor close by that sells cold weather gear." She said, looking for such a vendor.

 

[Gearhead mk2]

"Maybe there's a market." Robin sensed the surrounding streets, and if there was one he'd lead EMily to it. "Anything in particular? I'm hoping I can just get this fur lined." Robin shrugged his own coat.

 

[Zepherus14]

Hillary sounded like she was trying quite hard to pull herself out, having to really pull herself up from time to time. Hillary's thigh would then appear out of the mud pit, or at least what looked like it given her proportions. She'd slowly pull herself out more and more, looking quite a bit like her sand from, or more gloopy. Even once she was out of the mud for the most part, she still clung quite close to Timea.

EMily would see a clothing store which, if she looked inside, she would notice stocked fur coats. As before, they were brown, grey and white.

Timea would continue to hold on to Hillary as she moved to climb out of the hole, to keep her from sinking further in. Once Hillary climbed out of the hole, Timea blew a relieved sigh, and moved one hand away from Hillary to deactivate the fire. After this, she moved her right arm around Hillary's waist, and placed the left against the side of her head, in both cases, applying next-to-no pressure.

"Shh... . It's okay now, you're safe... ", she said softly.

 

[Slenn]

"Well, I liked the furry and fluffy ones the best."

The presence of the store caught her attention. "Oh, there's one." She pointed over yonder to the clothing store. Looking at some of the items being displayed, she commented: "Well, it doesn't look like much of a choice, but I like the white one."

She nodded her head as she proceeded to enter the store.

 

[Silence]

Anik had an incredibly worrying look on her face, as she finally could break herself away from the thoughts how she did not exactly know what was going on, and could therefore not help and was useless.
"What did happen? I only got half a picture, here. Are you alright, Hillary?" she said.

 

[Gearhead mk2]

Robin entered as well, picking up a black one and idly wondering if they sold dyes.

 

[Zepherus14]

"I-I thought it was gonna pull me in!" Hillary whimpered, her voice sounding quite phlemy. If that was from her crying or her just being made of mud, they couldn't be sure. She would stay close to Timea however, the hug doing an impeccable job at calming her down, although she wasn't anywhere near the point where she'd want to let go.

 

[Silence]

North Eastern Road - Day 3 - 15:09

Sensing Hillarys fading panic, Anik tried not to tear up as well, because she definitely did not want this to happen. She went over to her and Timea, but then hesitated to touch Hillary to get her to calm down more. She said: "... did you walk into the mud puddle? Was there no option to try it only with a hand first? ... In what cases do you change?" in a calming tone which did not reflect the factual questions she asked.

Robin would find no dyes in the store, just various types of clothes. In addition to the fur coats, there were also hats lined with fur and including earflaps which could be tied together over the head, similar to an ushanka.

Timea continued holding Hillary, starting to gently sway her about. As Hillary spoke, Timea had to run the sentence through her head a couple of times, to make sure she heard things right, having some trouble understanding with Hillary's phlemy voice.

She didn't say anything for the moment, letting Anik speak. Timea noticed Anik struggled to keep herself from becoming emotional, as well, noticing while looking to her with a sideways glance, but didn't say anything about it.

 

[Gearhead mk2]

Robin took one of the hats, testing it and liking the fluffiness on his ears. He looked for the shopkeeper.

 

[Zepherus14]

Hillary would progressively calm down more and more as she was slowly rocked back and forth. Eventually she'd stop whimpering as she held onto Timea, although most of her face was buried into Timea's shoulder by her own doing. It was worth noting Hillary hadn't changed into Timea's skin or the like, meaning she probably had taken on some mud when she'd slipped in.

 

[Silence]

North Eastern Road - Day 3 - 15:09

Hearing no answer, Anik left it at that, but felt increasingly more useless. She went back to her bag, took off coat and gloves for the moment, and stuffed her stuff back into it. Then she said quietly towards Hillary and Timea: "We should probably move on. How long do you need?"

 

[Slenn]

EMily picked out a white fluffy coat along with hat and mits. She waited for Robin to fetch the shopkeep.

 

[ShindoL Shill]

Meltha - Day 3 - 15:27

Robin and EMily would find that the shopkeeper was behind the counter, where one would expect them to be.

 

[Gearhead mk2]

Robin took his coin purse out of his bag, careful not to disturb Aqua, and began sorting his coin. "How much?"

 

[username sucks]

Meltha

Aqua was totally disturbed by Robin's movement. Yup.
