oh well I saw you at the doctor's, waiting for a test
Who: Aranea Highwind, ???
Where: various
When: May
What: A catch-all
Warnings: none – will update if needed
[Open]
[ Early in the month, her time is taken up by finally setting up the... surprising stock that was delivered to Britches and Hose. She makes an effort to keep things tasteful, at least; shuffling of shelves and the addition of a folding screen to section off the collection of sex toys from the rest of the merchandise, so that people who are just there for pajamas or a sports bra don't suddenly get an eyeful of more than they bargained for. It's a display area more than anything else; one of everything on the shelves, all numbered so people can make a discreet request at the counter and have it brought to them if they're feeling shy. Further into the month the class factor is probably lowered at least a little by the proprietor's black eye, the angry purple-red of it shading through blue and green to a sickly yellow as it heals, like the world's crappiest mood ring.
After the Mayor's little announcement, the accompanying memories, and one very busy day for those trying to keep the network clean of subversion, she leaves the store to her staff more frequently. On those days she's in the bookstore, with an increasing look of frustration as she searches through books and publication dates, with occasional glances to a plasticky card she keeps mostly tucked into shoulder bag. Looking for something and clearly not finding it. Or very occasionally just at home, where anyone who comes calling might catch a glimpse of the cb radio she hauls out occasionally to flick through the channels and find – so far – nothing of importance. But on the days she's in the store, a small sign appears in suggestive proximity to the Official Notices:
Questions? We're happy to talk.
The rest of her time is given to checking in with people she knows. Social calls, except that the most likely topic of conversation is that something in this town is rotten and the stink is starting to be unavoidable. ]

The store gets a cursory glance around, Ignis noting how things have moved around whereas other things have stayed put. It seemed that change was on the horizon whether they liked it or not and he wonders if that's an omen for anything in this strange place or not. Doubtful. Flits of fancy aren't his style and Ignis takes another quick look around before speaking up. They weren't really cousins, Ignis knows that much but at the same time those fake memories are still there and right now it's better to keep allies than make enemies.]
Aranea?
eyyyy
Ignis. Hey. What's up?
yooo
Maybe it's just best to get rid of the behemoth in the room.]
Should we be concerned about the other guy?
no subject
He's still alive enough to regret it, don't worry. C'mon, you know if I had a body to hide you'd be the first call I made.
