04:00 🎨 open for now

[likememore]

Who: Ena Shinonome and probably you!
What: Someone pushed herself at the Unbirthday party, met up with a couple people she's been sorely missing, and made a couple big decisions that have seriously unbalanced her. She needs to reset a little. Unfortunately, the Hearts Aflame Faire draws ever nearer, and public events in Rosavelle tend to lead to Ena getting drawn into something...
When: March, mid-month until the Hearts Aflame Faire, possibly stretching into it.
Where: Check individual thread headers! All over the place.
Warnings: Probably nothing? I'll let you know.

((I am cutting everything older than Budwake for my sanity! I'm also trying to keep a relatively light load going into the Faire because I'm certain I'm going to end up with a bunch of threads in there. Still, if you want to plot something or want a starter, grab me in the Discord or at eternities and we'll work something out!))

catching my good side | Primavain and Marelys, mid-March

Hey! You, over there! Wouldn't you like a sketch to remember your Courtship Games? I'm not charging- well, unless you ask me for something crazy.

[Ena is, to some extent, participating in the Games herself, but after a tumultuous first couple weeks of March, she's also... letting herself take a bit of a breather. She desperately needs to calm her heart and reset herself a little, and that's brought her out with her easel, a couple sketchbooks, and (just in case) a few canvases and her paints, calling out to passers-by. In the interest of a fresh start, she's taken Simran's fashion advice, and she's dressed in a yet-pristine set of white overalls over a dark-brown shirt, a fresh set of not-quite-sneakers, and a new pair of earrings she made herself - a little rough, but plenty serviceable - in silver with little chips of a purple gemstone. That's accessorized with something else new: a long, thin tail, solid enough through Meramancy, translucent apparently on purpose and seemingly controlled with a thought, with just a little practice under her belt as it swishes with her mood.

If she sees someone she knows, her pitch changes a bit, switching to something a bit warmer as her tone becomes a little more tired and something in her posture seems to get a little more careworn:]

Oh, hi! Have a minute to catch up? I'm just- trying to work on some Bloomcraft to get my mind off some stuff.

[ Oh, this may have been unintentionally timed all too perfectly... because right now, she's wearing the outfit she got from Simran. The frilly, sweet-but-practical outfit—a pleasant cream skirt with ruffles around the belt, a set of boots with gorgeous bows, a white top with sheer sleeves pink bows in the cuffs to match those on the boots, and a set of dark leggings with a floral pattern stitched in. It's so absurdly cute that Artoria's embarrassed just wearing it, but she's trying to get used to it... ]

E-Eh?! Me?! W-Wait, I'm not ready for that yet...!

[ Talk about nerves... Artoria's cheeks are bright red. ]
