dance with the Balamb fish (BATHzone)

[pinwheels]

[ Word spreads quickly in a place like the Void, and before long she's standing out the front of the newly-named BATHzone with wet hair and a fresh set of clothing. Her investigation of the new game machines went largely without a hitch. She's an heiress after all and the daughter of a musician to boot; rhythm comes naturally, and once she understood how the game worked, her shower operated perfectly.

Of course, the same clearly cannot be said of some of the people still inside. She can hear sounds of frustration echoing from inside the building, and while there are some who clearly take to the new system in the same way or even better than she did, the sound tells her that the same is not true for everyone.

Which gives her an idea.

So when a bedraggled-looking person or two drag themselves out of the bathhouse, the frustration written all over their faces, Rinoa steps forward to meet them with a smile. ]

Looks like it might be time for a dancing lesson~!

[ Oh, and good luck saying no. Once Rinoa's set her sights on you, you're officially her next project. ]

where I belong (Mortis Lake)

[pinwheels]

[ It's not that she's specifically hoping for another star to drop right out of the sky and into her lap - she's honestly quite happy with the one she has in a clear glass container in her room, illuminating its surroundings in a soft light. (She's even happy with the bite taken out of it by the resident hashihime; it makes it even more of a conversation piece than it already is.) And as far as she's concerned, it would be selfish of her to steal the wishes from even more stars as they streak across the sky, especially when everyone here has wishes of their own they'd like granted.

She does like to watch them, though. And if others happen to pass by when she sees them fall, she greets them, tells them that there's a wish waiting to be had so it doesn't go to waste.

Perhaps that's how she greets you today, with a bright smile and her index finger pointing at the sky. Or perhaps you spy her first, sitting amongst the grass in its everchanging cycle, looking up at the inky black color in contented wonder. ]

my mind (Shrine Bridge)

[pinwheels]

[ Others have told her that friends tend to come and go from the Void. Until now, though, she hasn't experienced the loss for herself; she's known people that are no longer here, but they've been acquaintances, people she's met in passing. Or in at least one case, people she would rather not remember.

But this...

She's looked everywhere, but Parsee is nowhere to be found.

Parsee is her friend. She's the first person Rinoa met in the Void, too. Despite everything, they've become important to one another. And beyond her own selfish reasons? Parsee has told her more than once before that the Void is in a lot of ways better than the world from which she originally came. It's not fair that she should be dragged back to it, right?

But it's her third trip back to the shrine today and it's still as empty of her friend as it has been the whole time. The anxiety and upset is clear on Rinoa's face as she sits on the bridge, looking over the area with a small sigh. ]
