OPEN POST
who: Marinette AND OPEN
what: Busy girl being busy! A prompt to explore outside the wall, and a prompt inside the city
when: 11/18
where: The Park or the Perimeter Building (or anywhere else for Wildcard shenanigans)
Perimeter Guard Building
[ It isn't Ladybug loitering around the Perimeter Guard building this time, but Marinette. Who definitely isn't part of the Perimeter Guard, so maybe it's weird she's there. She wasn't looking to go inside (at the moment at least), but crouching and inspecting the contents of a bag, occasionally glancing up to look first at the sky, then giving anyone passing by a closer look, before returning her attention to the bag. ]
Hrm. Where is it, where is it...ahah! Good, it's all here! [ She stood up. ]
Now... do I go and ask for an escort or do I go out myself... [ Dilemna dilemna! Help a girl out? ]
The Park
[ One of the nice things about being in a new world - or moon so to speak - was that it had exposure to some really interesting outfits or animals. So she liked to spend her free hours at the park with her drawing pad, which she was currently using to sketch her ideas. She occasionally gave a glance up into one of the trees, pensively, before setting her pad down and getting to her feet, then wandering to said tree and - with a quick glance around - hoists herself up onto a branch, starting to scramble up into the tree. Please don't swipe her pad, she needs that for work. Feel free to ask the crazy girl what the heck she's doing though! ]
Wildcard!
[ None of these work for you? How picky! -- I mean, go ahead and toss up your own idea - call her on the network, visit her in the Communal building, etc! ]

[ There might a be certain gravity shifter stood a couple of feet away regarding Marinette with her arms folded, and a surprisingly stern look on her face. Raven had been on her way into the building to do some training when she'd overheard the little dilemma, so obviously it became her new priority. (Nothing personal, Marinette, you just look completely defenceless in your civvies!) ]
What are you doing, anyway?
no subject
O-oh! Yeah well.. yeah I mean, I just .. didn't want to get in the way. I mean, they're probably already busy from their patrols. [ She was totally not planning on going out on her own, who her? Crazy talk.
It's okay though Raven. Marinette cultivates the 'defenseless squishy normal human' look to an art. Though Keith has been training her somewhat, so she's not a -total- pushover ... just...mostly. At least as her cute squishy,
SquishinetteMarinette self. ]Well I was thinking of heading out past the wall to explore a little, get some inspiration. I have kind of an artistic block, you could say.
no subject
They'd be busier if you got into trouble on your own out there; it's a lot harder to rescue someone if you don't know where they are. [ Her tone's softer, at least? Still lecture-y, but not quite as stern as it could be. Probably something to do with this finely perfected
Squishinettedefenceless civilian cover Marinette's got going on. ][ An artist, huh? Raven would probably say it's a bad idea and send Marinette packing if there wasn't something weirdly nostalgic about drawing that makes her happy and peaceful all at once. Too bad she totally sucks at it. ] ... I'll escort you, if you want.
no subject
Really? You wouldn't mind?
no subject
[ Raven's... actually smiling at that. Maybe it's the idea of a plain old human thinking they can outrun any and all trouble they might face outside of the wall? Orrr maybe there's still a reckless youth inside that Big Sis shell somewhere (deep, deep down) that can relate? Either way she shifts to a more casual stance, finished with her lecture. ]
The name's Raven, and you are?
no subject
Marinette. [ She offered a hand, smiling. ] Nice to meet you Raven, and thanks~!
no subject
Likewise. [ She takes the offered hand, giving it a shake. ] So, Marinette... where are we headed?
no subject
[ ... uuuuuuusually. She has been known to wander further of course. More exotic (and dangerous) beasties tend to lurk out that way though, and she didn't want to put anyone at risk unnecessarily. ]
no subject
[ Raven's been beyond the wall a few times since her arrival, but this'll be her first time playing escort here. Luckily she's got Xii on her side (or circling above, if you want to get into the semantics) so they should be fine even in the unlikely event that they do run into trouble! ]
All set?

the park!
Are you sure you want to leave this here?
Re: the park!
Oh hey! I figured it'd be fine - I'm not really leaving it - I just wanted to try and get a better look from up here. [ And no one had been around at the time. ]

I've been watching the birds from this nest for the last little while, and they appear to have abandoned it. [ Possibly because they didn't like being spied on. ] But they left some feathers behind.
[ Also heads up because Marinette's gonna hop down out of said tree and she doesn't want to accidentally knock into you. ]
no subject
Why do you want the feathers? Were they special birds or something?
no subject
No, but sometimes I can get lucky and find a feather in good enough condition that I can use for some of my designs - and it just so happens that the feathers I found are perfect to use.
[ She holds her hand out carefully to show the colorful feathers that had been left behind. Two are very vibrant blue feathers, and one is grey with a black trim on the edges. ]
no subject
no subject
Of course~! [ She didn't mind someone touching the feathers. ] They're smoother than they look.

He jogs slowly over to said tree and looks up to see that it was indeed the one and the same, looking just as she said she would. Save for the tree.]
I'm not sure what I'm more impressed with: your drawings or your flexibility.
no subject
Ash, right? Hold on, I'll be right down. [ She nabs something she was looking for, about to jump down - then rethinks it and carefully lowers herself from the branch instead, grinning. ]
Ah, well it's easier going up than coming down. [ At least when she's pretending to be a normal person. ]
But thanks. I spend a lot of time working up the designs and .. unfortunately a lot of the time I end up changing what I started on to improve on it.
no subject
Sounds about right for an artist. Is that what you did back home?
no subject
I made this outfit myself. I actually make most of my own clothes and things. Accessories too.
no subject
Say, would you maybe be up for making me something? I still have some money left to pay you with.
no subject
Of course, I have plenty of time. [ Which is rare, she usually takes on multiple projects. ]
What do you have in mind?
no subject
The vest should be...green.
no subject
Okay, that's simple enough. What kind of material? Satin, silk, velvet..? Or just a sort of polyester, cotton blend?
[ She jots a few notes down. ]
That shouldn't take too long to sort out. You'll have to come in for a fitting of course, if you don't mind. But later, I mean, after I've got it pretty much pieced together.
Anyway! You wanted a tour, right? [ They could still discuss the outfit while walking, but she didn't want him to feel he'd wasted his time missing out on the actual tour part. ]
