002 💗 Finding her footing [Open]
Who: Justine & You! Yes, you! The one reading this.
When: All June.
Where: Everywhere! Specifically: Knit Wit, Beach, her cottage & at the Coven (Library or Court Yard).
What: June Catch-All; Open Prompts & Quests.
Warnings: In headers! Justine has a way of making things NSFW but that's about it. She will try to keep it tame.
i. Knit Wit
[There are times when Justine feels as if there is very little she can do to contribute to her situation but then, as if from nowhere, she finds the perfect part time work. It's a store packed with thread, yarn and tools needed for needle work. A position at a book store might be more fitting to her interests but only by a narrow margin.
Justine has an eye for beauty and detail and is eager to help anyone starting out or looking for the whatever materials they need. Knowing how to sew is a practical and widely useful skill and Justine is excited to pass on what she knows. Possibly a little too excited. Her elegant demeanor is rarely this giddy about something.
Her lips stretch into a smile as a sweet expression graces her features.] How can I help you? [Her voice is delicately sweet and polite. Justine's life has thrived because of her people skills.
She's dressed in a light blue corset with a pale cream skirt to accompany it. Given the amount of walking around the store she does, her skirt is bunched using thin strips of leather to allow her to walk while also showing a generous length of leg as well as a pair of stockings and her ornate white boots.]
ii. Magic Practice [Hocus/Pocus]
[Justine is often found researching at the Coven's library or participating in the classes that the witches have offered for beginners. She finds it easier to be in a large ground, hiding in plain sight as she struggles with her new fantastical gifts. She has the mental fortitude but nearly all of her energy is spent fighting back the darkness of her own mind and so she struggles when faced with even the most basic magical skills.
She finds it easier to control air, light or water over any of the other elements and chooses to focus on them when not studying the history of the Coven, the plants of this world or the current advancements in alchemy.
Dressed in what she considers to be combat attire, Justine stands some little ways outside the group of those practicing. Her fingers flex as she conjurors a floating orb of water. It only takes a slight mental slip for the ball of water to burst, drenching her and anyone nearby in fresh water. Justine hasn't had a lot of luck when it comes to water…
Some evenings she seems to be eyeing the temporary bonds though she keeps a distance from them as uncertainty gnaws uncomfortably inside of her. She misses the feeling of being completely entangled with another person but a part of her can't help but be scared of what weaknesses it might open her up too. Justine isn't entirely on her own but she doesn't want to lose what measure of strength she's obtained in this new world.]
iii. Sunbathing NSFW-ish
[Justine takes just as much time working to also relax.
She can be found outside of her cottage or on the beach, sprawled in a baby blue bathing suit that she'd made out of the lightest fabric she'd been able to find at Knit Wit.
She can be found lying out on a soft blanket, either on her back or on her stomach with her top off and a book balanced in her palms as dark eyes follow the lines of text. Her skin is pale as porcelain and unblemished by sun or scars. Her legs stretch out on her blanket, lean and lovely and made for things that had nothing to do with locomotion. Raven hair curls over her shoulders though Justine can be found fussing with it as she re-pins the silky strands up off of her neck.
Justine has absolutely no sense of shame but if anyone looks uncomfortable she will put her top back on. It's the polite thing to do.]
iv. Flowers, Arrangement & Flirtations
[ooc: 06/01 – 06/07 is flirting classes, and 6/15-6/18 is dancing. Justine will be at both.]
[Justine doesn't need help flirting or being overly promiscuous but she can't help but be drawn in by the lessons held at the brothels. She's curious to see who will attend and who she might be able to convince to come with her. Her voice, sweet as honey and filled with promise of innocent fun despite the location of the classes. Everyone should learn how to flirt, it's harmless fun and it is just another excuse to dress up.
Brothels don't bother Justine. She's used to them and has more than a few acquaintances and partners who work either in brothels or within the porn industry back in Chicago. It's just another part of being affiliated with the White Court.
The nightly dance classes held later in the month quickly become her favorite part of the spring events. Justine is more adamant about finding people to take to the class with her but she also arrives by herself and submits herself to the chances of a random partner. It's a fantastic way of meeting someone new.]
Wild Card

Wild Card
no subject
[Her lips pull into a warm smile as her dark hazel eyes glitter with warmth. Standing as close as they are, Akria might notice the soft forest green circling the center of her iris.]
That all sounds out of the ordinary.
[She laughs.]
I had wanted to go into the cave but I was advised against it. Are the stories true? That is, it's dangerous there and infected as well.
no subject
The warmness of her expression puts him in a good mood as well. Really, he's just pleased to see her in a much better state than their first meeting. Akira had thought about her several times since then, wanted to seek her out to see how she was, but abruptly trying to start a new life is rather time-consuming. ]
Yeah, it was. Just... not quite like the rest of the Wilde. It was strange. [ He presses his lips together a bit now, recalling the icy tunnels and giant lizard monsters and Shades inside of them, some things infected and others not. ] Hopefully the Coven can figure out why it was like that.
no subject
Justine isn't really a dancer but there is something freeing about the movements that makes her chest feel lighter and her mood brighter.]
It sounds strange. I'm glad that you're alright though I won't put so much faith in the Coven. They have enough to do with our sudden arrival and my understanding is that they're already stretched pretty thin. [She's been watching them as much as she has the untamed disease spreading through the wylds. Justine is sweet and warm when meeting strangers but she doesn't trust easily, if at all. Even among those she's met here, there are less than a handful she'd place her faith in and even fewer that she'd openly trust.]
I found someone from my world here. Time… seems to be different but it's nice to have a friend. It's helped a lot. [She'd never been particularly close to Harry but she's grateful for the familiarity of his presence. She doesn't have to preface anything with the rules and assumptions of her world. He already knows and he already knows a fair amount about her as well.]
no subject
[ A woman nearby makes a show of dipping her partner, and Akira watches with mild interest, considering it. He's confident he wouldn't drop Justine, but his feet are only just starting to find a solid rhythm.
Before he can make a decision, though, she says something that draws his interest. ]
Like they came from a different point in time? [ That sounds like exactly what happened with him and Akechi. ]
no subject
She briefly follows Akira's gaze and smiles at the dip. They can try the same motion though Justine thinks that it might be best if Akira gets comfortable with the simple movements first.]
Yes. I haven't asked him about it. I don't wish to know but I can tell that he's aged from the man I've seen last. [Even if she see's him infrequently.]
no subject
It's information that Akira files away for later, letting the contemplation melt off his expression in favor of focusing on the dance. ]
What have you been up to since then?
no subject
[Justine shakes her head and like him, focuses on following him through the dance.]
Never mind.
I've been doing a few things. Learning about runes and magic. I've never had this kind of power before and I admit, I'm not sure what to do with it. I was told I need to use it though and that's what I'm doing. [She's doing that and reading a lot.]
no subject
He offers a small smile as they continue to twirl across the floor among the other pairs. ]
If you keep learning, some idea of what you want to do with it might come up.
no subject
I love learning new things. I always have. [She laughs softly.] It might be hard to believe but I dropped out of high school. The things I've learned have been from books or experience. A close friend of mine is the one who taught me to dance and I'm learning to swim now too.
[She doesn't feel very comfortable in a classroom eques setting.]
