[Open] Catch all!

Who: Bernadetta and YOU
When: First couple of weeks in the month
Where: Various locations
What: Bernadetta is having to adjust to some new changes. It's a lot to take in! For someone who is getting smaller every day...
Warnings: Hopefully just her usual anxieties. But I'll throw up a warning for potential mentions of child abuse (she had a rough childhood) just in case. Other than that it's just body transformation things!

A. Home is where the heart is (Closed to the people she lives with at the Lions or Eagles houses)

[Those who live with Bernie may not see her that often. Which, honestly, is pretty normal! She loves to spend time in her room and keep to herself. With that said there's always food for either household and she makes sure it's well suited to individual needs. Of course she makes sure that she doesn't make a mess either. After all she doesn't want to be a rude housemate!

With that said, her housemates might notice something rather...odd. Or maybe even a few things.

For one, she's definitely been getting smaller. She'd started out at around 5'5" but now those around might notice that she's got to have shrunk...several inches. Why, she's shorter than Edelgard now!

But there's more than that. Thin, almost hairlike things are starting to stick up from her hair. She's a little self conscious about how weird they might look so she's been dodging people. That and the fact that the window in the back of her clothes is definitely showing off very noticeable nubs that indicate her incoming wings. And are her ears...pointier?

Well she can't dodge people forever. Eventually one of them will find her! Especially if she thinks she's alone and has a space to do some sewing or reading in another part of the house.]

B. Sometimes she has to get outside

[It's rare for her to go outside right now with her odd looking changes but she knows she can't hide forever. Besides, she really wants to do some painting or sewing outside! Which means that she tries to find a private but pretty location to do just that. It helps that there's a lot of gardening things going on right now which happens to be one of her favorite things in the universe.

A nice vase of flowers arranged on the ground before her as she hums to herself while she either paints it or embroiders the design of it onto fabric. She seems lost in her own little world so she's not likely to notice she has company right away.

Don't let that stop you though. She might be jumpy but friendship is good for her!]


Wildcard

[If we have other plans feel free to use this one here! Otherwise feel free to plot with me and we'll figure something else out!]

[ooc: Just a heads up that tags will be slow on weekdays because of school for this month! Still I will do my best to not keep you waiting too long! Thank you for your patience in advance!]

[Corrin hesitated before stepping into the room.]

Do you want me to go get you a bandage?

[bravelyathome]

[Bernie shakes her head and brings her finger out. Blood all gone.]

It's not the first time I've poked myself. I'll be okay. I just got a little startled. That's all!

[betweenduskanddawn]

[She nodded, considering it for a moment before letting it go. She didn't see Bernie much, and she wasn't going to pass up the chance to get to know her better.]

...Can I ask what you're making?

[She said as she walked a bit closer, coming to a stop in the middle of the room.]

[bravelyathome]

Oh. It's a face.

[She lifts it up and sure enough it's the start of what looks like maybe a doll face of some kind. On green fabric.]

[betweenduskanddawn]

[Well that sure was...a face.]

...And what's it for?

[She couldn't hide her confusion as she looked at it.]

[bravelyathome]

[Since Corrin hasn't come closer, she stays relaxed. Bernie is quite wary of her though. Especially since Edelgard told her Corrin is a lot like Caspar. She and Caspar have an understanding of how she's to be treated.

Corrin is a new factor. Is she an enemy to her peace? A warrior against gentleness? That remains to be seen...]

A doll. I wanted to make one. But it needs a face.

[betweenduskanddawn]

[Unfortunately for Bernie, Corrin does move closer then to get a better look at the face. A doll.]

I though dolls were more...fabric and stuffing?

[Corrin never really had dolls to play with. Just swords.]

[bravelyathome]

[She tenses and leans back in her chair. Oh no. Why is she coming closer? This is bad.]

They...they need faces!

[betweenduskanddawn]

[Whether came to a stop as Bernie leaned back, offering her a faint, apologetic.]

Sorry.

[Staying where she was, she let her gaze fall back onto the doll.]

I guess that makes sense. I never really had dolls, not that I remember. My first toy was a sword.

[bravelyathome]

S-swords can have faces.

[Bernie watches her, wary. Like she knows that she'll pounce any moment if she's not careful.

You can blame Edelgard for this, Corrin.]

[betweenduskanddawn]

[Corrin could see how uneasy Bernie was but didn't really know what to do about it short of just leaving...]

Where would you put a face on a sword?

[She asked instead. Maybe keeping the conversation going would help...]

[bravelyathome]

[The dangerous creature is waiting for her to relax. Then it will unleash the ultimate attack of the capture and kidnap! She'll be hauled like a sack of potatoes again.

No. She must not let her guard down. She shall not be a sack of potatoes!]

...um...

[Actually that's a good question.]

The blade? Otherwise you cover the face when you hold it. And that's just mean.

[betweenduskanddawn]

[Meanwhile there was Corrin trying to look as innocent and non-threatening as possible. She even had her hands folded behind her back.]

Mm, yeah. But if it was on the blade, it would get hit by other swords.

[bravelyathome]

But people headbutt each other. And that's your head. So it's like...a sword head...butt?

[Is that even a thing?]
