Stray Chips of Stone (Closed except by Invite)

[Yuki Ookami]

Yuki opens her eyes slowly. She had held them closed so hard that colors and spots dance in her blurred vision. She sees Franky and sees Franky look intently at her grinning slightly. She looks down toward her lap and notices a change in colors, and fabric,.....and outfits.

"Hey...I was just thinking about...."

She stops as she sees her hands. She tuns them over. Then back around.

"Oh my god.....I'm back!"

She look back up to Franky. Her excitement unable to be contained.

"Thank you soooo much."

She stands up to move around and cheer. Her sun dress floats on the self created breeze as she moves around. Why she's wearing the same dress that creped into her thoughts makes her pause but only for a brief moment. As she continues dancing.

"This is fantastic. I thought I would never...I mean I almost forgot how it felt.....Thank you so much! Your the best."

She stops jumping as a dark thought crosses her mind.

"Franky....um how long will this last? i mean......When the clock strikes midnight will I turn back?"

[FrancisCross]

Franky gave a snort, "Into what? A pumpkin?"

She shook her head. "No, that should last. It's not a polymorph kind of thing, it's really more of a self-image in reposte kind of thing. Although I gotta admit, the sundress has me a little stumped. Not sure I planned for that one."

"Anyway, that should keep your physical form in check, well, at least until you have another freak-out anyway. But what about these things that are after you? Demon things you said? What are they supposed to be?"

Folding the book carefully back together, Franky took a moment to douse the lantern and pack the book away in her backpack.
