Kohaku

[Kohaku has been quiet for a while. She's been in the forest most of the time, to find new things, and animals, but most notably can currently be seen from her journal. Placed at just the right distance away from a new and very pretty tree she found. (Though with a few less colors.) But the silence is broken soon by her laughing. This is something very new to her, even if other people can't hear it, it looks so new.

And the amazement is quite clear in her voice.]

I've seen so many plants before, but this is the first one that I've ever found to have more than one personality!

...I have no idea how I'm supposed to talk to it though...Talking to more than one plant at a time is already confusing enough...


[Then much later in the day-]

Uhm...I've been avoiding asking this for a long time, but...is there anyone that would be willing to teach me how to swim? I've never been in a lot of water, but I always hear that it's a lot of fun...

And it seems a little strange to be so old and have never tried it before...though I haven't tried a lot of things.

Maybe it might be a good idea to make a list of things I should try some day...
 
...

...That would be a really long list...

I've been here so long, and I should've wondered this before...does anyone know just how high up the barrier goes? It's not very important, but it  sounds like a good question...maybe I should've tried it.

Oh...and Okita...I found a cat...I was wondering if I could keep her. [She has to ask...there are already a few animals in the house.


Later in the day Kohaku can be found on a bench in the middle of town, but she's not alone. Wrapped up in a scarf that's in her lap is indeed, a fluffy little white kitten. Luckily she knows enough about cats so she doesn't need to ask anyone how to take care of them. So she can be seen happily giving it small bites of cheese.

And if anyone around during one awkward moment, well...her face just say's 'something is wrong'.

Why?

Well she finally got the guts to take a bite of cheese. One she specifically found only made out of cheese and minerals. And after going 300 years of only having milk and honey...well, it tastes weird, and she doesn't know how to react...it's a miracle she doesn't look sick.]


Much later in the day, she returns to her journal]

Just...what is cheese supposed to taste like..?

[Today was as good of a day as it can get for Kohaku to be out. But today she's doing something new. There are still quite a few trees with leaves on them, and she's decided to help them out a little. From morning to mid-day people will be able to see something interesting at the very least.

Every tree around town with a bit too many leaves left Kohaku can be spotted as close to the middle of the tree as possible, and instantly every single leaf that's ready to come off the tree will puff right out and fall to the ground without the tree even moving. But don't worry about them leaving a big mess, a gust of wind will bring them all back to the base of the tree, nice and neat. Since she would've felt horrible if she had to harvest any of the food people were, this is the most she can do.


Later in the day though she can be found seriously staring down two foods in particular. Given that's she's never even really looked at any food other than milk and honey, she doesn't have a clue about ingredients, let alone know that they're even there. Which is why she's staring food down for a long while before going to her journal.]

...This may seem like a strange question, but I've been thinking about it for a long time.

What's added to milk to make cheese and yogurt?

[Kohaku has been quiet for a decent amount of time to think. And with all that time to think, comes with thinking about everything that happened the first time she was here. With that time today, she props her journal sets for the journal by a nearby tree, knowing that it's on, but says nothing for a few minutes. It's almost impossible for her to ask this question...She won't talk too loud, but it's enough for people to hear her.]

Is it...Would it be considered strange for a person that can only fall in love once, for any sort of reason...to fall in love here, then back at home? I've been thinking about it for a while. Every way I think about it, it sounds like it shouldn't happen...

Oh, uhm...I may not have asked that right...if you have any questions about it, just ask.

...I know it's a weird question...maybe I shouldn't have asked...

[She honestly expects no one will answer, so she picks up her journal, and that's when she starts walking around town. But not in any normal sense of the word. Today, she actually looks more like an angel. Wings and floating around. (Though sometimes taking a random step, but that doesn't do anything. It just makes her look a little odd.

But while not in town, she can be found hopping over the bridge, and if not seeing her then, she can be found on the outside of the bridge, making ice swirls with any water she can pick up and set on the edge of the bridge.]
 

[In this morning, it's quite easy to spot Kohaku up in a tree. With all the leaves missing, she can sit further to the top...just to stare at the sky. It's not easy to get much sunlight on days like this, which makes Kohaku sleepy, and quite hungry, and it being Winter, her least favorite time of the year isn't very helpful at all. Sadly it something not even milk or honey can fix. Though she isn't complaining. She's quite happy to sit in a tree for an hour or two. She has someone to talk to, after all.


Close to the middle of the day, even Kohaku can get bored, and wanting to start asking questions.]

I'm curious. Some things in my world seem so different than others, and I've found a few things that no one else can do. So does anyone have something from their world, that only they can do, or use? I know I can't be the only one.


[Later in the day, at first glance Kohaku seems to be laying flat on the ground, right in a pile of snow. On a closer examination, she's hovering quite a few inches off it, and carefully drawing pictures in the snow with her fingers. It's quite an interesting, yet very odd sight.] 

[Early this nice morning, Kohaku had woken up very confused, with a whole jumble of new-ish memories. She didn't even start to walk around until she figured out how to make new holes in the back of her clothes again. But once she did, she found herself looking around the forest looking like a kid on Christmas morning. Oddly excited, oh so very curious, but very, very lost and confused. And instead of trying to remember anything so suddenly, she looks up to the tree she had been placed under.]

Might you know why I'm here? [The journal may not pick up any other sound than the wind, but Kohaku got one loud and clear.] Oh...that sounds familiar...Thank you.

[Once she got her answer, nothing else is heard over the journals. Instead she has started to roam, and memories of the forest had mostly came back to her as she almost instinctively finds her way to the village. Though by that time, she has already gathered a few friends.

As she walk around, it's almost impossible to not notice the pretty red birds. Each on one shoulder. And a bunny she's holding, carrying it ontop of her journal. Talking to them, and asking questions quite often. But she does have that confused look of a new feather, but at least not the clothes. Just don't mind her staring at you as you walk by, since she is trying her best to remember people now.


Eventually though, later in the day she can be found situated very neatly by the fountain, under a tree. Yes, sitting in the snow, still watching people, but she's finally remembers the most important thing. The book she's been carrying around all day!]

Uhm....hello? If I'm remembering this right, people can hear me!

I've been gone a very long time, but everything looks familiar so it might be longer for me than it was here. I would really like to know if some of my friends are still here, if that's not too much trouble.

...

Oh no, wait! I'm sorry, I'm supposed to introduce myself first... [She figures it's a bit too late, she she lets out an almost depressed sigh.] My name's Kohaku...I guess it's obvious I was here before now...
