Video/Action; So very cursed down an abandoned road

[moonlitrequiem]

[The person known as Yin is seated at her piano, basking in the light of the moon. And on her face is an impossible smile. It's soft and gentle, like the light she's bathing in.]

However horrible it is here, I can't think it's all bad. Not when the moon comes out. Being in this light again makes it easier. This place isn't so awful. Not to me.

[After saying that, she starts to play the piano for a time. A far more happier tune than Yin might have picked. When she finishes, though, there's a slight frown of concentration as she reaches for the device. Her fingers flicker over the screen for a moment before it switches off.]

[Options for run ins:

[A - Day time, at the Welcome Center: Everyone will be greeted with a brilliant smile, whether co-worker or new arrival, or just stopping by.]

[B - Mid-day, on the streets: She's attempting to take the same path home as she did to work, but there are more people than there were in the early morning, and Yin's forehead crinkles in distress when she bumps against people that get irritated with her. She tries to politely explain it's difficult, but not everyone cares to listen. At times she feels the buildings and certain landmarks to continue on. Maybe she should get a seeing-eye dog that would get along with her cat?]

[C - Moonlit meeting in her apartment: For anyone that knows her well enough, they can meet at her apartment, where she plays the piano, far more than she has ever since she acquired it. The moonlight spills in from an open window, allowing anyone to either spy in.



[ooc: Post backdated to last night. Cursed with "Road not taken", what if Yin hadn't become a Doll. She's a normal teenage-adult, more aware of her place in the world as a woman. Perhaps scarred by past events, but still able to smile. Void of her specter and blind, but full of emotion.]

[Don't mind Korra, she's just swinging by to pick up her last check.]

[moonlitrequiem]

[Not that Kirsi knows it's Korra. She looks up in the sound of the door opening and gives a bright smile.]

Hello, and welcome to the City. Here at the Welcome Center we can help you with a variety of things. Is there anything you need today?

[anatural]

[Korra blinks at him.]

Uh, no? Yin, are you okay?

[moonlitrequiem]

Korra? [She seems to light up.]

I'm not sure who Yin is, but it's good to hear from you. I thought you quit?

[anatural]

Picking up my last paycheck. You're Yin. [wtf is going on?]

[moonlitrequiem]

[She gives Korra a confused look.] My name is Kirsi. [Yet again, something that didn't fit with her memories.] And oh.... Do you know where it is? [Because paychecks. Where are those kept? And here she thought Korra might be coming back, just for a split second.]

[anatural]

That's news to me. [What the fuck is going on?]

[moonlitrequiem]

You're not the first person to seem confused. I must have given the wrong name before...?

Either way. Do you know where your paycheck is?

[anatural]

[Ooooor this is a curse. Weird curse. But whatever.]

Yeah. Penny's office, right?

[moonlitrequiem]

[Yes, it is. And Penny's office - good! Then she doesn't have to try looking for it. Yin almost sighs with relief.]

Yes, Penny's office. It should be there.

[anatural]

Thanks. [Giving "Kirsi" another weird look, she heads for the office to look for her check.]

[moonlitrequiem]

[Kirsi can't see the expression, thankfully. But there's a drawback - she can't tell where Korra is, either. Slight sounds alert her to a basic idea, though. When she hears Korra's footsteps return, she speaks so Korra will speak and she can find her easily.]

Korra?

[anatural]

[Korra had been planning to just head out, but when "Kirsi" speaks, she stops.]

Yeah?

[moonlitrequiem]

[She goes toward the sound of Korra's voice, but isn't quite looking at her.]

I just wanted to say I missed you. [And once she's close enough, she attempts a hug.]

[anatural]

[Korra hugs Yin -- Kirsi? -- hesitantly.]

I'm...sorry?

[moonlitrequiem]

It's not your fault. [She pulls away shortly.]

But you've always been nice to talk to. And I've appreciated your advice in the past.

[anatural]

My advice?

[moonlitrequiem]

Yes. The advice you gave me about the guy.

[She never did tell him, and likely never will, but she still appreciated it.]

[anatural]

Oh. Right. Did you tell him how you feel?

[moonlitrequiem]

No, but I will.

It hasn't been the right time, yet. [More like she wasn't going to say anything unnecessary until now. And the curse likely won't last long enough for her to say anything.]

[anatural]

There's never a right time. You just have to do it!

[moonlitrequiem]

But I don't feel like it. I'll do it as soon as we're finally alone and it flows.

[She couldn't have done it when Pai was there, after all. That would have been awkward.]

[anatural]

It's your life. [But she thinks you're crazy.]

[moonlitrequiem]

[Kirsi's still all smiles.]

Thank you, Korra. It'll happen.

[But probably not today, so it might not ever happen.]

[anatural]

Yeah. [It doesn't actually have anything to do with her.] Anyway, guess I'll see you around.
