Doppleganger Aftermath - Wanting to help now more than ever

Characters: Bloom and Open

A-04 - 18th

Bloom poked her food quietly with a fork, not sure if she wanted to eat it or not. As she paused mid-poke she was unsure of everything right now. Unsure of what will happen if they choose to fight this upcoming calamity, especially after seeing that dream. It looked like it didn't work out for them, so would it really work out for them this time. Plus the fact was she had been here before, all those years ago... It just didn't make sense in her mind. Poking her fork once more into the meat she left it there.

She couldn't eat it right now, she just wanted to get the thoughts out of her mind, the picture of her sister, living here for years, not knowing who she was and living a new life. That had stung a little bit really. It had hurt a lot, but she wasn't going to let it get to her. It just gave her more of a goal, a reason to keep fighting here. With a small smile she went back into the kitchen, thinking that maybe she could let Luffy eat her meal when he got here.

Out and about - 18th - 24th

Each day Bloom came out, each day she would wonder and each day she felt better more and more. She felt like she would at least try and start a friendship at least with her sister here and she seemed to be okay with that. That made her happy more than anything. Every so often she would stop and look around at where she was and when she did, she was thinking over what she wanted to do? Did she want to do something, did she want to go home and speak to her moogle, or would she be okay with just walking around some more.

With all these thoughts in her mind, she was unsure. With a small and a firm nod, she was going to do soemthing, she was going to head to the wharf and check to see if she could afford a boat yet. Now more than ever she wanted to do something now, rather than sit around and wait. Now was the time to explore.

"Maybe it was us?"

Zelda's voice grew quiet and her eyes shifted to the distance. "I was told that Kalki said we were the calamity. That we were a piece of it. All of this started with us arriving. Maybe we first need to figure out what brought us here and find our answers there."

There was no way to know for sure but Zelda felt as if it would be the best course of action. If only they had more time.

"I always thought it was that crystal that brought us here?" She was a little puzzled on the how exactly, but she just figured it was some kind of magic never the less.

She wondered if they would even get anywhere with trying to find that out really. "Though that makes it sound like someone brought us here just so we would set it off. If that turns out to be the case then... why?"

"I don't know." But it was at least something they could find out. Her gaze shifted towards Bloom, her smile soft.

"But it gives us something to search for. A goal."

It wasn't much but it was something to drive them forward.

"Right, having a goal at least now helps us more than ever. We know now what to focus on." In her mind at least she knew what to focus on. Although first of all she needed to get over this small funk, but she felt like she was getting a little better just talking about it.

Talking always did help out after all. "Though how we focus it is another matter altogether."

Zelda shook her head slowly. "You're right. I don't know how we can even begin to figure it out. I feel as if the Empire knew more than us but nothing was gathered from there that might help. At least not in that regard."

She didn't like knowing so little and truthfully, she wasn't used to it. It bothered her more than she cared to admit.

Her eyes glanced over to Bloom. "Should I think of something. I will let you know."

Bloom was sort o use to not knowing much, or that people keep from them. But she found discovering things for ones self to always be a good learning experience to say the least.

"Okay... And well... I will think about what I should do next. After that dream and well... what happened and what we have seen. It gives me a much better reason to keep fighting. A reason to stay here even if it's just for now." She laughed a little at the end of her speech, it seemed silly but she knew it felt right for her to do.

"It seems odd to say really, but that's how I feel. I help people, I don't leave them to themselves. These people need that."

"I agree."

Zelda smiled meeting Blooms gaze. They were of the same mind when it came to these things which was good. They didn't have to work alone either because all of the heroes are there for them.

"We should all do what we can." Talking helped, Zelda felt more confident and almost a little giddy to try and discover more. She wanted to remain confident always greeting people with a smile.

"We should... I just hope that what we do will be enough, for them." Bloom closed her eyes quietly for a moment. She was thinking of all those heroes that had tried and failed to beat this thing. She wanted what they did to not be in vain.

"So how are you anyway? I know you've been doing a lot, so I'm a little curious."

Zelda was surprised for a moment before her expression shifted into a soft smile. "I'm doing alright. Just trying to get things together for the heroes. I hope to have a few more things usable for the observatory."

It's been a long process but she was slowly putting things together. "I have a lot of help so I don't think it should take to much longer. I'm thinking about have regular get together's so the heroes can continue to feel close to each other."

Even though Zelda knew that some of the heroes didn't like parties like that.

"Oh, so you'll have get together... Maybe when you do that have things like themes or try and do something that would make people feel comfortable. I mean we all don't like the same things after all."

Well she was glad there was someone trying to keep people close, especially with the huge numbers that are around right now. "If you ever want help sorting something like that out, I'll be happy to help."

"Thank you! I'm happy to hear that. It's been more work since more and more heroes have arrived." Zelda paused looking over at Bloom.

"What sort of theme's were you thinking?"

She didn't know of any herself besides maybe the harvest or spring but those both had to do with the seasons. There weren't to many holidays in her world like there seemed to be here. She thought for a moment realizing that if spring was coming then so was her birthday. She'd be turning 20 this year.

"At the minute, nothing really comes to mind, but I'm sure we have time to think of something. Though I mean one can do things like a masked ball for a party one day, but that is a very basic idea for a theme."

She could spend all day thinking it over, it would get her mind off of things and make her feel like she was doing something. She smiled slightly as she thought of various things. She was starting to feel better.

"But for casual, I guess... Something simple like..." She paused for a moment, she wanted a theme that no one would usually think of.

"Country... That is a common theme back home. But not one I think we could do here."

"Country?"

Zelda didn't know what she meant by that. Her tone was light but it's obvious from her stare that she was more than just a little confused.

"What would that require?"

"Ah, I guess such a thing didn't exist in your world, so I'll explain." He raised one finger as if to start teaching or lecture someone.

"Country is a type of music... It's hard to put into words, but well the theme is like cowboys and cowgirls. Does that make sense?"

"Cowboys and cowgirls?" Zelda was now imagining girls and boys dressed as cows. It didn't make a lot of sense for a theme but she supposed some might really like cows. It seemed a little odd to her.

"I guess so. Can you describe the music?"

"I sadly can't. I kind of wish that I had music here so you could listen, but obvious I can't. All I know is the type of music makes one want to line dance. That I could show you sometime." She said with a small laugh. It was always something that was fun at least.

Zelda's smile softened. "I'd like that." She was still a little confused but she wasn't one to stifle another's ideas. Her gaze flicked from Bloom to the city around them.

"Maybe we can think of summer themes too since it will so be warm."

"I can think of summer themes much easier than themes in general, so that will always be a fun thing." A beach theme was something that cropped up in her mind rather quickly to say the least.

Never the less it was something to think about at least and she was pondering on it. "I'll get back to you maybe later about those types of themes."

Zelda smiled. "Sounds like a good idea. I'm sure I was supposed to be doing something." Her smile widened slightly as she tried to remember what her outing had been about. Sometimes it was nice being distracted by a friendly conversation.

"I should go for now. Let me know if you think of something." She bowed slightly fanning her skirt before heading back towards the observatory.
