[ Her last memories of Luceti had been of snow. Looking around the forest and sensing the patterns of weather upon waking, however, told her it was now early autumn. Either she'd been gone several months or at least a year this time, she figured. Ororo wondered idly if there was a reason that she came and went like this. Something to ask the veterans of Luceti, she thought. ]

[ When she felt well enough, Storm took to the skies of Luceti: she knew her abiliities were dampened here in the enclosure, but she needed some time to reacquaint herself with Luceti's nature before looking for the village. She needed to calm herself, too; less powers also meant less control, and it would probably be better if she kept her emotions from starting an off-season monsoon. The random flashes of thunder and lightning from her annoyance at finding herself back in Luceti might attract unwanted attention, and how embarrassing would it be if someone noticed... ]

[ As soon as she centered herself, she changed course and headed for where she knew the village was. She remembered where the little house she'd stayed in previously was located as well, and checking the journal's callbox had let her know just who was still around and who from her world had arrived while she was "back at home." She figured there would be no harm in dropping by the house unannounced. Hopefully there was someone in House 16 to greet her! ]

[ Storm's first order of business after moving back into her old room at House 16 was to visit the stores for some essentials: the clothes shop being her first stop. As soon as she'd changed into and picked up some familiar clothes, she stepped back outside - and when it was safe, Ororo called down a bolt of lightning from the sky to strike the damned New Feather dress into ash. Subtle? Not in the least, but she had to vent somehow, right? Right. ]

[ Her next stops include the Item Store, and the grocery (to re-stock the house's food supply with some vaguely nutritious food), but her final stop of the day, despite the groceries and other items in her arms, would be Cloud Nine. Some of her clearer memories of Luceti were of the quaint little club, and Ororo rather hoped it would jog a few more of her memories... ]

[ Anyone in town is free to recognize or even bump into her as she makes her way around the village! Storm will be all over the place in general, seeking to re-familiarize herself with the town again. ]

[selfhelp]

[Wow, and he'd just gone to the plaza for some munchies and suddenly there is lightning. He could've sworn it was a perfectly lovely day a few seconds ago, so why the sudden freak electricity, Billy thinks to himself, as he turns the corner of the building and-

....

Oh.

Hopefully Storm doesn't mind him staring a little, because he's definitely doing that right now. Holy crap.]

[touchofrogue]

[Let's just say that Storm's arrival to House 16 is early enough in the morning that Rogue hasn't left for work yet. She's probably curled around the kitchen table with a cup of coffee - her third one of the morning - trying to rev herself up to face another day at the Item Shop. It's starting towards New Feather Season, anyway, so she needs to get there.

...meh. A few more minutes.]

[Susan is out at the grocery store, getting together some rather simple things to make for dinner tonight when she spots a very, VERY familiar face that gives her a start. The woman looks younger, but...]

Ororo Munroe?

[Action] Hope this isn't too out of place

[windandrain]

[While Ororo is out in the forest, attempting to focus herself and stop the random flashes of lightning, she does very much attract the attention of someone. A burst of wind ripples through the trees, and a gigantic stormcloud appears in the air above Ororo, a sudden rainstorm pouring rain everywhere except onto the woman.

Moments later, a young looking Asian woman in a long white dress appears, drifting rapidly out of the sky]

Who are you, and how are you interfering with the weather? [Her voice is commanding, and filled with a mixture of curiosity and anger]

[savedtheworld]

[Aang feels his heart jump when he sees a bolt of lightning tearing down nearby. A panic overcomes him as he rushes over to the site, looking around in fear to see if anyone was hit. Wait, is that woman's... eyes glowing?]

Is... is everyone okay?

[halfnhalf]

[At the grocery store, Teddy had been busy picking up a few things for himself and Billy. Probably a few utterly unhealthy things, but eh, teens. What can ya do?

He's just about to put chocolate sauce into a shopping bag when he spots Ororo. And, subsequently, his jaw falls open while he stares in disbelief.

Hopefully she won't mind a little staring. Hello, first sort-of-straight-crush.]

[seethrul]

["Safe" is relative, of course-- that lightning sure is far away from Yunoha so there's no chance of her getting hit but all the way across the plaza the exact moment that lightning come down and just strikes...whatever it was, now that's something more. Interesting. And frightening, the latter tends to overpower a lot of things.

It's hard to suppress that squeak at the sudden lightning and Ororo might notice her and her...multicoloured hair...as she quails a little.]

[fierybluebird]

[Marco sees her at the grocery shop and instantly tilts his head. Oh damn, she's so familiar, but he can't really place her at all. He really feels like he should know her though... and ah damn it. He has no idea. Oh well maybe if he strikes up a conversation it'll come back to him.]

Good prices, eh? [A small joke to hopefully get a laugh, because when it's all free, it's the best price money can't buy.]

[theogre]

[Sakura is standing in the grocery store wearing her New Feather clothes. She's been here for a day, but she's been getting her meals from the Welcome Center. This is her first time picking out her own groceries, and she doesn't seem hesitant at all to take what she needs.

Of course, that means her basket is filling up with protein supplements, vitamins, and very healthy foods. That's just how Sakura rolls. There's certainly a lot of protein, though.

The wrestler notices Storm approaching at just the right time, though. She's found a particularly strange American food, and she doesn't know what it is.]

I apologize if I am bothering you, but do you have a moment?

action;

[alloys]

[Two things:

One, she sure did just incinerate that New Feather dress with a bolt of lightning.

Two, that is unmistakably Storm. Miss Ororo Munroe. And that is a person he hasn't seen in a long, long time.]

...Haven't changed a bit, have you, Orrie?

[Old habits die hard.]

[powdersup]

[ @ Cloud Nine - Asami actually... comes here quite a bit. It makes her feel fancy, and it makes her feel somewhat less trapped by the whole situation. And it makes her not feel like a putz for dressing up. But while she's in a very nice and flashy red dress tonight, and actually just arriving (probably?? she's still got groceries and all) for the night when Storm is showing up there with...

Groceries?

Weird.

She can't help but hold her gaze a moment longer though. That skintone and hair combination is pretty distinct]

[Action]

[kineticcajun]

[It's a surprise to see Storm stepping out of the clothes shop as he passes by. It's even more of a surprise when she calls down a lightning bolt to fry that dress. Remy stops, staring blankly for a moment, before he just starts to applaud.

What. It's a totally legitimate reaction.]

I'd give that... 9 outta 10.

[action]

[frost_jewel]

[Thanks to circumstances, Mia is at home when Storm arrives rather than working. In the kitchen, to be specific, making herself tea.]

Oh. Hello. [A small smile. They worked together in a draft, but that didn't mean the woman would remember her.]
