Fourteenth Wind - Locked to

Sep. 2nd, 2011 03:05 pmThis again! Come ON! -Spoken as she kicks the door one last time for good measure. She wasn't going to waste time shooting it like last time. Especially seeing as the town saw fit to take away her guns this time. And Balin, nice as he was, was no Itachi. She wasn't sure she could handle this kind of thing again.-
May as well eat while we're here...

Thirteenth Wind [Phone/Action] 75% Droned
Jul. 4th, 2011 11:25 am[a. Phone]
-A call is sent out-
Gosh, this is certainly embarassing, but I really am flabbergasted on this. Maybe you all can help me out on this, but...
... Can someone tell me why I thought it was a good idea to buy a horse? And have the husband convert the garage into a stable? I don't even know how to ride one!
[b. Action - 847 Goldberg]
-Virginia is standing in her yard, in her Mayfield clothes, trying to solve the mystery of Quicksilver existing in her life. Her memories are conflicting. Part of her feels he's always been there, but that can't be right. And what sense is there in a lady like her owning a horse? There are no ranches in Mayfield, and the husband has a perfectly good car! This just isn't adding up at all... Why was she getting a headache?-

Now that I've got the stable fixed up after that IDIOT nearly wrecked it and scared Quicksilver half to death, I discover I've got a bit of free time.
Seeing as I'm honestly getting a bit rusty -Her battle with that man at the diner and the one at the dairy a month back was proof enough.-, I feel it's time I started practicing more with my gun skills. If anyone's willing to help me practice, I'd be mighty grateful. Any self respecting Drifter's got to be quick on the draw and true of aim, so I'm not going to shame myself by letting these skills go to waste. So who's up for it?
-Which means later in the day she'll be setting up targets in her yard. Cans, old bottles, and other small objects. She goes to great lengths to make certain they are at odd angles one normally wouldn't be shooting at. Which is why she's setting up tomato cans in the gutters.-

Eleventh Wind
Feb. 14th, 2011 02:12 pm-Jet was gone. He wasn't coming back. The very sight of his drone sickened her. It was probably in that grief, which she had hidden so well from the world at large, that those memories finally came back to her. Before her arm went missing, before Jet... there he was. He'd been there for her whenever she had needed it. He had always been that constant weight to keep her steady in Mayfield. When things were at their worse... his arms were the ones she had turned to. But when Jet came, it had all ended, hadn't it? How could she have been so cruel to him? Why had the memories been taken away? It must have been the town...
But she'd make it right. She didn't want to ache anymore. She didn't want to feel this pain in her heart. She had to at least talk to him, to tell him one more time that she had, and in many ways still did, love him. She needed to thank him for just... being himself. Maybe then... maybe then she could finally look out to face the day with an honest smile.-
[Phone Filtered to Itachi]
Itachi... can we... talk?

Tenth Wind [action]
Jan. 4th, 2011 09:18 pm-It's been awhile. But some of you may finally catch a sight of Virginia. The first anyone's seen of her besides Jet and Maya since Christmas. She's grooming Quicksilver to the best of her ability.
You see, the source of her difficulty would be her missing left arm. But she's managing to do pretty well in spite of this.-

Ninth Wind [Action]
Dec. 27th, 2010 06:57 pm-She had known better. The horror that had gone on the last few days... and her inability to do anything to stop it... she had known nothing good would have came of that knife.
So she sat there. She sat there and stared at it for seemingly hours. In reality, days had passed. Just... staring at the knife. Had she slept? She knew she hadn't eaten...
Eventually though, she grabbed it. And then it happened.
...
Virginia showed up at 851 Goldberg. In her hand was a longish package. And her left arm was missing. She rang the doorbell.-

Eigth Wind [Action + Phone]
Dec. 1st, 2010 04:54 pm-Virginia is coming off of her droning as if waking from a long long nap. She doesn't pay mind to the fact that her house if full of drones at the moment. In fact, they seem to just leave tired mommy alone as she stumbles about in the house. As if to confirm to herself that she was, in fact, still in mayfield, she steps outside in the shining evening sun. The heat, even amongst the slight chilly wind, is familiar to her. It almost felt like the desert for a moment. In fact, she could swear she just heard the sound of Quicksilver snorting.
... And again...
Wait... There's a white horse... grazing on the daffodils she tried so hard to plant.
Her scream is loud enough to startle Quicksilver and just about anyone in ear shot.-
-Sometime later, over the phones-
...
Erm...
...
Um, does anyone want to help me convert the garage into a stable? My horse is here and she needs somewhere to stay.

Seventh Wind
Nov. 6th, 2010 06:33 pmI know I probably shouldn't have, with everything going crazy... but I had some of the candy.
But I don't think it did anything. Am I just lucky? I guess I'll know in a bit...
-Come by Virginia's house tonight and you're in for a furry surprise. Except instead of a werewolf, she's more like a were-Golden Retriever. Because seriously, think about who you're dealing with here.-

Sixth Wind [Drone Filter]
Oct. 5th, 2010 04:29 pmOf Jack Smith is there to keep an eye on Jane Smith as part of his job, and everything else I've heard is true...
At the party, I lost my cool and almost slapped Jane for comments she was making about my father. She didn't know what she was doing, though. I had no right. But the moment I tried to slap her, a small blade manifested in my throat. I could barely talk, much less continue my confrontation.
... Instinctively, I drew my gun on her. But the look in her face... she was absolutely terrified. Drones don't show fear, right? Not that kind. It was sincere and real and... I couldn't do it. I couldn't pull the trigger. What's more, in spite of my anger, and in spite of pointing a gun at her head, she helped me. If it weren't for her making a call to the doctor, I would be dead.
... What else is there to know about Jane Smith?

Aug. 30th, 2010 11:07 pmUm... Okay, this is going to be bugging me, but that phone call mentioned it and I just have to ask because SOMEONE around here is bound to know more than I know on the topic but...
What in the heck is a "Love Hotel"? I'm getting the impression it's an inn for couples? I mean that's the impression I got from the woman.
[[ If you don't get why she's saying it that way, look up how "Louvre" is actually pronounced. ]]

Third Wind
Aug. 2nd, 2010 01:37 pmYou know... something I've thought a lot on lately. We're all from different worlds right?
I'm wondering... what state are your worlds in? Are their forests? Farm land? Lakes? Oceans?
I've never seen an ocean myself... only read about them. And the only lake I ever saw was in Yggdrasil. Trees alone are exceptionally rare... Tillable farmland, too. It's really strange and in some ways beautiful just to see so much healthy flora here. So much water to use...
Sorry, I'm just feeling a bit strange lately, is all.

Second Wind
Jun. 23rd, 2010 08:58 pm-Virginia's near the outskirts of town. She figured doing this in either the neighborhood, uptown, or downtown would get her in trouble with the drones. So instead she's taken to going a bit out of her way.
What is she doing? Well that's simple. Gun practice.
Specifically, fast drawing both of her pistols on targets placed throughout the terrain (old food cans). After a few shots (they seem to go by in less than a second), she tosses the guns into the air, and in an even faster motion, manages to reload them after tossing a clip's worth of bullets up after them and a swift motion of her arm. In another blink, she fires again (was that four shots or five? Who can tell?), knocking out the last of the targets. Her shooting stance seems to shift the whole time, making it nearly impossible to tell where her body will be positioned on the next shot.
Of course, once all the targests are hit, she can only sigh.-
Still not as good as daddy was...

First Wind
May. 26th, 2010 07:22 pm-Virginia was not a stranger to waking up in strange places. In her adventure, it happened fairly often. In fact, it had happened most recently on a fairly grand scale. But one of the things she could usually count on was Jet, Gallows, and Clive being nearby. Or that she would have her ARMs. However...
That wasn't happening. And Virginia was more than a little on edge. Especially after investigating the house. She'd managed to avoid the other occupants so far, at least. Now succefully in the streets... Virginia could not believe her eyes. Was this... was this Filgaia at all?
If you're near Goldberg street, feel free to notice Virginia just looking... agape at the world around her. She is in total disbelief.-

Thirty Seventh Wind [Video]
Apr. 19th, 2009 10:24 am-It's the return of Sieben High's delightfully dorky girl, Virginia Maxwell! Here we find her scuttling along in her admittedly frumpy (by today's standards) outfit, clinging desperately to her books lest some asshole or bitch decides to knock them out of her hands again. She's often bullied, you see, being who she is.
Still, she's smiling. You know why? Because she gets to see Jet here pretty soon! The blush on her face is highly evident. How could a childhood friend grow so close like that? It was like something out of a movie.-
I wonder if he'll ask me to the prom...
