[It wasn't all that long ago that Kiki was out flying on her broom, soaring over Koriko and breathing a huge sigh of relief. Everything had finally decided to work out and things seemed to be on the up! However, when Kiki next finds herself sitting in the dark she can't help but feel as though everything suddenly took a turn for the worse.

Around midday it might be possible to hear a strange, muffled noise coming from the inside of your kitchen cupboards. Or maybe a wardrobe instead. It's clear that there's something moving around inside, and if you listen closely you can hear the sound of young witch as she tries to figure out what exactly is going on. Before too long the doors fly open and Kiki rolls out with a shriek, causing all sorts of mess in the process. It seems as though she ended up tugging on one of her wings, causing her to flinch and fall out of the cupboard she found herself in. Should there be no one home when Kiki escapes from the cupboard she found herself in then she'll be curiously looking around the house she woke up in, trying to figure out where these wings came from and why she's now wearing a white dress as opposed to her usual, dark coloured outfit.]

[Later on in the afternoon, when she's not busy bursting out of cupboards and snooping around houses, Kiki can be spotted crossing the plaza as she heads to retrieve her belongings. She has a map from the welcome center in one hand and her journal in the other. Between reading through the many entries and the guide in the journal and looking over the map she has her hands pretty full, but she'll be carrying even more before long. After visiting the item shop and the grocery, Kiki has managed to pile some food, cleaning supplies, her journal and her map into a bag which she's supporting with two hands to make sure it doesn't rip open at all. She's also attempting to carry a broom she picked up at the same time, trapping it in between her arms and the bags she's carrying. With her haul of items, Kiki makes her way slowly back towards the welcome center. She plans to stay there for a few days while she decides which community building she should move into. Picking a room that looks out over the ocean doesn't seem to be an option, but perhaps she can find one that offers the best view of the village instead.]

It's no trouble at all, really. [She takes a minute to decide before grabbing the bag, shifting its weight a little so it's easier to carry.] Did you just get here?

If you're really sure, thank you very much. [Phew, that's much better. Kiki takes the broom in both hands now, keeping a tight hold of it.] Yes, I arrived just this morning.

[She gives Crys a nod and a smile before- Oh wait, yes, introductions.] My name is Kiki and I'm a witch. It's nice to meet you.

Welcome to Luceti, Kiki. My name is Crystal. [But wow, a witch? That's new. It honestly leaves her a little surprised.]

You mean like the kind who fly on brooms and make spells?

[That's really a very pretty name, though Kiki forgoes complimenting Crystal on it and instead addresses her question.]

That's right! [Though in Kiki's case she's more of a 'flying on a broom' sort of witch than the kind that dabbles in spells.] I'm glad that someone here knows about witches and what they do. I really didn't know what to expect, being in a whole new world for the first time.

[There's an awkward chuckle from Crys as she scratches her cheek in embarrassment.] Well, I've only read about them in books from when I was little. This place takes a little getting used to, but people might not be too surprised to hear about witches.

I've read a few books with witches in before too, thank goodness I don't have to worry about having green skin or growing warts on the end of my long, pointy nose. [At least Crys knows about witches in some form, even if it was just from reading books. Some of the people she first met Koriko didn't even know or care about witches!]

When you say people won't be surprised, do you mean there are already other witches here?

You certainly don't look like the kind of girl who'd get those sort of things. [She's already pretty as it is, she doubts Kiki could change into something ugly.] Not exactly, but people are used to seeing uncommon things here. A witch is just the tip of the iceberg for strange occurrences here.

I'm glad about that. [Granted, Kiki has never thought much of her looks, but at least she knows her skin isn't going to turn green on her.] I guess when you live in a town full of people with wings on their back there's not much else that can seem all that strange in comparison.

You pretty much get used to it after a while. I've met ninjas, pirates, superheroes... I'm not surprised by much anymore. [You'll get used to it someday, Kiki.] It's nice to meet another girl, though.

[Oh yes, ninjas.] I had no idea any of those things really existed until I came here. [But then a ninja came at her with a knife when she rolled out of a cupboard and, well, you can't really believe anything else when that happens.] But yes, I think it's nice to meet another girl too. Would you happen to be a pirate or a... Superhero at all?

I only read about them in books when I was younger. [It's surreal to meet them in person, that's for sure.] Me?

[That makes her laugh a little.] Oh gosh, no. I'm normal, as far as this place goes. I couldn't keep up with their kind of lifestyles. [YES YOU COULD, CRYS, YOU SAVED THE WORLD.]

[Surreal, and also a little startling. At least in the case of ninjas anyway. She's no idea what it would be like to meet a superhero since they're a little out of her depth, but with a name like that she imagines they must be very interesting people!]

I see! I don't think I could manage it either, I'm not exactly cut out to be any of those things anyway. [She's certainly not all that super in any way. And last she checked she didn't feel like hoisting sails or plundering anything.] I'll stick to being a witch for now, at least I'm used to that.

Same here. I'm fine just being how I am. [Being a professor's assistant with the occasional need to stop evil organizations.] Besides, being a witch sounds plenty fun. You can actually fly on that broom all by yourself.

Oh it is, very fun. [Or at least it is now anyway. If someone had asked her about how fun it is to be a witch a few weeks back then her answers would have been drastically different.] And it's rewarding, being able to use my powers to help people out... It's very exciting to fly high into the sky and then swoop down as fast as I can, too!

I know what you mean! I've got a friend who flies me around, and it's so exhilarating. [Even when she was just a Natu, Xatee was always there to give her a lift somewhere.]
