[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.]

[Kiki may spot Aang just as he's entering the Welcome Center! Specifically he took his glider there. As he lands, he retracts the glider into staff form and then steps straight into the Welcome Center's front doors, not yet noticing Kiki.]

[Oh look, someone else who can fly! Kiki can't help but think how Tombo might react to seeing a staff like that, he would probably be all over it in seconds. Then again, even she's finding a staff like that to seem quite impressive.

Kiki tries to hurry forward to catch Aang before he goes inside, but with all she's carrying she isn't getting very far. Instead she opts to call out to him.]

Excuse me! Can you hold the door open for a second, please?

Sure!

[He turns with a friendly smile and holds the door open. Wow, she has some load there.]

Thank you!

[She shuffles inside and places her bags down on the floor, clear of the door. Phew, maybe it would have been easier to have made two trips instead. Her haul of food and supplies dealt with, Kiki wipes her forehead with her hand and gives Aang a nod.]

Sorry about that, it would have been a hassle to get through when I'm already carrying so much.

That's a lot of stuff! If you need helping getting that around, I'd be glad to. [Thoughtful pause.] Are you new here?

That's alright, since I'm staying here for the time being I don't need to worry about moving it all much further. [She'll likely end up keeping the cleaning supplies under her bed and using most of the food she picked up for dinner later, so that will soon lighten her load. Though she appreciates the offer all the same.]

But yes, I only just arrived this morning. [And what an arrival it was.] My name is Kiki.

Well I'm Aang! It's nice to meet you, Kiki. I really like your name! [He holds out a hand to shake.] So you're planning to stay here for now? I'll help you get set up at least!

[Really, he likes it? She never thought her name was all that special, but, well... She takes his hand and gives it a quick shake.]

I shouldn't be staying here for too long, just until I figure out which room I want and which building I'll be living in. But are you sure you want to help? I wouldn't want to keep you from whatever it was you were doing before we met.

[One thing she can't help but ignore since coming here is how kind and caring everyone is. It's almost like what she expected Koriko to be like when she first arrived. She's really going to have her work cut out paying back all the people who have offered to help her today.]

[It's the reminder of Ikki's name that probably strikes him like that.]

Of course I want to help! I'm here to help out at the Welcome Center, after all, and right now you're the one to help!

Oh I see, you work here.

[Well that makes sense. Kiki takes a moment to look from her bag and broom, then at Aang, then back at her belongings again. It would be rude not to accept his help, especially when he's here to help out in the first place.]

Thank you very much, I'm really very grateful. Would you mind carrying this and putting it on one of the free beds for me?

[She decides to give Aang the broom to carry while she deals with the heavier bag of supplies. They'll be much easier to carry when she has two free hands and she isn't worried about dropping her broom as she walks.]

Right!

[He picks up the broom and starts to carry it towards the nearest room, trying to keep up a chipper attitude.]

How do you feel so far?

I'm not quite sure, a lot has happened today and I'm still trying to adjust to everything here.

[Getting settled comes first, thinking about her situation and where she goes from here comes next. As daunting as it might be for her to adjust to a second new town after finally getting used to Koriko, Kiki knows she has to try and stay positive.]

I might be a little confused right now, what with the wings and... The Malnosso? But I'm sure come tomorrow I'll be feeling a whole lot better.

A little rest can do you a lot of good. But if you have any questions, I'll be glad to help.

[Oh yes, she has plenty of questions.]

The guide I read managed to answer a lot of my questions for me, but I do have a couple of things I'd like to ask about.

[Still carrying her bag, Kiki follows Aang into the next room and promptly places her bag down on one of the beds with a sigh. Phew, there we go.]

Do you know if there are any witches here at all?

You found the Guide! That's good. [And he places the broom down on the bed and brushes his hands against each other.] And... witches? Which kinds of witches do you mean?

The kind that can fly around on brooms and use their magic for all sorts of things. Potions, fortune telling...

[It might be possible to catch Kiki side-eying the broom for a moment as she says this. Hint hint.]

A... broom? [He looks towards her broom curiously.] I never ever saw anyone fly on a broom. But there's lots of people here who know all kinds of magic. I think some of them make potions at least.
