Who: Marianne and you!
Where: Around Aldrip
What: Catch-all log
Warnings: N/A


i.

[ Though Marianne has made her life in Aldrip for many moons now, the remodeling of town has her losing her way. You might run into her doubling back around, entering an establishment only to quickly excuse herself, or stumbling into shadier alleys looking terribly out of place for a woman of the cloth. ]

Excuse me— where is this?

[ Apart from running her usual errands, she can also be found putting up recruitment posters around town for the Artzenritter healer troop. Come take a look? Or perhaps lend a hand at graphic design, technology is a struggle. ]

[ The memories of the other Aldrip linger, an alternate life where she wasn't plagued by her Crest and she held hope and confidence in herself that she never knew she could. On one sleepless night, she writes an anonymous message to the network after much fiddling with the new charms. ]

I still feel troubled by the memories of the other life we lived. Is it the same for anyone else?

[ If you know her already, she may feel comfortable enough to confess in person. ]

Some days, I feel like I don't know which of my memories to trust.

[ ooc: Her usual haunts are the Willow Clinic where she'll be trying to ease pollen symptoms this month and Astralin's farm and the surrounding meadows where she can be found tending to chocobos and her horse Dorte. Feel free to PM or ping me at ahlyo for a custom starter! ]

[ The change in scenery did certainly take some getting used to. The sheer increase in the number of buildings made navigation much more difficult in the early days. Miller, however, has not necessarily found the adaptation hard for those reasons. For him, the trouble exists more with the implications. If something were to disrupt this, would the entire world change once again in the blink of an eye?

Of course, he cannot say, but forced to acclimate, he keeps what could perhaps be seen as an over-vigilant attitude in the current task he's found for himself.

And right now that's security for the casino. When he witnesses Marianne in the alleyway outside, he is quick to approach her—though the suspicion is really not directed toward her personally. ]

We are outside the casino. Is there some place you were headed, young lady? This is not the best area to be wandering around.

[ Take it from him. He's seen some weirdos in these parts. ]

[ Ah, a casino. Marianne has visited an establishment like it before, when the first casino had been built on the fringes of what used to be a quiet town. The glitz and glamour of the gambling den was lost on her as someone who finds no pleasure in the pursuit of wealth, and the presence of a stern-looking guard makes her wring her hands self-consciously. ]

Ah, I am paying a house call to a patient and I was sure this was the address... Do you know if there are residential areas nearby, sir?

[ It's possible the home is still nearby, just shuffled with the rest. In that case, she doesn't want to give up before scouring the alley. ]
