Who: Ribbon OT Shy
When: Early evening, July 6
Where: Shy's Room
What: Ribbon finally drags herself to see her brother since she no longer has babysitters.

The choice to remove the guards from Ribbon was one she wholeheartedly agreed with. They were useful enough, but not really things that she found much interest in. Not that brightest creatures and she bossed them around. They weren't quite strong enough to really do anything to her. So she had tolerated their presence. Now, they were essentially gone. Once again, Ribbon was free to go where she pleased and do what she wanted. Whether that was good for anyone other than herself was yet to be seen. However, now that they were going, she felt like going to see how her brother was.

She didn't like the idea of someone eavesdropping on them, hence why she hadn't gone to see him sooner. In preparation for her visit, she picked up some chocolate. Months ago, he had yelled at her for scaring him, demanding .73 lbs of chocolate for the prank. Occasionally, Ribbon was a good big sister and gave in to her baby brother's whims. So she was going to bring him the previously requested chocolate and check on him.

The question of course was whether or not he was in any mood at all to talk to her. There was the strange message she had gotten a while back, but never had a chance to see him about. Not when she had Larry and Moe following her around. The only thing she would miss about them was the constant bribery. Marshmallows were dear things to her and they always had some as a pacification technique. Now she was going to have to request her own. Well, poo.

Shy undoubtedly knew she was coming before she made it to his room, she wasn't making any attempt to evade the eyes of the cameras. Let him have his warning. It didn't help him a terrible lot, but if it gave him some sense of security then that was all well and good.

His door was shut, not a surprise there. He valued his space like she did hers. He used locks, she used force. Today though, she behaved, she knocked.

Who: Ribbon OT D
When: Evening Tuesday May 19
Where: Outside of the Amusement Park
What: Ribbon's in a mood and meets a new person.
Notes: For the mash up.

Ribbon was still fuming. How dare they use the whistle on her...she'd been short tempered and snappy for almost a full week. Refusing to come out of her cell, throwing food, popping hard enough to leave welts when someone dared to even suggest they had a different opinion from her. Needless to say, her handlers were looking forward to the time when she would be less churlish.

Tonight she was in a relatively good mood, relatively being the operative word. She still wasn't happy, but she wasn't hitting unnecessarily and she hadn't seen the need to throw anything as of yet. For the first time in a week, she demanded to be let out and proceeded to behave in a semi-orderly fashion.

Now she was posted up outside the Amusement park, why there? Probably because she was considering going in. She had been good. Very, very good. Destroyed nothing that wasn't imminently replaceable, hadn't killed anyone who didn't need killing, all in all she had behaved beautifully.

And they thought it necessary to use the whistle on her.....hmphf. She'd show them. Yet she was still outside the amusement park, half hanging from one of the many flag posts with both of her handlers nearby. For the moment, she was still behaving. If that would continue to be the case was completely up to circumstance.

Who: Ribbon OT Wild Child [and anyone else who happens to see]
Where: The Obstacle Arena
When: Evening Tuesday
What: Ribbon and Wild Child Round Two...hopefully this won't hurt as much.

They were a little unsure of letting Ribbon wander around more and more lately. After her run in with the boy who decided to climb a tree after her, Ernie and Geno weren't exactly certain they could control her if it should come down to that. Of course, it was liable to come down to that. However, trying to keep her from going where she wished to go was an impossibility. They didn't have any choice but to follow along.

It was after seven, there was a fight in the obstacle arena and Ribbon had decided (one was never quite certain of her thought processes either) that she wanted to go to a fight. So she was perched on the edge of the railing, literally. It made her look like she was about to jump in, but there wasn't anything anyone dared do about it. Her ribbons were flattened around her and what spectators there had been sitting in the area directly around her found themselves new seats. Each of her handlers found a space on either side of her, looking down into the arena.

"You interested in what's going on or just bored," Ernie asked her and she turned her face his direction before smiling at him. That was not a sweet and happy expression. In fact, it made him shiver and look away. Then she went back to seemingly watching what was going on. The match was about over. Ribbon didn't appear to be either interested or bothered by that idea.

Who: Ribbon OT Mao
When: 9pm Wednesday May 6
Where: Near the Library
What: Ribbon's out and about.

Most people found the activity of hanging upside down to be disorienting. Ribbon was no such creature. She routinely hung upside down for hours at a time. For the moment, she was doing her impression of a piece of hanging meat in what could be called the center of Revolve. The area near the library, bar, theatre, and coffee shop was unofficially exactly that. Within easy reach of the arenas, this was the best place to be.

Geno and Ernie were sweating bullets. Why? Because the woman was unhappy. Why was Ribbon unhappy? They hadn't been able to get a coherent answer from her. When asked she just typed the same word over and over again which didn't make any sense to either of them. WARUI. Over and over again until it filled the screen and then spilled down it. It wasn't an English word. They could agree on that. Neither of them spoke enough Japanese to recognize the word for 'bad'.

The question of course was why was she agitated. No answer. Then she had demanded to leave her cell. That was not an usual idea, Ribbon liked to wander around. However, today she didn't go to the woods. She went to middle of her world and took up a space. Since they couldn't pry her off of one of the ornamental trees in the area, the two guards did the only smart thing....they found themselves seats and watched the way traffic moved around them. So long as no one got too interested in the dangling black streamers coming out the branches and tried to touch them, things would probably be okay.
