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.
