Who: Ellie and OPEN
Where: The park
When: Late afternoon
What: How should I know?
It was a nice day to be outside, and Ellie was glad the park had been so near to the bookstore she'd been perusing. Her magical protection against iron had been wearing thin, and she'd had to make a strategic retreat to the nearest patch of nature for a break and to recharge as much as she could. She could still sense the iron of the town around her, but the expanse of nature surrounding her dulled the sensation, made it nearly bearable. Plus, it was a good spot for people-watching.
Ellie found herself a nice patch of grass under a huge oak, nestling in comfortably between two large, half-exposed roots and leaning up against the wide trunk. Her bag was dropped at her side, and she dipped into it to pull out a new rubik's cube. The multicolored square puzzle had been a delight to discover once she was through the portal to the human realm - it kept her busy for a few minutes at a time, and there was no end to the ways she could mix it up and then re-solve it. In fact, many of the human puzzles she'd tried out had been engaging, though her innate affinity for puzzles meant she solved most of them far too quickly. But it was soothing, in a way, her hands automatically flipping and turning the colorful square to solve it, mind and eyes left mostly free to watch whoever came her way.
