Open!
Who: mermaiding & you!
When: Like ICly 10/29ish. After the event
Where: Various
What: After becoming visible again, Oona 'celebrates' by touching everyone to reconfirm that she's solid
Rating/Warning: Random touching?
[Being invisible had been one thing-- she could deal with that. Sure it made everything a little difficult, but it could have helped her in the long run; you know, if she could have touched people.
She hadn't thought about how much she'd miss it until it was gone. It was...lonely. Cold. She'd felt more bitter and angry than she had in months, trying desperately to get the attention of others to no avail. It hadn't taken long for the anger to change to despair, and it had taken all she had not to cry when she found herself 'cured'.
It was a cautious optimism, but it had quickly grown to an almost mania as she ran around the streets, mostly looking or familiar faces, but strangers weren't immune either as she suddenly grabbed onto people with open delight]
Ah! Touch! Can touch you! You can feel, yes? Touching you! [She grabs at arms and hands, pressing at the skin and squeezing hands (lightly, she's mindful of her inhuman strength thankyouverymuch), even going so far as rubbing her cheek against shoulders if the person isn't too tall or doesn't throw her off right away.]
[Closed for Tenka]
[There is one specific person she's looking for though, and she's quick to track him down to his house again. She debates a moment on how best to go about contacting him, and while she knows deep down that calling him first would be best... Yeah she's not doing that.
She raises her fists and knocks. Insistently. No pausing until he answers eeeyyy.]

Why are you solid? [Because that's curious]
no subject
Besides normally being solid to other spirits, I suppose it might be because I've been turned solid so everyone will be able to see me. Since not everyone can see spirits.
no subject
Could not be seen or felt for only few days. cannot imagine living like that for life. Would go crazy.
no subject
You get used to it, if it's the same for everyone around you. Though, granted, it's only in the world of the living that we're not visible. We're perfectly solid and visible in Sheol.
no subject
[Oona frowns lightly, not even wanting to indulge the idea of 'getting used to it.' She shakes her head.]
Touch and body language, seeing and being seen, touching and being touched-- is very important. Especially to my people. Can not get used to otherwise.
no subject
[ Maybe being invisible and all that was not something one wanted to get used to, but at least spirits could see other spirits, so it wasn't complete invisibility (etc). ]
That's easy to imagine. Not everyone uses words to communicate, after all.
no subject
Speak so many words, to say so little.
