---

phase i - shop till you drop;

[The Shopping District's a pretty busy place, right? People are always moving around, talking, buying things-- Surely, no one's going to notice if a girl just glitches and appears out of thin air, right?]

[Wait, that is the kind of thing people might notice? Oops!]

[Well, in any case, this glitch is quickly identified to be an odd-looking teenaged girl - that is to say, Maya, and upon appearing, she pretty much just crumples to the ground]

[Except-- aside from pulling herself up to a sitting position, she doesn't seem to be making any efforts to get up or talk to anyone. In fact, she looks.... upset? Wow, is that even possible???]

[So your options here are: check this weird scene out, keep walking, throw something at her, or any other option. Be creative!!]

phase ii - catch me if you can;

[Well, you're minding your own business! Trying to get wherever you're going!! HARK, there is a small teenage girl, directly in your path.]

Okay, Maya, one foot after the other.... two feet after the other... three feet after.... wait, that doesn't make sense.

[She's coming towards you! If you don't move fast, she's going to crash directly into you, or topple over and take you down with her]

Woah....!

[If you do move fast, then enjoy watching her fall on her face. Again. If not, then:]

S...Sorry....

phase iii - speaking of watch your step;

[On that note, there's another option. You, once again, are trying to conduct your business, getting home, checking on your friends, trying to go somewhere, whatever. But down, on the ground, is said weirdo teenage girl, and she appears to be crawling very slowly... on her hands and knees, in some direction. Okay. That's all fine and weird, but every so often, she freezes up, her eyes widen, and then she reaches for whatever's closest (which is probably your ankle, but can be: bench, a cleaning robo, or... anything else, really) as if trying to put her hand through it.]

[Obviously, this does not work out for her, because these things are all solid objects]

....I shouldn't have done that.

[NO SHIT, MAYA.]

phase iv - butt-dialing?? we just don't know;

[And the final option: you are getting a call on your CeresVice!! It's from Maya. But the thing is, she absolutely didn't mean to call you. In fact, she might not even know who you are and vice versa. But there is a call! From her!!]

Um..... Is this Mosley?

[No it isn't]

[(Unless Mosley tags this)]

wildcard;

[Got something else in mind? Hit me up! Just keep in mind that she's extremely dizzy... among other things]

Phase II

[unpreparer]

[Illidan had just been returning from a hunt in the jungle, a nice break from being cooped up in a room with a bunch of humans. It had grated on him so much he could have sworn he could almost hear the little harpy girl's voice...

Then little hands grabbing at him. He looked over to see the child fail to get a good hold onto him... and slowly.. slowly slide off and fall to the ground. He probably could have helped her. But nope. Nooope.]

What are you doing?

[feytality]

Oof... [Thanks, Lillydan. Always a pal and a helper!]

[Maya's slow and sad descent ends up with her crumpling up at his feet, clutching her head. It takes a second to identify the voice, but she doesn't dare look up, because her head is already spinning enough as it is.]

Mr. Stormrage?

[Instead of answering his question, she just sound very confused]

iii.

[psycholawgy]

[ she didn't want to go outside tonight, not after maya had disappeared. she had failed her. she failed phoenix, she failed a ton of people, really. but... it was her turn to go shopping. she couldn't just let ai down by not doing her chores because she's emotionally exhausted.

but then something grabs her ankle while she's on her way home. she grabs the baguette she bought and starts swinging it around. after what happened in the library, she's definitely a bit more panicky now. ]

Who— Who's there?!

[feytality]

[If she swings it downwards she can definitely hit Maya in the head. As it is, Maya's currently seeing Athena as code, so it doesn't click for her just yet what's going on and who this is]

[She withdraws her hand]

Oh, everything's messing up again! What am I supposed to do!?

iii

[splashdamage]

[ he almost steps on her at first. thoughts elsewhere, gazed fixed straight ahead at regular eye-level, there's no way kakyoin notices someone crawling around on the ground. not until he feels the sudden grab of a hand at his ankle.

a slight flinch, and kakyoin looks down with some amount of startled shock. which rather quickly melts into confusion when he sees maya sprawled on the ground there. ]

... are you alright, miss?

[ said in a tone of voice that indicates he's kind of assuming she's prooooobably not 'alright.' ]

[feytality]

[That would be a correct assumption!! Seriously, who does things like this?]

[Maya, apparently. She pulls her hand back, shuddering a little... for some reason, freezes at the voice, and slowly starts to look up.]

Woah! You're a person?

[Because he kind of still looks like code to her]

[(Don't touch glitchy ledgers, kids...)]

phase i

[freeinghorror]

[How about nearly tripping over the strange weird girl that just popped up in front of you? Cuz that is almost what Jinga does except he is an expert at dodging weird stuff and has long legs to boot. So, instead of stumbling over her, he jumps, twisting in the air like a cat so that he could land on his feet and face the girl with one raised eyebrow as if to say 'See? I so am not showing off'. And when she didn't look up, his expression soften slightly and he crouched down.

Forgive him, but he is going to reach out to tap her forehead.]

Are you pretending to be a ghost, or are you going to get off the ground?

[feytality]

[Ah... she was warned about him, and now he appears, when she's too vulnerable to huff and puff at him!]

[Regardless, her body might be here now, but her mind is far away - back in the Nexus Code, with all her dropped CR and dead brother figures. In fact, she absolutely does not notice his presence until he taps her on the forehead, and she only catches about half of what he said.]

--Huh? I'm not... I'm not a ghost! I'm a spirit medium....

[Nailed... it? She doesn't seem interested in getting up, in any case]

iv

[beaconed]

[ What the heck?! Is someone playing a trick on him here? Or could it be... what if it's an actual CERES employee? This could be a chance to get some information out of them!! And if it's a prank, then Jaune can save face by... pranking them back!

It makes sense. ]

............ Yeah? Yes. Yes, this is Mosley. Mosley here, just. Just Mosley-ing around.

Ugh, what am I doing, Mosley doesn't even say that--

[feytality]

[See, that doesn't sound anything like Mosley. It's also not something Mosley would ever say--- probably. But Maya's still really distracted and a little out of it. She's got a lot on her mind.]

[But she seems to be taking this terrible bait??]

We... We need to talk! Stop Mosley-ing around right now and Mosley down to business!

phase ii!

[trueend]

[Yeaahhhhh. They're just gonna... step aside at the very last moment. Watch her fall flat on her face. Stare. Stare some more.

And then, s l o w l y:]

... Are you okay?

[You're a real pal, Frisk.]

[feytality]

[Yeah, she's just facedown. On the ground. No big deal.]

[Very slowly, she raises her hand in a thumbs up, but she groans and doesn't bother to get up just yet.]

[Maya, stop falling on your face]

ii

[meowbel]

[And here, Mabel just happened to be checking out the newest and most awesomest stuff that Cerealia has to offer here! Of course, after everything that happened, all the girl really wanted was a distraction.

In the middle of looking through the windows, that's when she heard some squealing from Waddles. Being curious, she turned around to find one Maya Fey landing right on top of her!]

W-Whoa...!! If you wanted a hug, all you had to do was ask Maya...!

[feytality]

[Mabel is probably one of the few people actually smaller than Maya, so this is quite unfortunate indeed]

Eeep!

[she does her best to roll off of Mabel once she realizes her mistake, but that mostly ends up with her hitting the ground]

S-Sorry, sorry Mabel!

IV

[shroudedinsecrecy]

...no?

[Cousin, please]

[The question momentarily caught Iris off-guard. Why would someone think Mosley could be reached through her device? Although...after a moment's pause, the voice asking said question registered in her mind, and she let out a soft gasp.]

Mystic Maya! Is...that's you, isn't it?

[A small wave of relief washed over her. Mixed with a sense of convenience, considering she'd been meaning to contact her anyway.]

[feytality]

[Don't judge her, cousin!!]

[At least Iris isn't tricking her into thinking she's Mosley. That would be embarrassing for both of them (cough Jaune)]

Oh, yeah, it's me.

[and wait, that voice sounds familiar]

...Iris? Why do you have Mosley's CeresVice?

ii

[bloodbiter]

[with the status effect she's under, she's easier than normal to topple over, so - yep, both of them sure are on the ground once maya slams into her. she takes a moment to collect herself, pressing a hand to her head to try and stop the vertigo as it comes flooding back in. distractedly, as she picks herself up:]

It's no trouble, Star, really. Are you alright?

[extending a hand down to maya once she's standing herself. if there's anything strange about what she just said, she doesn't seem to realize it.]

[feytality]

Oof!

[aaaand down they go in a tangle of limbs. Maya's much slower to get up, and she only does it when she's got the hand extended. But she frowns in confused at the name]

....I think you mistook me for someone else...?

[she remembers this girl, but it was kind of in a flurry of Hunger Game nonsense, so maybe she just misremembered her name or something? Or she's calling her a movie star?]

Phase III

[bewrightback]

[While en route to the apartment building to check up on more of the group, Phoenix looked down to investigate the hand suddenly on his ankle. Considering what he had been through earlier? He was a little spooked by something suddenly grabbing him.

But this wasn't any something!]

Maya?!

[It was Maya! As relieved as he was to see her alive and as Maya-ish as ever, he soon gives her a flat look.]

...Why? [That's the only word he can find to summarize this situation.]

[feytality]

[It is something. It's an assistant!! But while he's shocked, she doesn't seem to have heard him clearly. She, still on her hands and knees on the ground, pats at his leg this time, and frowns.]

...Is this a person?

[She seems genuinely confused about this]

i

[prosecutory]

[After Athena told Edgeworth that Maya disappeared, he did not expect to see her materialize right in the middle of a bookstore. Sorry, instead of catching him at the comic shelves, he's in the thriller mystery novel aisle and he's so shocked that he actually jumps back and sees what - or rather, who - popped in on his shopping time.]

What the - Maya?!

[He sets aside the book he had been looking at and extends a hand for her.] Are you all right?

1/2 i lost this tag twice fml

[feytality]

[Maya Fey: Bringing Edgeworth's thriller books to life]

[Fortunately (?), Maya doesn't seem to notice how much she made him jump. She doesn't seem to notice much of anything. Up until he holds his hand out to her, she has this complete look of blankness on her face--]

[Until she looks up and sees the outstreched hand, then hears him talk]

H... huh?

[feytality]

[Aaaaand she's suddenly hyperaware that he's there and addressing her.]

[Which means she's ignoring his outstretched hand, and attempting -- and failing--- to stumble to her feet]

W...Where am I? Where are they?! Kazoo, Mr. Gavin, Polly, Mr. Wolfwood--

[Is she not in the Nexus Code anymore? WHAT THE FRESH HELL IS THIS]

IV

[mieldelimon]

I'm afriaaaad... it's not.

Sorry!

[feytality]

---What? Are you sure? You kinda sound like him...

[Apparently....?]

II

[faithfulflame]

[Crash away, Maya. Rei's arms are spread wide the moment she spots you and whump. guess who's being picked up.]

You should be more careful, Maya-chan.

[feytality]

Oh, s-sorry... [And the day is saved!! She is travel-sized for convenience, thankfully]

--Rei?
