Seven Bells: [ACTION/WRITTEN] Hat Day.

[simplestgift]

[Citizens of Luceti may see Archie Kennedy wandering around with a new hat today. It looks a little like something a magician would pull a rabbit out of, but he seems to be enjoying it. He'll be around town today--the library and grocery store during the day, and Good Spirits in the evening. In the afternoon, he'll sit at the fountain to pen a few words.]

I believe morale might improve if we had some sort of goodbye ceremony for those who were returned home. Not a funeral, mind you, just an occasion to remember them, celebrate their return, and hope to join them soon. Perhaps once a month or so, for everyone who left during the month. It's the little things that help one cope, sometimes.

Also, who left a note under my door? I'm afraid I can't read it, or indeed tell if it was even meant for me. I live in Building One, in the first flat on the first floor.

[ a significantly mood-improved buffy will be passing by the fountain right about when archie's getting his penmanship on.

give her a moment to deal with that hat. ]

[the warmer weather means she's spending more time outside, enjoying the sun, so she's out and about during the afternoon in plenty of time to see this.

She can't help but laugh when she catches sight of him, one hand coming up to cover her smile briefly]

What's the occasion, Archie?

[simplestgift]

[He's completely oblivious.]

[herotypical]

Uhm, Archie?

[simplestgift]

[He halts on his way back from the library and looks a tad puzzled by her reaction.]

Nothing that I'm aware of.

[simplestgift]

Yes?

[herotypical]

Please, please tell me you're wearing that very ironically.

[He puffs out his breath and takes the hat off.] What? What's wrong with it? [Brushing any potential dust off it now.]

[herotypical]

...It makes you look like you need a monocle.

[simplestgift]

[He puts it back on.] It keeps the sun off my neck.

[herotypical]

Archie, hun? There's barely any sun yet to keep off anything -- necks or otherwise.

[simplestgift]

I can wear it through the summer, then.

[herotypical]

...You're serious?

[Pfft. He takes off the hat.]

[herotypical]

...I was kinda wigging there for a moment.

[At some point Jack will happen into Good Spirits, in a very cheerful mood indeed. He takes several steps back when he sees Kennedy in that hat.]

Kennedy...

[Lucy is about to enter the grocery store when she sees him and his formidable example of haberdashery. She gives a cheery wave.]

Hello there, Mr. Kennedy! It's quite a nice hat you're wearing.

[simplestgift]

[Have a slightly embarrassed Englishman.]

[simplestgift]

...Yes?

That sounds like an excellent idea. It would be a shame if we were to forget those who have returned home. Is there a list of the villagers who have disappeared previously?

[simplestgift]

Why, thank you, Miss Lucy! [In response, he touches the brim to her as a playful salute.] You're looking lovely this afternoon.

[herotypical]

Where'd you get it, anyway?

[written]

[simplestgift]

Not that I'm aware of. I'm sure if we asked everyone, we could compile one, even if it isn't quite complete.
