Guys, guys. So I thought maybe I got jipped with the whole feather thing, because seriously who wants to turn into a hedgehog all the time? But then the fairies were all "hey, great job, what do you want?" and look at what I got.
[ Rachel's outside, looking way, way too bright and shiny and happy. practically giddy. she's got her locket set on --something about shoulder height, just so she can hold up her finger and hop a few paces back before holding up THIS. it's obvious she's pretty in love with it, because her smile hasn't faded in the least bit, and she's not exactly bouncing with energy, but she's close. there's definitely a little bit of excited bopping going ]
Isn't it beautiful? This gorgeous, shiny, sexy, powerful weapon is all mine now. Which is so great because I've been wanting to learn how to shoot better and now I actually can without going into the armory all the time, and look. This isn't even the best part.
[ she turns her back to the camera as she reaches behind her to grab her ( also gold! ) arrow from the thin quiver at her back, quickly turning and loading up so she can shoot at a target that's off screen. no, she's not a pro. her form is amateurish at best ( thanks, fancy finishing school ) and she takes a good thirty seconds to really line up her shot and go for it. but when she does, there's a tell-tale thunk of the arrow hitting her target. and no, for anyone keeping score, it's not in the center, but that's okay. that's not the important part. the important part happens a few seconds later when she turns her back to the camera again, and the arrow is right back where she pulled it from. ]
How awesome is this? Gods! I'm going to practice all the time. And then I'll actually be able to help more here, and- [ yep, that's an excited not-squeal. it's a cheer. a little "yeehee!" for herself and her excitement and her perfect boon. ]
So, who wants to give me lessons? Preferably someone on the Seelie side, yeah.

[ said with a silly voice and a wave of her hand. yes, let ol' Auntie Rachel convince the demigod squad to hang out in the same hallway using a joke about fate. sure. that'll work. ]

[ really, though- ]
You haven't actually... you know, had anything about this place yet, have you? No grand prophecy for us to worry about fulfilling?
video
No. Not even a little nightmare. [ something she should probably sound excited about, but. well. no. ] I was actually thinking about asking the king or queen about it. Nico suggested the Black Shuck, since he's tied to the fate of this place in the whole ..death way, but I don't know who would know better, honestly. There's no Apollo-ish person here to report to about my powers being useless. [ kINDA SUCKS?? ]
-- Which is good, I know it's good, since usually prophecies are just a pain for everybody, but. Yeah, I dunno.
[ makes her feel like she has no reason to be around, in a weird way she doesn't like thinking about ]
video
[ yeah. yeah, he gets that. definitely. feeling powerless is something he became all too familiar with down in the pit. ]
I dunno about the Black Shuck, but I've heard the rulers are pretty nice? Maybe you could start with them and then see if they can... point you in the right direction or something.
no subject
[ it's weird for Rachel to feel unconfident in ..anything, really, but right now it's kind of there, the way her face pinches a bit. not quite a wince, but almost ]
Maybe they just didn't need somebody with my, ah, skillset helping their cause. It happens.
