Popped out of the snow! Like daisies! [Open]
WHO: Coraline and anyone who spots her
WHAT: Rediscovering old powers and learning their new rules
WHERE: Everywhere >8D
WHEN: November catch-all
NOTES: TBA
"I wanna try something."
The comment comes largely out of nowhere, which isn't atypical for Coraline who simply says whatever’s on her mind; however, for the past minute or so she's been giving the door an intently thoughtful stare.
"It should be fine. If it works. I think."
Open EVERYWHERE
And with her security check out of the way, knowing she's not going to properly trap or fuck herself over? Now it's time to do it for fun.
It's a simple process: burn Glamour, open door, try not to fall over when she struts out of a wardrobe or an outhouse door or a ceiling hatch in another part of the continent. And ignore the weird looks she gets for walking around in her obviously Free Cities outfit.
That's not so bad when she ends up in Cadens, coming out from the back-of-house of some bar she doesn't get to learn the name of before she's chased out of it, laughing gleefully despite the threat.
It's a bit less subtle in Solvunn, when she comes out of someone's closet (ha). Still, she can jump out the second storey window easily, sliding from the tiled roof and landing lightly on a bench so she can explore the Primary Settlement.
In Nott, it's... not. At all. Especially when it turns out her exit was someone's bowed window and she immediately trips and eats shit with a sharp squeal of surprise.
And it takes her a hot minute to recognise the alley she ends up in from the door that opens into it, and she's quick to turn and wade into the thick of the city's crowds, but she pauses in shock and stares, when she recognises Thorne Castle looming overhead. And despite herself, she hears the quiet growl of her two dogs suddenly manifesting, brushing against her sided protectively before she can get a handle on that sharp stab of fear in her guts.

There's a lot about the way Coraline said that that makes him wary. Starting with how the words came just after that staring and ending with the lack of definition provided around 'something'.
Also that 'should'.
'Should' has never done well by him.
no subject
"Sounds mysterious. Ya gonna explain or were ya planning on keepin' us in the dark? Kiryu-chan might pop a blood vessel or somethin' if ya keep him in suspense too long."
He teased gently to keep the conversation light while still urging her to explain. And also because quite frankly Kiryu made an easy target.
Nott
Her clothes are still stained. Bloodstains don't come out easily, and she's not about to throw away a perfectly usable shirt and shawl over a little thing like black stains and mended holes. She braids her hair, hides it under her cap, and heads out to the docks to make a few coins...
...only to almost trip over a young woman falling out of a window. She jumps back half a foot, swearing, and only then recognises Coraline. Hurrying forwards again, she offers the other girl a hand up.
"The fuck are 'ee doin' here?"
