[Still Action Because...Well.]
[Makie's general thoughts on Luceti, once she gets used to the place (somewhat), are to make sure she earns her keep but, in general, fade into the background as much as possible. She's currently residing at the castle that is house 44, though she still hasn't met all the residents there. Makie is notorious for keeping to herself.
That doesn't mean she won't be seen all over town in the next few days, however, shamisen in hand. Errands, mainly. She has to return to Community Building #1 in the hopes that the journal she's supposed to have got left behind in Alexei's, uh... bathroom... and thank him for the courtesy he showed when she arrived. But on the ground floor, you see, there is an elevator, and...
...yeah, she doesn't really know what that is. After a minute or so of peering at it in confusion, she'll take the stairs.
Probably.
Other places she visits are the memory garden, the tea house, Seventh Heaven (to take up duties as a dishwasher, so mainly out of sight of the customers), and up to the farmlands just for the sake of exploration.
Eventually, she also visits the battledome, because she's been told about it and she is curious. But she likely won't stay long, because technology is intimidating, so after peering with a half-glazed expression at various controls and such, she leaves again, unless otherwise distracted. Such a place is no doubt for you magical types or...something.]
((ooc: this entry brought to you by the need to get a whole bunch of small things out of the way at once. Assume various parts take place over the 18th-21st for the sake of flexibility.))

[Action] Had to. |D
It travels up and down. If you go inside it, it can take you to a different floor without having to use the stairs.
[Action] Of course!
(Is it?)
Her lean forward is very carefully not quite over the threshold.] How does it work?
[Action]
[Action]
I... see...
[Action]
I'm pulling your leg. It's harmless, promise.
[Action]
So how does it really work?
[Action]
[Action]
[Action]
[Action]
This is a machine, isn't it. [This classification seems important to her, okay. She reaches out to touch the button gently, pushing it with ridiculous slow caution until it lights up and she pulls her hand away.] And so there are these on the inside, too?
[Action]
[Action]
To her credit, she doesn't flinch when the door opens. But after one vaguely wary look Shikamaru's way, she puts her hand up against the lift doorframe as if that could stop the doors sliding shut again, and then leans around to look at the buttons.
Never has someone investigated an elevator with such deadly seriousness. Except, you know. The last six times someone undoubtedly went through this. >>]
[Action]
See 'em?
[Besides the buttons for each floor, there's no doubts extras: ones for closing and opening the doors, etc.]
[Action]
[Even without never seeing them before, it's obvious what they're for.] So if I wanted to go to the fourth floor of this building, I just press the four.
[Straightforward. She shuffles forward into the elevator a half step, still leery about this. But running away from a machine isn't her style.]
[Action]
[Action]
Do you know your neighbours well?
[Action]
Pretty well, yeah. [All of them but Masaomi are from his world, after all.] You visiting someone there?
[Action]
[--ACK MOVING. Distracted. Her hand goes out to the wall as if she's worried about falling over. Blink blink. After a second:] Alexei... Denoia?
[This feels weird. Trying not to feel claustrophobic, now. >>]
[Action]
Yeah, Alexei. I kinda know him. White hair, right? [He reaches out to push the button for the third floor too now. Hopefully before they go past it, but it might not be quick enough.] He's on the floor under me.
[Action]
White hair, yes. [Though feeling unbalanced, she is reassured by Shikamaru's total lack of caring.] I suppose I didn't remember correctly after all. Thank you, though.
[Action]
[Yup, sure enough. Going right past it. He tsks quietly.]
[Action]
[Action]
[Action]
{She looks faintly dismayed at that. Gdit, does nothing around here work normally? Her hand catches at the wall for balance again as the elevator stops, but it's not quite as startled as the first time.] I wonder why they want us to keep hold of them so badly.
[Oh, is the door opening? :D She steps out quickly. She can always walk back down one floor.]
