Hello Luceti and hello especially to all the New Feathers! I know how scary it must be to arrive here and not have a clue about what's going on but I promise you everything's going to be okay. You just need to be extra specially careful and look after yourself and your friends, and everything should turn out to be a-okay in the end. And if you don't know anybody here then don't worry, you can always come and talk to me if you like. My name's Milly Wolfwood and today it's been one whole year since I arrived in Luceti.
At first I thought it was all a very strange dream, because I came from a place where we don't have many trees or even seasons like we do here, but when I realised it wasn't I was a little bit confused, and it was especially confusing for me because the person who actually convinced me it was really happening was somebody I didn't think I would ever get the chance to see again, so I suppose I should really thank the Malnosso for bringing me here so I could see him again.
[She's quiet for a little bit, smiling to herself.]
So that's one thing you should remember about being here: no matter how bad it might seem, there is always something good that can come out of it. I suppose I'm really lucky that I had my friends here to greet me, and even though my best friend Meryl isn't here anymore and she's gone back home... there's always something to make you want to keep your chin up and look forward. And I have a lot to look forward to right now, I'm really a very lucky person. I've made wonderful new friends, I found my special someone when I never thought I would get to speak to him ever again, and then we got married last year and now...
[Oh what the heck, she can't help herself here, she's going to laugh because she's really so happy she can't contain herself.]
Now we're going to have a baby!

How are you Miss Nami?

Date: 2012-03-05 02:24 pm (UTC)WHAT?!
[Whoops. Give her a second to race up to your room. Hope Milly's decent, because Amelia kind of forgets to knock before she opens the door.]
Milly...what...

Date: 2012-03-05 02:29 pm (UTC)And gosh Amelia, that is extremely loud, how can so much noise come from such a petite girl like you?]
Good morning Amelia!

[This is so weird.]
Uh. You said...baby?

Date: 2012-03-05 02:45 pm (UTC)[Why yes, her hand is on her tummy, not that there's any visible difference about it just yet.]
Sorry to surprise you like that, but it was a bit of a surprise for us too.
no subject
Date: 2012-03-05 02:56 pm (UTC)[Amelia's still shocked here. Milly doesn't mind if Amelia sort of just stares at that hand, does she?]
...A baby.
no subject
Date: 2012-03-05 02:58 pm (UTC)That's right! A brand new little Wolfwood.
no subject
Date: 2012-03-05 03:03 pm (UTC)[Oh that's right. Wolfwood's going to be a dad. Amelia may just have to
project some of her own unresolved issuestalk to him then.Speaking of, Amelia actually dares to take a step closer to the bed.]
You're seeing a doctor, right? I mean...they're going to take care of you.

Date: 2012-03-05 03:11 pm (UTC)I've already been to see Doctor Law twice; once when he told me about the baby and then again on Saturday when Nico was feeling better so he could have a look at the baby with me. Everything looks really good, we're both doing just fine.

Date: 2012-03-05 05:28 pm (UTC)Okay. Good. [She might still look completely lost though. Because she is.] Is there, um, anything I can do? You've been sick....

Date: 2012-03-05 08:59 pm (UTC)... Pregnant?! [Oh jesus he let a pregnant woman engage her crazy husband. He's going to heeeeeeeeeeell]

Date: 2012-03-05 11:24 pm (UTC)[She pauses for a little when she sees how shaken Amelia looks.]
Goodness are you alright? You look terribly shaken...

Date: 2012-03-05 11:25 pm (UTC)Mm hmm, I've already been twice! I didn't want to say anything until we knew that everything was a-okay with the baby and it is.

Date: 2012-03-05 11:34 pm (UTC)Thank you very much, I really am!

Be glad she doesn't need to ask how babies are made.]Huh? Oh, sorry. I'm just kind of surprised. I've never really been around anyone having a baby.
no subject
Date: 2012-03-06 03:54 am (UTC)[And she is taking it in her stride.]
But you know, having a baby here in Luceti takes less time than it does back on Gunsmoke. It's kind of strange really.

Date: 2012-03-06 04:51 am (UTC)I'm sorry Mr. Vash, I did mean to tell you at the weekend but you were nowhere to be found!
[And then she draws back, giving him a HUGE smile.]
Congratulations Mr. Vash, you're going to be a godfather... if that's alright with you, of course.
