17th Star

[Action; 747 Partridge; Saturday morning]

[Well, it's been a few days since the end of the event, when Lyon stormed up to her room and locked herself in out of sheer embarrassment.  She was droned for seemingly no reason about ten minutes after that, and Mayfield's been treated to the cheerful drone named Mismar bouncing around town in her place ever since - doing her hair up in curls, going on dates with the Prince's drone, and just generally having a nice relaxing time in the wonderful town of Mayfield.

...All of that comes to an abrupt end on Saturday morning, however, as a red beam of light tears through the roof of 747 Partridge Drive, bright enough and wide enough to be seen from anywhere in town.]

[Phone; filtered from drones]

...Hello, everyone.  It's Lyon.  I'm back.  How long has it been here?  And can anyone help repair a hole in a roof?

[ There was a war? Meiling doesn't remember, but it's not like she has to ask about it, now. ] That's great news! I'm glad to hear it. [ Though the gatekeeper's also sorry that she ended up back in Mayfield again... ]

[sparkling_eyes]

I got promoted, too! I'm a full fledged Queen's Knight now.

[not_so_great_wall]

[ A little astonished. ] Whoa, that's almost like something out of a comic. Good for you, Lyon!

[sparkling_eyes]

[Lyon smiles, blushing a little. She never did know how to take a compliment.]

Thanks.

[not_so_great_wall]

Does the title come with anything else? I'm wondering if things will start showing up here for you because of it. [ She takes a long sip from her tea, drinking it all down before it got lukewarm. ]

[sparkling_eyes]

Well, I did get a new uniform. I only have my old one here right now, from when I was still an apprentice. Maybe I could trade it for the new one at the Post Office.

[not_so_great_wall]

Clothes are good! It took me a while to get all of mine back, but at least I was lucky enough to get my hat first. [ Which, even if she doesn't wear it everywhere, the star is usually pinned to her dress in some fashion. ]

[sparkling_eyes]

I know what you mean. I feel a lot more comfortable wearing things from home.

[not_so_great_wall]

Definitely! Though I don't mind what they have here, either. I mean, it's sad that the man who made me that one dress is gone, but I've never worn anything like they had in this era, so it's all a different experience.

[sparkling_eyes]

I suppose you're right about that.

[not_so_great_wall]

[ Finished with that tea, now, Meiling stretches her arms out over her head. ] I should probably get back to it, now that I've taken a little break. I'll tell you when I'm all done!

[sparkling_eyes]

All right! Thanks again, Meiling, I really appreciate it.

[not_so_great_wall]

You're welcome, Lyon. See you later! [ With a little wave, she flies back up through the whole to get back to completing the job. ]
