Phoebe Dawn: New Horizons on Tielcrest Island

You can ask me anything your heart desires, sparky. My temper isn't that hot at all! My feathers on the other hand, please keep your flammable halloween costumes far, far away from me... (Sideblog of thestaticsquirrel)

Velma: *She nervously dialed Phoebe's phone number, hoping that she will pick up. As much as she wanted to write Phoebe a letter, the phone call was the preferred option. She took a deep breath, thinking that after this they were all going to go stargazing.* B-blih.. U-umm.. H-hello..! T-this is V-Velma, blih... I-I wanted t-to call y-you because K-Kat and I t-thought the t-time was r-right to g-go stargazing.. U-uhh.. D-does tonight s-sound good t-to you, blih..? -askvelmathegoat

(Phoebe) Yeah! Tonight sounds good, sparky. My TV show’s a rerun anyways since it’s in between seasons. I’ll meet you two at the airport, and Kat and you can take it from there. Should I bring a blanket to lay down on? Actually, I think I might just do that anyways. This is gonna be a nice and relaxing ladies night!

Phoebe hangs up the phone, grabs her backup blanket from the closet, and begins to head for the Tielcrest airport, on her way to Stardust.

*Velma smiled and breathed a sigh of relief, now that she knew that Phoebe was going to be on her way to Stardust, and then the ladies’ stargazing night can begin. Velma put her phone away as she made her way towards the Stardust airport, meeting Kat on the way there.* 

Velma: H-hello Kat, blih..! *she waves* P-phoebe said t-that tonight s-sounded good to h-her for u-us to g-go stargazing t-together.. *she smiles* 

Mayor Kat: Really?! That’s awesome! But wait! I forgot my stargazing stuff.. it’s cold! *she shivers* Wait a minute, I have magic! *she waved her wand and then the stargazing stuff teleported straight into her arms* There’s my stuff! 

Velma: N-now t-that we b-both have o-our stargazing t-things ready.. l-let’s go t-to the a-airport, blih..! I-I don’t w-want to b-be late.. *worry* 

*Velma and Kat both made their way to the airport, now waiting on Phoebe to arrive from the island of Tielcrest.*

[flamingostrichphoebe]

Phoebe soon showed up, as she got off the plane she carried a rolled up blanket in her wing. The air around her was warmer as she was radiating to keep her body heat up in the wintry weather.

(Wilbur) Delta oscar delta oscar has landed. When you’re ready to wing back, let me know. OH uh, Bravo-tango-whiskey, Phoebe, uh, thanks for the warm flight…my heater’s been broken…sigh, i really gotta get it fixed.

(Phoebe salutes Wilbur) No problem. Least I could do.

(Phoebe turns around to greet Velma and Kat) Hello. friends! I brought a blanket big enough for all of us, sparky. At least I hope it is. I don’t want us laying down on snow mounds only for them to get melted, just cuz the snow melted around me…that would make your clothes all wet and chilly.

[askvelmathegoat]

*Velma smiled, shyly waving hello to Phoebe. Kat also was happy to see Phoebe as well, jumping up and down in excitement. It can finally begin!* 

Velma: H-hello, blih..! T-thank you f-for bringing u-us a b-blanket.. i-it looks n-nice and c-comfortable, blih.. *she smiles* 

Mayor Kat: Hi Phoebe!! I brought us snacks, and that blanket is amazing! *she giggles* I wanted to say thanks for helping Velma get better when she was sick, she’s herself again thanks to our help! 

Velma: B-blih..! T-that’s embarrassing, blih..! *she blushes* B-but thank y-you so m-much again f-for making m-me feel b-better you t-two.. t-that’s why w-we’re stargazing t-tonight, blih.. *she smiles shyly* 

Mayor Kat: Yeah! Now let’s go stargazing! *she points to the starry sky happily* 

[flamingostrichphoebe]

Phoebe blushes bashfully, her cheeks turning a bright yellow.

(Phoebe) It was nothing, really, sparky. Mom did the same for me. And thanks for being my third and fourth hands, Kat. Or rather, letting me be your third and fourth wings.

(Phoebe) I bet a good spot would be some place far from anyone’s house, where the artificial lighting can’t make it harder for us to see. Do you know a real good spot like that Kat?

Phoebe’s eyes indicate a smile.

(Phoebe) It was nothing. The best I could do for a friend. (bashfulness) Would you and Kat still like to take me up on that offer to go stargazing sometime? It’s getting cold so I could stick between you guys and keep ya warm while we’re at it.

@askvelmathegoat

[askvelmathegoat]

Velma: I-I wouldn’t m-mind, blih… *she smiles a little* I-I don’t k-know about h-how Kat w-would feel a-about that t-though so I-I’ll text h-her about i-it.. *she gets out her phone and starts texting Kat, being careful not to make any typos* 

[Velma: Phoebe, from the island of Tielcrest, was wondering what you thought about the three of us going stargazing together sometime? 

Kat 🌠: id love to do that! stargazing is so much fun and I want her to see all sorts of stars! 🌌

Velma: I will let her know then, thank you for answering me!] 

Velma: *she is done texting Kat, and then looks up to Phoebe to tell her the response* K-Kat says y-yes, blih..! 

[flamingostrichphoebe]

(Phoebe displays joy) “Fantastic! When you two think the time is right, call me and I’ll be over in a jiffy! It’ll be like a little ladies’ night, if only for a short while, sparky. We can have some spiced cider afterward too.”

[askvelmathegoat]

Velma: *She nods* O-okay, blih..! I-I’ll do m-my best t-to let y-you know..  I-I bet K-Kat can s-show you a-all sorts o-of stars.. and I-I would l-love to s-show you t-the moon, blih..! *She smiles, thinking about the stargazing the three of them will do together someday.*

What happens if you get put into frozen water

(Phoebe) I can thaw out and dry myself off pretty quickly by heating my feathers, so aside from the initial shock it’s a thing I can quickly recover from. Hypothermia be damned, sparky. But now that you mention it, that is a thing certain avian species do to prepare for the winter months.

(Phoebe) Like, you might see a cardinal or something splashing around in a nearly frozen birdbath. They’re getting their feathers ready for the cold temperatures ahead. Throw me in a freezing cold river and you’re basically just winterizing my feathers. Not that we need it though, Jacques and I have evolved beyond that point.

Hiatus over

I feel like the stressors in my life have mostly come to pass, so I’ve opened up asks again.

[thestaticsquirrel]

Hiatus

Some things are going on in my life and I need to take a break from Tumblr for a little while. I’m sorry for any inconveniences this might cause, but I have some stress I need to work off of.

As soon as I can figure things out, I may return, but for now I’mma be closing asks and submissions for a while.

[flamingostrichphoebe]

Omg! I love you! You are best sisterly villager! Very sweet! Can I hug you?😊

Phoebe blushed. “Awh. Sure thing! I don’t mind hugging a fan!”

Phoebe opened her wings wide.

[nooksinc]

(Phoebe offers Tom Nook a mug of coffee.) Here Mr. Nook, you look like you need something to give you a perk up. I uh, don't know what you like, sparky, sorry about that. if you need any cream or sugar you can add that to the cup.

[flamingostrichphoebe]

(Phoebe) “Neh, don’t bother paying, sparky. I made the stuff fresh at home. You do a lot for us already. This is the least I can do.”

[nooksinc]

"That's very kind of you. Thanks much!...Still, I can't help but feel like I must give you something in return, but I guess bells are out of the question, hm? ...Please, if there's anything you need to be done, don't hesitate to come to me first!"

[flamingostrichphoebe]

You are very caring, Phoebe, have you ever wanted to be a doctor or nurse?

Phoebe taxes her mind, rubbing a wing on her head. “Perhaps once or twice in my life. *resignation* Women’s rights weren’t really big until my late years though, and I never really had the money to afford medical school anyways. *agreement* I probably would have passed the nurse’s course though if i studied enough.”

[askvelmathegoat]

Phoebe: "You've been remembering to wear a mask and wash your hands regularly haven't you Kat? Else Velma and I will be back over your house come a few days! *laughing quietly* Ahahaha! Sparky."

Mayor Kat: Yep! I'm wearing a mask right now! *she points to her mask, and smiles* Oh! And I've been washing my hands regularly, they're nice and clean! While I wanna make Velma feel better, I don't want to get sick doing so.. *worry* So I've been doing all these things so I can help her and make sure I don't get sick too! 

[flamingostrichphoebe]

(Phoebe nods) Good, good. Bless you by the way, Velma.

[shaymincafe]

(flamingostrichphoebe) A package arrived to the cafe containing a bag of medicine, a few oranges, and a slightly seared letter addressed from Phoebe of Tielcrest. It reads: "I'm sorry I could not be there in person to deliver this care package. I am currently in my friend's town of Stardust tending to her cold. I heard one of your employees were sick and needed some help, so I had my friend tell me the address to this place and I put this care kit together. Get well soon! --Phoebe H. Dawn."

“Oh!! What a wonderful gift! We’ll have to make sure she gets it right away.”

Sorry for mostly just doing RP posts the last few days. I’ve actually been on and off sick since the first week of October but what was once allergies has escalated into potentially the flu. Yay me.

Anyway I have started on the next ask but, since I have been very fatigued, plus being busy with work, I haven’t made much progress. Hope to have it done soon.

I promise I will respond to everyone’s asks for the Halloween event! They just might end up being text posts depending on how much energy I have.

Thanks for your patience and understanding!

[askvelmathegoat]

Mayor Kat: Hello, Velma! *waves* I wanted to check your temperature today because I wanna see how it is, I also have ice for you too! *smiles*

Velma: B-b-blih…. *sneezes* T-t-thank you… f-for the p-pictures l-last night.. *coughs* ..B-blih..

Mayor Kat: I can send you more pictures tonight, hehe! Now I gotta check your temperature! *checks Velma’s temperature - it reads over 100 degrees*

Velma: W-w-what.. *sniffles* ..w-what d-does it s-say, blih..? *worry* *cough*

Mayor Kat: It’s still a fever… *worry* But I do have some ice for you so it won’t feel so bad! *she puts the ice pack on Velma’s forehead*

Velma: T-thank y-you, blih…. *shivers* I-It’s c-cold.. b-but.. *sniffles* I-it feels n-nice… *sneezes* f-for m-my fever… *smiles*

Mayor Kat: If you need anything else or even just to talk, just text me okay? *smiles*

[askvelmathegoat]

((Continued from here: https://flamingostrichphoebe.tumblr.com/post/632732752565977088/mayor-kat-hello-velma-waves-i-wanted-to-check)) 

*When the both of them recieved their tea from Phoebe, Velma began to sit up a little bit in order to drink it, as she didn’t want to spill it and burn herself doing so. She smiled a little as she began to take a sip, and as Phoebe said, the extra honey did help her sore throat, it didn’t cure it instantly but it sure did help.* 

Velma: ..B-blih..! *sniffles* ..T-this.. t-this is g-g-good.. blih..! *she smiles as she carefully puts the tea down*  

*Meanwhile, Kat was excited to put lots of sugar in her tea, sugar and honey sounds good together - and she wanted to see if it actually was good together!*

Mayor Kat: It’s time to try honey tea with lots of sugar!! *she drinks it* This is like cotton candy but melted and with honey, but it’s super good and fancy! *giggles*

[flamingostrichphoebe]

Phoebe laughs quietly. “Easy with the sugar Kat you’ll be bouncing all over the walls and stuff.”

Phoebe then turns to Velma with an eye smile. “I’m glad the tea is helping you Velma. Let me know if you need more, I can give you a refill. That is if you’d like it.”

[askvelmathegoat]

Mayor Kat: Hello, Velma! *waves* I wanted to check your temperature today because I wanna see how it is, I also have ice for you too! *smiles*

Velma: B-b-blih…. *sneezes* T-t-thank you… f-for the p-pictures l-last night.. *coughs* ..B-blih..

Mayor Kat: I can send you more pictures tonight, hehe! Now I gotta check your temperature! *checks Velma’s temperature - it reads over 100 degrees*

Velma: W-w-what.. *sniffles* ..w-what d-does it s-say, blih..? *worry* *cough*

Mayor Kat: It’s still a fever… *worry* But I do have some ice for you so it won’t feel so bad! *she puts the ice pack on Velma’s forehead*

Velma: T-thank y-you, blih…. *shivers* I-It’s c-cold.. b-but.. *sniffles* I-it feels n-nice… *sneezes* f-for m-my fever… *smiles*

Mayor Kat: If you need anything else or even just to talk, just text me okay? *smiles*

[askvelmathegoat]

((Continued from here: https://flamingostrichphoebe.tumblr.com/post/632637728325042176/))

Velma: *sniffles* I-I.. I-I d-don’t mind a-at a-..achoo..! *sneezes* a-all.. b-blih.. 

Mayor Kat: *speaking softly still* Yeah! It’s super awesome! Like it’s just a big button with many fun things you can do! *smiles* 

*Velma feels warmth from Phoebe still, but now it doesn’t overpower the ice that Kat gave her. She hoped that one day she will get better, and she too could feel that warmth from the sun and feel the cold temperatures of the late fall weather once again. It was then that whatever Velma and Kat were doing was now interrupted by Phoebe’s offer of tea.* 

Velma: *coughs and nods* Y-y-yes, blih… *smiles a little* 

Mayor Kat: I’d love to have some tea! There’s so many cool things it does and it’s so fancy too! *encouragement* 

[flamingostrichphoebe]

(Phoebe eye-smiles) “Right on it! Extra honey for your sore throat Velma? And how much do you want in yours Kat? Or are you more comfortable adding your own finishing touches?”

* By weird ask blog logic, muses houses may or may not have multiple rooms in blog, much like their human residents. Phoebe either heads into the kitchen, or a kitchen corner, to get some water boiling. She fills a normal saucepan with water as opposed to a teapot, as she’s afraid of exacerbating any sort of sinus headache Velma might have as a result of her cold. This may take a while.

[askvelmathegoat]

Velma: *sneezes* B-b-blih–choo..! *blows her nose* Y-yes, blih… *she nods and smiles at Phoebe, as she does have a headache, she started to lay back down to try to make her head hurt as much but she does appreciate all the help that Kat and Phoebe are giving her.* 

Mayor Kat: I’d like a good amount of honey! Like not too little but not a lot, like medium honey! So I can add sugar and stuff if there is some! *smiles* 

[flamingostrichphoebe]

* Phoebe is texting Nick the Human about how Jacques’ situation, and that there’s a spare key to her house under her smoker, and to use it to give Jacques a box of tissues from her closet, and to ask Static for an ice sack and a thermometer. Neither Kat nor Velma should know any of this. As she hits the send button she hears the pot begin to bubble rapidly.

* Phoebe proceeds to get some clean cups out of the cupboard, a spoon from the drawer, and some honey, sugar, and tea bags out of the pantry, and a stick of cinnamon for herself. She places one tea bag in each cup. She pours the water from the saucepan in each cup, giving herself one teaspoon of honey, in addition to the cinnamon stick, two in Kat’s cup, and three in Velma’s cup. The teacups shouldn’t be that small so the honey shouldn’t overwhelm. She brings Velma her cup, and then she brings Kat hers, being careful not to burn either of them with her radiant feather heat, before grabbing her own.
