I've been having issues with my router and my browser crashes whenever I'm writing something. This is my third attempt at writing this. I'll try to get a post up as soon as I fix my router. I have another one. All I need is to connect it now.

Alexandra did found her glasses with the help of a man that she could only recognize through his voice and the nickname he had for her. Capello. He was the only one that called her Adonia, and seriously, Alexandra did not mind. It was a compliment after all. She put on her glasses and took use Capello's arm to push herself up.

"Thank you." She said, letting him know that it was safe to look at her now. He was right. It was an energetic morning. There was a new resident checking out the flowers and another one at the entrance. She made a mental note that she had to get to know them another time. Now, and after the embarrassing fall that she took, all she wanted to do was go inside and stop the magic of her necklace. "I'll be fine." She said. "I'm going inside to get rid of these damn legs. I seriously don't know how you can work with that one foot in front of the other thing. It never works for me."

She had just finished speaking when a girl jumped from a tree, following a squirrel, and just slammed her head against the wall, which made Alexandria slightly jump. "Oh my!!!. Is she ok?" She said to Capello, not really expecting a response, for the girl quickly resumed her pursuit for something. Without saying anything else, she went back inside and deactivated her necklace, returning her snake body back to her. "Ah, much better..." She thought to herself. The Landlord was there but she had no business with him that she could remember. Still, she was a bit curious as to who the new residents were, so she decided to stick by the lobby.

And my post is done. I hope you all get a kick out of it just as I did while writing it.

It was a bright sunny day, and still, Alexandra was stuck inside, reading a book with the heating on. Heat was a necessity for her, so she always made sure to keep her room heated up, lowering it slightly only during the night. She had just finished reading the third of the nine books that she had gotten for today and was now checking if all the information was in place. She had an holographic display of a search engine right in front of her and her fingers moved in the holographic keyboard as she typed the tittles of the books she had read so far. "The Serpent on the Crown", a mystery book about Archaeology, "Tesla: The Lost Inventions", a book about the great inventor Nikolai Tesla, and "Fifty shades of Grey" A more... personal choice. This last one had given her a slight blush.

After checking out that all the information was there, which made her blush even more after checking the third book, she decided it was time for her normal routine of getting used to her new human shoes and, more importantly, her human legs. She still didn't had it quite figured out. Every now and then, her legs would just stop responding, or do the exact opposite of what her brain told them to, and she would have to change back to her snake body. She still didn't knew what the cause was, but she felt as if it was only a matter of getting used to them. After activating her necklace, which gave her a pair of human legs and transformed the snakes on her head in to normal strands of hair, she put on her human clothes and walked outside her apartment.

She reached the entrance door with no problem and realized that there were three persons outside, two of them yokais that she had seen before, but before she could greet them, she tripped on herself and fell on the floor. She managed to break the fall using her arms, but her most prized possession, her glasses, fell from her face. She immediately closed her eyes and faced the floor, moving her hands from side to side in a desperate attempt to find her glasses. She couldn't find him, so she took a quick peek at the floor in hopes of being able to see them. It was no use. Everything was so blurred out that all she could see was shades of grey from the path, and about fifteen of them. Knowing that the others would still be around the entrance, she called out to them.

"Excuse me" she said. "Could you help me find my glasses?" Still she refused to look at them, not because she wanted to be rude, but because she didn't want them to be petrified. Besides, she was outside and there were eyes and ears all around.

I've added a weakness that I felt was necessary for my character before I posted. Post will be up soon.

Primrose Terrace

My character would have been there for about a year. Also would like to say that even though her pendant gives her a human form, it doesn't stop her petrifying stare. There is a possibility for a random human to be petrified.

I will post later today if my internet allows it. I'm currently on my phone and my router is being slightly temperamental.

Also I would pose the question that can shapeshifters, at least dedicated shapeshifters, even be petrified. Couldn't they just shape-change back?

I do believe that they can. It's the entire being that is petrified, not just the skin. That includes brain, muscles, organs, etc... Try to think of it like... time suddenly stops for you and for you only, At least that's how I envision the gorgon's petrifying stare to be.

Clumsy girl who can petrify with her stare."Oh hey Alex.""Hi Cap-*trip, glasses fall off*"....whew, glad that was just the illusion version of m-*stone**ten minutes later* "HOW DO YOU EVEN TRIP WITH A SNAKE BODY?!"

You sir, are a mind reader.

I'm gonna make mine the glass-wearing clumsy girl. I like to add comedy when I'm roleplaying.

More of a snake person myself.

So am I, hence why I made mine a gorgon.
