01, Full Cure / Braska's shack

[endsorrow]

Braska's little shop hasn't changed much since he's opened it. It's a little round building, rimmed with a little but thriving flower garden that expands in the backyard to include a small selection of local crops and herbs. Hanging over the door is a brightly painted sign; translators will read the writing as saying "HEALER."

The door is, quite literally, open when the weather allows, and in these cases, instead there hangs a doorway curtain depicting either ocean waves or distant mountains. Stepping inside will take you to a main room that serves as a sitting and dining area. There are a couple of other exits leading elsewhere in the house, but given the size of the building on the outside, those rooms can't be very big. There's an obvious preference for warm fabrics in the decorations, and something smells faintly floral, maybe with a hint of morning dew, or freshly cut grass, even though there are no house plants...

There's also an incredibly hideous couch among the furniture. Yes, complete with the green gorilla, who actually now has a friend, a spider stuffed animal from Blackmoon.

Upon approaching Full Cure today, Braska can be found outside tending the garden, or inside tending a mug of tea and reading a book. As ever, he is wearing robes and his heavy-looking headdress.

Either way, he will look up when he hears an approach, and his immediate greeting is a relaxed smile. "Welcome. It's good to see you."

02, the library / the resort

Braska's recent interests have been in poetry. He's always had a fondness for beautiful words, though he's never felt he's been good enough at it himself -- not in the same way. Creativity has simply never been his strong suit. But he can absorb these thoughts, these revelations of heart and soul, immortalized in these pages. So many of these things? He can relate to. He can draw parallels to Spira. These words, composed by these artists so many worlds away from Spira, so different... but, in so many respects, so very similar.

Or, you know. Not, in the case of many of these books written by stranger races. But Braska reads them all the same, some for the entertainment, some for his curiousity about how these different peoples think.

So, today, Braska can be found curled up in a chair with a stack of books piled on a table next to him. Or, he can be found perusing the shelves, a collection of books growing in his arms. Or, he can be found giggling to himself, bent over a book at a table.

03, Mr. Jellicles / the arcade

Bright lights! Cheerful music! A building full of machina that exist purely for entertainment!

Braska loves it.

He doesn't know why he hasn't visited this place before. He's very glad that he went on his little expedition today. Originally, he was just going to go deliver some vegetables to the family of one of his patients, but on his way back home, he decided to take a detour, and... Wow. Wow, wow, goodness, wow.

Congratulations, whoever so happens to be visiting Mr. Jellicles on this very day. Because you get to witness Braska trying very hard to play some alien version of Dance Dance Revolution. He's even holding his robes up so he doesn't trip himself on them with one hand; the other is trying to keep his headdress from falling off. And if he notices that he's losing horribly at the game? He doesn't seem to care at all. He's bright-eyed and laughing all the same.
