While all of this chaos was happening, Elena was in her room, turning her rug into stone and back again, over and over.
Encanto RP (Closed)
Atuñ walked over to Tia Mirabell's room, knocking softly. "Tia?"

Valentina giggled and followed Arturo. She felt something, however, pull her back. Like a string taunt between her and something else. "Wait," she whispered, a playful grin on her face. "What about our other primos, Arturo? ¿Podemos todos ir a la aventura?"

Arturo had mostly been trying to cheer Valentina up. If she wanted others to come along, and it would make her happy, that was fine with him.
"Bring whoever you want! I don't even know who's home right now, though." He smiled brightly at her.

Valentina grinned back, then pursed her lips. Without a word, she raced back upstairs, paced down the hall, and knocked on the door to Elena's room. "Prima?" she called. "I know you're in there! Come here!"
Elena looked up, pleasantly surprised. "Coming!" She called. She tied her hair into a messy ponytail with an orange ribbon and then left her room.
Atun (i have given up on trying to figure out how to do the accent thing) Sat outside of Tia Mirabell's room, hoping she would be there soon.

Arturo waited for Valentina to get back, wondering who she was planning on inviting. He noticed Atun waiting outside Tia Mirabel's door.
"Atun! You wanna come with us? I don't think Tia Mirabel is home." he called over. "Maybe she's out and about with Tia Isabella. We could try to find them both, if you need something."
"Oh! yeah, sure, I'll come" Atun stood up, walking over to him. "Where are we going?"
Elena closed her door behind her, then turned to Valentina. "What's up?"

Arturo smiled at her. "A couple of the cousins are headed down to the market in town, if you wanna come with." He could see Valentina and Elena heading back towards them.
"Sure! that sounds fun. How long do we plan to be out?"

Arturo shrugged. "As long as it takes, I guess. Shouldn't be too long. Why, got plans?"
"Uhm.. what? What plans would i have?" She asked, shrugging. "Just wondering"
Elena caught up with Arturo and Atun, only slightly out of breath. "So what are we doing?"
"Going to a market, apparently." Atun said, shrugging
"Sounds fun!" Elena grinned. "Who else is coming?"

Arturo smiled at them both. "Valentina was rounding up whichever cousins were left around the house. Everybody seemed to be out and about. I'm just waiting on Valentina to head back this way, and then we'll go."
Diego sighed as he landed, settling next to some shopkeepers
group
Valentina skipped back over to the group, a wide smile on her lips. "I couldn't find anyone else, so I guess it'll just be us. Shall we go?" She twirled across the floor and grabbed Elena's wrist to pull her out Castia's door excitedly. "Come on!"
Elena grinned. "Okay, okay, I'm coming!" She laughed as the tiles on Casita's porch moved, sliding her forward even faster.
Atuñ followed, a bit nervous. because she had Vitiligo, she was a lot lighter skinned then most of the family, so she almost never went out.

Arturo let the girls cavort ahead, staying back with Atun, who seemed nervous. He walked with her, an easy smile on his face, steady and stable as stone.
"I love looking out over the valley when the sun is shining. It's so gorgeous."
Diego walked around the shops, buying a few things with his allowance as he walked past
atuñ walked around, looking at a necklace. she picked it up, but dropped it as a kid threw a ball of mud at her. the necklace was in the mud, her face was covered with mud, and she was finding it hard to control her gift. as the light seeped from her skin, a large ball of light was forming. Atuñ focused hard on making it go away, returning to her skin. she picked up the necklace, paid for it and apologized to the vendor, and ran back towards the casita.
Diego had seen, stopping her in her tracks “hey hey hey, ãtun slow down.”
"I.." Atuñ looked uncomfortable. "I'll just slow you guys down. I'll just head back, its okay. I can wait for Tià Mirabèl there."
“ it's okay.. I'm not with them so I don't mind the slow pace.”

Arturo had tried to stay with Atun, but she hadn't seemed to want the company and had taken off on her own. So he'd stayed with Valentina and Elena. He thought he'd glimpsed Diego and Atun off down a side street, but again, they didn't seem to want company, so he'd minded his own business.
