Unexpected Turns and Tumbles [Open]

        Cessily found that walking through the park usually eased her mind. This afternoon, it offered no such eases. Cessily's troubled mind refused to shut up. Taking the shortcut through the park was far from relaxing. Cessily felt very small and very disgruntled. She'd didn't enjoy being yelled at, though it was completely justified. Her clumsiness was an utter curse. But today, it had been worse, and Cessily's neat appearance was paying the price. The buttons of her navy peacoat were askew, one shoelace haphazardly tied, and her shoulder ached from the satchel of papers that hung there. Also, everything seemed blurry.

    Cessily stopped in her tracks abruptly, blanching. Everything was blurry. Cessily's slender fingers flew to her face searching for the large glasses that were supposed to inhabit her face. Cessily's light blue eyes were useless without them. She blinked these eyes, feeling a twinge of panic. With a small sigh, Cessily's stiff shoulders sagged wearily, and she turned, frantically searching for the familiar shape of her eyeglasses in the surrounding grass. She already felt hopeless. Cessily's entire world was blurry, and here she was, looking like an idiot, brushing the grass with the tips of her fingers. Her search was unsuccessful, and she couldn't see a thing.

Twitchy was splashing the fountain of the park, where he lived, by choice (kinda) and spent most of his days. He emerged from the water and shook himself off, it always suprised him how deep the waters of the fountain were. He looked around and saw a young woman fumbling in the grass. He walked over and spoke to her, "Hello! Are you having troubles?"
