As a few of those surrounding her in the crowd turned to see her extravagant show of excitement, Eloise shrunk away from them sheepishly. "Oh, right, people..." She whispered softly, having forgotten herself. She caught the whisper 'beta-tester' and a few others, but paid them no mind. Instead, still bursting with enthusiasm, Eloise beamed a full-fledged smile and quickly took off in a new direction. She had anticipated others not quite appreciating that she had been one of the many to test this game, not that the number of a thousand beta-testers even compared to the number of copies the game sold earlier in the day. I'll have to be more careful of what I say... Wanting to get a better handle of playing again, she took a running start, childishly circling through the crowd, weaving carefully between people and yelling quick 'excuse me's as she found necessary.
Used to running around as freely as she could in a game like this, the crowd did prove a bit hard to navigate, but it was for the best if she were to work on her agility as she had her last round here. As a child would recklessly chase a butterfly, she ran about the town, looking over the sights and people as she got herself reacquainted with everything. The sky finally caught her gaze as she ran down a bit of a slope back towards the center of town, seemingly so realistic- no, far prettier than the true sky had ever appeared, but so believable at the same time - when she lost track of her footing. Eyes widening in surprise and anxiety as she skidded, she cried, "Damnit! I forgot that I don't have the agility to navigate this like I used to--" In vain, she attempted to right herself, heart pounding in her chest as she attempted leaning to avoid hitting anyone in the crowd. "Excuse me! Pardon me! I'm so sorry!"
She weaved successfully enough around the first group she came by, but that success was short-lasted. The momentum of her descent ceased with one final skid, leading her to cry a surprised, "Oof!" She had knocked right into the back of someone, toppling over them and perhaps taking them with her in the process. "Idiot! Gah, I'm an idiot!" She exclaimed as she sat up, her health taking a slight blow as she let out a soft sigh. That was a disappointing feeling, as per always. Then, as if remembering what she'd done, she laughed hesitantly and looked up at them. Taking a deep breath to even out her breathing again, she smiled sheepishly. "I'm sorry! I-I thought I had my footing, but I was being too reckless, of course my agility from my save file didn't carry over... I'll make it up to you, I promise!"
