standing in the ashes at the end of the world

[booyaka_boom]

Who: Selphie and her ghostly fears and anyone!
When: Monday and onwards
Where: By the lake, or running round like a crazy
Status: Open!

Horrible. She'd woken up and everything had been horrible. With the glow, and the fairy. She'd woken up in her lonely one person apartment alone. She still hated that, that she knew there was no one close by to visit her. Still, she was slowly getting used to it. But that morning she really could have used a friendly face, and what she wouldn't give for a hug.

Selphie left her apartment to go in search of friends or, really, anybody. But there was no one around just a fairy... but then...

Then there were people at the end of the hallway. Selphie approached them, but they laughed and ran off without her. She chased them, only to notice Squall...but Zell was there too. Zell was telling Squall all about how everyone had pretty much forgotten about Selphie back home. He didn't know her. And as she rushed up to wave, to yell, both Squall and Zell just stared, like she was a woman they'd never known.

Her way into town is haunted by similar visions - friends she knows and doesn't know abandoning her, forgetting her, leaving her alone. Really alone.

It's more than Selphie can take, and she runs across the plaza, towards the lake, though she can't say why. She's just running.

Welcome to Selphie's fears, Vatheon. Here's a girl with abandonment issues being forgotten, ignored, and left behind.

[Cain is always a gentleman around ladies. Maybe just leaning a bit towards being a playboy.]

Oh? Your friends? Did they wish to harm you?

[booyaka_boom]

N-no...They just...

*She pauses then, looking at the stranger cautiously. Whoever was running away from her was obviously not there now, and she was aware that she probably looked crazy*

Heh. Nevermind.

[poisoncount]

That is fine, my Lady, do not worry. If you need help, let me know.

[booyaka_boom]

*She smiles a little sheepishly and gently shakes her head*

No, really, I'm fine. But thanks!

[poisoncount]

[He smiles back at her.]

Should I let you go on your way then? [He is a gentleman and feels he must do something for her.]

[booyaka_boom]

*Selphie smiles back, scratching lightly on the back of her neck*

Oh...I - wasn't really going anywhere.

*She takes a moment to look him over properly*

I haven't stopped you getting somewhere, have I? I mean, you're not late or anything?

[poisoncount]

No, do not worry about that, Miss. I had no important errands to do. I was just exploring the city.

[booyaka_boom]

Oh - *Selphie smiles* So you're just new here, then?

[poisoncount]

[He smiles back.]

I arrived just recently.

[booyaka_boom]

Well, welcome to Vatheon!

*She sticks out a hand, smiling brightly*

Name's Selphie!

[poisoncount]

Thank you, Miss Selphie.

[He gallantly kisses her hand.] It is very nice to meet you.

[booyaka_boom]

*She definitely didn't expect that - and she blinks, blushing instantly*

O-oh...Thanks...

[poisoncount]

You are welcome, my Lady.

[booyaka_boom]

*She giggles a little and smiles*

I'm not a Lady...just... just me.

[poisoncount]

[He smiles back at her.]

How should I call you, Miss?

sorry for late...worst week

[booyaka_boom]

*She giggles again and smiles*

Just Selphie, is fine. How about you?

it's ok. /hugs

[poisoncount]

[He smiles back.]

It seems most people here prefer to be referred to just by their names.

^^

[booyaka_boom]

*Selphie smiles at that and laughs a little*

Yeah, they do. I'm just not used to be called anything fancy!

[poisoncount]

[He smiles gallantly at her.]

It is not fancy, it is only proper.

[booyaka_boom]

*Selphie smiles and tilts her head at him*

So...what are you? Some kinda prince or something?

[poisoncount]

[He smirks a bit haughtily.]

In my own world, I am an Earl.

[booyaka_boom]

Oh, an Earl! That sounds...important!

*She glances over his outfit and smiles*

[poisoncount]

[He chuckles.]

I suppose you can say that... My family is very old and forms part of British nobility.

[booyaka_boom]

British? Who is British?

*Yeah, that's what happens with a girl from another planet. So far, she knows of Italy and Japan*

[poisoncount]

Oh? I am sorry. I am British because I come from a place called Britain, or England. Have you never heard of this country?

[He had no idea there are other inhabitated planets.]
