[Day 1]

[coolerthansora]

Who: Roxas and whoever!
Where: Plaza
When: Late evening
Style: However
Status: Open!

The setting didn't seem unfamiliar at first: he was in some kind of alley and the sky was dark. He was sure he'd just been in a place like that. Maybe that was why, at first, he didn't realize the crucial change.

But he had trouble remembering what he'd been doing, moments ago. Why was he wet? His coat was sopping and heavy and--

And Sora didn't wear a black coat.

Roxas froze, forgetting to wonder about the circumstances for the moment, and stared down at his black-gloved hands. Sora wasn't with him; many of the memories were there, but Sora's presence, that person he'd felt himself slipping back into, was gone. He was Roxas again. Just Roxas.

If he didn't know any better, he'd say he felt a sudden surge of joy at that realization. Of course it wasn't real. Still, a tiny smile spread across his face as he stepped out into the plaza, baffled, slightly suspicious, but still glad.

"What the heck is this place...?"

[coolerthansora]

[He follows her gesture with his eyes.]

Oh. Right.

[Looking sheepish, he gives her a quick nod and then goes to change out of his wet things. He returns a few minutes later carrying a load of wet black things and wearing grey jeans and a black shirt. So maybe the pants are dragging on the floor a bit, but they stay up.]

[After goofing off some more while waiting for him to change, Yukari glances over and sees he's finally walked out. She gives him a once over and nods.]

Mot bad.

[Could stand to be a bit more colorful, but hey.

There are probably other things to worry about for now.]

So they fit all right?

[coolerthansora]

Yeah, I guess so.

[Too-long pants are to be expected. The worlds are full of people taller than Roxas.]

It's just to have something dry anyway.

...UGH SERIOUSLY? of all the words to typo-- kdlsjalksjds *not, obviously

[tsundyne]

Right.

[A nod, and she'll give the clerk a nod before leading him back out of the store. Slowly, y'know, in case he sees anything else that strikes him.

But he doesn't look like too much of a shopper, so she doesn't waste time.]

Well, you can look around a bit more now that you're a little more comfortable. But it's getting late, so you might wanna find a place to stay, too.

it... makes it look French-ish? :D;

[coolerthansora]

[Nope, definitely no shopper in the making here.]

Are the places free, too?

crying. why can't editing after a comment's been replied to be a Thing.

[tsundyne]

[She nods again. This time glancing around...she wonders if there are any apartments in view that she could point out.

...No such luck though, they'd have to get a bit closer.]

They are, yeah. Lots of empty rooms to be filled, too.

/pets

[coolerthansora]

[He seems to be thinking along the same lines.]

Maybe you can just- point one out to me and I'll come back to it later.

[tsundyne]

Oh--yeah, sure.

[She steps forward some and looks both ways, as if about to cross the street.]

Actually, if you keep following this path, you'll hit the middle district, and there should be some apartments there you can check out.

Someone inside should be able to help you there.

[coolerthansora]

[Roxas takes a few steps forward with her, following her gaze.]

...okay.

Um. Thanks for your help. [Because he's not entirely sure why she's being so nice to him, but he feels like he shouldn't take up any more of her time.]

[tsundyne]

No problem.

...Take care, and find me again if you need me.

[It's her job to help people, pretty much. It's all she's used to. But she also believes in space.

She'll give him his, for now.]

[coolerthansora]

I- I will.

[Well. He might not. Going out of his way to ask for help isn't something he's good at.

But he appreciates the offer anyway.]

[tsundyne]

[She'll go her own way, then, though she'll occasionally turn back as she walks away, to make sure something awful hasn't happened to him already on his first night here. She pretty much does this until he's out of her sight--but after a while, she decides not to worry about it anymore.

She could check up on him later if she really wanted, right? And for now, she's got other newbies to worry about.

So she will, 'cause it's kind of her job. And she won't hold back.]
