paixaorpg | time to have some fun [Open]

Character(s): Everyone who wants to be!
Content: An epic game of tag
Setting: The park
Time: Forward dated to Week 29

Xion waited eagerly at the park with Hope. The post on the message board got a lot of replies, even by people she didn't know. In some ways, she was a little nervous... but mostly excited. This was new, and different, and she couldn't wait to see how playing a game actually went.

[ooc: Ok, so this is mostly a free-for-all, but there are a few rules. One, first post will be a ~mingle~ thread. If you want to talk to someone, do so there! (It might be helpful to note if it's a private conversation, or an open one).

Second, for every new person that is 'it,' we'll start a new tag thread. So, say Hope tags Xion- we'll move from the previous thread and Xion would start a new one. Make sense? There's not really a posting order going, just tag (haha) when your character is being chased, or when you feel like it, or whatever.

Third, action tags are allowed! They are not required, but if it's easier then go ahead.

If you show up late, don't worry about it! It's tag. Seriously, join and leave whenever you want.]

It wasn't just that Naminé was a drifter. She was still trying to understand the concept of friendship. This whole thing was new to her. She looked up in surprise when someone addressed her. "I'm Naminé," she answered easily. "Are you here for the game, too?"

NiGHTS nodded. "Yep! I haven't had a good game in ages." Not literal ages, mind, though given NiGHTS' (lack of) concept of mortal time and the fact that she really hadn't played some games in ages, it was possible. Then again, maybe all those times chasing Octopaw didn't count, since they weren't really reciprocal...

"I haven't really played many games," Naminé admitted, wondering if most people played games like this and if it would really be okay for her to be there. NiGHTS was starting to break down her worry and that was good. "I've only watched." Through someone else's memories, but... details...

NiGHTS tilted her head. What kind of kid didn't play games? Either the kind that were too shy, or... but no. She wasn't in the mood to ask, and she was sure the other wasn't in the mood to answer. The Nightmaren smiled and shook her head. "Don't worry," she told Naminé reassuringly, "I'm sure you'll do just fine."

Naminé looked up at NiGHTS worriedly for a moment before she let herself smile. "I hope so," she admitted. "Xion wanted me to come." And that was pretty much the only reason she was here at all. But maybe it wouldn't be such a bad thing. "Do you know anyone here?"

"Nope!" came the cheerful and unconcerned reply. "Well, not except for Sora, but I haven't spoken to him in a while." NiGHTS gestured over to her friend, who seemed to be having fun. "I don't even know if he remembers me, but that's okay. I'll just get to know him again." Some of the people who disappeared seemed to lose their memories of this place entirely. "Anyway, I'm sure you'll have fun. That's why you're here, right?"

Naminé didn't quite understand the completely nonchalant way NiGHTS spoke of the unfamiliarity with everyone. She was hesitant even WITH knowing some of the people around. "I guess so," she admitted softly. "Sora..." She hesitated and then smiled, remembering the pinky promise he made with her. "He's my friend, too."

"See?" NiGHTS laughed, completely at ease. "It's not so bad. Come to think of it, Sora seems to know a lot of people, doesn't he?" But never mind that; Naminé seemed to be getting more comfortable now that they'd been speaking for a bit. Maybe NiGHTS would be able to make friends with her, too; the girl struck her as shy and lonely, and that was no way to go about one's days.

NiGHTS was doing wonders for Naminé's confidence, though the Nobody wasn't really aware of the changes yet. She just nodded in response to the question about Sora, knowing more than almost anyone just how true that was. "Sora makes friends wherever he goes. I guess that's just how he is, kind."

NiGHTS smiled. "Well, I can see that, but you're kind, too. I'm sure you won't have any trouble making friends once you get out there." Shyness hadn't stopped Claris, and even though it had to have been years in the waking world since they'd met, NiGHTS knew she'd done alright. "Trust me."

The Nightmaren glanced over to the people who'd called in the game. "Hm. Wonder if everyone's ready to get started yet..."

Naminé wasn't sure she believed NiGHTS entirely, but she nodded anyway. "I'll try." She would... once she figured out how.

Her gaze followed her companion's and she shook her head. "They might be. I guess we could ask."
