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.]

Priere didn't come to play tag, no not at all. She was much too old to play games like these. Sure, she'd make the exception every once in a while to play with the kids back at the orphanage... but she was too old. She didn't come to play with the kids this time.

Well that was mostly true, after all, her brother was a kid, and it was always possible that he would show up here, blind hope and all. But, as expected, he wasn't. Maybe that girl on the network was right, he was back home, which was a good thing... right? It's not like she was lonely.

She was about to turn back when she noticed something strange. Okay, so most of the people there were younger than she was, a fre of them looked her age but... "Aren't you a bit old to play tag?" she couldn't help asking the man.

The Doctor looked up when the girl came up to him, a smile tugging at the corners of his mouth. "You're never too old to play tag," he told her cheerfully, "never. Anyone who says otherwise is lying. Or dull. I think I'd prefer it if they lied." At least then they weren't being barmy old codgers, whoever 'they' were. He looked at the unfamiliar young woman, still smiling. "And anyway, wouldn't you be considered 'too old'? Yet here you are. It's not a bad thing, I'd say."

"Guess I know a lot of dull people then..." Priere answered back. Okay, she had to admit, he was starting to make a good case, but really, she wasn't quite in the mood for tag.

Though it was strange that he considered her as "too old", she was usually treated like she was 'just a kid' by too many people around here. "I was just walking around, trying to see if my little brother was still here, that's all."

"Maybe, maybe not. Maybe it's poor judgement. I dunno, you'll have to decide." The Doctor shrugged. It wasn't up to him to decide the disposition of perfect strangers he'd never met (and probably never would). But the situation with her brother, that drew his attention. "Still here? What do you mean, 'still here'?" Had he simply gone home, or had he been one of the "kidnapped" folks he'd hear a bit about?

"Oh... well, he kinda disappeared on me when we came back from Spira..." Priere answered rather evasively. She wasn't really one to talk about her problems to others... especially not complete . "But someone said he might have gone back home, so that's good." She had a smile on her face that anyone observant could see was forced.

"But come on, you didn't come here to hear about that... isn't that game going to start soon?"

Her smile was fake. Of course it was, she'd just talked about her brother disappearing to a complete stranger, and she was obviously worried. "Maybe he did," said the Doctor, trying to reassure her. "I've had someone disappear on me, too." He couldn't forget Lamington, even though they'd only known each other for a short while. "But never mind that, you obviously want to change the subject. I'm pretty sure the game's going to start soon, after we're all done socializing. I like socializing, don't you? So many people."

While it was good that he understood what she was trying to do, he didn't have to point it out. Oh well, at least he was nice enough about it, even if she was starting to think this guy was getting weirder by the minute.

"Err yes," Priere said, not quite sure how to answer his question. "I haven't really talked to a lot of people, but they're pretty different and nice around here."

"Oh right, I'm Priere, nice to meet you."

What good was knowing the obvious if one neglected to state it? Well, obviously a lot of good, but the Doctor had made his point. Maybe. He grinned. "I'm the Doctor. The eleventh Doctor, mind you. The tenth Doctor is around here somewhere, and I don't know about the rest, but I'm rambling again. Hello." Not that he hadn't already said that, but there was surely no harm in saying it again. "But anyway, it looks like the game might be starting." Which was good, he loved games.

There... was so many things wrong with that introduction she wasn't quite sure where to start. Well okay, maybe "Doctor" was a common name in his world, but still... "The 'eleventh'?" Priere asked a bit curious. "So your dad's here?" Hey, that was the best conclusion she could make out of this.

Hrph... well she didn't plan on playing tag... but hey, the Doctor's and everyone else's enthusiasm was a bit contagious, so hey, why not? "Heh... fine then. I'm an expert at tag, let's see how those kids can play~"
