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.]

Aladdin blinked at the mention of the game being dangerous if there’s a safe point. Looks like this kid took the term a little bit too seriously than she should. Aladdin shook his head, “What? Oh no no, this game isn’t dangerous at all. I mean, you could trip and fall while chasing someone, but that’s about as dangerous as it gets really,” he told her with a bit of an awkward chuckle.

“The safe point is just a term to explain where you’re protected from getting tagged ‘It’,” Aladdin explained scratching the back of his neck, feeling like this was a bit out of the ordinary to clarify something like this. Though she is a kid, so maybe she just has yet to learn some things.

“And yea, I think some other games have a safe point, if Genie were here he could list a bunch of them I’m sure,” Aladdin, thinking about some of the many games his big blue pal has played in the past.

Nana found herself nodding. "Oh, okay. I see what you mean now." The chuckle she heard made her feel a bit embarrassed for some reason. She didn't know what exactly... "This is all new to me," she had to explain, a slight blush on her cheeks. Nana didn't look all that giddy or confident as she tried to help him understand why. "Where I came from, there weren't any games to play." She had to stop herself for a second, before she could feel herself looking back on what life used to be like before Paixao and to have made her very first friend. "Where I lived, it wasn't what most people would see as a normal kind of place."

"And this is my first time around other people that aren't much older than me." Nana looked around at all the human children who looked so happy with each other. Seeing them happy made her wistful. She was going to be happy along with them, very soon!

She didn't come to the park to look or think back to the facility she did not miss, not at all. There was just one person she missed, as he was running away elsewhere--but she refused to start dwelling in a longing for him at this time. She wanted to make Papa proud through learning how to live like humans in the outside world did, in order to live peacefully among them.

Nana perked up at the thought of him knowing someone who clearly knew a lot about games. She looked back to the man who's been a big help to her so far. "I'd like to meet this Genie person someday. He must be a very good friend to you."

Of course, at this point, it was about time they introduced themselves! "My name is Nana. What's yours?"

Aladdin was a bit surprised to hear this, what kind of place wouldn’t let kids run around and play? He gave the girl a look of some concern, poor thing, what kind up bringing did she have? Aladdin kept his mouth closed, but silently he wanted to ask all these questions. He couldn’t help but worry about this.

Though looking at this from another angle, this might give this girl a chance to have some fun finally. On the mention of Genie, Aladdin nodded with a kind smile, “Yea, Genie’s a really great guy, I’ll have to introduce you to him! I’m sure he can teach you all sorts of fun games to play, he’ll be happy to have you too.”

This was of course in hopes of making sure the kid can be introduce to a better life than the one she described. Once the girl introduced herself as Nana, Aladdin held out his hand to shake, “Name’s Aladdin, it’s nice to meet you Nana!”

She didn't shift her gaze when she noticed the concern, as she could not fully conceal the glassy look of sadness in her eyes within a smile.

Nana thought he was going to ask about her past, when he mentioned his friend Genie again. The sadness in her gaze left. "Yes, you'll have to!" Her happiness grew to giddiness once more.

She shook his hand. She was familiar with this gesture--with some of the doctors and didn't like it. But, since she's been living her new life in Paixao, she started hesitating less and less. "Nice to meet you too!"

“Nice to meet ya too!” Aladdin said as he shook her hand. He came up with a good idea for them. He snapped his fingers, “Hey! I know what we can do!”

Aladdin gestured as he patted Nana on the shoulder, “How about we go on a practice run? We can play tag for a little bit and see if you can get the hang of it, that way you’ll know what to do before we play as a big group. Whattya say?”

She giggled and nodded. "That does sound fun!"

With that, Nana had to think and remember for a second on what to do. "The pat means I'm 'it', right? So, I'm supposed to chase you?" She just wanted to be sure, and wanted to get this right.

“Yup, that’s right!” Aladdin nodded with a grin. He looked around to see if it was clear enough then made a sneaky chuckle. “All you have to do is catch me! Annnnd TAG!” Aladdin exclaimed with a laugh as he patted Kanaria on the shoulder quickly as he paced himself off away from her, ready to be chased, “You’re it!”

Her laugh came out so naturally. It didn't take long for her to register on what she was to do as she started to run after Aladdin.

She didn't know if the green haired girl was going to chase him too. Was that even allowed? Oh well, what did it matter?! It was only all in good fun anyhow!

Her prosthetic limbs were secure in place as she was running towards her friend.
