Long Lost Lottie [Open, Active]
Character(s): Lottie, open
Content: Miss LaBouff returns to Paixao and she doesn't know what to make of it.
Setting: Muspelheim Gate
Time: Week 29, sunset
Warnings: None
In front of the impressively glittering, larger than life golden gate of Muspelheim, Lottie stood, tapping her fingers together nervously. Despite the other-worldliness of this experience, it wasn't her first time going through this and thus she was handling it remarkably well. Sure, she was rooted in place and absolutely confused, but she wasn't crying. That was progress.
As she made her hesitant way inside the city, she bypassed the line and the usual greeting entirely. She simply couldn't handle that right now. As it was, she could barely sort out what she was feeling, much less how she'd returned here and why she didn't remember what had happened when she was gone.
She knew she'd been gone. Though she had no memories in between now and the last time she'd been in Paixao, she just had a feeling. That aside, she was torn between feeling annoyed and a little frightened that she'd been brought back and...a little relieved that she was. She had made some friends here that she knew she couldn't have seen again back in her own world and it was a shame to think she had just up and left without even saying good bye. But this world was dangerous and bizarre and...and...and she wasn't rich here!
That set her lip to wobbling a little bit. Lottie bit the betraying pink bottom lip and found a bench to sit down on, completely overwhelmed.

no subject
(Even if he might have wished that there was, but that was neither here nor there and anyway, why would anyone he knew have shown up when they hadn't done so yet?)
"Is everything alright?"
no subject
"Oh, I'm truly not, you just don't know what it's like!" she wailed dramatically, eyes filling up with tears again. She pulled out a pink handkerchief from her bodice, wringing it in the throes of her despair. "I was gone, I swear I was, but now I'm back an' it can be so dangerous here! With all them spooky Organization fellas and some people are just plumb crazy around here too! I think it's the lack of natural sunlight, I surely do. You just can't breathe with all them domes hangin' up over us!"
no subject
"There's sunlight in some of the other worlds, I guess?" he answered with a shrug.
Whether or not that was really natural sunlight was up for debate, but it was better than the domes, and even he had to admit that they got more than a little bit annoying at the best of times. It just wasn't the same somehow. Wasn't right somehow and that was really the problem with the place, in the end.
"I can't do anything about the Organization, though."
no subject
"I do apologize, sugar. I plumb forgot my manners." She folded over the handkerchief, making quick work of dabbing at her eyes and making herself more presentable. "My name is Charlotte LaBouff, but y'all can call me Lottie." She smiled demurely at him, as if her earlier theatrics never happened.
"What's your name?"
no subject
Somehow, he had a feeling Lottie wouldn't want to hear his suspicions. It would probably only set her off again, and he could deal with her slightly better if she wasn't wailing.
"Squall," he answered. "Squall Leonhart."
no subject
no subject
How to explain that he payed almost no attention to the kind of gossip that she was most likely looking for.
"What do you remember hearing about last, last time you were here?"
no subject
Lottie peered up at Squall, nose crinkling a bit. "Any a' this ringin' any bells?"
no subject
"Halloween Town is one of the other worlds past this one. Right now there's three we know of. Destiny Islands, Halloween Town and Spira. They're supposed to be... rooms in a castle, if you can believe that." There was a pause, so that he could take a deep breath. Most of the time he didn't say quite so much all in one go. "As for the mayor... the general opinion of Paixao's mayor is that his either inefficient or has poor taste."
no subject
She turned in place, hands going to her hips. "Alright then! Guess I should find my way back to where I was stayin' before. Sure hope no one's moved in since I've been gone! I'd have to stay in...some kind of public housin'." The very idea made her shudder.
no subject
"It's probably still open."
He hadn't really seen most of the natives move in to places that had been abandoned, so all that left were the various other people who showed up in the place and that wasn't enough to take up all the places there were to stay.
