New Arrival [Closed]

Character(s): Olette, anyone who cares to join in.
Content: Olette comes to Paixao, and meets who-knows-what/who/nobody.
Setting: Vanaheim Gate [F3]
Time: Saturday morning
Warnings: None




Funny. Olette had expected dying to hurt a LOT more, especially when it involved falling off of the Station Tower. And yet, she found herself with only a mild stinging sensation on her cheek and hands where they were pressed into the... dirt? There hadn't been any dirt at the bottom of the tower, only concrete.... She opened one clenched green eye carefully, only to find herself staring at the bottom of what looked for be a huge tree. She blinked a few times and carefully pushed herself off of the ground and sat back, inspecting her stinging hands for cuts. Finding nothing but a bunch of dirt, she looked back up at the tree and was surprised to find that there were TWO of them, which stood guard over some kind of gate. She cocked her head slightly and stared at them, transfixed. They were pretty, yes, but something didn't seem right. She stood up, brushing the dirt off of herself, and was again struck with the question 'Am I dead?'

She paused at looked down at her hands. She flexed them, just to make sure they were still in working order. 'Well, I'm not transparent or anything....' She turned her gaze to the large line of people passing under the trees. 'None of them are transparent either. Maybe I'm NOT dead. But how did I survive that? Confused and perplexed, she looked up as if expecting to see the Station Tower still looming above her. No such luck, but she couldn't help but think that she actually felt a little BETTER that she couldn't see the huge building she had been falling off of just moments before.

'But if I'm not dead, then where am I?' Her train of thought was broken off by a shiver. It was freezing cold out there. 'It was September back home.... Must have different time zones or something.' Suddenly something clicked in her head, and she looked up at the sky again. "Hey, it's not twilight!" The moment these words escaped her mouth, she closed it tightly, embarassed slightly. She'd heard about other times of day in school, as a myth, but had never actually experienced them. "Wow...." she said, awed as she looked up at the sky. It reminded her of someone, but she couldn't quite put her finger on who. 'Sora? No, not Sora. But someone like him.' Suddenly her head gave a very violent throb and placed a hand to it, only to find that the pain had disappeared as quickly as it had come.

'Better try not to think about it too much. First order of business: Get in that line! Don't wanna freeze to death.' Feeling slightly better now that she had at least the beginnings of a game-plan, she got into the back of the line and waited patiently. She spent most of the time fidgeting and trying very very hard to keep warm, wishing she had worn a sleeveless shirt and capris. At least she wasn't wearing ankle socks. She played with her bracelet, trying to keep herself occupied and distracted from the freezing cold. For the most part she kept her eyes down and minded her own business, but when she passed by the trees she couldn't help but look up. 'Something IS really wrong with those trees.' Olette fought off the urge to walk closer to them. 'Maybe I'll go check it out later.' As she was looking back down from the trees, she realized something; it seemed most, if not all of the people around here seemed to have blonde hair and blue eyes.

'Hey, just like--' "Ow!" Her head gave another unpleasant throb. 'What was I thinking about again?' She rubbed at her head until she reached the front of the line.

"Name?"

"O-Ol-lette." Her teeth chattered slightly from the cold. "Ol-lette --" she paused, her small mouth hanging open. Why couldn't she remember her own name?!

"Welcome to Paixao." Before she could ask where exactly that was, she was pressed forwards by the people in line behind her, handed some kind of little orange square, and shoved out onto the street. She looked around warily at the buildings and was appeared to be some kind of hotel down the street. She unconciously held onto the little square tightly, as though it were some kind of security blanket, or some kind of defense against this strange world. After walking towards the building that appeared to be a hotel in a kind of daze, a chill wind reminded her that she was freezing and brought her out of her stupor.

'How can it be this cold inside a dome? Whatever, gotta find shelter!' This became the first thing on her unofficial to-do list. She sat down, her back resting against a wall, shielded by a few empty boxes; it was better than nothing, and she didn't exactly like the looks of the alleys. With a rather unhappy sigh, she looked down at the little orange square in her arms as though seeing it for the first time. Noticing the latch, she opened it carefully. So it was some kind of computer. She opened it all the way, and after a bit of fiddling with it managed to find a map. This place was, judging by the map, nothing like she'd ever seen. She shut the little square with a sigh and looked down at it. "Well, at least it's orange." she said aloud, trying to cheer herself up. 'Orange is a happy color. And hey, maybe Hayner and Pence and--.... That... other kid...' The sudden throb of pain wasn't as bad this time, but she felt more than a little guilty that she seemed to be forgetting someone. 'and.... Hey, maybe Sora and Kairi are here too! Maybe if I'm lucky, Donald and Goofy and the King are here!' A hopeful little smile stretched its way onto her face and she opened the little orange square up again. After looking around for a while (and being VERY thankful she'd spent so much time looking over Pence's shoulder when he did stuff like that) she managed to find some kind of message board and left a message there to see if anyone she knew was in Paixao.

She was about to add it when she realized it would probably be wise to get a job as well; she had a nasty hunch that she'd be here a while, and even if they DID accept Munny here, it wouldn't last forever. After typing a little ad and fussing with it until she was satisfied, she posted it and closed the little journal to await a response. She looked up and let her head rest against the wall as she observed the scenery. There were plants here and there, but they seemed just as strange as the trees. Olette stood and walked over to a small flower, trying very hard to ignore the fact that she was shivering from head to toe. She leaned down and looked at the little plant more closely, and was surprised to find that it was certainly not any kind of flower she'd ever seen. She took a little sniff and was surprised to find that the only thing she could smell was the faint orange-y scent of the lotion she always wore. Unnerved, she walked back to her spot next to the boxes and sat down again, curling into a little ball and resting her chin on her knees, wishing it wasn't so cold.

Rikku felt a drop of water on her face and flinched. She opened her eyes and slowly stood up slowly stood up, from sitting on the ground and stretched her arms while yawning. She rubbed her eyes and was now fully awake, well let's say 70% to 80% awake and she looked around, she just then noticed that she didn't know where she was and she was all wet. ' Where am I? ' she asked herself,' and why am I all wet and man it’s cold, WHAT'S GOING ON?!!.' Now if you seen the outfit she was wearing then you would understand.

She paused for a moment and tried to calm herself down. She started to pace back and forth. ' Come on, Rikku, get a hold of yourself. ' she told herself while shaking her head with her hands placed on the opposite sides of her head. Then she heard and noticed a slushy sound and looked at the ground, there were puddles and there was snow on the ground. ' So that’s why I’m wet…figured out one thing a couple of more questions to go. ' She just stood there for awhile, and noticed that there was a big gate between two large, fruitless trees. ' Maybe I should go over there, then someone might help me….' She then felt rain drops and snowflakes falling from the sky and looked up, the sky was getting cloudy and dark. ' I better get going.'

She ran to the gate slightly leaning forward with her arms rubbing her arms. To her surprise she saw a line to go through the gate. She quickly got in line and started to rub her arms and legs, trying to keep herself warm. While she was trying to keep herself warm she was looking at the people in front of her and behind her, they all looked somewhat like her, blonde hair and light skinned, but she had green eyes with a spiral as her pupils. The line was moving rather quickly, people behind her would rush her, and tell her to move up. ' Man these people are surely not in a nice mood…Well, it is raining and snowing a little, it’s also really cold. The weather is getting to everybody...' Then a voice broke her trail of thoughts.

“State your name.”

“Excuse Me?”

“Your name, state your name.”

“Rikku.” She answered while she was still trying to keep herself warm.

“Welcome to Paixao." She was then handed a blue rectangular object.

"Next!" said the voice.

“Wait, wait, I have a question……” She trailed off, but couldn’t finish do to the people behind her pushing her.

' Stupid pushy people because of them I couldn’t have my questions answered….But that’s no excuse, I guess I just have to find someone around here…..I wonder if Yuna or anybody else I know is here. I better get going. ' She walked around while looking at the surrounding and saw a little girl, wearing a orange shirt, in the corner and decided to see what was wrong.

“Hey, I’m Rikku. I’m new here, are you alright? What is you name?” She asked crouching down next to the girl, who was curled up in the corner.

"Nice to meet you too, and I would love to come with you." Rikku said smiling.

"Do you mind if I ask, where we are going?" she inquired.

[identity profile] goldentresses.livejournal.com 2006-04-11 06:07 am (UTC)(link)
"Let's go!" Rikku said excitedly.

"It's lonely and scary to go to places where you don't know, where you are at." Rikku said walking next to Olette.


(OOC: Ok. Sorry I don't say much, but I'm not suppose to know where we are going, so I can't pretend to know... ^^;;))

[identity profile] goldentresses.livejournal.com 2006-04-11 07:02 am (UTC)(link)
"Well," Rikku said as she looked up, "I try not to, but I'm sure there are times when I forget people. It's not like I do it on purpose, nobody can be perfect..."

"Hey, don't worry about it, it'll come to you, someday, maybe when you least expect it, trust me," She said as she looked at Olette and winked, "Alright?"

((OOC:Ok, TTyl!))

[identity profile] goldentresses.livejournal.com 2006-04-11 08:57 pm (UTC)(link)
"Knowing you, I know you'll find him...You seemed pretty determined and that will help you." Rikku said as they continued to walk.

[identity profile] goldentresses.livejournal.com 2006-04-11 10:18 pm (UTC)(link)
"It seems like a pretty interesting place...Though the people here look all the same, which is kind of scary...." Rikku replied and shuddering when she said the word scary.

"What do you think of Paixao?" She asked.

[identity profile] goldentresses.livejournal.com 2006-04-12 01:22 am (UTC)(link)
"Yeah, that is kind of scary too." Rikku said with shifty eyes.

"I totally agree, not enough orange, red and other colors!" Rikku eclaimed and started to giggle.

[identity profile] goldentresses.livejournal.com 2006-04-12 01:49 am (UTC)(link)
"Um...I like to make stuff, I enjoy listening to music, hanging out with friends..Um..stuff like that.." Rikku said smiling.

"What about you?" She saked.

[identity profile] goldentresses.livejournal.com 2006-04-12 03:30 am (UTC)(link)
"I know how to fight, but I don't really that much." Rikku said.

"You ok?" Rikku asked as her new companion had showed a sign of pain.


(OOC: I might not be able to post tomorrow because I probably go somewhere during the day. And would you mind if a friend joins us...? She's going to apply as Tifa.)

[identity profile] goldentresses.livejournal.com 2006-04-12 05:03 pm (UTC)(link)
"I totally agree!!" Rikku exclaimed.

"They just have to be the hero, be all macho and tough, and "cool"." She said while shaking her head.

[identity profile] goldentresses.livejournal.com 2006-04-12 11:56 pm (UTC)(link)
"You know that saying, ' Never let a man do a women's job'" Rikku said giggling.

"You're a really good friend, seriously without you, they would be everywhere." Rikku said.

[identity profile] goldentresses.livejournal.com 2006-04-13 12:23 am (UTC)(link)
"Hey no problem, I've been through worse." Rikku said asuringly.

"Yeah, when you get back they'll be a mess and maybe they'll beg for you to come back." Rikku said giggling she was having a lot of fun.

"Come on we can do it, it's good excercise not that you.." She winked.

[identity profile] goldentresses.livejournal.com 2006-04-13 12:46 am (UTC)(link)
"You do that girl!" She replied.

"Ooh~ that stuff does look cute..." Rikku said peering through the shop's window.

"We should go shopping sometime after this," She said looking at Olette, "It'll be soo much fun, and we can do with all the other friends of ours."

[identity profile] goldentresses.livejournal.com 2006-04-14 12:17 am (UTC)(link)
"Ooh~! I should get some money too, somehow..." Rikku said thinking and wondering.

"We're going to a shop?! COOL~! Which shop would that be?" She looked at Olette with and excited and questioning look.

[identity profile] goldentresses.livejournal.com 2006-04-14 02:27 am (UTC)(link)
"Oh~, I see. Well lets keep going!" Rikku answered enthusiastically.

"I thought of worse plans than that...Trust me." Rikku giggled embarrassingly.

[identity profile] goldentresses.livejournal.com 2006-04-14 03:28 am (UTC)(link)
"Really, I hope he gets better..." She trailed off with a sincere look on her face.

[identity profile] goldentresses.livejournal.com 2006-04-14 06:49 am (UTC)(link)
"Wow~, that was really nice of your friends.....I think my friends and companions would do the same for me." Rikku said she was thinking about it.

"Now, let's go help that poor sick friend of yours, and maybe I can be friends with him too." She said with confidence and energy flowing of the spoken words, as a power boost.



(OOC: Does that make sense? Tomorrow, I'm not going to be home from around 2:00-8:00 Pacific timing....Sorry, I wouldn't go if I had a choice, but I HAVE too. T0T)

[identity profile] goldentresses.livejournal.com 2006-04-14 05:39 pm (UTC)(link)
Rikku started to laughing and giggle at the joke her companion had just said.

"If we take too long sooner or later he'll become girl deprieved!" Rikku exclaimed and added on to the moment they were having.

"Here we go, Olette and Rikku to the rescue~! Rikku said throwing a fist in the air.

"Now let's go and rescue a poor boy before he become deprieved of girls.." Rikku said as she was still giggling.


((OOC: Getting tutored from 2-8 is fun...? T0T))

[identity profile] goldentresses.livejournal.com 2006-04-14 06:13 pm (UTC)(link)
"Don't worry Olette's friend, we are half way there...!" She exclaimed out loudly in to the air.

"Don't give up yet, we are coming~! YEAH!" Rikku said was she through her fist in the air, yet again.

"Man, is it just me or is it getting colder by the minute...." She said as she brought her hand down, and rubbed it against her arms and feet while they were walking.

[identity profile] goldentresses.livejournal.com 2006-04-14 06:31 pm (UTC)(link)
"Well, lets get going for our sake and you friends." Rikku said as she was walking a little bit faster, hoping to get warm, get to their destination.



((OOC: This may be my last post for now....Because we might go somewhere before my tutoring....I'll post ASAP when I get back...Sorry~! T0T ))

[identity profile] goldentresses.livejournal.com 2006-04-15 06:16 pm (UTC)(link)
((OOC: I'll be back today around 3 or 4 Pacific time...I have tutoring from 12 -3 today...T0T))

[identity profile] goldentresses.livejournal.com 2006-04-16 02:50 am (UTC)(link)
"So, how did you get here?" Rikku asked.

"I was sleeping and then I woke up here....Kind of sad isn't it." Rikku said embarrassed.

[identity profile] goldentresses.livejournal.com 2006-04-16 05:36 pm (UTC)(link)
"WOW~! Landing here was definitely a better choice...If you didn't then I wouldn't be able to see you~." Rikku said as she started to cry.

"I'm soooo happy you're here." Rikku hugged Olette and was smiling, her whole facial expression had changed.

[identity profile] goldentresses.livejournal.com 2006-04-18 04:55 am (UTC)(link)
"Death is not cool~ If someone I knew and cared about died....I would cry..." Rikku said with a childish teary eye look on her face.

[identity profile] goldentresses.livejournal.com 2006-04-23 02:41 am (UTC)(link)
"Wah? WAIT FOR ME~!" Rikku yelled as she followed Olette.

She didn't know where she was going, but she didn't want to be alone and wanted to make sure her friend was safe, especially since she can't fight.
