In which... [ CLOSED ]

[firepowered.livejournal.com]

Character(s): Rabi, Shunsui, Ashe, Isaac, and... uh, anyone else? (As if it wasn't hectic enough.)
Content: Rabi makes friends. His friends are looking for their friends. And their "friends" are trying to get the hell out of there. D:
Setting: Actua Are near the center of Paixao.
Time: Saturday Afternoon (after he reclaims his crack journal).
Warnings: None.

Not even a week later, Pie-sores was starting to bore him. As much as he liked the idea of having a place to stay (nobody knew they were dirt poor, and he wasn't about to tell them), the Actua Are wasn't all that exciting. And nobody had responded to their post about wanting a job. In other words, they were pretty much screwed.

It didn't help that Yuu had disappeared to God knows where. He hadn't seen him since the boy stole his journal, but now that he'd found it again he figured the exorcist was somewhere in the area. He wouldn't be surprised if "Sunshine" (and he now worshipped whoever coined the nickname) had taken off. At least he was kind enough to leave his journal behind.

And so it was that Rabi decided to go... exploring, for lack of a better term. He couldn't stand staying inside anyway, plus it gave him a chance to interact with people. If Yuu was around, he'd see him eventually. They were both broke. He probably hadn't gone far.

Like any explorer, Rabi felt he needed to make some kind of great discovery. Preferably one along the lines of "why the hell am I here?" He didn't have to look far for it, either; it was still early in the afternoon, and people were out and about. The bookman trainee saddled up next to a young blonde-haired, blue-eyed woman across the street from the Actua Are... who seemed completely oblivious until he finally cleared his throat and offered her a lopsided grin that in his mind said "hey baby" but in hers said "I'm stupid."

"So, how'd you get here?" he asked. It was a great ice breaker that could not only bring him one step closer to finding out where he was but might also proceed as such: "I'm lost, you're lost, let's both be lost together I'm staying at the Actua Are okay thank you."

Unfortunately, that's not how things worked here. Instead of answering his question, she merely raised an eyebrow and countered with: "...excuse me?" Rabi didn't catch on that she wasn't from another world.

"Well, I thought I was fighting some AKUMA, but outta nowhere I'm just... here, you know?" he said. "You probably don't know what AKUMA are, though, do you? See, where I come from..."

It wasn't until he got to his explanation (or was about to get to it) that he looked up and realized she wasn't even there. In fact, she was headed down the street at a brisk, "get me out of here"-pace.

The little grin on his face wilted and died. Even his hair drooped a little. So much for that.

All this talk of love, and love sickness made Isaac want to vomit. He folded his arms and snorted at the group, honestly, was this the best thing they had to do with their time? Look for someone else's lover? They must've been pretty damned bored. He turned and snorted in Ashe's general direction "If you think I'm coming on your merry little goose chase you'll have another thought coming." He wasn't about to play detective with these two morons and their idiot princess. Hell no. Isaac would find a nice alley somewhere and go and snooze there for a few days, that had a lot more appeal.

(OOC: I feel like this thread is sort of winding down. Does anyone else feel the same way? :D)

Shunsui clasped his hands together and nodded once! "Oh, so you HAVE seen Nanao-chan? How wonderful! And she is looking for me as well...How nice, how nice."

He took Nanao's slightly inaccurate description in stride; she had likely forgotten to mention his silly pink robe and hat, because she was Ise Nanao and Shunsui knew that she disapproved of such things. She was looking for him too! Shunsui had to stifle a laugh at the thought that she'd followed him into this world with her arms full of paperwork that needed to be done.

Shunsui started to walk, looking this way and that in a sedate manner, as though he would spot his dear little vice-captain at any moment. A blonde man, no doubt a regular citizen of Paixao, took one look at Shunsui and all the people near him and hurried on his way, trying to pretend that he hadn't noticed them all.

[ooc: it is rather winding down. wanna just get Nanao-mun and say we found her and open the thread with the group already somewhere else or something?]

Ashe replies Rabi's look with a smile that says: I'll explain to you later, before shooting a menacing glare over to Isaac. "You only have two choices: follow us or be left frozen like a rock," she crosses her arms in front of her proudly. Ashe realizes that she is much lacking in height compared to the lanky man, but Isaac has been very easy to intimidate so long as he does not realize his own power so she might as well use it to her advantage. Paixao may not be her Dalmasca but she really does not want a man like Isaac loitering around uncontrolled. "The choice is up to you," she waves him off to give him the impression that she does not care much about him when in fact she does.

She turns her attention to Shunsui, "What are we waiting for then? Let's go around the place and look for this Ise Nanao."
