In which... [ CLOSED ]

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.

[EDIT] This thread is now closed because we need to move on! Please to go Linali's thread.

Scowling a little under her breath, she uses the towel offered to her by the hotel staff to dry herself a bit before returning it with a forced smile. She had taken the train from Morem O Lisboa to the center of the city as she had no idea where she should start looking for Isaac from so she might as well start from the center and see where she goes from there. She was planning on taking a stroll around the place while looking around for the red-haired man, but the sky decided to let loose the moment she stepped out of the station and so she was forced to run to the nearest place she can shelter on.

Tidying up her clothing a bit, she walks into the lobby and plops down on one of the sofas; feeling rather disappointed that she might not be able to find Isaac today. Suddenly, however, from the corner of her eyes she spots a red head among the blonde-haired residents of Paixao. Quickly standing up to her feet, she strides over to the man facing away from her.

She hesitates for a moment, wondering what approach would be best for the mentally-unstable man she thought Rabi is. Then deciding that intimidating him would work best, she taps his shoulder and crosses her arms in front of her, "Isaac! Whoever told you to run away!"
