Meetings [Active]
Who: Chris (not_my_age) & Terra (shiftingearth)
What: Chris and Terra decide to meet
When: Sometime after Terra's post.
Where: In the cafe
Warnings: None that I can think of. Yet, anyway. XD

Chris rocked on his feet slightly as he stood near the cafe's entrance, waiting for Terra to appear. He had an idea of what she looked like thanks to the journals, but he was making sure there wasn't a chance that he could possibly miss her. It wouldn't do to be standing there, looking like an idiot. What a great first in-person impression that would make.

Wait, was that her? Chris moved away from the entrance to a more visible spot and waved his hand, hoping that she'd see him.

	It was indeed her. Terra saw someone waving their hand. She assumed it was Chris, so she walked over to that person, lightly waving and grinning a little. "Hey, what's shakin'?" she said, hoping it was Chris. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	"Not much." Chris answered, smiling in return. "Terra, right?" he asked, holding out a hand for her to shake. It was, after all, part of a good introduction. At least, that's what his father used to tell him all the time. "I'm Chris. Chris Thorndyke." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Terra grinned a little more, taking his hand with one of her own and shaking it. "As you already know, I'm Terra. Nice to meet you in person, Chris!" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	not_my_age 2008-01-12 04:16 pm UTC (link)
	"You too!" Chris laughed, shaking back, happy to know that his guess was right. "Ready to go in?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	shiftingearth 2008-01-12 08:30 pm UTC (link)
	Terra nodded. "Yeah! I'm totally ready!" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Great!" Chris said, turning to enter the cafe, "Let's go!" He glanced back over his shoulder at Terra, smiling. It felt nice to get out of his room after that last curse, to let most of the worry go and it was even better to spend it with a new friend. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Terra smiled back, walking into the cafe. "Man, this place is cool!" she exclaimed. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	not_my_age 2008-01-13 04:37 am UTC (link)
	"It is." Chris nods in agreement, taking a moment to look around before reaching over and tugging on Terra's sleeve gently and pointing in the direction of a some empty seats, "Table first or food?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	shiftingearth 2008-01-13 05:29 am UTC (link)
	"Food! I don't know about you, but I am starving!" Terra looked really hungry. "But if you want, we can get a table first." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	not_my_age 2008-01-13 06:07 am UTC (link)
	"Food is good!" At that exact moment, a rumbling is heard from the vicinity of his stomach and he grins sheepishly, rubbing the back of his head. "I think that I spent too much time in my room." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	shiftingearth 2008-01-13 10:05 pm UTC (link)
	"Ha, I can relate to that!" Terra laughed a little, though not at him. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	not_my_age 2008-01-14 12:13 am UTC (link)
	Chris grinned, letting the last of his tension melt away. Terra reminded him of his friends at home, and it made him feel at ease around her. "I get so caught up in what I'm doing, that I forget everything else. I'm turning into my Grandpa and Tails!" Which was something that Helen had told him once or twice, now that he thought about it.

	Terra laughed a little more. "Well, that's not a bad thing, right?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	not_my_age 2008-01-15 01:37 pm UTC (link)
	"Mm... I don't think so, but my friends used to tell me different." Chris stopped in front of his food choices, contemplating what he was in the mood for. "Grandpa loved it though." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	shiftingearth 2008-01-16 03:18 am UTC (link)
	Terra stopped in front of of the food choices as well, staring at the food hungrily. Sure, she didn't get as hungry as she used to when she didn't have a real home, but she could still down a lot. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	not_my_age 2008-01-16 04:27 am UTC (link)
	Chris started to pick his choices, making the mental note to come back later to stock up. At least on snacks, at any rate. That way he had something to eat when he got absorbed in a project. As he finished, he grinned at Terra, waiting for her before heading back towards the tables to claim some seats. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	shiftingearth 2008-01-16 04:38 am UTC (link)
	Terra picked her food as well and headed back to the tables with Chris, grinning back. "So~" she said, grinning a little bit more. "I guess I have some sort of idea of what you do for fun, but..." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	not_my_age 2008-01-16 04:48 am UTC (link)
	"I guess you could say that." Chris answers, brightly, setting the food down and taking a seat. "But...?" He lets his voice trail off, wondering what that 'but' might be. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	shiftingearth 2008-01-16 04:54 am UTC (link)
	"But what else do you like to do?" Terra was truly curious as she set her food down and sitting down as well. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Chris pauses, taking a moment to think about it. "Well, spending time with my friends and family, especially my Mom and Dad when they were home. I had a part time job after school at a fast food place, that one took some convincing, but it was fun." He smiles, "Flying. And building and designing things, because that made me feel useful."

He takes a bite of his food, before looking at Terra, "What about you?"

	"Mmm..." Terra thought as another grin appeared on her face. "Well, I like to hang out with my friends and stomp some bad guys..." her expression became one of sadness for a moment as she thought of what she'd have to do before she cheered up again. "I love sleeping outside! There's so much more I like to do, though." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	not_my_age 2008-01-18 03:56 am UTC (link)
	"Really? Like what?" Food momentarily forgotten, he doesn't comment on the expression. If Terra wants him to know, she'll tell him. After all, he has secrets of his own, that not even his closest friends know. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	shiftingearth 2008-01-18 10:21 am UTC (link)
	"Well..." Terra grinned. "I love it when I use my powers at night. Makes me feel closer to the stars, you know?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	not_my_age 2008-01-18 01:26 pm UTC (link)
	Chris blinks, surprised, "You have powers? What can you do?" He's excited now, and then he pauses and grins, "Yeah, flying's kind of like that. And space is beautiful." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	shiftingearth 2008-01-18 08:28 pm UTC (link)
	"Oh, I didn't tell you?" Terra laughed. "Well, I guess I didn't. I can control the earth!" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
