CHARACTERS: Jenny & Open!
LOCATION: Streets of Colligo
TIME: Late morning/early afternoon
NOTES:

There'd been a lot of running on Messaline before she'd been shot. But all she'd ever seen were the tunnels of which she'd been cloned to protect. She never even got to see the terraform properly fused with the planet that would let them out of the tunnels. Which means that walking down the street in the sun had left a big smile on Jenny's face already. Despite looking around twenty, she was acting very much like a child that had never seen the world before. If only because she hadn't. Which meant her head was turning to explore every new sound and color and sight. It also means that it's a slow process towards the shops to find food. Stopping every so often to look at a tree or animal or smell the flowers tended to take up a small amount of time.

She had been lucky enough on her way to the dorms last night to stop in a random shop and a local was nice enough to suggest she stop at the bank. They'd given her a hundred dollars, though she wasn't exactly sure what that was for just yet. Having never dealt with money before. But it was settled in the pocket of her black pants along with the communication device she'd received at the library. She'd let her hair down so that it fell softly around her shoulders, though not having any other cloths meant she was still in the military dress she'd come out of the machine wearing; military green shirt with a bullet hole over the heart, belt, black pants, and booths. It was a huge clash, having a girl decked out for military work bending over a flower like a child to smell it. But that's what she was currently doing.

	Riku was running down the street with a package for his courier job, when he noticed something very unusual. A woman in full uniform smelling a flower. Smiling, he approached her. "Let me guess. First time off the island?" (Reply to this) (Thread)

She was enjoying her day, even if people had said they were stuck in this town. It didn't bother her all that much considering she hasn't really seen the world. And her current philosophy was any experience was a good one. Especially the meeting of new people.

Jenny turned from the flower with a grin. "First time above ground." She takes a big breath of the fresh air. "Last place I was, above ground wasn't exactly habitable while I was there and I've never been anywhere else."

	Riku nodded. That would count. "I spent my entire life on a small island chain. No matter where you went, the only thing you could smell was salt water, the only thing you could hear was the waves, and the only thing you could see was the stark blue ocean, reaching for eternity. When I finally got off the island, I was totally blown away by the new experiences." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	bitunlikely 2009-05-27 10:52 am UTC (link)
	"Islands sounds nice though." She's never been, which means it will all sound nice to her. Unexplored territory after all. Her head tilts slightly, "Do you like new experiences?" A small pause and she blinks before holding out her hand like she'd seen a couple people do when they met. "I'm Jenny." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	shadowkeyblade 2009-05-27 11:03 am UTC (link)
	Riku shifted his package to free his hand and shook hers. "Riku. And the islands were nice, but at the time, when they were the only things I had ever seen, they were a cage and I was a bird who desperately wanted to fly. And I live for new experiences." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	bitunlikely 2009-05-27 11:22 am UTC (link)
	"Nice to meet you Riku." Her head tilts thoughtfully. "Which means now you can do more and see more since you aren't on the island anymore." Which is really cool, in her opinion. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	shadowkeyblade 2009-05-27 12:39 pm UTC (link)
	"Yeah, but now I'm stuck again. One town. No castles, jungles, forests, dungeons, or mountains." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	bitunlikely 2009-05-27 12:41 pm UTC (link)
	"But there are people." She countered with a grin. "People can be just as interesting as places." Says the girl with two hearts. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	shadowkeyblade 2009-05-27 01:29 pm UTC (link)
	"That's true, and there's certainly some interesting people here." Riku nodded. "But still, I don't like being told where I can and cannot go." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	bitunlikely 2009-05-27 01:39 pm UTC (link)
	There's a small shrug from Jenny. "Was a soldier so being told certain things like that doesn't make me unhappy. Curious about why, but not unhappy with it." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	shadowkeyblade 2009-05-27 02:30 pm UTC (link)
	"I'm a soldier too," Riku said somewhat defensively. "Being told where to go by somebody I chose to listen to is a lot different than somebody taking away my freedom. But I don't mean to be a downer. This place has a lot of interesting people now, and I'm sure we'll find a way out of here before too long." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

There's a blink at the defensiveness. Had she caused that? "Soldiers rarely get to chose a commander. Usually they're just assigned." She doesn't exactly see the big difference between being assigned a commander and being given rules to follow by some unseen person acting like a commander.

Jenny gave a small nod. "If my Dad shows up, I'm sure he'll be able to help find an answer quicker." All the faith in the world in her father's abilities, and it shows in her voice and eyes.

	"I'm just saying, there's a difference between chosing to serve in army, and being randomly locked in a town." Riku shrugged. "So who's your father?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	bitunlikely 2009-05-27 02:46 pm UTC (link)
	"Oh. I guess." She hadn't actively chosen to serve in the army. Rather being a child of the machine had done that for her. Had given her that purpose with the knowledge it had planted into her brain. She brightens immensely at the question though. "The Doctor! He travels through space and time helping civilizations and saving worlds." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	shadowkeyblade 2009-05-27 03:05 pm UTC (link)
	"Sounds like my friend Sora. Well, except the time part." Riku thought for a moment. "Actually he did the time thing once, but mostly he just traveled from world to world, helping people and made friends. That's what all of us do now. Only we follow Mickey's orders instead of bumbling around like he did." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	bitunlikely 2009-05-27 03:10 pm UTC (link)
	Jenny grins proudly. "I'm gonna travel with Dad once I find him." No she's not exactly ignoring the fact that they're stuck here. Just positive the Doctor can figure away to get them unstuck. "So I'll get to do that too!" There's a pause as she thinks a moment. "Though Dad doesn't follow anyone's orders. He does it on his own or with a friend traveling with him." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	shadowkeyblade 2009-05-27 03:13 pm UTC (link)
	"I... tried doing it on my own once." Riku shifted, and looked away. "It didn't go well. But then I found King Mickey. So I guess King Mickey is more like your dad and I'm more like one of your dad's friends. I trust King Mickey's decisions far beyond my own. Between me, Sora, and King Mickey, we can solve any problem." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	bitunlikely 2009-06-01 11:25 am UTC (link)
	Jenny tilts her head slightly, thoughtfully. "Sometimes it's better to have friends with you while you do these things." Otherwise it might get lonely, and lonely is not as much fun. "Dad can solve any problem, I'm sure. He was great with Messaline's problem. Figured it all out and helped the planet." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	shadowkeyblade 2009-06-01 12:00 pm UTC (link)
	"Yes, I learned that lesson the hard way." Riku studied her carefully. She seemed to have a rather notable daddy-dearest complex. "Well, hopefully he'll find us, or Mickey and Sora will find us. But until they do, we'd better start taking care of ourselves. Both in living here and finding a way out." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	bitunlikely 2009-06-01 02:50 pm UTC (link)
	She's been alive for approximately three days total. It's bound to be there a little considering she looked up to him for two of those days. Before she died and all. "I've got the living covered...kind of, I think. I'm rooming with Martha." There's a grin because Martha, she knows. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"I didn't mean where we're going to live. They seemed to have thought of that for us. Although I didn't trust them at first. I spent the first couple days squating in an empty building, until I read enough text messages to trust the living arrangements." Riku laughed. "But I meant, keeping standards of living up. Food, creature comforts, entertainment. That kind of stuff. It won't do anybody any good if we figure out how to break out but starve to death in the meantime. Hence the job." Riku grimaced and pointed to his parcel.

There's a small smile from Jenny, "Least you trust them to be safe now?" Because it's better than thinking they're bad forever and not using them. Her head tilts, eying the parcel when he motions to it. "So this job earns you food and entertainment?" Low the poor girl from a world where everyone was a soldier and they all shared what they had. No concept of money currently.

	"No, it earns me munni," Riku pulled out some bills (odd looking munni when it came down to it) and showed them to Jenny. "which I then use to buy food and entertainment, although I like running, so the job isn't that bad. I'm also trying to set up some competitive sports with the other obductees but so far nobody's biting." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Jenny leans forward to look at the bills. She has one of those! Though she hadn't know what it was for. "So the pieces of paper are munni," Because he pronounced it that way, now she will to. =D? Not knowing any better at the moment. "And they are used to buy food and entertainment." Her words sound more like she's repeating it to settle it into her head more than anything else. Her head comes up at the running part. "Running is a job that earns munni here?" She does love her running.

	"Not running by itself, but I'm a courier." he held up the parcel in his hands again. "I get paid to run packages and letters from one side of town to the other. Business proposals and other stuff I don't understand." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	bitunlikely 2009-06-03 03:27 pm UTC (link)
	Her eyes go back to the parcel with interest and a bright smile. "Do they need more of these couriers to run things around the city?" This sounds like it would be the perfect job for her. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	shadowkeyblade 2009-06-03 03:37 pm UTC (link)
	Riku shrugged. "Maybe. Why don't you come with me. Once I've dropped off this package I can show you the office and see if they're hiring." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	bitunlikely 2009-06-04 09:29 am UTC (link)
	There's a grin and a nod as she moves to stand next to him, waiting for him to lead the way. "Sounds great!" (Reply to this) (Parent)
