WHO: Annie Sawyer and OPEN
WHAT: Wandering the city
WHEN: Late afternoon.
WHERE: Catch her anywhere you wish
RATING: TBD.
STATUS: Incomplete.

Annie had lied when she'd said she was going to find her room. She hadn't known it at the time of course, but when she'd gone to find the building she'd realised it was pretty pointless finding a room. It wasn't as if she slept after all, so what was the point? Instead she'd walked around the city focusing on not letting everything get on top of her, because if she did well things would get significantly more complicated. Anyway she wasn't that girl anymore. She wasn't the wreck that Owen had turned her into. She was strong and confident. She'd fought vampires and turned down her death for God's sake! Okay so she was far, far away from Bristol, from her home and friends. The things anchoring her down and making her feel safe. But she could do this. She had to. She'd tried asking carious people she met, despite the fact she believed when both Gwen and Abby had told her, but she couldn't help it. She didn't want to be here, this place might have been seriously strange but that didn't mean it would be accepting of the fact she was a ghos. What was she going to do once people realised there was something odd about her? Would she be an outcast like George was always claiming? She wasn't sure she could cope with that again, so she supposed that was just something else she'd have to hope didn't happen.

She was walking around the city, her arms around herself, hands hidden in the sleeves in her long grey cardigan. It was strange being outside for such a long period of time, but what else could she do? There wasn't anything she needed after all, so there was little point in going anywhere, so she just walking, because when she stopped she'd start panicking.

Kairi was wandering herself, something she always seemed to be doing anymore, especially in this new place. She didn't really have much adjusting to do, since she was used to be sucked into all kinds of different worlds, but there were no Heartless here, no Nobodies, nothing. It was very strange, and Kairi was still trying to figure it all out. In the meantime, though, the place didn't seem all bad, and so she tried to explore a new area every time she went out.

She caught sight of a girl walking along in the same way she was, and since Kairi was always eager to meet new people, she thought about approaching her and introducing herself, striking up a conversation. However, the other girl didn't seem to be in such a good mood. In fact, she looked upset, almost frightened. That caused Kairi to want to approach her even more, but for a different reason.

"Excuse me?" she called out from across the street. She glanced around once, then crossed over to place herself almost next to the stranger. "Excuse me, um...are you okay?"

Annie smiled faintly at the question. Looking across at the younger woman, as she made her way over to her. Okay so the people were nice, concerned. That was a good sign. A very good time. "Yeah, yeah fine," she lied. "Or you know comparatively fine. I'm...new, not adjusted yet or whatever. Not that I want to adjust and I'm talking a bit too much, aren't I? Sorry. I'm Annie. Have you been here long?"

	"Oh god sorry!" she exclaimed, "sometimes I forget I'm a bit...cold," she admitted frowning and pulling her hand away quickly. "It's awful that I feel in love with such a-a pig," she agreed, having to make a conscious effort not to swear. "But honestly? I'm happy, especially now I'm solid and visible and everything. It's not that bad, once you get used to it." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"No, no, it's okay. I just didn't expect it, that's all." Kairi didn't want to make Annie feel bad, especially after hearing that story. And it wasn't as if it had hurt or anything, either. Offering a small, slightly wan smile, Kairi nodded a bit. "Well, as long as that's how you feel, then I'm glad, too." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I freaked out," she admitted, "mostly because I was pretty sure I was going to disappear again. I need something to...connect to the world you see? Mitch and George and the house, they were what kept me here, rather than...well gone. I didn't want to be invisible again. This has happened to you before then? That does seem a little weird, yeah."

	"I know, it sounds really crazy. But I think you're right. This place is a lot better. It doesn't have a beach, though, but that's not really a big deal." It had actually taken Kairi a while to adjust to not having a beach to visit, but in the grand scheme of things, it wasn't that important. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
