Day 231 : 4th Wall : Open Video/Open Action MINGLE
[Video : Open]

Hello, everyone! I wasn't expecting so many new people so soon! I'm not sure we'll have welcome baskets ready for everyone. [Partially because Euphie has been here long enough to suspect that if this is like any of the other times the wardens will "fix the glitch."] But I do hope you all have a safe and happy time today.

Everything here is free, so if you need clothes or food just go to any store or restaurant and you should be able to find what you need. Tonight when you want to sleep there are three different apartments with plenty of open rooms. You're welcome to take any open one for yourselves. Oh! And be very careful to stay out of Sector 6. It's dangerous. Please let me know if you have any questions.

Ah, and Cornelia, if you're out there it would be very nice to see you.

[Mingle : Open]
[Are you in MarinaNova? Of course you are! So this mingle is for you. It's currently happening anywhere and everywhere. So, step up, plop your character down and be sure to mention where they might be found on this day of broken walls.]

(OOC: Tag Euphie: Video or Mingle. My notifs are turned off so tagging anywhere else just puts you on the mingle to play with anyone looking at this post!)

	[ Maybe cheeks wronged him in a past life. Something about the color red... ] I'm the one who can't find the same streets I remember from last time, Euphie, so you tell me. [ He gestures toward the door. ] I'll follow you anywhere. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	friendly_fire 2013-08-09 03:06 pm UTC (link)
	That's quite the offer. [She thinks it over briefly.] Yes, let's just stop at my apartment then. Maybe it will also give you an idea for a place to sleep tonight. [And beyond if things go differently this time.] This way. [She nods in a direction, but also takes the lead.] Do you remember anything between your last visit and now?

[ Maybe he should be feeling a little guilty about how smoothly this was going.

...oh, who is anyone kidding. Neil has so much pent-up guilt that enjoying her company is something he should be able to manage without any of that crap coming into the picture. He smiles. ] I could use some inspiration in that department. [ His imagination could use a workout — among other things. ]

[ Following, he pockets his hands in the shorts and considers her question for a long moment. ] Hmmm, no, it's all sort of a blur. I remember the shopping, bumping into some familiar faces — [ One of them with his fist. Come to think of it, it's a little odd that he's not sporting any injuries from that. He didn't even notice until now. ] —but I sat down for a quick nap in the shade of a tree and then... [ Gesturing around them. ] Then I was here.

	I've been here long enough to have and hear many stories like that one, but it's still hard to really imagine the way time can just slip by like that. I'm glad you woke up again here and that we ran into each other. Sometimes things just work out, don't they? [Her smile is an easy one as they follow along the sidewalk as it winds along.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[ He smiles, paying more attention to her than where they were going, which is probably not too smart of a man with a huge blind-spot. ] They do.

[ Though speaking of ideas that are less-than-smart. ] I've had some people in the place I'm from experience the same thing I did, too, except they didn't have to worry about bumping into any copies of themselves along the way. Is that normal for this place?

	friendly_fire 2013-08-09 04:31 pm UTC (link)
	Is not having copies normal too? Sure. I mean, I may have had one myself before I remember arriving, but maybe I just forgot those things too. [But she's not convinced she followed him very well along his lines of thought especially when he's been skewing her lines of thought ever so gently since he showed up again.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	struck_first 2013-08-09 04:50 pm UTC (link)
	No, I mean, I've heard of people who came and went and their memories were wiped, or maybe they new different events and people — [ Neil scratched his chin. ] I guess what I'm asking is, is that other "me" still around? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	friendly_fire 2013-08-10 03:31 pm UTC (link)
	Oh... [She shakes her head.] No. Neil left some time ago. Lyle is still here and some of the people from his world, but I haven't seen him. [Also, this has dipped into her sad voice.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

That figures. [ And that would be Lockon's "not happy to hear he out-lasted me. Again." voice.

Though he is not about to let that sour the mood. He steps closer, to rest a hand on her shoulder. ] Sorry. Hopefully that rascal brother of mine hasn't given you any trouble. I'd hate to have to rough him up. [ Which is the opposite of what he means. Beating him up last time was cathartic, even if the misunderstanding that led to that violence was all on Neil. ]

	Not at all. I really like Lyle. He and I built a snowman along with Frederick recently. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ He smirked, but hid it with a little laugh. ] He wouldn't be much of a Dylandy if he made for poor company. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	friendly_fire 2013-08-17 04:04 pm UTC (link)
	That's true, isn't it? I've never been disappointed by a Dylandy. [The smiles she gives him is a fond one as they make their way down the path toward her apartment.] Almost there. At least to our first stop. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[ It's so impossibly difficult to not grin upon hearing that. It brings up the idea that he had basically "shared" Anew for a time, and who knows what other partners they had in common back in the ukiyo without either of them knowing it...

But still, when it comes down to it: ] I've never heard any complaints.

[ Looking ahead, and then back to her. ] I can barely wait. [ Though he can't pick up his pace because he doesn't know where they're going, he can be patient just that little while longer until they're inside and he can see how comfortable she might be living in this "prison". ]

[She guides him into the apartment building. This one has an Asian flare to the architecture, but it wouldn't exactly fit in any Asian country either of them would recognize. It is also designed to be quite spacious, so she leads him down a broad hallway before slowing at a door she opens.]

Hello? Is anyone else here? [There's no response from the six-bedroom apartment as she guides him into the living room.] I suppose my roommates are all out.

[ The overall theme in the decor still makes him give it all a wry once-over. It didn't have the antiquated look and feel of where he had just come from, but he couldn't help but appreciate it ironically. Like this was all some kind of cosmic joke at his expense.

Oh well, the joke's on the universe, because today Lockon's looking to cash in on the good karma he was due. Starting with raising his voice a bit so that if anyone who disapproved of Euphie bringing a boy home would make themselves known sooner rather than later. It'd be a shame to interrupt them. ]

This is a nice place you've got here. Big. [ He turned to her from where he had been glancing over this and that; some furniture, a wall... ] But I'll be glad if we've got it all to ourselves for a while.

Yes, it's one of the larger apartments. I was hoping we'd be able to fill all the rooms, though a few are still empty. It seems it's all empty at the moment.

[She takes a few steps toward her room to gather her beach wear when he makes his last comment.] Oh? I thought you wanted to go to the beach. Do you need a break already? [She smiles his direction, teasing. He's not Lelouch after all.]

	[ Whoops, perhaps he was just a bit too eager if he let that slip. He follows along, casually. ] This place is a lot busier than what I'm used to. It'd be nice to skip the hustle and bustle for even just a few minutes. [ He gives her a smile. ] I've got plenty of energy, besides. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	friendly_fire 2013-08-26 09:31 am UTC (link)
	It can be a little overwhelming, can't it? [Although she likes being around people. Still, this is nice too.] We can stay here. Did you want to sit? [She gestures at the couch.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	struck_first 2013-08-26 09:41 am UTC (link)
	Could be a little weird if someone came home and they found us like that on the couch. [ "Like that"? Lockon jerked his thumb toward the door she had been heading toward. ] If you'd still like to model a swimsuit, I mean. I could always hide in the closet if I had to. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	friendly_fire 2013-08-28 12:27 am UTC (link)
	Well, it's not like you'd be in my room while I was changing, is it? Besides, I don't really need my suit if we aren't going to the beach just yet. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ He leans against the wall with an elbow, hand to his head. ] You mean that wasn't the idea? [ Why yes, he went there. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Her cheeks flush.] You're teasing me. [She tries for a statement, but there is definitely a question in there.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	struck_first 2013-08-28 12:43 am UTC (link)
	I would never. [ Which is a total lie. And the grin of his doesn't do him any favors, so he might well come clean. ] No, that's a lie. But... I'm not teasing this time. [ And she can do with that information what she'd like to. Hopefully good things. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
