One could get utterly bored out of one's mind, even if that mind was sharp and complex and easily entertained by little things. (Such as making people explode in anger.) ...Actually, it probably worked the other way. Intelligence needed occupation, and wasn't content to idle around bumming on the beaches of the mind, especially when said beach was notably short of pretty little things in skimpy outfits.

That was to say, Nii Jieni was early, and had no excuse for it.

Ooh, sandwiches.

He zoomed in on one of the tables, sparing a light grin for AB's glare, and swiped a few. The filling looked like tuna.

There was an exotic smell of this... this rather shocking-- almost tangy but somehow sobering smell of beans... a smell that he could discern from exceptionally far off. It pulled him here, along with his intrigue, especially that of the things that were made of smooth silver that moved about. They had no life in them, how'd they move?

He followed after the grumbling one, eyeing it with shameless curiousity. "Are you related to Hermes?"

The fake grass was somewhat tacky, even to his sense of fashion. And he wore green all the time.

"I don't know any bleeding Hermes," AB scowled. It was a get-out-of-my-way-I'm-busy scowl. It was elbowed aside by the much more sociable HB, though. "Hermes? We don't have a Hermes as a registered user, do we? But either way we were created by Central, so we're related to Central, and if Hermes was created by Central, we'd be related to it too!"

"You talk too much," AB grumbled.

"And you whine too much," HB said happily.

His eyes flitted back and forth between the two bickering silver things. One brow lowered as he glanced to the nicer of the two, listening to the explanation.

"So does that make you brothers? Cousins? I guess Hermes must be an orphan..." mumbles to himself, the latter part at least, looking thoughtfully to uSUC's empty screen. Others had arrived, taking the food, and he suddenly felt his stomach make it's emptiness known.

"...How do you move?" he reached out toward HB, trying to touch it.

arcadia_central September 6 2007, 04:09:56 UTC

"I have wheels!" HB said proudly, as though this were the greatest achievement of the century. "Unfortunately, I can't show them to you, because otherwise I'd fall onto my back and not be able to get up again without AB's help, and AB's rather grouchy because there's oh-so-much preparation to do--"

It was a charitable assessment. AB was always angry. Period.

"Have a sandwich!" HB shoved a plate, piled high with what looked suspiciously like cucumber sandwiches, at Link.

And one somewhat dishevelled President, sans jacket, one shirt-sleeve rolled up, came stumbling into the square, looking around frantically. Searching for someone.

He did pause long enough to grab a cup of coffee, however, and scalded his tongue on it. Ow.

erebos_xehan September 4 2007, 02:28:48 UTC

Xehan stared into his little cup of beverage, completely entranced by its contents.

He sipped it, thoughtfully rolling the liquid over his tongue.

Remarkable.

Somehow, the food production staff had managed to synthesise a beverage that was almost, but not quite, entirely unlike tea.

It wasn't an unpleasant flavour - quite the opposite. It went very well with the curiously-shaped biscuit things, and with the oranges.

His eyes flickered to the dark screen as he sipped. He remembered

a skyscraper, stories and stories high, crowned with similar such screens, attuned to the thoughts, the latent memories of those who scaled it, a beacon to the wanderer lost in the rainy city streets, in that city of ashes and ghosts

and his head spun a bit. That had been Nobody. Now he was whole.

...This !tea was really very refreshing.

diamond_edged September 4 2007, 05:12:18 UTC

Silver hair.
Couldn't see the eyes.
But silver hair was good enough.

What the hell was this little mad tea party, anyway?!

But if there was an Event, Kadaj was sure to show up, which meant that the best place to look for him was, well. Here.

"Pardon," he said to the silver haired stranger. "Perchance have you seen anyone with chin-length silver hair, green eyes, wears black a lot?"

Not the most intelligent of queries, for sure, but he could blame that on the headache.

erebos_xehan September 9 2007, 14:06:55 UTC

Xehan swallowed his mouthful of !tea and cleared his throat, then looked (down, slightly) at the blond, white-clad man before him. He thought, briefly, of Luxord. Something about the keen-eyed expression and undeniable put-togetherness, regardless of how silly the situation.

And the bemusement. Though, in this case, it looked to be blunted by impending migraine.

"I've not, yet, though - excuse me a moment - I assure you, I am neither showing off nor trying to attack, I'm simply - "

Closing his eyes, Xehan called on a bit of magic, and willed himself to float perhaps three feet off the ground. He opened his eyes, looked around the square, cau8ght sight of his old tutor, acked, and hurriedly landed.

There wasn't any sign of the blond man's friend either.

"I don't see him yet. Perhaps he's not yet here? I'm certain he heard the announcement - I will keep an eye out for him?" A smile. "Incidentally - I apologize for not having introduced myself. I am--"

...What name ought he to use? Not the alias or anagram. Not when he was right ( ... )

diamond_edged September 9 2007, 14:16:40 UTC

Rufus staredIt was just as well that Xehan had voiced the warning; Rufus had just come from a rather harrowing encounter with Hojo, and was quite definitely skitterish and edgy at the moment. He took an involuntary step back as the silver haired man did the impossible, and, for the second time in less than a minute, wondered privately if he was some kind of cousin to Sephiroth ( ... )

Elena had been ordered to go with Rude in search of Reno, and after a slightly restless night's sleep, she had been ready to do that. After fixing herself that morning to the point where she could leave her makeshift apartment without feeling completely embarrassed (oh, had she ever valued a shower as much as she had that morning?), the Turk had been on her way to go find Rude when she happened across this...what? Board meeting? At least, the set up seemed vaguely reminiscent of one.

As she started to approach, she caught sight of Rufus' clothes (no one could miss such vibrant whiteness), and she hung back. If she investigated this, he'd probably claim she was spying on him or breaking orders or nagging being overbearing or something of the like. She was given a mission, after all, and to break it when he was already in a pissy mood things were in a dire and crucial situation was just asking for trouble.

But there were sandwiches. And she was still hungry, dammit. And she couldn't really work well on an empty, un-caffeinated stomach ( ... )

Tea. That was what had Raidou going at the moment; honest, bitter, strong tea. After fooling around with Kaworu, he'd asked for a cup, and now he'd gotten himself another one, wondering what on earth had gotten all of the people together in one place. And why there was random green everywhere. Had he missed a memorandum?

Baffled and feeling far too tired to deal with new people, though that qualification neither showed on his face nor in his voice, he decided to talk to someone he'd at least met before. Hopefully she wouldn't mind the bags under his eyes or the laborious way he sat himself down, not bothering with any of the questionable food that had been offered.

"...hey," he offered after a moment, "how are you holding up?" Might as well be a good Husband guardian and see how the dame was doing. Didn't seem to be too many of them, which was kinda weird. Maybe uSUC didn't want the competition?

lil_rookie September 9 2007, 13:14:49 UTC

Elena nearly jumped as she heard the voice addressing her, whirling around in a flicker of blonde and black. Raidou. Of course it would be him, but that meant other people might look at her which would lead to Rufus looking at her, and after their last discussion, she wasn't sure she wanted that sort of attention ( ... )

14thsummoner September 9 2007, 23:08:10 UTC

The boy blinked as Elena walked around him, rather baffled and confused by the sudden change in Elena's demeanor. Was something wrong? Seemed like she didn't want to be seen... which meant that she was in the wrong place entirely, due to just how open the square was. Ah well, dames were allowed their quirks ( ... )
