April Catchall!

[cursedchosen]

Characters: Zelos Wilder and YOU
Date: All throughout April!
Location: All over the city!
Situation: Arrival/Mugging/Etc
Warnings/Rating: PG-13 For mugging stuff also Zelos flirts a lot.


April 3rd

The former Chosen had quite literally found himself 'washed up.' Despite having clear memories of falling asleep in Meltokio, he'd woken up in the middle of a canal in a strange city. Everywhere he looked, the buildings seemed to be in shades of blue and green, with the occasional purple. While some of the buildings might not look out of place in Meltokio, to see this many at once was unlikely. He was also feeling pretty drained and lethargic, which certainly wasn't helping matters, and the new bracelet on his wrist is strangely foreboding.

The first thing that springs to mind is foul play, but it doesn't take long for him to discount that thought almost entirely. If somebody had gone through that much effort, why would they just drop him in a canal?

His first order of business is making it onto land, and he might appear disoriented (and wet!) for a bit, but it won't take long before he sets out trying to find out more information. Eventually, he'll end up at the welcome center.


April 4th-5th

After he has a better idea of what's going on, he'll spend the first two-or-so days trying to get acquainted with the city.

By this point, he's obtained (through slightly questionable means) a new set of clothes that help him blend in better with the surrounding area. As he's still pretty wary about this entire ordeal, he's going to do his best to blend into the background (as much as a foreigner can, anyway) for these two days and gather information.

He'll be mainly sticking around the Fire, Metal, and Earth Sectors, and might pop out to ask a question, but will otherwise be pretty unobtrusive.


April 6th

Anybody who knows Zelos might notice that he looks a little more on edge on the sixth. His behavior starts more subtle, but gradually becomes more obvious as the day goes on. Eventually, he'll be walking a little bit faster and constantly ducking in and out of alleyways, almost like he's trying to lose someone (or someones, as the case may be). Anybody watching closely might see a young boy and girl not far behind him.

April 7th

Zelos notices the bracelet missing pretty quickly, but despite his best attempts to track down the brats he suspects are responsible for taking it, it's not long before he's doubled over in pain in an alleyway in the Central Sector. Anybody wanna help a guy out?


April 15thish-Onwards

A - The Midnight Hotel

A little more adjusted to the city and with a better idea of the situation, Zelos' abrasive nature has returned. He's managed to find a room at the Midnight Hotel, and needless to say, he's not the best of roommates.

Maybe he left his shit in your area, or maybe he keeps flirting with your girlfriend and/or sister. Whatever the case, he can be found in Room 20 for any and all necessary confrontations.

B - Pick a bar, any bar.

On about any given night he can be found in a bar not too far from the hotel, drink in hand. His behavior there really isn't any better than at the hotel, be it flirting with anything with a skirt and a pulse or taking part in a game of dice or cards with the other patrons. Whatever bar-related activity you can think of, it will be relevant here.

C - Choose your own adventure!

Apr 3?

[ruinsprofessor]

Raine had been having the fortnight from Niflheim, and it showed, but it was time to start returning to a more normal schedule at the Guild. Even so, she was heading back to the Hotel in the afternoon, rather than the evening as had been her wont, when she spotted a familiar (if bedraggled) figure making his way out of one of the canals.

For a moment, she stopped and stared. A small, traitorous corner of her mind wondered why couldn't you have been Regal. Regal would have been a concerted help keeping Foreigners from murdering each other. Zelos... Zelos was likely to get himself punched at some point.

But it was Zelos, and whatever else he was, he was among those she'd saved the worlds with. Raine made her way over to where he was, offered a hand down to help if he needed it. "Hello, Zelos," she said. Surprise wasn't evident in her voice. He might notice she looked tired, perhaps even a little older than he'd last seen her, and while she wore the same orange jacket as ever the cut of the clothes beneath was different. She'd been here a while.

4-5 April!

[strokeofgenis]

Perhaps unlike Raine, Genis' life had become more and more settled as time goes on. And like Zelos will be, Genis has settled back into being his pretty normal bratty self by this point. He had a routine going finally, and he was almost operating on autopilot. Which is why, to no surprise, Genis will be at one of the markets in the Fire Sector today, looking at the wares and seeing what sorts of different foods were commonplace in this sector, and of course perhaps to buy in case he actually found somewhere where the price was just right.

It's only as he pays for a couple of things that looked vaguely like chilli peppers where, out of the corner of his eye, he sees a familiar long-haired redhead. Sure, he may be dressed up, but the voice and the look are unmistakable. He gets his change back from the kedan before rushing over to Zelos.

And the greeting?

"Man, they'll let anyone show up here on this turtle." At least he's smiling when he says it; Genis is attempting to be funny, albeit in his slightly snarky fashion.

Tazendra has a pulse, but her skirt is metaphorical. On the other hand, she can be readily found playing dice or cards and drinking at the local bar. One of them anyway.

[larrikinism]

Most of the time Larrikin stayed at the Hotel, as if he was worried it would all vanish if he left for two seconds. Besides, there were so many people around! It was awesome! People everywhere!

Larrikin was not known for being solitary.

And the people here could be strange even by sorcerer standards. Seriously, like that hair. It was bright red! Amazing colour. And stood all on end! How did he manage that without magic?

"Hello there, handsome man," said Larrikin, sidling up to Zelos by the stairs and giving him a bright smile and quite an obvious up-down appreciative glance. "So you're the one causing the cold water shortage--woof!"

Hey, Larrikin had seen the man flirt with every woman in the place. Surely that meant he'd be totally alright with getting flirted at back.

C, the Water Sector

[redlightgreenlight]

Valdis stood on a bridge overlooking one of the canals, thinking about the memorial and the curses that the kedan had presented just a few days ago. There had to be a reason that Celaunn had spent so much time in the Water Sector, but she had no leads so she simply stared at her reflection in the water. Of all the foreigners on the Turtle, she had been the most beautiful, at least, until China Sorrows came along, but China was a cheater.

[saraisondetre]

This was the room of the man one of her new kedan acquaintances said wouldn't stop flirting with every woman, right... Room 20. Well! The nerve of him! Having promised to talk to this man for her new, ah...friends? Is that what one would call them? Seles was very determined to give him a piece of her mind.

It was just taking her some time to work up the nerve to knock on his door. When she finally did it was more timid than she would have preferred as well. "Ex... Excuse me!"

She completely has this man where she wants him! If he even opens the door.
