eiko o1: exploring around the Garden

[moogle-ribbon.livejournal.com]

[Is Eiko annoyed at this whole time compression thing? Oh yes, Eiko is annoyed. She wants to go back to Lindblum, darn it, and be with her new Mother and Father!

Just... not necessarily at top speed. Shiny Garden is shiny. So Eiko is doing what Eiko does: "sightseeing." In that there's currently a small, blue-haired six year old bouncing around 1F and poking her nose into everything. You know - to see what's up.

Feel free to bug her/question why she's there/pick her up by the wing ornament on her back!]

[Was trying to read a book - one of those kid novels like Ramona Quimbly - when he notices Eiko. Damian raises an eyebrow:] What're you doing?

[moogle-ribbon.livejournal.com]

I'm looking around. []

[bratbeyond.livejournal.com]

Oh. You're new here. [takes a second look] Let me guess... off-worlder?

[moogle-ribbon.livejournal.com]

Yup! I'm from Gaia! There's a lot of people from other worlds, right?

[There's a lot of things about the little girl that makes Katara stop mid-stride through the lobby. First, the little girl has... a horn sticking out of her head. Second, she has blue hair-- not too strange seeing as there were a couple of other people with oddly colored hair, but not matter how long she's been in this world it'll still be somewhat jarring to her. Third, the girl is far too young to be in a school like this!

Needless to say Katara's motherly instincts immediately kick in, and Katara approaches the child.]

Are you lost?

No. I'm just looking around.

[watertides.livejournal.com]

Oh...

[Wait-- she can't be another new arrival, can she? The little girl doesn't at all look like any of the natives. She tilts her head in contemplation, looking down at the smaller child.]

Are you a new student?

Yup! They even gave me a ring, with a topaz on it!

[fierybluebird]

Huh. I didn't know they'd accept anyone so young.

[Then again why not. They accepted older than usual people too.]

[moogle-ribbon.livejournal.com]

I think they just liked me. And why wouldn't they?

[fierybluebird]

Because you have to be fifteen before you can graduate, eh. Plus some of the classes are hard.

Although if you're willing to go with it, sounds like a great plan to me.

[Since the incident with the monsters and the miraculous crash landing, Squall's taken to walking the 1F more often and helping with the Garden Faculty and cleaning up. Eiko's blue hair and the small horn at her forehead are a touch hard to miss and he recognizes her from her folder.

They've had junior cadets before but none as young as her ... that he can remember.

Squall heads on over in her direction to check on her.]

[And there she goes, skipping all tralalala like past him.]

Junior Cadet Carol.

Hey there!

[Snow... really does not mean to make you feel very, very short, Eiko. He can't help it. But at least he's got that scruffy sort of friendly smile that couldn't be threatening in the least, right?]

New student?

Be careful, what if you step on me?!

-I mean, yes, I am!

[haha-steelguard.livejournal.com]

I haven't stepped on anyone -- [He pauses, makes a show of checking his shoes, then nods] -- No, I haven't stepped on anyone yet.

[Grinning, he ducks down to offer her a hand] Snow. I'm the martial arts instructor.

[Ryu can't help but smile at the sight. He has an idea of how she must feel on seeing the Garden for the first time.]

I'm guessing you aren't lost.

[moogle-ribbon.livejournal.com]

Nope! Just looking around!

Hey, where do you think I should go next?

[dragon-savior.livejournal.com]

The Quad is a nice place, if you haven't been there yet.

[Currently filing his nails, whistling a soft tune. He hears the usual sound of footsteps, chalking it up to students just milling about. Sees a head of vivid blue hair and blinks.]

Wow. More and more colors pop up here!

[Oh hey, it's... a little kid. Tobias blinks a bit curiously.]

What are you looking for?

[moogle-ribbon.livejournal.com]

Nothing in particular! Just looking around! [] Maybe you can show me!

[heartcorrupt.livejournal.com]

Sure.

[Smile! He bends down to be at Eiko's level.]

Are you new here?
