First Flower ❀ Action

[lionesshearted.livejournal.com]

[Garden doesn't exist in Raine's time. It hadn't even been thought of yet. Perhaps that's why she's so fascinated over everything right now. But that means it's easy enough to get lost, too, since she's new here. Raine is currently wandering hallways and areas in the school. The quad, the library, the cafeteria... She'll eventually find her way to all of it.

So why not say hello to Mrs. Loire?]

_{[Ellone has to do a double take when she comes across Raine. Is that her? She wants to doubt it could be, but then, there is the fact of Time Compression...]}

Raine...?

Ellone! <3

[lionesshearted.livejournal.com]

[...Unfortunately, Raine doesn't know what Ellone looks grown up. Yet.]

Yes? How do you know my name?

Raiiiine ;u;

[winhillmemories.livejournal.com]

_{[She'll offer a small smile. It's been a pretty long time, after all.]}

It's me, Ellone. Except... I've grown up a little. _{[Or a lot.]}

/Cuddles not!daughter

Ellone...?

[Examining her, she definitely looks like she could be Ellone grown up. But Raine is skeptical, still getting used to being displaced in time like she is.]

/not!famireeeeee ;u;

It's a little hard to believe, but... it's really me. I haven't found Uncle Laguna yet, so I haven't gotten to talk to him, but I'm really happy to see you again.

We just need Laguna and Squall here.

[lionesshearted.livejournal.com]

Haven't found him...?

[This is very confusing to her. Is Ellone not with her or Laguna...? That's concerning.]

[paradoxdestined.livejournal.com]

[Squall was just on his way to get a belated lunch, but now suddenly he's not. He almost doesn't give a second glance when he passes Raine. Almost. It's a good thing he does. ...Or perhaps not. His mind freezes up, hilariously enough. Yes. Him. The man who can never seem to stop thinking.

For a moment he doesn't know what to do. ...But then of course that's a stupid problem to have, he'll do as he always does with new arrivals. At least. New arrivals from his past. Namely stand behind her like a creeper authoritative figure. ...God he can't quite get his face back to its normal apathy, if his stare is rather intense well. Sorry Mom.]

Raine Loire?

[lionesshearted.livejournal.com]

[Wait until she realizes she's your mom. Then she will teach you lots of things. Still, she'll turn quite quickly and... Have to hold back from lecturing him right off anyway.]

Yes? How may I help you?

[...There's definitely annoyance to her voice. Because, seriously, you don't sneak up on people.]

[paradoxdestined.livejournal.com]

[LOL his people skills are kind of... lacking. AND SHE THOUGHT LAGUNA WAS BAD... Staring. Sorry Raine he can't help himself lmao.]

[...] Welcome to Garden. Did anyone fill you in on the situation?

[lionesshearted.livejournal.com]

A bit. Something about Time Compression caused by a powerful Sorceress?

[The letter had been a tad bit confusing and hadn't really gone into detail. Still, this boy... He looks... Kind of familiar. A bit like Laguna, in some aspects.]

[blessedbylight.livejournal.com]

Excuse me? Are you looking for somewhere in particular?

[lionesshearted.livejournal.com]

Hm?

[And so, Raine will turn fully to the one speaking to her. It's only polite, after all.]

Oh, not really. I just thought I'd figure out where everything is.

[blessedbylight.livejournal.com]

I can help you with that if you would like? I've been here for at least a year so I know where most of the rooms are.

[Hibiki's walking around Garden, her Fairy Tones pretending to be additions to her hair ribbons when she notices Raine there. She waves, smiling at her.]

Hello!

[lionesshearted.livejournal.com]

[Raine will wave a bit.]

Hello. It's good to meet you.

[wildmelody.livejournal.com]

Likewise! Are you looking around Garden like I am?

[kitchenfistfirechaosstyle]

You look as lost as a shrimp egg roll in a potato bake!

[The demon chef is sitting lazily on a nearby railing.]

[lionesshearted.livejournal.com]

[...Shrimp eggroll in a potato bake? What...?]

I guess I am, a bit. But it's not too bad. This means I can figure out where everything is.

[kitchenfistfirechaosstyle]

Ah! A self-guided tour! Be careful that the large items on the buffet do not distract you from the less-obvious but no less worthy foods. A balanced meal should include all food groups, boom!

[While passing the woman Seifer can't help but glance at her. He gets in three more steps before coming to an abrupt stop.]

Hey! Lady!

[His first thought is it's Squall in drag. It's gotta be. Which is why Seifer's turned back around to stare hard at her, brows deeply knit.]

[lionesshearted.livejournal.com]

["Hey, lady?" How rude. Raine quickly turns on her heel, hands resting on her hips. Sorry, Seifer. As much as they look alike, Raine's far more of a strict person than Squall.]

You needed something?
