Roomies!

[captureherheart]

I, uhh . . . have a roommate.  Finally.

. . . I didn't think, umm, 'Colette' was a gender-ambiguous name.  D-Did they put me with a girl?  Is this normal?  It's probably a mistake, right?  I mean, I didn't have a room for like two weeks after I first moved in 'cause they apparently forgot that I'd popped in.  Maybe I just have bad luck with these

[it's taking her some time for this to all sink in, but...]

4/4

Oh, so you're my new roommate! [well this is a surprise! And... kinda embarrassing/awkward. Colette fully expected to be rooming with a girl! But if that's the way things work here, she'll just accept it. He sounds very nice anyway.]

It's very nice to meet you! I'm sure we'll become good friends!... Um, I'm sorry. What's your name?

Re: 4/4

[captureherheart]

Umm. Y-Yeah. Good friends. My name is Syaoran Li . . . I'm from a world called Earth, like a lot of others here.

[clutzy_chosen]

Okay, Syaoran!

Earth... I've never heard of that place before. Does that mean Memento Eden isn't on Earth?

[captureherheart]

Huh? I don't think so. It wasn't on any map I remember, anyway.

I, uhh . . . took a look at your journal. You were here before, too, right?

((Are Colette's wings visible, btw? Also, gotta go, sorry. >_>))

[clutzy_chosen]

I wonder if I'm from Earth, too...

[well this is news to her] I... was?

[Nope, not yet! She doesn't realize she has wings, so at a later date she'll probably... I dunno, trip over a leaf and out they'll come. XD And no problem!]

[captureherheart]

Oh. I don't know. It sounded like a lot of people recognized you . . . Anyway, what happened with me was that I was here, then left, then came back again. I think.

[clutzy_chosen]

So there's a way to leave? That's such a relief! I'm sure I'll like it here, but I don't want to worry the people back where I'm from either.

Oh, Ion said that's because Lloyd mentioned me.

[captureherheart]

[pause]

Ohhh.

[He dimly remembers being awoken rather early one morning by a ridiculously loud yell and a banging of feet as if somebody was taking ten steps at once. He also dimly remembers rolling over and putting his pillow over his head.]

No, actually, they say people just vanish as suddenly as they come. I don't actually know how it works. I don't remember anything from my first time here.

[clutzy_chosen]

Well... there was one person who said I've been here before. He also said I had wings! But I don't know how that could be possible. I checked twice! Maybe they're shy...

So no one knows how to get back to their homes? [thinks] Maybe if we kept walking through the forest, we'll find something.

[captureherheart]

Wings? Yeah, not from Earth. Maybe you could jump off a high place but-not-too-high and see what happens . . .

I don't think so. This is an island -- People've tried to swim or fly away, but it seems like an endless ocean.

[clutzy_chosen]

That's a great idea, Syaoran!

Oh... Well I still really hope someone finds a way soon. But until then, at least this town is a nice place to live in!

[captureherheart]

Is it? It's kinda boring unless there's an event going on, in which case it turns into traumatizing. Unless it was like last time.

[clutzy_chosen]

Oh? What happened last time?
