Oh, Maple! [Video/Open to Action]
[Canada gets off the train and frowns down at the pocketwatch. He picks up Kumajiro, who is trotting at his ankles, not wanting him to get lost in this strange place.]
I don't know what's going on, Kumari, but I really don't think I like it. This place is completely deserted...
[The bear looks up at him.]
Who?
I'm Canada! Your owner!
[Canada sighs, not ( Read more... )

[Hey, she knows him. So what if he doesn't remember her, there's still a smile on this face for him.]
Matthew! This isn't a prank or anything, sorry. This is Ruby City.

Who?
[For once he agrees with his bear.]
I'm sorry, have we met? And Ruby City... I've never heard of that place before. Do you know what country we're in?
[He might have a shot at finding the local personification, maybe. But, at least this woman can see him, and she's smiling, so he smiles back, a little uncertainly.]

[The Keyblade Master shakes her head.]
Sorry, we're not in any one country. We're ind kind of a...
[How had Theta described it to other people?]
A pocket dimension or something.
[That sounded right.]
Basically, we're disconnected from every world. There are some countries here though, I live with Francis and Barclay.

I was here before? Why can't I remember it? And, er, sorry that I can't remember you, but can I ask your name?
[A pocket dimension? This was starting to sound like a sci-fi movie, as if the train reminding him of Inception hadn't been bad enough already...]
Oh, well, that's... kind of disturbing. Is there any reason we're all here?
[His eyes light up at the mention of France and Scotland.]
Really? Francis and Barclay are here? I haven't seen them in quite a while. Haven't had time to visit Paris or Edinburgh lately.
Reply
[Friends. Yes, friends.]
It's okay, you don't have to say sorry. My name is Aqua. I don't really know the reason we're here anymore though, the cities guardians have changed since I first got here. Back then, we were playthings to the Interloper. Now, I don't know what Temper and the others are doing with us.
[She smiles and nods. Aqua's grown so freakin' fond of Francis and Barclay is wonderful to have around, since he got here.]
Yeah, they are. Do you want directions to my apartment, you can come say hi to them!
Reply
[He really does feel bad, but hopefully he can make friends with her again. He did it once, right?]
These guardians don't sound pleasant at all - I hope I don't meet them for a while. And directions would be nice; I'd like to say hello.
Reply
[Part of her wishes he remembered too but that won't stop her from being friends again. Or trying.]
They don't appear often and only ever on the watches.
[Sending directions.txt]
If you have trouble finding the apartment, just let me know. And just come right in, don't worry about knocking.
Reply
[He's hopeful; it's nice to have someone remembering him since it doesn't happen with many people. And Aqua seems like someone he can easily like.]
I'll definitely let you know.
Reply
[Be hopeful, Matthew. You can have a good friend in Aqua :3]
Okay, good.
Reply
[He hopes so. He's used to being alone at times, in spaces far emptier, but that's in the wilderness, and it's how it should be. This is basically a ghost town, and that's a very different thing. He cuddles Kumajiro at that thought.]
I'm on my way over!
[He thinks he's going to like this Aqua; it'll be nice to have a friend who seems to know what he is, but isn't a nation.]
Reply
[Aqua smiles and nods.]
I'll find something to make to eat, if you want.
Reply
[Canada sets down Kumajiro, letting the bear trot along at his heels.]
I'll have to find a place to live, I think. And probably something to do with my time - there's no nation business here, after all.
[Maybe he could open up a breakfast diner or something. Alfred told him once that he should, why not?]
Reply
[Nope, can't place which one he is but she knows Francis has mentioned him before. There are so many of you here! Or at least, more than Aqua can remember all the time. It's easier to remember who she's been friends with.]
Father Nightroad opened a manor for all the new arrivals, until they find a place to stay. And if you don't want to stay there, I'd be willing to give up my room. Light, Francis would probably love to have you here. We have a spare room but I have to clean it up some, it hasn't been used in awhile.
Reply
[Canada shrugs, looking thoughtful.]
Not sure who Father Nightroad is, but I've got a little time to make my mind up yet, so I'll wait and see, I think.
Reply
[But she's smiling cheerfully anyway.]
Usually he gets to the station pretty quickly to help new arrivals. He's really nice. I'll have to introduce you sometime, if I see him before you do.
Reply
[Canada grins, a little sheepishly. He forgets sometimes that keeping track's not always easy.]
Well, he sounds like someone I want to meet then. I'll look forward to it, one way or another.
(OOC: Canada's over at the apartment with Scotland and France in a log entry thread, if Aqua wants to tag in. :D )
