1--then the unnamed feeling takes me away

[Zak has been standing at the Garden entrance for a little bit. It was one thing to be told that yes, his transfer request had gone through. It was another thing entirely to be standing at the doors of Balamb, acceptance letter in hand

[Nepeta usually hangs in the lobby whenever she is outside of her room or the training center, but today she finds herself at the entrance. She still isn't use to the sun so she has a pretty strange looking makeshift hat made out of twigs and leaves on her head to block it out.]

[She noticed Zak standing at the entrance, and at first she didn't make too much of it. It was only when he remained there that she wondered if maybe he was new or lost. She debated for a moment, before tentatively going up to him]

Hello, um, are you new? Do you need help with anything?

[one_part_saint]

[If he hadn't seen Tavros, he probably would have been a bit more disturbed by Nepeta's appearance. But he had, and so he actually offers a tentative sort of smile. Be nice to the outsiders, right.]

I am new, but I'm sort of all taking it in. Still, I'm glad to be here, you know?

You been here long? [The hat is...really weird, but Zak decides it's probably best not to comment.]

[bestmoirail]

About two weeks, I think.

[He took note of what he said, he was happy to be here. It made her wonder--]

Are you a native to this world then?

[one_part_saint]

Yeah, I am. I just transferred here from Galbadia Garden.

[And boy is Zak happy to shake the dust of that place off his feet.]

So you're stuck here thanks to Time Compression, too, I guess? I met someone else who kind of looks like you do. That's what he said, anyway.

[bestmoirail]

Galbadia Garden? Is that another place like this?

[Nepeta hasn't exactly been attentive to the network and everything she has been told for the time she has been here.]

Yea, that's what they told me too, at least. Though when it comes to time I...usually just accept things and leave it to the people who understand it.

[one_part_saint]

Yeah, it is. [Zak nods at that.]

That's true. Time Compression is weird. They considered me a nerd and even I don't comprehend it entirely.

So...uh. [He looks away now, awkwaaaaard.] I don't mean to be rude but...what are you?

[bestmoirail]

[Nepeta doesn't mind the question. If anything she has come to expect it.]

I'm a troll. Eheh, and nothing like the one in human story books. I'm furrom a planet called Alternia.

[one_part_saint]

Okay. That explains the other guy too, then. [Pause. Oh yeah. Manners. Right. He should use those!]

Thanks. Uh. What's your name? I'm Zak.

[bestmoirail]

Nepeta. It's nice to meet you Zak.

If I may ask, who was the other purrson that you met?

[one_part_saint]

I never got his name, but he had big horns, and his hair was in a mohawk. [Using hand gestures to illustrate all this.]

Someone you know?

[bestmoirail]

Eheh that sounds like Tavros! He's one of my furriends. [a pause] Well, sorta. He's not really the same Tavros us I know, it's a little bit awkward to be honest.

[one_part_saint]

Time Compression again, huh? That's annoying. Well...if you want to go home soon, I hope you get to? [Clearly he is trying to think of something nice to say, and that's what he came up with.]

Sorry. I'm...not too good with people.
