[ Making their way from the Garden Lobby to the Fisherman's Horizon inn are a boy and a girl, each with a course catalog tucked under their arms and matching confused faces. Their bodies are turned into each other slightly, enough to let onlookers know that they're friends. The girl's eyes keep darting about, whether in amazement or sheer surprise

HIYA!! [Yes, she just popped up from outta no where.] You two lost? You look lost! So I thought I'd help you! And you look new, and I make it my job to know EVERYONE who's new here and make friends with them! You can't go around not having friends, because then who would help you out when you're lost, right?!

[betweenpaths]

[He tries hard not to groan out loud at her, just settling for rubbing the bridge of his nose. How does he keep attracting happy people.]

Yeah, we're lost. Or new, rather.

[lighthoused]

[ Unlike Riku, Kairi is far more tolerant, and offers Pinkie a pleased smile. ]

Hiya yourself! We would appreciate some help, actually. Do you know where the inn is?

[laughafterme]

GREAT! Not that being lost is great, but that I knew you two were lost AND new! It's like double the FUN! [Bounces in place. Awwyeah! NEW FRIENDS!]

I'm Pinkie Pie, and I like parties, and cakes, and cookies, and dancing, and games, and cupcakes! What's your name?

[betweenpaths]

[He peeks one eye open at her and ends up smirking. She's hyperactive, but who is he to deny help.]

Riku.

[lighthoused]

[ Pinkie is a little more hyper than Kairi's used to, but then she's liked an amped-up Selphie. Kairi can handle it. ]

And I'm Kairi! Thanks for offering to help us, Pinkie.

NOW THAT I KNOW YOU BOTH ARE IN THIS THREAD...

[laughafterme]

Nice to meet both!! Always glad to meet new friends! [And immediately proceeds to hand them both a party blower!] HAPPY FIRST DAY AT GARDEN!

[FWOOOOOOOOOOOT!]

The inn's this way! [She turns around.] FORWAAARRRRRD...MARCH!

[Left, right, left, guys! C'MON!]

[betweenpaths]

[Party blowers... oh man, he hasn't held on of these in his hands in a long while.] Thanks, Pinkie Pie.

[He's not marching directly behind, planning to bring up the rear anyways. But he is grateful for her playing tour guide.]

[lighthoused]

[ Kairi laughs along with Pinkie, and toots her party blower enthusiastically. She isn't actually marching, either, but she's following behind Pinkie like a matching pink duckling, more than happy to let Riku take the rear. ]

Are you a student too, Pinkie?

[laughafterme]

Nope NOPE! I'm an instructor! Can't you tell?

LEFT! [FWOOOOT!] LEFT! [FWOOOOT] LEFT, RIGHT, LEFT! [FWOOOT!]

[betweenpaths]

[He nearly, nearly stops dead in his tracks. This hyperactive girl was a teacher?!]

Not exactly. What do you teach?

[lighthoused]

[ Caaaaatching Riku's wrist to tug him along! ]

You do seem a bit young to teach!

[laughafterme]

I teach Home Economics!

[Still marching, though she does turn around to march backwards so she could address them both better.]

I'm not THAT young! I'm only seventeen!

[FWOOOOOOOOOOT]

[betweenpaths]

[He's following, but no matter how much you tug Kairi, he ain't gonna march.]

Seventeen is still pretty young though, but I guess not if you're just doing things like baking and sewing.

[lighthoused]

[ Giving Riku a sideways look. ]

Just baking and sewing? You can't do either of those!

[ To their guide: ] Maybe Riku should be in your class, Pinkie!

[laughafterme]

YEAH! He should! [She's still marching backwards.] I can teach you all the things! Like sewing and cooking and making chocobo nests, and planting gardens and how to put sprinkles on juuuuuuuuust RIGHT!
