Who wouldn't have guessed that Fugue was wearing his favorite disguise today? Thankfully the summer had waned away, taking its dreadful heat and water balloons with it... Granted, the disguise was so utterly ridiculous -what with those long, thick black robes- that it made no sense to wear such garments in the summer--but again, that was his favorite disguise, no questions asked ( ... )

When Want got out of the elevator, he kind of wished he had brought a sweatshirt with him. Down here, it was chillier than it was up in Sector 4, less stuff to block any wind or keep warm air in. For a short moment, Want considered turning around and going back up to his house and getting something with sleeves but in the end, he decided to just push through the chill. Once he got working, it would go away anyway.

He didn't get too far before he came to a stop again, though, distracted by some stooped, older guy who was staring of the island with a very intent, purposeful look. Want came to a slow stop, looking at the guy's back. The man, whoever he was, looked like he was seriously considering jumping, which is what caused Want to pause and frown. Not your problem. Not your place to interfere, he told himself firmly, but his feet wouldn't start going again, and another thought bubbled up: Yeah, but if this was home, and he was standing on the edge of a building, would you care if it wasn't your place?Before the decision really ( ... )

Gold eyes flicked up and away from the edge... This boy didn't look all too familiar to him, so perhaps they'd never met before. There was something nagging at him on the inside; something different from his usual wariness was warning him to be careful around the boy, but he wasn't sure why. Nevertheless, it was strong enough a feeling that the man decided he'd be extra careful for whatever reason. It wouldn't do any good if people got the wrong ideas or impressions, after all.

"Ah, I'm sorry--I am quite alright." His voice was rough but forced, though he hoped the other wouldn't realize that he was using his terrible 'old man' impersonation. Yes, it was time to pull the act, time to act as 'the elder'; otherwise, there wasn't much use to this guise, was there? His hand shook as he slowly lifted it -the shaking was somewhat deliberate, but hopefully the boy didn't know that- to point at the sparrow sitting on the root jutting out a little ways from the island ( ... )

Want's eyebrows went up, and he took a quick step back, suddenly feeling really stupid for assuming that the guy was suicidal. Admittedly, he was shaking so bad fiercely, almost exaggeratedly, that Want still worried that a strong wind might blow him over, so he kept within arm's reach, ready to reach out and grab onto that cloak and tug him to safety if anything happened ( ... )
