Hmph. Where ever I am, this is not Wutai. (Maybe...Midgar? But everyone says the city is dirty, and it doesn't seem very dirty here...)
...I haven't seen Father or Older Brother around, though, so maybe I'll stay here for a while. It's nicer than hiding up in the mountains.

What kind of food?

Date: 2009-06-26 01:27 am (UTC)From:There's all sorts of books! Fantasy, medicine, history, cooking, first aid, science fiction, alchemy... And that's only the shelves I can reach on a few of the bookshelves!
Uhhh.... Looks like a lot of fruit and vegetables, but there are eggs and drinks and noodles, and I think I saw some potatoes on the counter, with some tea. I know how to make some stuff... Mom taught me before she got sick and Daddy worked all the time.

Date: 2009-06-26 01:51 am (UTC)From:Lessee... I found a letter with an address on it... but... It has my name on it! Why would a bill be made out to me? I'm not old enough to have to pay for water! This is weird...
But the address says it's an apartment building - I'm apparently in #2B on Talhona Road in the Mayra District. The apartment balcony is maybe half a story off the ground, so we can definitely pull you up and over the balcony, since the front door is locked, and I don't know how to unlock it.

Date: 2009-06-26 01:59 am (UTC)From:Hmm. I have a map here, with some street names and stuff here, I think I can figure out how to get there. Hopefully whatever building I'm in has an address on the outside...

Date: 2009-06-26 02:01 am (UTC)From:Sure! And you can always ask for directions! Or maybe there's a bus system? My town was too small for one, but this one's WAY bigger, and Dad's always rambling about how awesome public transportation is in the city.

Re: [action~]
Date: 2009-06-26 02:58 am (UTC)From:"Hi! I'm Sheska. You're Tseng, right? I saw it on your profile in the box-thing." With the balcony only half a story from the ground, she was only a few feet over her visitor's head.

Date: 2009-06-26 03:27 am (UTC)From:"Nnnn...." hummed the creature in the doorway, looking nervous and reaching out one little hand to fasten its claws in the hem of Sheska's huge sweater. It braced itself, flattening its tail to the boards, and carefully lowering Sheska within reach of Tseng's hand.
"Gotcha!" She fit her hand into his with a surprisingly strong grip. "Ok, ready? Can you get your foot up on the boards here?" She pointed down to her bare toes where they just touched the wood.

Date: 2009-06-26 03:55 am (UTC)From:She pattered back into the more shadowy coolness of the apartment, beckoning him after her. The room just beyond the door was a truly huge room, for an apartment, and every bit of wall space, except for a desk where the glowing computer sat and a longer table and chairs that seemed put there as an afterthought, was full of bookshelves. Every shelf was crammed full of books, with little white tags labeling the genre and range of authors held upon it. Further on was a little hallway where three doors could be seen. One was obviously the bathroom, and one had the door shut, but the other didn't have a door - only an open doorway - and seemed likely to be the kitchen.

"Looks like she's a little tired. Or maybe she just doesn't want to be with us kids right now. But wander around and do what you want. I wanna finish reading this chapter on gunshot wounds -" she pointed to a book propped open on the desk next to the computer "but after that we can play a game or just talk or something."
Re: [action~]
Date: 2009-06-26 09:16 pm (UTC)From:He dragged one of the other chairs over next to the computer desk, and took a seat, laying the big book open on his lap. After a few minutes of trying to read - the was in fact one of fairy tales, although they were all unfamiliar to him - and being thwarted by his long hair, which would not stay put, he looked up again. "Um...do you have something I could pull my hair back with? I couldn't find a hair tie before I left, I don't remember it getting this long.." There was a touch of annoyance in his voice.

Re: [action~]
Date: 2009-06-27 03:11 am (UTC)From:"Hm?" She focused on him again, and seemed unoffended by his question. "Oh... I'm just worried about this guy... He's been shot and there's a lady on the way, but I don't know if he's going to make it, you know? No one really knows where he is, other than that it looks like a hotel room in an area where there are red neon lights and cars and cigarrette smoke. I've been giving him some basic tips to try and keep him still and calm - like it says in here." She gestured at the lurid photographs scattered amongst paragraphs of text. "But she's taking so long to get there!"

Date: 2009-06-27 07:37 am (UTC)From:"What happened, do you know? I...can heal, a little. I found a Cure in the bag in my room with these clothes." He rummaged around in the pockets of his oversized pants, and pulled out an orb the size of a large marble, an opaque pale green all the way through. He held it in the open palm of his hand and concentrated on it, brows furrowing a little - the orb glowed a soft green. After a few seconds he released the spell and looked at Sheska again. "I've never used it for anything big, though...mostly just healing scrapes and stuff I get up in the mountains, so Father doesn't know."

Date: 2009-06-27 10:07 pm (UTC)From:He leaned in to look at the monitor. "That doesn't sound good...do you know that lady?" Suspicion was evident on his face - he was wary of adults. "I wonder if we should so something ourselves..."

Re: [action~]
Date: 2009-06-28 06:15 am (UTC)From:He glanced out the windows and saw that the sun was starting to set - it had taken him longer than he thought to walk over. "...I guess you're right. I hope he's okay..." There was a hint of worry in his voice.
Re: [action~]
Date: 2009-06-28 08:17 pm (UTC)From:The dying sunlight glanced off a few coins on the desk top, catching her eye, and she looked back out the windows to where the sunset was changing the buildings to the fiery oranges and reds of a tropical fruit basket. "Yeah... Me too. I've sorta done all I can for him now... I'll just have to keep an eye on him and see if she gets there ok."
There was a growling noise, something like a small, angry wolverine, and she looked around, startled. There was nothing around. The noise repeated itself, slightly more insistently, and she squeaked, looking embarrassed. "I guess I'm a little hungry..."

Date: 2009-06-29 01:00 am (UTC)From:He could help but grin a little at Sheska's expression when her stomach growled, which quickly turned info an embarrassed look of his own when his stomach made an answering turtle. "...I guess we should make some food.
