[ this isn't weird at all. this is not even close to being weird. yup. ...yeah who he was kidding, this was weird even for burners' term. i mean showing up randomly in some unknown city?

you bet your butt he did some quick screaming the moment he arrived.

he's managed to calm down some (read: not at all) and went as far as he could from the lady after he got the basic explanation. WHICH IS CRAZY??

a) so heading around in odin, you'll find this tall (over six feet what a giant) lanky teen looking around as he walks. looking very out of place. with blonde bangs hiding over his eyes and slouched over, just man what is up with this kid. at one point he'll stop and whip on the bracelet with quick easy movement, starting to type while switching from screen to screen with ease. so... is he new here, or not?

b) out and about however, he's going to be trying to sneak around. mostly by moving around with his back pressed against walls and slowly inching around corners and probably try to stay unseen. clearly he stands out. so feel free to ask what the heck he is doing. or approach him because you were positive you heard a lady scream seconds earlier from where he is.

c) lastly, he'll sit down some place with his head tucked into one palm (he is totally not crying) while looking at his other which holds the welcoming letter. he is muttering to himself along the lines of, "Oh man, how the heck does this even make sense?" before squinting hard at the paper. did he..find something new?]

c

[intenses]

[ Julie's wandering around, trying to make sense of things when she spots him. That shaggy hair! Those ridiculously long limbs! Giant hands! Could it be Motorcity's favorite programmer??

She's happy to see him (really happy- it's a relief to see a familiar face) but he looks pretty upset, and if she just jumps on him he'll probably freak out and scream and who knows what that means here, so she quietly walks up and just taps him on the shoulder ] Hey, Chuck?

1/2

[larp]

[NOPE, STILL SCREAMING

come on julie you sneaked up on him you couldn't have expected any different--]

[larp]

[but once he realizes just who it was, well he's already pushing to a stand. eyes are wide behind his bangs as a hand pushes part of it away to look at her, taking relief that it's really her.

so he's looking a bit less upset now. a familiar face at last!!]

Julie! What're- what are you doing here? Are the others with you or..?

[is it.. just them. oh man this really sucks.]

[intenses]

[ SHE SHOULD HAVE KNOWN HE WOULD SCREAM ANYWAY, CLASSIC CHUCK...it's kind of nice to hear it, though ] Well, you're the first person I recognize. And I've got no clue what's going on either, so I guess we're both lost there.

[larp]

[did you miss his lady screams, julie] Well.. from what I understand by this paper, they brought us here to help them out. And if we're both here, then the others should be too right?

[just say yes and that will totally make things better.] From what I gathered through this bracelet we aren't the only ones either.

day 137, c!!!

[skullshift]

[ but Chuck, how can you cry when your BEST BRO IN THE HISTORY OF BEST BROS is here?

well he is now, anyway. he's just come rushing to Odin from Freya's welcome hall (and got a little lost along the way, shhh) and lo and behold, there's that familiar mop of blonde hair that he knows and loves in a platonic sort of way.

so let's say he's sitting on a bench. this gives Mike enough room to sneak up behind him, cross his arms on the top of the empty bench space beside Chuck and look over to him with the brightest smile ever. ]

Chin up, Chuckles. I think we're gonna be just fine.

[larp]

[because it's CHUCK who by the way is giving a high-pitched squeak. i mean really why do people insist on sneaking up on him. he startles easily like a deer.]

Mikey-?

[and here comes the relief because first julie and now finally mike (well at least he can trust the bracelet's programming) but oh man he is so happy to see you and

wait did you just say we're gonna be just fine cause]

FINE?! Are you kidding me? Dude, we don't even know where we are or the way back, and with all these people being stuck here we're obviously gonna end up like them and--

[yeah panic attack fit. this is way too much for him!!!!]

[skullshift]

[ you get a shoulder pat. caaaaaalm down, man. ] Easy there! Yeah, it's me.

[ and yes, he did say that. he's pretty chill now that he has his frands around!! ] Look, we'll meet up with Julie and get everything sorted out together, one step at a time. There could be a lot of stuff we don't know yet.

[larp]

[relaxing, right, okay, he can do that. totally. wait what is that again. he at least attempts to give him a smile in a way that implies 'it is so good to see you']

One step at a time.. okay, yeah. [DEEP BREATHS] I'll try and see what I can learn on the network then.

[though he sorta rubs at his arm, skittishly looking out to their surroundings and at the grey people walking by...

this is too weird]

B!

[wristbands]

[oh, she heard that scream, all right... coupled with this guy's behavior? HE'S SUSPICIOUS AS HELL. after watching him just try and sneak around, she walks up to him, hands on her hips.]

Hey! What are you doing?

[larp]

[remember that scream from earlier? you're hearing it again. right this second, MUST YOU SNEAK UP ON HIM??

yeah he's looking all amounts of nervous] W--What am I doing? I'm not doing anything! Why do you ask-?

[because he definitely wasn't being suspicious.]

[wristbands]

[...oh. that was. something.]

W-wait a minute—that was you?

[larp]

W-- [no, wait] What?

b

[ryougi]

[Shiki was originally intending to just pass by and ignore whatever the kid was trying to do, but this was too sad to look past.]

If you're trying to be sneaky, you kind of suck at it. Just letting you know.

[larp]

[SQUEAKS]

Sneaky? Who is being sneaky? Not me! Ha.. haha..

[just gonna laugh nervously... he is the least suspicious person okay.]

[ryougi]

Uh-huh. You're pretty bad at lying too, but I guess anyone would be when you make it so obvious. [She's practically shaking her head at him.]

[larp]

[HANGS HIS HEAD IN DEFEAT] Yeeaaah, I know.

B

[suppressthedark]

[...Man, even ichigo could hide better than that.

Try not to scream when a voice suddenly comes from above okay? Yes, up from the same wall you're pressed against.]

...You need to work on your hiding technique, man.

[larp]

[no doubt you could, even with your bright orange hair.

..also how can he NOT scream at that?? sudden voice speaking from above? someone talking above is never a good thing it's... okay he was just startled that's all.]

M-My hiding technique?

[looking up and

..yeah okay is that really necessary let's be honest here]

[suppressthedark]

[Darn it he said not to scream!! Oh well.

But if that startled him, then what's coming up is going to shock him even more. He takes a step back, then leaps down, rolling when he hits the ground to minimize the impact damage and gets back up on his feet.]

Yeah. I'm not like a ninja or something, but pressing up against walls only makes you more conspicuous.

[no he's not picking anything up from a certain assassin at all why would you think that]

[larp]

[Chuck might have slipped a sort of surprised yelp at the leap, but honestly when you hang around like someone like mike? you see a lot of crazy stunts.

looks like this guy is no different.]

Well I was doing pretty okay up until.. well, now. [lies. but despite the bangs covering his eyes, his body posture shows he's a bit wary. as if on the edge and expecting someone to attack him suddenly.

ichigo stap you're not an italian assassin]

a, what are you talking about of course im not late

[adventurous]

[ something that Hilda has found out while living in Asgard is that while the library is awesome and everyone is all smart and intellectual... they have a really good ice cream place. it's gotten to the point if she ever wants to check out a book or visit N or anything like that, she stops by this ice cream place afterwards because it's just that good. it might even just rival the Casteliacones she had back home, and those were AWESOME.

today is one of those days where she's stopped by the library, which also brings a stop at the ice cream shop. of course she's flown in on Reshiram, and since she'll only be a moment she's decided to simply have it wait outside of it's Poke Ball in front of the shop. everyone already knows about it being around, so it shouldn't scare anyone! right?

so Chuck might just... stumble on this 10-foot pure white, blue-eyed dragon with a perpetually wind-blown mane just standing there. feel free to flip. ]

yeah ok

[larp]

[let's go with the option of

screaming loudly, while falling back onto his rear to scramble backwards and away because

THAT CANNOT BE A REAL DRAGON]

SHHHHHH

[adventurous]

[ whaaaaat. man, she just goes in a shop to get some ice cream and suddenly the world is ending outside! when Hilda hears the scream, she quickly pays the NPC for her two cones and dashes outside... to see this guy. huh.

she looks at Reshiram who looks right back at her, and both raise an eyebrow before looking back at Chuck. ]

You okay?
