[Neil is hanging out at the fountain, Hands shoved into his pockets, looking around warily.]

So uh... no one try to eat me today, okay? And we'll be good.

[ooc: Open to everyone and everything! Come and get him!]

Oh. It's you.

Have a girl that Neil probably knows

[take-yourbreath.livejournal.com]

[Rogue is wandering around more than a bit lost. She's draped in her cloak and she's got her gloves firmly tugged up past her elbows. In fact she keeps tugging on the edges every now and then as well as adjusting the hood on her cloak and the folds so that they cover her shoulders and tops of her arms. She's clearly very nervous about having exposed skin and touching all of these people. However, in the crowds and being lost, she does accidentally bump into the boy standing near the fountain with his hands in his pockets]

[ooc: You pick whether she bumped with an inch of exposed skin against his or not. I'll go with whatever.]

[illgrowoutofit.livejournal.com]

Uh, yeah. 'S me. [He clears his throat.] Hi Joseph.

[josephhatesyou.livejournal.com]

Neil.

He can thank his sister for this one?

[smellsfinetome.livejournal.com]

[There's an awkward, slightly maniac and panicked looking girl walking in circles and peering between people.]

Uhm...hey...you wouldn't [She fiddles with her hair a moment, takes a deep breath and shoves her own hands in her back pockets.] You wouldn't know where we are, would you?

[illgrowoutofit.livejournal.com]

[ooc: I'll go with it being a narrow miss; Neil's probably likely enough to pass out already, ahaha.]

Sorry-- [Yeah, she bumped into him, but hey, he's Canadian.
--And then he gets a good look at her. His eyes go wide.]

H-- eeeeey, whoa.

XD

[illgrowoutofit.livejournal.com]

Y-yeah, sure... [As he speaks, his mind is working. He knows he knows this girl from somewhere.] 'S called the City. People kinda show up here randomly, like poof, 'cept not really.

[illgrowoutofit.livejournal.com]

Yeah, that's my name. [Except a second later he softens a little-- he shouldn't be rude because Joseph is one of the only people from home who doesn't call him Young Neil, and besides, he's trying to be Cool About This Whole Thing now.]

You uh... you just get here?

[josephhatesyou.livejournal.com]

You haven't seen me here before, have you?

[greatstoryman.livejournal.com]

Why is someone going to eat you?

[illgrowoutofit.livejournal.com]

No. I just meant like, 's a big place. Might've been here a few hours and I wouldn't know.

[illgrowoutofit.livejournal.com]

Dude! Kim! [Oh, oops, but he's not going to act like an overexcited kid. He is going to be Cool.]

Dunno, last time we had a day like this, two different crazy chicks tried to eat me. A demon lady and a troll-thing.

[josephhatesyou.livejournal.com]

I've been here a while. Don't bother giving me the intro, I've heard it already.

[illgrowoutofit.livejournal.com]

Fine, I won't.

So uh... y'know Stephen's here.

[josephhatesyou.livejournal.com]

Yes. And I'll find him eventually.

[needleofmyown.livejournal.com]

Why would someone eat you?

[illgrowoutofit.livejournal.com]

[He fights a smirk.] But you're gonna talk to me first?

[illgrowoutofit.livejournal.com]

[He shrugs.] 'S happened before. I mean, I didn't get eaten before, obviously. But I mean, someone tried.

[josephhatesyou.livejournal.com]

I don't really have anywhere else to go.

[illgrowoutofit.livejournal.com]

Yeah, yeah.

[Awkward foot-shuffling.]

Uh, I work at this café place, if you want some coffee or whatever. I get a discount.

[josephhatesyou.livejournal.com]

I'll be there in five.

[illgrowoutofit.livejournal.com]

Cool, whatever.

[advancetheplot.livejournal.com]

Did someone try to eat you last time?

[josephhatesyou.livejournal.com]

[Oh look, it's Joseph! Looking just as beardy and disgruntled as the last time you say him. He's even got the same messenger bag on.]

[illgrowoutofit.livejournal.com]

[Summer! He missed you!] Uh huh. Two someones, actually.

You're back!
