who: Claire Farron & Open~
what: Her arrival + her settling in as a perimeter guard.
when: December 9th.
where: Communal housing + hanging out around it.
warnings: TBD? I can't think of any off the top of my head.

The new world faded like a dream. Claire stood beside her bed - her assigned bed - eyes unfocused. Had she imagined it? No, she knew better than that. That world had been real and so was this one.

Tipping her head back, she let out a long breath, her lips set in a grim line. As much as she wanted to avoid the reason she had been brought here - instead of left alone - she knew that wasn't possible. Flicking open her bag, she pulled out the knife Serah had given her. It was the only weapon she had, but since she was meant to be a perimeter guard, she knew that wouldn't always be the case.

With the blade tucked into her belt, she left her room and paced down one of the halls, alert for any sounds of distress. She couldn't really help herself. After fighting for so long, after being a guardian, a warrior, a savior, she couldn't turn her back on anyone in need.

Too bad no one seemed to be running to her aid. But that was on a par for her life so far.

"What would you think of all of this?" she smirked as she thought of her sister and her friends. Running a hand through her hair, she shook her head ruefully.

"Hey, anyone alive in here?"

Since she was a so-called "perimeter guard", it followed that she needed to know said perimeter. Armed at last with a proper gun, Claire slipped away from the communal housing and took advantage of her duties. The knife Serah had given her was still in her belt, ready for any close combat if, for some reason, her gun was knocked away.

Maybe she could put together a gun-blade somehow. That was her preferred weapon for being a guard, at least.

Boy was this bringing back memories. Her stride lengthened and she rested the gun against her shoulder.

"I'm going to have to climb a lot of stairs to visit you." not that it would stop her, "I hope you don't mind?"

Heaven knew she needed friends. Serah would encourage her to open up and be herself. Though she would go by Lightning here, she would be Claire underneath the guise.

Marinette smiled lightly, shaking her head. And hey, no judging on having two names. She goes by Ladybug with the Perimeter Guard, but she's Marinette underneath~! "Oh~! I don't mind at all! But you don't have to worry about the stairs, the building also has an elevator -- er... do you know what.." Wait, that might come out rude. "Did you have those where you're from?"

She liked this girl; Marinette was a lot like Serah and Vanille, actually. She could definitely be a bright spot in the dark.

"Yes." her lips twitched, "My world is modern and it's probably not much different from yours."

That might be a bit of a stretch, but it felt like a fair guess. Regardless, Claire needed some kind of familiarity. Familiarity made this whole experience easier to bear. She really should be a pro at handling sharp, drastic changes by now, but she would probably never be completely immune to them.

Marinette was definitely bright and enthusiastic. "Oh good! Then I don't have to explain them to you... I'm.. not even sure I'd be able to explain them properly anyway." She paused, "Oh, not that I wouldn't try though! I mean, if y ou do have questions. . . .do you have questions?"

"It sounds like a lesson that is better experienced." she gave a shrug, "Not that I need to ride an elevator anytime soon."

Marinette's almost apology made her smile.

"I think I need to look around first." Claire motioned with her head down the hallway, "You're welcome to join me."

"Oh! Sure thing, I'd like that." She didn't have anything to do at the time, so making friends with someone while they looked around sounded like a fantastic way to spend her time. "Where to?"
