OPEN ♦ a cat about town
who: X'rhun Tia and YOU
what: An open mingle while X'rhun acclimates himself to the city. X'rhun will not be suffering from amnesia himself, but characters who are can certainly come bother him.
when: Mid-August, shortly after his arrival in the Quarantine.
where: Various places, including communal housing floor 10 and outside the perimeter fence.
warnings: None at the moment!
A | COMMUNAL HOUSING, floor 10
[ He has been informed that this is where he lives, now. He’s not unused to sharing space with others, so he’s not to bothered. His fellow Duelists occupied the same space as the resistance fighters of his homeland, and there was certainly not enough space there to go around. This place, however, is roomier and more well-furnished than even some of the inns he’s stayed in on his travels.
The red mage doesn’t have anything he cares to leave in the trunk at the end of his bed, preferring to keep his rapier and the accompanying crystal secure at his hips, so he gives the sleeping area only a cursory inspection before heading for the kitchen area.
Alright, stove, sink, cabinets. All standard, if a bit strangely designed. It’s the fridge that catches his attention, and he opens it to get a blast of cold air in the face. It’s not hard to discern its purpose after peering inside. ]
That is ingenious.
B | AROUND TOWN
[ X’rhun has learned that the sound of every approaching vehicle is not an attacking enemy in magitek armor, but now and again he still tenses at it. Decades of habit are difficult to break.
Aside from that, however, the city itself is fascinating. Instead of open-air markets, the shops are sectioned off into neat little rooms all their own. It’s strangely quiet to his ears without people shouting and bartering and trying to hock their wares, until he catches the sounds of a cheering crowd. He follows the noise to an electronics shop. The array of televisions set up in the front window are showing some sort of sporting event, but it just looks like chaos to X’rhun.
More than anything, he’s captivated by the clarity of the picture. If he didn’t know better, he’d think he was watching through a window, rather than some sort of video broadcast, like he’s seen on the network. His tail twitches as he watches, clearly absorbed until he catches the reflection of a passerby in the window. ]
Dare I ask if you know the rules of this game?
C | PERIMETER FENCE
[ Okay, so the forests are crawling with monsters, but frankly it’s the closest thing to home he’s come across here. It’s quieter, away from the central areas of the city, even if the fence is a massive technological beast in and of itself. Being on the Guard gives X’rhun a reason to step outside the city when he likes, though he doesn’t dare go too far until he has a better grasp of his surroundings.
His self-imposed boundaries still give him leave to wander through the woods a decent distance, eyes and ears alert, one hand on the hilt of his blade should he need it. ]
D | ANYTHING ELSE
[ Want a different starter or have an idea of your own? Feel free to let me know or begin your own thread. If you want to plan something, I can be reached at![[plurk.com profile]](https://plurk.com/favicon.ico)

Let’s see now, in order— yes, a miqo’te, and I have no idea.
no subject
Neat~ I know a lot of people there cuz I used to crash there. Still do from time to time. [On Yuuto's bed.] Nice order by the way.
What is a miqo'te? Or is it just someone with cat ears and a tail? You'd like RedXVIII, except that he was a talking tiger.
no subject
[ Hyur being the name for the humans in his own world, though if she doesn’t know what a miqo’te is, “hyur” might be foreign to her as well. ]
I can’t say I’ve ever met a talking tiger, though.
no subject
[She points out with a bit of a skeptical smile. Yuffie wonders if the hyur are anything like the Ancients, or maybe that's his name for normal looking people. Yuffie secretly hopes that he explains who the hyur is because her mind was quickly coming up with fantastical definitions that are probably incorrect.]
I am actually not sure if he's a tiger or a lion so if he does somehow magically turn up here… I said nothing. I don't want to wake up and find him gnawing on my feet like they're slippers. [She might be exaggerating.]
You on the Perimeter Guard too huh? You interested in a sparring partner? I need one.
no subject
[ You know, he's not even going to touch the issue of the slipper-eating-talking-lion-tiger-thing, and instead decides to hone in on her last statement. ]
I hadn't particularly been in the market for a sparring partner. What sort of fighting style do you practice?
no subject
That's kinda raciest of you. I'm the single white rose from Wutai!
[She curls backwards and then flips onto her feet.]
I'm a ninja.
no subject
[ Lightly, he's hardly offended.
He tracks her with his eyes as she flips around. ]
I somehow doubt our styles would be very compatible. You'd just run circles around me.
no subject
Or throw things at you but I like boarding my horizons.
[She waves her hand in the air.]
Okay, what is it that you do?
no subject
I’m a fencer, for one. A mage, for another.
no subject
[She pauses and looks down at her materia.]
And time spells.
no subject
[ He’s heard of certain schools of magic with the ability to alter time to small degrees, but never met someone who could do it personally. ]
What does that entail?
no subject
It'd be easier if I showed you.
[She places her palm over the Materia in her armor. The sphere glows green as a red clock appears beneath Yuffie’s feet. It slowly begins to tick faster and faster before fading. Yuffie then jumps appearing behind her cat eared friend almost instantly.]
Ta-da~
no subject
Seven hells! That warranted at least a little warning.
no subject
[At least she hadn't cast slow on him like she had on Ed to show him.]
Cool, though, isn't it?
