WHO: Jade and YOU
WHERE: Around the City
WHEN: 8/24; from noon until sundown
WARNINGS: uh
SUMMARY: Jade's out exploring the City
FORMAT: Prose to start but I'm cool with whatever

Such a large city was something new to Jade and it demanded exploration. Sure she'd seen a city before but that was in her dreams of Prospit. And sure Grandpa and herself had visited a few cities but she never really got the chance to experience them. Not like this.

So she was up early, truth be told she hadn't slept much at all. She'd spent most of the night tossing and turning. She'd had herself a quick breakfast and was out the door, off to explore.

Jade had figured her witch garb would make her stand out too much and luckily for her the room of her previous self had been kept in case of her return. So she didn't have to worry about finding a different outfit to wear. Although her ears were another story. In the end she ended up hiding them under a large sunhat. This way she could blend in better and she was less likely to get a sunburn.

And so she drifted out into the city.

For the most part she stuck to the ground, choosing to walk when she could fly. Sure it was more of a hassle but this way she was getting the full experience. She could fly around at night when there would be fewer people. She supposed maybe people were somewhat used to people flying around but she'd rather not risk it. Not with recent events.

Jade wasn't the only newcomer taking a curious look around - Tim had been out with Jay, but it had been dark, and he hadn't really seen much. They'd only gone a couple blocks, and he'd had a lot of information on his mind - about being here, about everything "here" entailed, about HABIT (whoever he was), and especially about Jay. Not exactly the best state of mind to get a grasp on his surroundings. On top of that, the surprise that had been waiting for him when he'd gotten back to his apartment had been particularly unsettling - so much so that Tim had completely blocked any memory of it, and most of the ensuing days afterwards, until now.

It was definitely time to get out, take a walk, clear his head, and figure out what to do. Trying to see where and what was hiring would be a good idea, too. It was probably ridiculous to think he could handle a job, but he had to try.

Unfortunately, his thoughts just kept drifting back to that night, and he pulled out a cigarette, going to light it, trying to dispel the thoughts. As he did, he had his eyes down, and he'd nearly collided with a girl just as he was turning the corner. Tim moved out of the way just in time, but he'd nearly tripped her, and he looked up quickly, jamming the lighter back into his pocket, checking to make sure the girl was okay. Jeez, he really needed to get it together.

"Sorry," he said, quickly. "Wasn't looking where I was-- are you okay?"

A city like this had plenty of people in it - so perhaps it was an odd coincidence that she was meeting another girl who was so new... Prim had only been there a few days herself, before the desire to explore this odd place had driven her to her feet.

She'd never seen buildings so tall before... Her head was craned ridiculously, as a result - a poor decision, since it was apparently going to make her walk right into the other girl...
