♟ First Move

[so_bored]

[There’s a man sprawled across a couch in the lobby. He yawns lazily, flipping the pages in the journal every now and then.

Don’t recognize him? You shouldn’t. He’s new. But he sure is making himself at home.

He grins childishly and waggles his finger in the air, dictating to the journal. His voice starts out sing-songy.]

Welcome to Paradisa, Izaya~ Make yourself comfortable~

I’ve been here for a few hours. Where’s the welcoming committee?

[He frowns as he flips to the first page, then back through quickly to the last.] Eh? Where’s the rest?

[He squints down at the journal with a pout on his face.] Ahhh… no fair, castle. Anyone willing to part with volume one of their journals?

[ooc: FORWARD-DATED to the 1st, so there are no crazy castle shenanigans. Open over the journals or in person! Please fill out his permissions post. Not necessary, but really helpful to me.]

Comments

sounds good!

[so_bored]

...Borrow.

[He considers being rude to her, but he wants a journal and she's been the first to offer, even if it is only borrowing.]

Yes!

[Wait. How do manners work? Oh yeah.]

Please!

[waterbends]

[Probably a good decision. :T As it stands, though, the smile is clear in her voice.]

Where are you? I'll bring it to you.

[so_bored]

[Oh! A journal, and he doesn't have to get up for it? Score!]

The lobby.

[waterbends]

I'll be right over. I'm a girl with brown hair, and I'm in a green outfit. I'll see you in a moment.


[And the journal thumps shut.]

[so_bored]

Oooo-kay!

[He salutes the journal and waits for her, still lazily sprawled across the couch. When she shows up, he'll just be waving his hand in the air.]

sorry! was out of town :o

[waterbends]

[She flings her hand up to wave at him in return.]

Hey there.

ahh so late feel free to ignore

[so_bored]

Journal girl!

[He looks her over curiously.]

What's your real name?

never B)

[waterbends]

[She rolls her eyes, but it's clearly only mock exasperation.]

Katara. What did you say yours was?

:D

[so_bored]

Izaya~

[He waves at her again before sitting up and yawning.]

Katara... [He isn't recalling her journal entries at the moment, but you can bet he'll be looking her up.]

now i'm the late one!

[waterbends]

I hope you're getting settled in alright?

[She takes a seat nearby, offering him the journal.]
