Fourth Wall Catch-All

This is a catchall post for all of my characters in the 4th wall, for both days; please let me know who a tag is for in the subject!



Sheena has work to do, and spends most of her two days in the tea shop, making and serving tea and trying to handle crowd control. This all feels so familiar it makes her shiver, but she doesn't get a sinister sense from it all, wings or no wings. Of course, it's still a bad idea to take her by surprise, particularly from behind.


Nephry, once she figures out the influx of newcomers is strange and confusing at best, leaves off trying to do anything with them through the Welcome Center and spends her time in the cafe instead. The last time there was an abundance of new people like this, it was really a cultist invasion. She's not willing to be caught unawares again - whether it was her fault last time or not. When not at the cafe, she'll be at house 1.


Mia isn't due in for work but checks in on both clinics anyway, thinking that the population burst might end in some...conflicts. Other than that, she stays in house 16 out of the way when she can. It's crowded enough without one more person milling about looking uncertain.


Luke is no dummy. Once he sees a few people reunited with others from their homes, he goes everywhere he can, just...hoping. His favorite places in which to hope are the bakery, the library, and around the fountain until he gets to cold he's back in the bakery again. He looks around expectantly almost the entire time.


Raven has the smithy to use as a sanctuary, and she's never been more thankful that she can recall. It's no place for people to just gather; when they try, she's well within her rights to tell them to either shop or leave. That's how she likes it. On her lunch break and any other time she'll be in the restaurant, despite hating the crowd.


Rue almost wants to get enough people together that she could dance for them. Dance with Mytho for them, maybe. She has everything she needs here, and lacks most of the things she doesn't want, so apart from trying to keep Mytho from getting lost, she doesn't really care about all the new people milling around. She keeps an eye out for ravens, of course.

[He gives a flustered look as she brushes the dust from her shoulders. That's so like her. This is all so unusual and confusing.]

Luceti? I'm afraid that I've never heard of such a village. And here I've been starting to think of myself as well-traveled. [He smiles meekly.] We wouldn't happen to be anywhere near Imil, would we? [But where in the world would he be for this situation to make sense? Perhaps this is all some odd dream, and he'll be awakened at any moment by Tyrell's snoring.]
frost_jewel: (defining duty)

[personal profile] frost_jewel 2014-01-26 05:28 pm (UTC)(link)
[At the mention of Imil her hand freezes on his shoulder, pulling back a moment later. Mia is an expert at making her expression do what she needs it to do for a person, so she doesn't look too surprised, but it takes her several too many seconds to find a response.]

No, we...we're very far from Imil. Have you- have you been there?
moral_rief: (like mother)

[personal profile] moral_rief 2014-01-26 05:42 pm (UTC)(link)
[It still seems unusual to Rief, as familiar with his mother as he is. He looks on carefully.]

Yes, I have. [A slight pause.] In fact, I was raised there.
frost_jewel: (shine)

[personal profile] frost_jewel 2014-01-26 05:47 pm (UTC)(link)
So was I. [It should surprise her that they never met, but after meeting Amiti, she's prepared for both past and future.] What do you do there?
moral_rief: (bright young lad)

[personal profile] moral_rief 2014-01-26 05:54 pm (UTC)(link)
Mostly I've been studying. I actually haven't been back to Imil in some time now, as I've been traveling with my mentor. [So she's definitely from Imil. And it's really looking like she has to be his younger sister... unless she's some relative whom he's never learned about (but what are the odds of that happening?)]

wow maybe i was a little sorry at first!

Hello Sheena-san, Fuuko was just wondering what awful, horrible trick someone must have played on Fuuko right now...

[Everything is very familiar to her after all, and there's even a starfish up on the wall over there. What sort of mean guy would try and prank her like this, really?

... Wait a second. Forget that train of thought.]


Sheena-san! Is Fuuko back where Fuuko thinks Fuuko is?!

Yeah, that's me, who- Mia?!

[He can't help but smile wildly for a moment, even if he knows he's back in the enclosure and that one of his friends was still here. He can't help it.

His smile does fade eventually, though he keeps a relatively happy expression up as he talks.]


It's... It's good to see you again, I think.
castbytheglyph: (And people say we monkey around)

Ding-ding-ding, we've got a winner over here!

[She quickly spins Luke around by the shoulders and tries to pull him into a hug. Hope you weren't too fond of your personal space at all, Luke.

Oh. And even for a special occasion such as today she didn't bother to grab a bath or anything, so enjoy that special Pascal brand stench. Or don't.]


Oooh I've missed yooou! How've ya been?!
reminded: (my tea is on my left yeya)

guess i lied...

[personal profile] reminded 2014-01-26 08:39 pm (UTC)(link)
[No wings, no journal. How very strange. There seems to have been a population boom since last he remembered as well... Ah, but there's a familiar face. Layton smiles.]

Luke! My, but how you've grown.

[Pinwheel falling through a wall and landing flat as a pancake somewhere in the ninja's vicinity. Oops.]

Oh no! Did I break it?
hisapprentice: (in the snow)

[personal profile] hisapprentice 2014-01-27 02:13 am (UTC)(link)
Nothing's wrong.

[He just can't breathe, that's all, it'll be all right in a moment, won't it? When Luke realizes it isn't getting any easier he just steps forward to hug his father. Tight. This isn't what he expected, no, not at all, it's- he didn't think he would be so happy about it.]
hisapprentice: (oh...well...)

[personal profile] hisapprentice 2014-01-27 02:15 am (UTC)(link)
[Missed him? She's missed the bath, too, hasn't she? Luke holds his breath and tries not to make a face.]

I'm, um, things are all right, I guess. [The hug alerts him to her lack of wings, too.]
hisapprentice: (tea talk)

[personal profile] hisapprentice 2014-01-27 02:17 am (UTC)(link)
[When Luke realizes who that is standing there, he looks around quickly for something to duck behind. Ducking behind, in general, gets harder every few months. Then Clive approaches and speaks to him and it takes all Luke has not to start with You! once again.]

It's not like we got to pick colors.
hisapprentice: (look at this thing!)

[personal profile] hisapprentice 2014-01-27 02:21 am (UTC)(link)
[Wow, he's not that short anymore! Get that pompous hair out of your face, Grosky!]

I've been here for a long time, sir. Trust me, you won't get anywhere by shouting.
hisapprentice: (awestruck)

[personal profile] hisapprentice 2014-01-27 02:26 am (UTC)(link)
[That is it.

All of his hopes for whatever insanity this was, riding on the sound of one voice, and there it is. Luke lifts his head, speechless and smiling, and runs the short distance between them.]


Professor!
reminded: (s'all cool)

[personal profile] reminded 2014-01-27 02:40 am (UTC)(link)
Ha ha ha. [When in need of a warm welcome, you need look no further than Luke Triton. Layton waits for him to make his way over, imagining there's enough energy in Luke for the both of them.]

It appears I've missed quite a bit. So sorry to have disappeared on you like that, my boy. [That's what he deduces as happening, at any rate.]
untrueheart: (smug)

[personal profile] untrueheart 2014-01-27 02:54 am (UTC)(link)
[Rue would know that voice anywhere. She turns to him with her usual satisfied smile.]

Mr. Cat, it's good to see you again.
brilliantdeception: (I know nothing at all)

[personal profile] brilliantdeception 2014-01-27 03:14 am (UTC)(link)
And they apparently didn't make them very practical either.

[No way anyone could fly with such tiny wings. Well at least things are starting off civil enough, but he could almost sense a bit of tension between them.]

I'm not sure whether to be surprised to find you here or not. Is the Professor with you too?

[ If there ever was any confirmation, it's being called that title by a grown woman.

She says a quick goodbye to the person she had been helping before making her way toward the blonde.
]

... hello, Nephry. [ You've grown., her eyes say, in the manner of seeing one familiar and yet not. ]
frost_jewel: (assured)

[personal profile] frost_jewel 2014-01-27 04:51 am (UTC)(link)
I haven't been back- oh, well, hadn't been, in quite a while myself, even before I arrived here. [She looks at him again, thrilled to pieces to talk to someone from her home even if she doesn't know him, and remembers herself.]

Where are my manners? I'm Mia. [And she holds out a hand.]
frost_jewel: (thoughtful)

[personal profile] frost_jewel 2014-01-27 04:54 am (UTC)(link)
I know it's good to see you. I've missed you so much.
hisapprentice: (happy)

[personal profile] hisapprentice 2014-01-27 04:58 am (UTC)(link)
[He's not used to being eye-level with anything higher than the professor's shoulder. This is odd. He doesn't care, opting for a fast and tight embrace rather than the long and shaky one his instinct pushes.]

It's...it's all right, I know you couldn't- er, it wasn't your, fault or-

[Luke tugs the front of his hat, embarrassed at himself.]
