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.

[Luke thinks that, in a story, the whole place would darken over with stormclouds when Clive finishes that question. He crosses his arms, looking away.]

Not anymore.

[It actually didn't take it by surprise. With the impending move to America, Clark was prepared to resign himself to the role of 'the bad guy' for separating Luke from Hershel. He had thought that it would be some time before Luke would initiate a hug.

But he doesn't object. He quietly holds his son.]


I'm glad to hear that, son.

[There's still the mystery of Luke's height increase. And another reveals itself as Clark looks down during the hug.]

Why are you wearing such peculiar wings?

[Letting go of Clark, Luke fidgets.]

It's...I suppose it isn't hard to explain, but it's a long story and it probably doesn't make a lot of sense.

[He gives a wry smile.]

Even moreso than the stories I usually hear of Hershel and your adventures?

Mia? [He says with a sudden shortness of breath. As rude as he knows it is, he's too flabbergasted to take it, now that he has a name to match to the face.]

It really is you.
frost_jewel: (thoughtful)

[personal profile] frost_jewel 2014-01-27 05:14 am (UTC)(link)
Oh. [With that 'oh you've heard of me' inflection.] I suppose, being from Imil, I shouldn't be surprised. How do you know me, or about me?
moral_rief: (sad)

[personal profile] moral_rief 2014-01-27 05:18 am (UTC)(link)
[He can't look her in the eyes. It feels so uncomfortable for his own mother not to recognize him. And at the same time, he feels wary of the consequences of what he would say.]

I apologize. [He hesitates a moment before looking up.] But I don't intend to lie to you. The truth of the matter is... I'm Rief. Mia is...

That's the name of my mother.
frost_jewel: (this is...)

[personal profile] frost_jewel 2014-01-27 05:22 am (UTC)(link)
[Automatically she wants to tell him not to apologize, but she waits until he finishes. Mia is the name of my mother. Every response catches in her chest; when she realizes she's holding her breath, she lets it go, composing herself again for Rief's sake, if not her own.]

Are you saying...what I think you're saying?
brilliantdeception: (It was over my head)

[personal profile] brilliantdeception 2014-01-27 05:22 am (UTC)(link)
...I see.

[He watched Luke's movements carefully. His answer had some weight behind it. He puts his right hand behind his head and looked off to one side, awkwardly.]

I'm sorry if I dredge something up. [You're just never without the Professor around nearby] You've been here for a while then I presume?

[He does adjust his pompadour. Is it a trick of his eyes, or does the boy look quite taller...?]

A long time? Now that's a story if I ever heard one! Was only days ago, I saw you at the Monte D'eor. Figures you lot pop up wherever there's an unusual case! Where's the Professor at? If the culprits aren't revealing themselves, I might as well chew on his brain for a bit!

[As much as Grosky loved getting cases done himself, especially when it involved pile-driving crooks into the asphalt, he had increasingly come to accept the value in hearing the professor's insights.]
reminded: (unamused)

[personal profile] reminded 2014-01-27 05:29 am (UTC)(link)
[He still feels a little responsible for leaving Luke so suddenly... even if Luke is absolutely right. He accepts the hug a bit awkwardly, but gratefully nonetheless.]

Even so, it must have been rather jarring. And now that I've returned, I can't quite decipher why I've lost my wings... and my journal. Do you know anything about this, Luke?
moral_rief: (unimpressed)

[personal profile] moral_rief 2014-01-27 05:31 am (UTC)(link)
[He adjusts his glasses slightly.]

You look like her and you sound like her. Just... younger. You have her name. If it's true that you're one of the Warriors of Vale... than yes, I'm afraid so.

I apologize if this is... upsetting for you to hear.

[personal profile] frost_jewel 2014-01-27 05:36 am (UTC)(link)
Upsetting isn't the word I would use. It is surprising. [He can't be more than...fifteen? Sixteen if she stretches. All at once he reminds her of Ivan but that road she isn't about to walk down right now if she can help it. Mia sits back down in the chair by the cupboard, suddenly mistrustful of her knees.]

You said you have a mentor that you travel with. Who is it?
moral_rief: (glad)

[personal profile] moral_rief 2014-01-27 05:40 am (UTC)(link)
[She's not uspset with him. He gives a light smile.]

You know him quite well already. He is none other than Kraden.

I'm not so sure "change" would be the right word in this case. It seems I'm one of the many new residents who've appeared in the village today without wings.
frost_jewel: (ohhhh dear)

[personal profile] frost_jewel 2014-01-27 05:42 am (UTC)(link)
Kraden? Rief, how old are you?

[Even if, and this would be a staggering if in her mind but one never does know, she had a child shortly after they completed their quest for alchemy, that would give Kraden another decade and a half of age. He'd be in no shape to do much traveling then, would he?]
moral_rief: (smile)

[personal profile] moral_rief 2014-01-27 05:45 am (UTC)(link)
I'm thirteen. [But it's not hard to guess why she seems confused.] I suppose that you don't know... Do you remember being exposed to the Golden Sun?
frost_jewel: (moonrise)

[personal profile] frost_jewel 2014-01-27 05:48 am (UTC)(link)
No...but I've heard that term before. [She makes a mental note of it, to ask Teddy about another time.] Unless you mean the sort that rises and sets every day. Sit down, please, you don't need to keep standing there looking like you're in trouble.

[Sheena jumps, which isn't unusual; she also backpedals, taking a fighting stance and ready to attack, until she sees who it is.]

Colette? [Can't say her method of entry is any surprise.]
moral_rief: (flustered)

[personal profile] moral_rief 2014-01-27 05:53 am (UTC)(link)
Yes, Mother. [He says automatically and obediently, then he quickly covers his mouth as he realizes what he said.] My apologies.

[And he finds himself a nearby seat, fidgeting right into it.]

Where were we? Ah yes, the Golden Sun...
corrinesbell: (carefree)

[personal profile] corrinesbell 2014-01-27 05:54 am (UTC)(link)
[Sheena watches her do that a few more times; when no catastrophe happens, she goes back into the kitchen to brew more tea.]
corrinesbell: (don't worry about it)

[personal profile] corrinesbell 2014-01-27 06:00 am (UTC)(link)
Hey, you do remember me. [She's relieved. She's smiling.] Yeah, this is the tea shop again.
sweetestangel: (wind)

[personal profile] sweetestangel 2014-01-27 07:42 am (UTC)(link)
[Now isn't the time to lament the broken door, not when she hears that voice. Her expression brightens immediately.] Sheena? You're here too?
frost_jewel: (gentle)

[personal profile] frost_jewel 2014-01-27 02:11 pm (UTC)(link)
[Usually, when Kurt (or Teddy, the fink) said "yes, mom" they meant it in jest, calling out her tendency to hover. This boy means it as it is.]

It's all right, we don't have to talk about that. Clearly it is in my future and I will get there soon enough on my own.
