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.

That certainly sounds puzzling! [Not to mention impossible. Clark is quite visibly surprised by all of this.] Why don't you tell me more about this puzzle, Luke? [Living here? What's that supposed to mean?]

Four years? What're you trying to sell me, boy? [He jabs an accusatory finger.] I remember it like it was yesterday! In fact, I think I still have some sand stuck in my hair, courtesy of that blasted desert!

I suppose it would mean that my stay here is only temporary. It's possible my presence here is only the result of a temporary shift.

[He turns slightly when Nephry moves around him, before turning again to face her.]

But regardless, it's still... nice to see you again. [He tries to mask just how much of an understatement that is behind a smile.]

[He settles a hand on his chin.]

Change is never easy... especially for one so young as you were. It's only natural to find comfort in the old and familiar. Then, it was London; now, it is your father.

He was here, for a while. He told me a thing or two about the future of our world.

[He reminded her of someone, at times, when the light caught him the right way and especially once when they were in battle together.]

However, he failed to mention you, though he must have known.
moral_rief: (the family sass)

[personal profile] moral_rief 2014-01-29 04:43 pm (UTC)(link)
He did? This is all very unusual. Does this sort of thing happen often?

[He frowns.]

Perhaps he is more acquainted than me with something called 'tact'.

[ A scarce few minutes later, the Professor returns with her cocoa, taking the offered seat. Having the drink makes her feel a little better about this already. ]

Thank you, Nephry.
frost_jewel: (giggle)

[personal profile] frost_jewel 2014-01-29 05:38 pm (UTC)(link)
He didn't know me very well; maybe he thought I would be upset.

[She realizes this implies something about Rief, too.]

Well, while you're here, if you'd like to stay here I'm sure you can.

Good to hear.

[He can't help but think a little about that 'I suppose' there, but he puts that down to the experiments and everything that makes the enclosure what it is. Anyway, has anything happened? Where to even start...]

Lots of things have happened. My brother caught up with the rest of us and we were just about to face the King.

[Aaand now he's here again. Pretty bad timing, really.]
castbytheglyph: (And people say we monkey around!!)

[Oh. Oops. She hugs him a little tighter at that.]

Geeze, I'm sorry Luke. I thought there would be some crazy awesome stories not the crazy sad kind.

[But just because there aren't many crazy stories doesn't mean Luke should feel down about it! No no, quite the opposite. Time to look on the bright side! The bight side happens to include Pascal breaking the hug, so that's a bonus.]

But hey! Whaddya think about the Prof showing up here, today? It could totally happen y'know! I mean if I'm here then there could be all sortsa faces poppin' up to give you a great big hey-o.

Two-... [He sort of concluded he might have been here for some time because of those wings, but two years??]

That's a ridiculous amount of time you've been here. I can hardly believe it when I've only just seen you barely a week or two ago! [ He looks Luke once over and hand resting on his chin.] But you don't seem as little as I remembered, so perhaps what you're saying is true...

Unfortunately, I can't say the same about you claiming I've been here. I don't remember ever being in this strange village before today.

I'M SO RUSTY WITH HIM THOUGH UGH.

[In a synchronized motion, both rappig and human lift their heads and turn when their names are called, though the former actually approaches Nephry with a bit of a bounce in its step. Thank goodness Dist doesn't make the correlation, because there would certainly be hell to pay if he found out Peony named one of his filthy pets after him.]

Nephry. [His tone sounds glad to see her, before it drips back into the loathsome droll as he observes the little porcine pet snuffling around her feet.] ...I can only presume Peony's been returned in my...absence?

How long has it been since then, anyhow?

[It's easy enough to spot Sheena bustling about, waiting on the many people in the shop. Presea couldn't for the life of her recall a time when Luceti in general was this packed with people, though her memories were still trickling in slowly. Everything seemed vastly different than what she remembered, too. The buildings and facilities were more technologically advanced and locations and things have changed so much.

She lingers, quietly, at the front of the shop. Presea's never been one to be very loud, and instead waits patiently for her friend to get a free minute.]


corrinesbell: (in total shock // oh right)

[personal profile] corrinesbell 2014-01-30 01:53 am (UTC)(link)
"Too"? I'm- I've been- are you okay?

[She usually is, after one of these gravity moments, but it can't hurt to ask.]
corrinesbell: (with corrine; concentrating)

[personal profile] corrinesbell 2014-01-30 01:56 am (UTC)(link)
Sometimes people don't, y'know? And I kinda think it is a prank. On us, not you.
sweetestangel: (bright)

[personal profile] sweetestangel 2014-01-30 01:59 am (UTC)(link)
I-I'm okay! Are you?
corrinesbell: (take a knee)

[personal profile] corrinesbell 2014-01-30 01:59 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, this kinda feels like too many people. Some of them remember being here before and I guess it's a compliment that they wanna come back for my tea.
corrinesbell: (hey there)

[personal profile] corrinesbell 2014-01-30 02:08 am (UTC)(link)
[When some of the chaos settles at last, Sheena gets the acute sense of being watched and turns toward the door, hesitant. She doesn't do well with that feeling these days.

When it's Presea and not some kind of enemy she hurries over with a surprised half-smile.]
corrinesbell: (just a little embarrassed)

[personal profile] corrinesbell 2014-01-30 02:11 am (UTC)(link)
I didn't just fall through a door.

[Thus, she is the more likely to be just fine. Sheena stands there once Colette is back on her feet, unable to decide what to do with her hands.]

Do you wanna come in? [She's already in, and Sheena laughs in one short burst at how dumb that sounded.] Sorry. You know what I mean.
sweetestangel: (cheer)

[personal profile] sweetestangel 2014-01-30 02:31 am (UTC)(link)
[That elicits a giggle from the Chosen.] Thanks, Sheena. Let's find somewhere to sit!
hisapprentice: (scrappy)

[personal profile] hisapprentice 2014-01-30 03:35 am (UTC)(link)
I'm not little. [And he never was and don't you dare disagree.] But you were here. You tried to keep pretending for a little while, until I said your name.
moral_rief: (sad)

[personal profile] moral_rief 2014-01-30 03:46 am (UTC)(link)
Really? I don't wish to impose on you. Or make you uncomfortable.
brilliantdeception: (and I will swallow my pride)

[personal profile] brilliantdeception 2014-01-30 03:58 am (UTC)(link)
[You're always gonna be little Luke to him, sorry.]

That seems pointless of me to do. Everyone already knows what I've done and who I am thanks to you and the Professor. [Out of habit he reached up in an attempt to pull his hat down, only to remember he didn't have it anymore. Heh. A wry smile was on his face] Besides...I already said I wanted to make amends for what I've done.
hisapprentice: (no way!)

[personal profile] hisapprentice 2014-01-30 05:11 am (UTC)(link)
I'm not selling you anything, sir, it's true! We left Monte D'or years ago! [Look, Luke got himself a whole sweater in the interim.]
hisapprentice: (one i've never heard)

[personal profile] hisapprentice 2014-01-30 05:13 am (UTC)(link)
[Tighter is nice...and closer to the smell. Luke makes a face, again.]

I've...sort of been looking for him. But I don't want to be sad if he isn't here.
