[ <sub>for two days, Jim will be wandering, looking at some of the different districts and seeing what all is up.

you might find him:
1) being really confused by Mallowhallow early in the afternoon of May 19th. for a while he'll be wandering around, but you might catch him in the act of jumping into one of the pillow piles just for the hell of it, after a local convinces him it's not only totally okay, but totally awesome.

2) wandering Orlea through late afternoon and well into the night of May 19th, getting the layout of the place he's now living in. he'll be popping into a few cafes and shops, and will at one point be on the roof of one of the buildings, looking at the stars.

3) getting hellishly lost in Crystalden through the late morning to the early afternoon of May 20th. he'd really love to leave and good god why does everything look the same?! he's looking for a laptop- feel free to help.

4) he'll only be in Whitewood for the most of the afternoon of May 20th. he'll be there long enough to mobbed by a flying pack of tiny fairies and he will escape with a bloody lip and scratches on his face and a severe appreciation for how much he hates fairies.

feel free to bother him throughout his day! he will be wearing a nice jacket, a white v-neck and some loose jeans; he will look tired, though his hair will be brushed back meticulously, and he'll be taking pictures with his phone all over.</sub> ]

[Porrim is one of the few in her species that isn't strictly nocturnal, but then, she's also a rainbow drinker. Nighttime is interesting to her mainly because she was never confined to it, so she's gotten into the habit of taking walks at night sometimes.

Usually, she stays lit up when she does this. Mostly because she doesn't want to frighten anyone—her coloration makes it easy for her to blend in with the shadows, and inadvertently sneak up on unsuspecting humans. But if she lets her skin glow white and her eyes yellow, she gives them ample warning.

Tonight she's out on one such walk, and as often happens, finds herself contemplating the stars, wondering if one of them is Alternia. Or if, at whatever point in time Mallow Hallow is at right now, she might be seeing Beforus somewhere up there. She was supposed to be the Maid of Space, but she never ascended, or perhaps she could go out there, somewhere, beyond the dream bubble—

Hang on. Her eye catches sight of a silhouette up on one of the rooftops, and her immediate instinct is to panic. She draws a bit closer, trying to discern who it is through the gloom, and her heart jumps into her throat when she finally makes him out up there.

She almost calls out his name, but realizes she probably doesn't want to startle him in this position. So instead, she calls out softly.]

Hey.

[sneakyshoes]

[ <sub>it's incredibly peaceful up here, on the roof. he knows he's supposed to avoid rooftops, but he doesn't see why. he doesn't mind being high up above everything else, looking at the world below him. it's ... relaxing, and familiar, and for some reason he's drawn to it.

he's also drawn to the brightly glowing personage below him, who seems to be calling at him. good god, that person is actually GLOWING. that is somewhat worrisome.</sub> ]

.. Hello?

[ _{he squints at her. she looks familiar. he pulls his phone out of his pocket, texting in an effort to not wake any who may have a window open:} ] Porrim, is that you down there?

[genitrix]

[She's relieved when her call doesn't startle him, but barely hears his reply. No matter, though, because her phone is soon buzzing where she keeps it stashed in her bodice. She pulls it out and smiles at the text from Jim.]

The o+ne and o+nly. Are yo+u o+kay up there?

[sneakyshoes]

Yes, I'm fine. Kurloz told me to go out and look at the world, so I am. It's very peaceful up here.

Have you always glowed like that? Is that another troll thing, or is it because you're a ghost?

[genitrix]

[She purses her lips, typing out a few words before deciding this would be easier if she just went up there with him. She starts toward the fire escape on the side of the building after sending another short message.]

It's easier to+ explain in perso+n. I'll be up in a seco+nd.

[Within a minute or so, she's reached the top, and she manages to clamber over the sidewall of the roof rather elegantly for someone in a silk gown. Porrim approaches Jim with a friendly look, clearly visible on her luminous face.]

Neither, actually.

[sneakyshoes]

[ _{he waits patiently for her arrival, picking at a stray thread on his shirt and staring at the sky in the meantime; when she's joined him, he smiles softly at her, looking her over.} ]

Sometimes I forget the crosses in your quirk aren't meant to be spoken. To with a cross looks like tot, for a moment.

[ _{tangents aside-} ] What is it, then? Are your horns meant to glow too?

[genitrix]

[She laughs softly at that, submitting to his scrutiny without hesitation. She knows she's a bit on an eyeful, and she's used to being looked at.]

I've been doing it so long I don't even notice it anymore to be honest. [She blinks those large, yellow eyes at him.]

No, just my skin and eyes. The thing of it is, I'm—well, we called it a rainbow drinker. I suppose you'd call it a vampire.

[kurloz_makara]

[As per usual, Kurloz was stalking the night, keeping to the shadows, although not visibly avoiding people. In fact he would often come out of just as someone was passing and scare the living daylights out of them. Sometimes a few would try to pick a fight but as per usual his height and natural aura of intimidation did them in.]

[If the light brought peace then may darkness be his friend for Kurloz shall wield fear as if it was Excalibur in the hands of Prince Arthur. Although the mime’s preferred weapon of choice was an ax or hatchets.]

[Suddenly he stops as his mind picks up a strange, and yet oddly familiar, mind. It was strange in the fact that the mind belonged to a stranger, but the intelligence and scarring where very familiar to him. He moved around a few corners and spotted Jim far away, taking pictures of the area and looking into shop windows, as if he was a mere tourist. So he took his advice huh? Good for him.]

[Slowly he walks over to the other, waving his hand when he comes into range of the other. Sup?]

[sneakyshoes]

[ _{Jim notices Kurloz before he comes close, and raises an eyebrow, waving slightly.} ]

Hi..

[ _{he waves his phone at Kurloz slightly.} ]

I decided to try this.. exploration expedition. I'm learning the layout of the city. I might go to the other districts, too. [ _{a beat.} ] I was in the pillow one earlier. It's nice, but boring. [ _{he definitely didn't roll around the whole place.} ] That was Mallowhallow. This is Orlea. The country is Mallow Hallow, too. It's all very basic.

[ _{a pause.} ] How have you been?

[kurloz_makara]

[Oh really? How did Jim manage to NOT roll around in a pillow town? He's been through a few of the places, a few he tries to avoid, Mallowhallow being one of them mostly because white pillow places weren't very comfortable when it comes down to him. But alas, that's more him than anyone else, and if Jim had fun that's all that matters.]

[He nods with each segment of information, agreeing with him and confirming he was right. He smiled at the end glad Jim's learning things so fast but at the same time not completely surprised. He was smart, that intelligence never left him, it just takes longer to formulate thought.]

[His eyes go wide at the question, surprised he would ask such a thing and then waves his hand 'this and that' sort of way. But then he gives him a thumb up, meaning although things have been going either way it's all good in the end.]

[sneakyshoes]

[ _{Jim cocks his head just a bit, smiling. he understands the handmotion and nods.} ]

Good.. That's good.

I've been taking pictures. Would you like to see?

[kurloz_makara]

[Kurloz nods, moving to Jim's side to make it easier for the other man. After all, the phones given to them weren't really big, and they definitely were not as high tech has those found in Crystalden. But hey, they still worked and they had a pretty damn good camera.]

[sneakyshoes]

[ _{he leans over and starts to flip through pictures, some tastefully done and some just ridiculous.} ]

The pillow world. I took a lot of pictures so I could maybe draw up a little map. I'm going to try different places tomorrow. Look at how silly their clothes are. Isn't that just bizarre?

Crystalden

[white_pegasus]

[Staying all day in his room while tinkering with loads of his experiment and technology invention is sure hurting his back. Therefore this prodigy decides to wander a bit in Crystalden. Somehow he managed to tinker with his communicator. It got new features now, but nothing really outrageous. Just something like mini-GPS]

[ While about to explore more, he notices someone out there looks like he is overly stressed, unknown of why.]

Sir...? Is something matter?

[Again, his desire to always help others in need raises]

[sneakyshoes]

[ _{he's not looking over when he answers.} ]

Yyyyes, I'm... [ _{and he glances at the speaker. wow, what amazing hair.} ] ...lost. Very lost. A little bit. How do you get your hair like that..?

[white_pegasus]

Uuhh...

[Hey you that is pretty sensitive--I mean it is pikachu hairstyle dude]

It is natural. For now let us think so.

[oh this is awkward]

I am not surprised. I have been through that. Where did you wanna go?

[sneakyshoes]

[ _{just look at it, it's all... pointy...} ]

Natural? It just stands up like that? How?

[ _{seriously he just...} ]

[white_pegasus]

[....]

I don't know. I was born with it.

[He puts a line face here. Well yeah, face the fact, It is naturally like that because he is hipster.]

[sneakyshoes]

It just DOES that.

[ _{....and he takes a picture} ]

Uhm. I'm lost, right.

[bigbadbasher]

[_{Sebastian goes looking for Jim early and finds him in Mallowhallow. He watches from a distance for awhile, ready to act as he converses with the locals. He can't help but crack a smile watching him dive into a pile of pillows. After a few minutes he walks up, slow and out in the open, smoking his fourth cigarette of the day.}]

Hey, Boss. Looks like fun.

[sneakyshoes]

[ _{he pops his head out of the pile he's rolling in, eyes wide.} ]

Oh. Sebastian. You're here?

[ _{oh no he totally saw that DIDN'T HE. gingerly Jim picks himself out of the pillows and stands, looking embarrassed.} ]

I didn't know you were here. ...It is fun.

[bigbadbasher]

Yeah, sorry, didn't mean t'sneak up on you.

[_{He looks past him to the pillows with a grin, finishing off his cigarette and crushing it under his boot.}]

Y'don't have to stop on my account, I just wanted to make sure you were doing okay.

[sneakyshoes]

Yes, Sebastian. I'm fine.

[ _{he stares at the man for a moment.... and then slowly falls backwards into pillows.} ]

Just bored.

[bigbadbasher]

Yeah, I hear that. I'm goin' out of my mind, t'be honest.

[_{He casually strolls over next to the pile Jim's just fallen into.}]

I s'pose it's not too bad an idea to get a feel for the place.

[_{Just as casually, he rocks back on his heels and collapses into the pile, looking at Jim as he does it.}]

[sneakyshoes]

A friend of mine told me I should look around, learn my surroundings. He thinks it'll be good for me.

[ _{he can't help but grin at Sebastian.} ]

I don't see the point of a world made of pillows.. I like it, I think. Do you?
