Happy Happy [Open, backdated to Day 1]

[greennotgold]

Characters: Fletcher and you!
Format: Starting in prose, will switch if you want
This log is: open
Location: Around the courtyard
Summary: Fletcher got back his brother's name. He is filled with glee.

There's a bounce in Fletcher's step that wasn't there the day before. He's in the courtyard, for once not heading anywhere in particular but just looking around. He's happier than he has been up until now, so he's finally noticing just how nice this campus is. The buildings are actually kind of pretty, and the plant life is all so well-kept.

He still isn't pleased with having been kidnapped and dragged here, but right now things are looking up.

As he's making his way around the courtyard, he might just catch sight of someone else. If it's someone he knows, he'll probably wave to them and call out; if not, well, he'll still peer at them curiously. Say hi?

Oh, there was that boy she'd met when the players were announced! Lyra waves back, happily. She's won a fight, so even if this whole thing is confusing, she's got something to back up her confidence.

"Fletcher!"

[greennotgold]

Fletcher grins when Lyra waves back and calls to him, and moves closer. "Hi, Lyra! How are you?"

[loyal_liar]

"I'm doing pretty well! I won my first fight, so I have three weapons and won't have to fight again for a bit," Which is good, in Lyra's eyes.

"How about you?"

[greennotgold]

"Oh, wow. Congratulations!" That was good... The less people had to fight, the better.

"My brother bought me a Memory Charm," Fletcher replied, holding up his hand to show the charm dangling off of it, "and now I remember his name! It's Russel." He couldn't recall if he'd told Lyra that before with the help of the list of Players, but it didn't matter; he was just happy saying the name.

[loyal_liar]

"Thanks!"

"You remember his name? That's... That's really good!" Not remembering her own daemon's name was still eating at Lyra. Almost as badly as forgetting his true form.

[greennotgold]

"Yeah. I'm so glad." Nothing could bring Fletcher down today.

"I wonder if we get to go home when we get all ten," he wondered.

[loyal_liar]

"I hope so. You think it could really be that simple?"

[greennotgold]

"Maybe. We won't need to get tokens after that, right?" It made sense to him, after all.

[loyal_liar]

"Yeah, but why wouldn't they say that? It'd encourage people to try to get more tokens, if it was the only way home," Lyra's... a bit more skeptical.

[greennotgold]

"...I don't know." His smile faded a little; maybe he'd been wrong. Hm. "But there has to be some way..."

Romeo was in the courtyard, it was nice to be outside, he was not used to being inside all the time so whenever he didn't have lessons he was outside in the woods or in the courtyards. The trees were fun to climb, but today he was just in the courtyard.

He saw the boy over the other side of the courtyard and made his way there. He hadn't met anyone his own age really while he had been here but he had seen children around. He figured now was a good time to meet a new friend.

"Hello!" He gave a big grin and waved at the other boy.

[greennotgold]

"Ah-- hi!" Fletcher turned when he noticed someone else approaching him, and smiled. "How are you?" He didn't know him, but that was always a good question to ask.

[myblueskies]

Romeo smiled back, he was glad to have found someone who looked about the same age as him. "I'm good! Are you all right?" He hoped he was, this place was so full of adults and though none of them had hurt Romeo yet he was a little worried that the other children in the school might be being hurt. Especially when you had to find an owner; bosses did not need much excuse to hurt those that worked for them.

"I'm Romeo by the way," he smiled again wider this time.

[greennotgold]

"I'm fine too," Fletcher replied. "My name is Fletcher, it's nice to meet you! Are you new here?"

[myblueskies]

"Hello Fletcher, it's nice to meet you." Romeo grinned even more, "I came last week on the train!" His eyes shone, being on a train was exciting! "How about you?"

[greennotgold]

"I got here two weeks ago." It wasn't particularly something Fletcher was glad about... "I was one of the Players last round, too."

[myblueskies]

"Really?" So children could be players too? Romeo hadn't known that, he had thought it was just the adults. "It must have been scary having to fight all those adults!"

[greennotgold]

"K... kind of," he replied, nervousness creeping onto his face. "I only had to do one fight, though, and it was with someone else our age."

[myblueskies]

Romeo nodded, so there had been someone else their age as a player as well. He sensed Fletcher's nervousness though and changed the subject slightly. "I've never been to a school before, nobody told me that you had to fight at school!" Doctor Casella had definitely never mentioned it.

[greennotgold]

"I haven't in a long time," Fletcher answered. "Um, I don't think it's normal. Not where I'm from, anyway."

Montblanc is sitting on a bench and poring over his rulebook, making sure that he understands the rules of the game that he's been dragged into. He glances up and smiles as the boy walks by, surprised and pleased to see someone as upbeat as he is.

[greennotgold]

Well, that's... strange. Fletcher stops to take a look at the little creature. Is it a rabbit? Or... what is that? Not a chimera...?

[lookouthalifax]

He gives the boy a wave and a cheery, "Hi there, kupo!"

[greennotgold]

"Um... um, hi." Fletcher waves back, tilting his head curiously. "Ah, my name's Fletcher, not Kupo... who are you?"

[lookouthalifax]

Montblank blinks, surprised to meet yet another person who doesn't know how moogles speak. "It's good to meet you, Fletcher!" he says. "Kupo! I'm Montblanc, the head of Clan Nutsy in Ivalice." There's a faint hopeful tone in his voice. You've heard of Ivalice, right? It's a big country, hard to miss.
