Polar Opposites!

[9tailedtemptress]

Character(s): Ahri and You! + Ronnae and You!
Location: All around the Garden
Rating: PG-13, maybe a bit higher? But not too likely. (Maybe because of Ahri)
Open/Closed/Finished: Open!
Summary: Two very different females set off into the Garden. Meet up and explore or just say hi!  (1 double post for ease of writing and not spamming the comms! Post on the subject line who you will interact with~)

A whole new place for her to explore and learn from?! YES PLEASE! Ahri couldn't be more excited! And the place was wonderful! The architecture, the people, the location, everything was so much different than what she was used to in Valoran. The nine-tailed girl sauntered through the Garden at a pleasant pace, making sure to explore and see everything she could about the place. She'd smile and greet passersby and maybe toss a wink or a kiss in the direction of those who's gaze lingered for long.

This seemed like it would be lots of fun and she couldn't wait to meet new people, or prey, or both! She'd need to take sustenance from some of these after all~ She'd make sure to make it as sweet and enjoyable as she could of course~ Even her elegant tails where swaying side to side with the sway of her hips, as if playing around behind her.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Ronnae on the other hand recognized the place immediately and after meeting with the Superiors she set her things in her room and set of to see what had chanced in the time she was gone.

She didn't know why, or how she had disappeared, but the fact that she was back made her feel as if her mission here wasn't done and she wanted to make sure she did everything she could to help out... That's not to say that she wasn't the same bundle of shyness and blushing that she usually is. Keeping her head down, face slightly covered by her long, wine colored bangs, she made her way through the areas she frequented the most, if anything just to reacquaint herself with the Garden and maybe see if there were any familiar faces around.

She'd still timidly greet those who she'd pass close by, not wanting to seem rude.

Ronnae please!

After recently mistaken an older alternate of one of her friends for her friend's older brother and some talk on the BBS about unrelated people who look alike, Mikuru didn't want to get her hopes up too high as she approached the familiar-looking girl.

"Ronnae, is that you?"

Awww \o/

[shiest_sunbeam]

Ronnae stopped at hearing her name, her long ears twitching in recognition as she raised her head slightly to look up at the person. After a brief moment a shy but genuine smile spread on her lips and she nodded,

"Y-yeah, it's me... I'm back," she said giving a small wave. "It's really nice to see you!" she added a bit more excitedly.

[bunnypassingby]

"You too!"

Mikuru beamed, pleased to have gotten not just the right person but an old friend. She was getting far too used to losing friends and roommates to time compression, so actually seeing one again was a lovely surprise.

"Welcome back," she added, her smile growing warmer. "I... kind of forgot how long it's been since you were here..."

For a time traveler, Mikuru had a really lousy handle on time.

"Do you remember what month you were here last?"

[shiest_sunbeam]

Ronnae blushed but was smiling just the same. This had been a great surprise, coming back and running into a friend and them recognizing her did wonders to her emotions at the moment.

At the question she tapped her chin in thought before tilting her head curiously. "I... I don't think I could tell you exactly but, I was gone around nine to ten months? Something of the sort I think."

[bunnypassingby]

"I didn't realize it had been that long," she mused.

So much had happened in that time. Which parts of it were worth telling someone who had missed it all?

"Um, you've missed some people graduating, a couple of weird things with time compression first pulling in bad guys from other worlds and then later on pulling in people for just a few hours at a time... And I'm leader of the Garden Festival Committee now," Mikuru added as an afterthought.

Also Ronnae!

Stepping outside of her dorm with a lazy stretch, Maria prepared to face the day like any other --

Except there, walking down the hell, was a figure that couldn't possibly be anyone else.

"Ronnae!?"

[shiest_sunbeam]

Ronnae jumped a bit surprise and twirled around to meet the person calling, stumbling a little but keeping her balance. Once she noticed who it was she couldn't help but smile and wave cheerily at Maria.

"H-hey!"

[gunbladegrrl]

"You're back and looking none the worse for wear!" She looked over the orc girl with a grin. "I guess whatever happened while you were away wasn't too bad, huh?"

[shiest_sunbeam]

Ronnae shook her head, "No, I ended up back home... It was odd but... I guess my time here wasn't done with since I appeared here once more." She paused and smiled.

"How have you been?"

[gunbladegrrl]

"I've been pretty good," she said, immediately mentally glossing over some not-so-good things that'd happened. "I don't know if you know how long it's been, but I'm midway through my third quarter now, and getting pretty good!"

Ronnae~

[moirailcompass]

[Now there was a very familiar face. Once she hadn't seen in a long time. Nepeta had never forgotten Ronnae, a person she had come to cherish and owed so much to.]

Ronnae? [And without any hesitation she rushed to greet her with a hug] You're back!

;____; <3

[shiest_sunbeam]

[Ronnae was not ready. Not ready for the sight, not ready for the sound and definitely not ready for the hug from someone she had cherished, cared about and very much loved as her best friend not only in the Garden, but one of the only few real friends she had made in her lifetime.

Tears began streaming from her face as she simply stood there before she held onto Nepeta and simply nodded.]

Y-yeah, I... I'm back.

<33

[moirailcompass]

Oh nooo. No, no. Don't cry Ronnae! You'll make me cry. [But Nepeta didn't mind at all. In fact she was laughing and she snuggled into Ronnae's embraced.]

I've missed you lots.

<3!

[shiest_sunbeam]

[Ronnae nuzzled up and hugged her for a few more moments before moving back a bit and smiling at her.]

I was worried about you... I missed you tons.

[She took a few calming breaths and relaxed a little.]

H-how have you been?

[moirailcompass]

I've been purrty good. I think I've finally gotten into the swing of things here, and I only have one more quarter to go befur I graduate. It's kind of exciting. What about you? How long has it been fur you?

Ronnae

[nevergetscredit]

Merlin might not have ever met Ronnae before, but when he turned the corner to find a green woman with...was that tusks?! walking along.

He'd seen plenty of strange people in this place, but it was still always a surprise to him to see people who'd have been executed for merely setting foot in Camelot walking around. And this woman...Merlin didn't like those tusks. Lady Catrina had had tusks, and Merlin had already had enough of those other grey trolls that they had here. And he really, really hoped that this wasn't another troll.

So when she gave him a timid greeting, Merlin watched her warily. "Hello," he said.

[shiest_sunbeam]

That particular look... It was oddly unsettling. Not quite like the looks given to her by the humans of Azeroth, or any of the other races, but not a look she felt comfortable with.

Ronnae wasn't much for questioning, she had always let things walk over her unless it was on the battlefield but something about getting that kind of look here made her stop and tilt her head slightly, still timidly of course, she kept her gaze averted, too shy to look directly at the person.

"How... H-how goes it?" she replied in a small voice.

[nevergetscredit]

"...How goes what?" Merlin said, confused by the question. He wasn't carrying anything with him...and she kept looking away from him. For such a fearsome looking woman, she seemed strangely mouseish.

[shiest_sunbeam]

Well, that was one way to get her to change colors! In the way she was now blushing from embarrassing herself.

"I m-meant, uh... H-how goes your day..."

[nevergetscredit]

"You did?" Well, that was a strange way of asking. Not to mention not what he had expected. "Oh, it's good." If turning very strange.

Merlin was finding himself increasingly flummoxed and bewildered. He hadn't thought that there could even exist a magical creature so timid. Which was making him think that she might not actually be a troll at all. Trolls would have to be the furthest thing form timid he could possibly imagine.

Which meant that Merlin was still left with no idea as to what she was. "Excuse me, but...what exactly are you?"

YOU KNOW VERY WELL WHO I WANT

[everdistant_utopia]

For her part, Saber was still adjusting to the fact that she was without a Holy Grail to keep her informed about this particular world. Previously, she instinctively 'knew' important information, but now, she had to discover things the hard and time-consuming way.

She almost felt guilty when there were new arrivals, glad that there were others who felt as lost as she. Saber could only assume the unusual appearance of one girl especially marked her as an elemental spirit of sorts. Another source of relief; another being hidden from the human beings in this era.

With the polite bow of a knight, Saber greeted the half-orc politely as she passed by. "I take it that you are a new arrival?"

I have no idea!

[shiest_sunbeam]

Ronnae paused momentarily and looked at the other woman for a few seconds before speaking in her usual timid tone.

"I ah... sort of? I used to be here long ago, but then ended up in my world once more..." she fidgeted a little before continuing.

"I just recently arrived once more... H-have you been here long?" Ronnae wondered if she had been here before or after her disappearance.

Sorry for the wait, being sick is kicking my ass orz

[everdistant_utopia]

Saber's mild surprise reflected in her sea-green eyes for a moment. "You were returned to your world, you say?"

There was hope, then, that she could return and fulfil her duty.

"I have not been at this school for very long," she replied with a shake of her head. "I am still attempting to accustom myself to this place."

Aww D: I didn't know! I hope you feel better soon hun /hugs

[shiest_sunbeam]

Ronnae nodded, "I did, I returned to where I had left. It was... odd. But now I am back and I hope to do this place service once more."

She looked over the other curiously, tilting her head slightly as she wondered how she'd been doing so far. "It's a kind place. Much different from where I come from, especially with all the technology. But it's... well p-pleasant."

Ronnae blushed a bit but kept her ground, "I admit it took me a while to get used to it myself when I first arrives. But I grew fond of it and wanted to give my all to helping things. It might take me a bit to do so again, but I plan to continue my studies and help the Garden in anyway I can..."

She paused and looked over at Saber for a moment. "I... I c-can help you if you'd like? I don't mind at all."

I'll be fine in a week, I hope

[everdistant_utopia]

Saber could certainly understand the overwhelming nature of the Gardens' technology. Without the Holy Grail to impart a basic working knowledge, the Servant felt more than a little lost. "It is quite different from my home, as well."

It was kind of her to offer, particularly since the girl -- possibly an elemental spirit from Saber's perspective -- had only just returned. "I would be most grateful for any assistance," she replied with a faint smile.
