A couple of things.

First, I haven't heard him yelling anywhere so. Anyone seen Gokudera around? 'Cause he left some papers and. Yeah, need to talk to him.



Second... Ginny said this is a day when people from anywhere show up for a couple of days. Sooo... If there's anyone from home, uh. Contact me on this thing.

[meanwhile, Jim's out and about around the Square watching people.

... Soooo many people. He'll just take this seat here at the fountain, yep.]


[ooc; it's 4th wall! Bring him anyone, do your worst. Action or network tags are totally cool o7]

And now we're not strangers.

Did anyone show up here with you?

[picklevoodoo.livejournal.com]

Well, I was with Stitch and we turned the corner by the television store? And then I was here, but I can't find Stitch, and Nani's at work.

[There's no word on who either of these people are, sorry, Jim.]

I was looking for David or somebody, or even Myrtle, but I couldn't find any of them...

[She's starting to look more and more worried the more people she realizes she can't find. For being a lost six-year-old, though, she's pretty calm.]

[trytofindit.livejournal.com]

Uh..

Sorry, but I... don't think any of those people are here. I haven't heard their names around.

Did you wanna go look for them?

[picklevoodoo.livejournal.com]

Do you know Nani Pelekai? She's my sister. She said I'm supposed to give people our phone number if I get lost, but I don't want weirdos calling my house.

[She doesn't notice that this implies that you are also a weirdo, Jim.]

[trytofindit.livejournal.com]

No, I don't. M'sorry. But I don't think a phone number's gonna reach your house from here.

[picklevoodoo.livejournal.com]

That might be a good thing.

[There's a brief scowl.]

She'll be all freaked out if she answers the phone and knows I'm lost, anyway.

[There's a pause as she looks at the fountain. Her face changes a bit as something starts to sink in.]

This isn't Kauai, is it?

[trytofindit.livejournal.com]

...



No, it's not. It's a place called the City.

[picklevoodoo.livejournal.com]

....just. The City.

[CAUTIOUS SKEPTICISM...]

[trytofindit.livejournal.com]

Yep.

[picklevoodoo.livejournal.com]

...can I go home?

[She asks in the pleading tone that implies that Jim might have all the answers for her, that Jim would be the guy, out of all the guys, to make it happen for her. Please, Jim? Look, she's getting worried.]

[trytofindit.livejournal.com]

...Um. M-- I'm sorry but none of us can. You'll probably go home in a day or so, if what my friend Ginny told me is right. I'm sorry, Lilo.

[picklevoodoo.livejournal.com]

Hm.

[The crestfallen look starts to fade as she begins to think.]

A day isn't too long...

[trytofindit.livejournal.com]

I could show you around, get you something to eat if you want?

[picklevoodoo.livejournal.com]

Okay! Can we get cake? Or-- or ice cream! I just had Hawaiian Ice, we could get ice cream!

[AND THESE ARE HER DEMANDS. Sob, she'd be kidnapped in a minute, wouldn't she...]

[trytofindit.livejournal.com]

Yeah, we can do that. I know a good place.

[picklevoodoo.livejournal.com]

Awesome! Wait'll I tell Stitch!

[BIG GRIN. You've made her day.]

Nani gave me money for the day, so I can pay for yours! You'll have to buy me mine, but they'll be like presents!

[trytofindit.livejournal.com]

Actually!



We don't have to pay for anything. The City people will just give it to us. Like presents for making us stay here.

[picklevoodoo.livejournal.com]

No. Way.

[Big. Over-dramatic. Pauses. Between words.]

[trytofindit.livejournal.com]

Yep! We're underage, so the City doesn't make us pay a thing for food.

[picklevoodoo.livejournal.com]

But it'd make my sister pay? 'Cause she's old and fat, maybe it'll make her pay extra!

[trytofindit.livejournal.com]

Yeah, probably. Come on.

[picklevoodoo.livejournal.com]

[And she takes it immediately-- she likes the idea of a big brother, Jim's like David, except he wears more clothes and she doesn't feel compelled to tell him the contents of Nani's diary.]

Where is the place?

[trytofindit.livejournal.com]

It's called Pandora's. They have the best ice cream and cake in the City.

[picklevoodoo.livejournal.com]

Do they have that kind of lava cake where it's cake AND ice cream and the cake is all really warm and has melty-chocolate-stuff inside?

[THE FATE OF THE WORLD HINGES ON YOUR ANSWER]

[trytofindit.livejournal.com]

... You know, I don't know? But I bet they do. They have food from every world here, so why wouldn't they.
