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]

[Sarah Hawkins weaves her way through the crowds, looking a bit more harried than usual. That is to say, her cap is probably a little askew with all the jostling that's happening, but she's just trying to find a way out of here. And then suddenly, she stumbles to the fountain, spots her son, and... her eyes widen.]

Jim.

Where have you been?

[She's gotten the low-down about this place from some friendly people at the Welcome Centre, so no explanations are exactly needed. But she edges her way around a few more people and she's right there. Hello, Jim. Hope you've been a good boy lately because she will hear about it if you haven't.]

Uh-- Right. Right here.



When did you get here?

[bothgrounded.livejournal.com]

A few hours ago.

[She presses her fingers to her eyes for a few moments, and it's not exactly anger she's feeling. It's relief. Absolute relief. She was so worried, for heaven's sake. First she lets him go gallivanting off in space and now she's here and she's missed him so much. Sarah drops her hand away and looks at him and the tension between her brows is gone, it's all soft smiles and open arms.]

[It's only been a few months, but it feels like he's grown up so much between seeing him leave Montressor and now. Sarah takes a half-step back when she finds herself with an armful of Jim and then hugs him just as tightly back.]

I've missed you so much.

action; this entire post is just one long heartbreak ;_;

<font size="-2"[He swallows hard, refusing to loosen his grip on her and closes his eyes.] Y-you too, mom.

action; i know right ;____;

[bothgrounded.livejournal.com]

[Her heart clenches at this, the tone of his voice, how he hasn't even let go of her yet. This usually doesn't happen. Sarah leans back a little and smooths his hair back from his face, brows knit as she peers at him, voice soft.]

What happened? Are you all right?

action; /holds everyone in this post

[trytofindit.livejournal.com]

Nothing-- Nothing happened, I'm fine. It's just been uh, a while.

action; it's so disney *___*

[Jim, when has lying to your mother ever worked for you? The way she is still frowning means that, yeah, no, she totally doesn't believe that's all it is. She keeps her hand on his cheek, though, as if holding him there and staring him down studying his face will change things.

It doesn't, not really.

But it's a welcome sight.

Then she sighs, shoulders dropping a bit, and she hugs him close again.]

I can't believe I let you go like that. What was I thinking? Character-building months in space... Months.

action; All the Disney *__*

[trytofindit.livejournal.com]

... Y-yeah. Months.



I still needed to.

action; augh god i love your jim

[bothgrounded.livejournal.com]

[Sarah breathes out a soft sigh again, eyes closing briefly. She remembers the conversation like it was yesterday. You've tried everything was part of it. And then she looks at him again and offers a slight smile. I'll make you proud was the other.]

I know you did, Jim.

[Pause. It was a treasure hunt straight out of a book, but she can't help but ask - ]

So... were the stories true?

action; fjasldjf thank you <3 ;A;

[trytofindit.livejournal.com]

...I don't know. I didn't make it that far before I got brought here.



I still think they are.

action; /stalks him forever

[bothgrounded.livejournal.com]

Because that's how this place... works. Right.

[Sarah watches him for a few moments, thinking, then she seats herself on the lip of the fountain.]

Well, then. Tell me all about how far you did get.

action; /plays him forever

[trytofindit.livejournal.com]

Right.

...

And-- And that's it.

action; PLEASE DO also alskdal sorry edit

[bothgrounded.livejournal.com]

[Yeah, no, leaving out the dangerous details was a good life decision, Jim. Because, yes, Sarah really is willing to sit here and listen all about his adventures, and though having him so far away wasn't her first choice... she can tell he's actually happy. Happier than being stuck in Montressor with the cops, anyway.]

That's it? That's... it's―I don't... [She actually laughs.] Sounds like a lot more than just 'it.'
