[The Archways]

Tifa stood at the cross roads. It was a lot to take in at once. Where to go? The folder had been informative, but experiencing something was something completely different than reading it on a piece of paper. She thumbed through the high-tech PHS she was given, unsure whether she should trust it just yet with communicating. She noted that other people were using it for various reasons. She could talk to them, but to her it wasn't the same. It felt detached.

She gave an annoyed sigh before pocketing it again. Standing around wasn't going to to solve anything. It wasn't going to get her closer to home. It wasn't going to help her run into anyone she may know here. Time to choose.

[Commonspace and Streets]

For the time being, Tifa was fine with her temporary residence. She was used to living in tight, shared quarters. As long as she had a private place to sleep and bathe, she had no issues. The money is was provided with was good enough to keep her afloat food wise until she could find work.

As much as the idea of settling in a place that wasn't home rubbed her the wrong way, she knew it was something that had to be done. If she was lucky she'd be back home the next morning. Worst case scenario she would be stuck in this strange land with no work and no money. Work would keep her grounded, and sane for the time being, again, if she could find it.

There was also the matter of a change of clothing. She couldn't just go around wearing the same thing daily, without proper washing facilities. More things to invest in, less money she had until she could find work. You'll make it work she minded herself, as she locked the door to her studio and ventured out into the city streets.

[Open]

OOC: Tifa will be exploring all nooks and crannies that she can. Could be coming into your place looking for work, friend, etc. Pick a time and place (any time any place), and we'll make it work.

Whenever he wasn't spending time at the detective agency or arguing with his roommate at home, Conan spent much of time wandering about the different cities along by himself. Despite being an obviously unaccompanied child, he had been stopped and asked about his parents very few times.

Today he was out in Genessia sitting on a bench and people watching. He idly watches Tifa walking by and catalogs little details about her appearance. Martial artist he thinks. He didn't know the different disciplines well enough to pick it out just from that, but there were similarities he spotted. Ran sometimes moved in a similar way.

Though Xander lived in Genessia, he felt more at home when in Fayren. It was much closer to what his own world was like than the much more futuristic (to him, at least) main city was.

So it happened that he walked through the Fayren archway to head home around the same time that Tifa was there looking at her device. He paused to watch her deliberate for a moment, then sigh and put it away. Seeing that, he approached her.

"Pardon me, miss." Xander stopped still a fair few feet away. Even so, it would be apparent to Tifa just how tall the man before her was. He was also wearing medieval rider's armor, and it looked high-quality and ornate. "Did you need help with something?"

Johnny’s no stranger to wandering around the place. He does have a job and a nice place to live, but he made time to go out and do things whenever he could. He’d been here for a couple of months, but there was still a lot to learn about everything. Honestly, though, he stuck mostly to Genessia City and Nova City. With Genessia City being the place that he works and Nova City being the place where he lives.

He’d grabbed a cup of coffee and was walking down the sidewalk when he spotted Tifa. He paused mid-sip and stared at her for a moment or two. They had history together. Maybe not history here, but from where he came from before this. Tifa had been one of the most important people in his life and he figured he could run into her here. Now that he had, he wasn’t sure what he should say or even if he should greet her. He was, however, staring at her a little bit.

New place, new people - of course Tifa's senses were heightened. Even when it didn't look like she was paying attention to her surroundings, she was. Not that she needed to be actively perceptive to notice the small child eyeballing her for a second. She glanced back and forth, where were his parents? Of course, she was used to leaving a four year old in charge of a bar, so it wasn't too alarming for her. Still, this wasn't Midgar, or Edge.

She turned to him with a smile and gave him a friendly wave. "Hi. Are you lost?" Not that she could help him. She didn't quite know her way around here to begin with.

Tifa wasn't particularly short, however, even she was caught a little off guard when the man approached her. She instinctually took a step back, her muscles tensing slightly. They relaxed just as quickly, however, when he deemed him not a threat. "Oh, um, no, I'm alright," she answered, putting her hands behind her back. "First day here. Just trying to figure out where I'm exploring first."

She was a newcomer? That explained things. Xander nodded in response.

"I suspected that might be the case. It wasn't that long ago that I was in your shoes."

He then took a look back at the archway he had just walked through. It was probably not a good idea to go back through, so he turned to her and asked, "Have you already explored Genessia? If not, I'd be happy to show you around to some of the more significant locations nearby."

Tifa had stopped by a coffee stand herself to grab some. There wasn't much of a kitchen in the common area so she didn't take the time to make her own at home, as she would normally do. It didn't take her long to notice the young man staring at her.

Why were people here always staring at her?

She promptly lifted her brow at him, and took a few steps towards him. Free hand planted on her hip. "Do I have something on my face?"

"I've been to the common areas, to get settled in, but that's it," she responded. Her face lit up. Someone to show her around? "That's very nice of you. As long as I wouldn't be taking up your time."

Xander shook his head, a small grin upon his face. "Not at all. I find I have too much free time these days.

"Anyway, before we go, let me introduce myself. My name is Xander." After giving his name, he bowed formally. "It's a pleasure to meet you."

"It's good to meet you, Xander." Tifa held her hand forward, to initiate a shake. "I'm Tifa." The last part he said stuck in her brain for a bit. "Is that common here, having too much time on your hands?"

That is most definitely Tifa. He should have known he would get that sort of reaction from staring at her for so long.

"Uh, no. Sorry. You just look like this really beautiful girl I used to know. I thought you were her for a few moments there."

Tifa's eyes rolled back. "Please, as if I haven't heard that one before." She owned a bar after all, and sometimes she was glad their was a counter between her and drunk patrons.

For their sakes, of course.

"Yeah. You probably have." There is a somber sort of look in his eyes. One that is rare for him. Just thinking about her in a bar brough back so many mempties. The Axiom Lounge was a place he called his home. He even named his business here, Axiom Games, after it.

" Again. Sorry."

She gave a slight sigh. "It's fine. I'll take it as a compliment." She tilted her head slightly and looked curiously at him. "You're not about to cry are you?"

"Nah. Johnny Storm doesn't cry." If he were, he'd have already she'd those tears long ago. Still, seeing her stirred up so many memories and emotions. He needed to shake them.

"So. You new?"

"If you say so." Sometimes it was hard to get things past Tifa. It wasn't that she was incredibly intuitive, it was just easy for her to read the emotions of people's faces. She had a lot of practice with a certain best friend of hers. She didn't know him, though. Tifa wasn't going to make it a habit of prying into stranger's business if she didn't have to.

"What it away?" She questioned, with a slight chuckle. Her hand reaching out for him to shake. "Johnny? I'm Tifa."

"You don't have a face that I would forget seeing around here."

Johnny spent years with her, through the bad times and the good times. It probably was the first time he's had her see through him so easily. But he didn't know this Tifa. So, there was no way she'd try to pry anything out of him.

He takes her hand and gives it a shake. "It's a pleasure to meet you Tifa."

She heard it all before, but this one really did lay it on thick. Still there was a strangeness to his voice, they way he took her hand. There was a level of familiarity that came from him actions that she wasn't quite sure about. It made her a little uneasy.

She smiled, unthoughtfully. "I'm sure it is." Then pulled away. "So, have you been here awhile then?"

Xander took a few steps forward to shake Tifa's hand. He had a firm grip, but not too hard.

"It seems to depend on the individual. Some of us have had greater responsibilities at home than here because our areas of expertise simply haven't translated into what jobs are currently available. For the time being, I've been consulting various bounties around the five cities and completing them to earn money."

That might explain the sheathed sword dangling from his belt.

"Anyway, come. I'll show you some of the significant places around the archway here."

He hasn't exactly lied about anything he said. Especially regarding her. He released her hand easily enough. Johnny couldn't help but feel comfortable around her. He just had to try not to let any unneeded info slip.

"Just a few months. Feels like longer, though." He's gotten a nice setup here during those few months.

"Well hopefully a little bar tender like myself won't have too much trouble," she mused. She figured it was best to keep the "I've saved the world a few times" or "Ex-eco-vigilante" out of the conversation, and her resume.

The last thing she needed was to cause trouble in a new place where she didn't need to cause trouble. (If it needed it that's another story.) "So these archways are just door ways to other areas, right?"

If Tifa was truly nosing around everywhere, she might hear quite the commotion during her nature walk.

Ted's voice would go off like a pistol shot before the chaos. "Annnd...go!"

Gengar, the grinning ghost, faced off against the rest of his team: Vileplume, the spore-spewing flower, Trevenant the tanky tree, and Cacturne the spike-shooting cactus.

Gengar could beat any on his bench 1-on-1, so the obvious thing to do was move up to 1-on-everyone!

Shadow balls fly, spikes shoot, Trevenant nobly runs defense, and spores go everywhere! At least Ted had the forethought to not do this in public. He's got a gas mask and very disposable (read: dumpster-quality) clothes on just in case.

"Is that a common theme among the abducted?" Not that she was going to complain about a place being so peaceful that it became boring, Tifa could use a little boredom in her life. Just not too much. "I met a man a few days ago, and he told me there's an adjustment period for those who are used to a little more action in their lives."

It only took a moment for Tifa, to assess, what was happening.

MONSTERS.

She took into action quickly, into a spring until she was buy the side of the person that was ...hopefully a person. "Do you need help?"

"I think so. This place hasn't exactly been dull, though." Not that anything super excited had happened during his time. "There are ways for people that are used to excitement to get their kicks around here. Likewise there are ways for people that want peace in their lives to find it. Basically what I'm saying is, fitting in here isn't hard."
