Mixing it Up [Elaine]

[Nothingness]

August 7^th

Viola was sitting on her desk, arms and legs crossed, eyes closed, facing her unofficial second-in-command, Summer. The young brunette was wringing her beret in her hand, closing her eyes and taking a few shaky, deep breaths. "Alright, once more." She opened one eye lazily, watching Summer stick out her chest and get a determined look in her eye. Shooting an arm out, the woman yelled, "Alright, you guys! Let's make this quick! Don't show any mercy!"

The Shield Captain tapped the heel of a shoe against the desk. "That wasn't...bad." Summer dropped her head, losing any appearance of confidence, muttering hoarsely, "Yeah, that sucked. Like the last one. And the one before that." "Just gotta show some goddamn confidence--not the fake stuff." "We've been at this for three hours! Why'd you make this session so much longer exactly?" Viola pinched the bridge of her nose and groaned. "Because I'm heading off to do shit, and you're the only one I trust to lead these idiots in my stead."

Summer threw her arms up and grabbed the back of her neck. She had no problems working with or being around others, but for whatever reason, Viola decided to make her her replacement. Not only that, but Viola knew fully well that she was terrible leading anyone. "But, seriously, why me exactly?"

Viola shrugged. "You've got the shit to lead, just need to find it. Alright--just work on it until I come back. REAL confidence next time. You can't get these fuckers to listen to you if its fake." She pushed herself off of the desk and walked passed her replacement, giving her a heavy smack on the back.

Viola snapped out of her reverie as the ship landed on the new world. Some scouting ships she sent out a week ago came back saying they spotted this new world. "Notre Dame, eh?" She mumbled, disembarking onto what looked like an old cemetery.

It had been months since she'd left Traverse Town, and she needed a change of scenery, if only for a day or two. Taking the mission of getting a general understanding of the world's people, culture, and Heartless population was a pretty good excuse to get out.

[Fate]

Out and about.

A fair amount of time had passed since those horrific events happened in the city. Elaine had taken a long time to get past the fact she had seen someone beheaded in front of her and then an unknown force almost trying to destroy the town. Before, when people hadn't started to enter her world, things had been normal. Things had been mundane of course, but nothing like this. Now, she was almost nervous about when an outsider would come next. What sort of terror would they bring on this innocent world?

She walked past the cathedral today, not going inside. She didn't want to stay in the town much today. This had been the first time in a long time that she went out of her home alone. Hopefully, no person trying to destroy her home or hurt more innocent people would be here this time.

Ain't this place depressing as shit

Viola had only been here for a few minutes, but she was already wishing she had sent someone like White or Handred. Maybe she just landed in the wrong part of town, but everything here was so damn dull! The house colors were dull, the lights were dim, the sky was cloudy: talk about a bad time to come here.

After having gone around the block once, she also noticed that she was the only one--wait, nevermind. There was some blond princess-looking chick walking down the street. Hopefully she'd be able to give some good intel. She certainly looked like a local, and not a very threatening one at that.

Jogging up to her, Viola gave her a good-natured wave, asking politely, "Good evening! Are you from around here? I'm finding myself a little lost, so I'd be really grateful if you could help me out." Nothing wrong with a lie. Especially since she was being nice. Lying was one hell of a way to make her feel more comfortable about being nice.

The spade card hadn't been to many worlds, but this one was such a contrast to all the others. Mind you, she hadn't been to many. It was probably about night here, though she didn't exactly know what night was..one thing she knew was that she got tired during that time and usually went to sleep. However, she had taken up exploring around this place. There didn't seem to be many people out, actually hardly anyone. Hazel eyes looked up at the tall buildings surrounding her and she felt immensely small. Much like the room she had been in when she had first awoken. She gulped and continued forward. She jogged around a corner and then moments later ran into two people.

Alyxandrea stumbled back, catching herself before she landed on the cobblestone beneath her. "Uuh..uhh.." she stuttered, stumbling as she managed to stand back up. She was a bit clumsy. She looked up at whoever she had ran into and as she did she felt immensely shy. "..H-hi." was the only thing she could say.

[Fate]

No, definitely not from around here.

Two people, almost at the same time. The first one had found her and started talking to her rather politely, definitely not from around the area. Another person from outside this world? Why did they keep suddenly coming? Hopefully not to hurt anymore of her people. She did not seem to want that, and Elaine was naive enough to trust what was said. "Yes miss, I am," she said, nodding her head, "Is there any place you want to--"

That was when the other person bumped into the both of them, causing Elaine to stumble herself. This one... she looked rather different. There was something off about her looks. But who was Elaine to judge? She smiled and offered a hand to help her up. "You are not from around here either, are you? Is there something I can help you with too? My name is Elaine." Her French accent was strong as she did her best to speak English to the both of them. Hopefully they understood her.

Under any other circumstances...

Well, that was one hell of an accent. It sounded nice to the ears, but that was about it. Viola was going about to interject a reply, but then some other girl just happened to run into them. If they were in Traverse Town--okay, more like when she wasn't trying to be nice--she would've brought her sword to the girl's neck and chewed her out for being so damn reckless. But, she was restraining herself here, as painful as it was. "Oh, I'm sorry. Hello." The Captain said to the new girl as politely as she could, though her eyes did a good enough job of betraying that.

"I just flew in and I was just curious as to what all is on this world. I really love traveling, and I like to know as much about a place as I can before I leave. So, if you could show me around a bit, that would be lovely." Oh, lying, how you make things so sweet. And tolerable, in this case. Just then, she realized she had forgotten to lie about something else. "Oh! Before I forget, my name's Lindsey, Lindsey Braden, pleasure to meet both of you." She gave them her sweetest smile. And behind it, she couldn't wait to puke her fucking guts out.
