Who: Vivi born_from_mist and Ganta rookie_deadman
Where: The grounds
When: Afternoon of Nov. 14
Rating: PG? It's Ganta and Vivi, come on.
Summary: Ganta joins Vivi for a walk.
The Story:
Ganta got to the fountain before Vivi and perched on its edge, waiting for the black mage. He swung his legs a little, head tilted back to watch some clouds pass by overhead. He didn't mind waiting, since he knew that it could take some time to figure out how to navigate the mansion. Besides, after living underground for some time, he enjoyed any opportunity he got to be outside.

Vivi's eyes widen. "...Th-that's horrible.. How could they do something like that, Mister Ganta...?!"

[rookie-deadman.livejournal.com]

Ganta shrugged and forced a smile. "Some people just do things like that."

He tilted his head back to look at the sky again. "That's why I don't mind being here so much. I miss my friends at home some, but for the most part this place is better."

"I guess you're right..." Vivi looked to the ground in thought. "Those cruel people can't get you if you're here..."

[rookie-deadman.livejournal.com]

Ganta nodded. "It's not like that for most of the people here, though. They'd rather be home than here."

He figured Vivi was probably one of those people, considering their previous conversation.

[born-from-mist.livejournal.com]

"Yeah..." He paused for a moment or two in quiet thought. "..."

[rookie-deadman.livejournal.com]

Ganta was quiet for several moments as well. He didn't speak until they'd reached the beach.

"Here we are." He smiled, looking out at the water. Even if it didn't represent a possible exit from Wonderland, he still liked it.

[born-from-mist.livejournal.com]

"...Wow... It really is nice."

Vivi glanced around at the beach, finding it a nice change from being lost inside of the huge mansion. "I didn't even know this was out here..."

[rookie-deadman.livejournal.com]

Ganta started to make his way closer to the water.

"You can see it from some of the windows on this side of the mansion."

[born-from-mist.livejournal.com]

"Really? I haven't looked out the windows much..."

Vivi walks after Ganta.

[rookie-deadman.livejournal.com]

Ganta stopped near the edge of the water, watching the waves lap over his shoes.

"Are you settling in okay, Vivi-san?"

[born-from-mist.livejournal.com]

Vivi nodded, looking out at the water.

"Yeah, a little... It's still really strange though... I met one of my friends... I-I didn't even know she was here..."

[rookie-deadman.livejournal.com]

"Really?" Ganta looked over at him. "That's good though, right? You're not alone."

I just noticed I keep switching tenses after other post...fff

[born-from-mist.livejournal.com]

"Yeah... but she looks really different... and I can't figure out why... I-it's not bad or anything... It's almost like she grew up a bit."

Vivi crouched down and picked up a small rock on the sand.

"It's... It's weird. I haven't seen her for a while so maybe she grew up really fast or something..."

It's okay. I do that a lot too 8|

[rookie-deadman.livejournal.com]

Ganta cocked his head. "Maybe she came from later than you did."

[born-from-mist.livejournal.com]

Vivi blinked, thinking about that for a moment then looked up at Ganta. "What do you mean, Mister Ganta?"

[rookie-deadman.livejournal.com]

"At the point you came from, she might be from the future. I think that's pretty common, actually."

[born-from-mist.livejournal.com]

"..."

Vivi just stared at the other, confused once again... Eiko was from the future in his time?

[rookie-deadman.livejournal.com]

"Ah...does that make sense?"

[born-from-mist.livejournal.com]

"..."

[rookie-deadman.livejournal.com]

Ganta shuffled his feet in the sand. It was pretty confusing. So were most other things about this place. He decided to drop the subject.

"It's getting a little colder, lately. I wonder if it'll snow."

[born-from-mist.livejournal.com]

Vivi stood back up, dusting off his pants and looked up at the sky.

"Really? Does it snow here?"

[rookie-deadman.livejournal.com]

"I'm not sure. It hasn't since I got here. But that was just a month or two ago."

[born-from-mist.livejournal.com]

"Oh... It'd be neat if it did."

[rookie-deadman.livejournal.com]

Ganta nodded.

"You said you traveled around a lot in your world, right Vivi-san?"

[born-from-mist.livejournal.com]

"Yeah... We went to a lot of different places."
