I'm Packing Up My Bags and I'm a Head Out West...

Characters: Irvine Kinneas, Rinoa Heartilly and OPEN to all at Galbadia Garden
Progress: Complete
Summary: Irvine is surprised he's seen so many of his old friends, and hopefully to actually see them in person. But will he also meet others curious by the cowboy in a Library
Location: Library, Galbadia Garden
Date: Shortly after this post
Warnings: None that I can think of, but hey it's Irvine...he's a warning all his own.

The library was an interesting place, a place where the studious study and the wandering passer by looks at other students. This was a place where people could use the community computers as their own personal work stations, or a device to slack off and watch videos on the network, or check up on news. The cowboy was none of these things as he explored the network he was on thanks to the device the moogles gave him. Apparently all the computers were down and not responding to anything, still perfectly good seats for Irvine to put his feet up on. Strangely enough this day was just crazy and insane for him, mainly because waking up in a strange new world could cause anyone to flip out. The cowboy leaned back on the console's chair then got up and stretched his legs, then finally sitting back down. He wasn't always this fidgety, I mean hell he's a sharpshooter, but something was odd about his situation. He felt something was bad about all of this, but mainly it was worry about the people he knew were here...his friends. Irvine shook his head and thought to himself, "Come on Kinneas, you heard how Selphie, Rin, Nida, and Squall are and they seem like they're okay...not too sure about Squall seeing how that guy is a brick wall when it comes to emotions, but Selphie, Nida and Rin seem alright...and that's what counts." Shaking his head a bit he got and walked towards the entrance of the library, maybe some water or pop will make him less crazy

"Well, I didn't at first, I like my old weapon. It's kind of hard to wear it with these sleeves though." She laughed. "And I already took Squall shopping - that's when I bought these."

Irvine looked at the clothes and replied, "Clearly, those sleeves are better to hide a rod or knives or something." He then blinked at the fact that Squall went shopping with her and said, "Really? Huh...that's a surprise."

"Yeah." She tugged at the sleeves. "Well, I need someone to carry my stuff," she joked. "But really, it's good to get out and explore. There's a whole world out there, Irvine. You'll see."

Irvine thought for a second before grinning at Rinoa and saying, "Huh...guess that's one way to look at it, Rin...I mean hell we are in some strange world, best we can do is explore it." He was probably gonna do that if Squall had no work for him, get a feel for the world he was in.

He then looked at her and replied, "You know maybe I will do that, just go out for a while and see what this world can offer someone like me."

"Good idea!" Rinoa replied. "Just make sure you don't get lost. It's pretty big out there."

"Heh, don't worry about me..I always find a way to come back," Irvine stated almost cockily. He then sighed rubbing his neck and replied, "So what's next on the agenda." Irvine was feeling a little tired but wanted to know more about this place, how it worked, and what to avoid. He wanted to know as much as he could, before venturing out into the unknown.

"I think I'm gonna grab something to eat. Wanna come?" Rinoa adjusted her hat, and grinned. "Think I'll change back into my normal clothes first though."

"Sure, unless you don't mind me being around," Irvine stated, he figured the food would help build his energy, not to mention see if the cafeteria food was still eatable.

Irvine then stated, "I'll wait outside for you, that way I don't sneak a peek or something." With that, he walked out and waited outside her room.

"Of course I don't mind!"

Rinoa changed quickly, then bounced outside again. She hooked her arm into Irvine's and grinned up at him. "Would you care to escort me to the cafeteria, Mr Kinneas?"

Irvine was a little startled by Rinoa's sudden hook in, but managed to calmly state, "Why I would be honored to escort, Ms. Heartilly." With that, he walked towards the corridors for a moment, then looked around again thinking of where it would be.

Problem was, his mind was drawing a blank at the moment.

Rinoa could have gently nudged Irvine in the right direction. She had made the trip from her room to the cafeteria many times, after all. But it was more fun to tease him.

"Something wrong?" she asked slyly.

Irvine looked at her and replied, "No, no, not at all...just need to get a feel of the place." He then got a sudden idea and added, "Seeing how I have never been within the girl's dorm, I don't know too much about the route to go. So why don't you lead." He played it very cool as he could, as to not let Rinoa think he didn't know the way.

Clever, Irvine. Clever. Only not so much seeing as the boys' dormitories are practically next to the girls'.

Rinoa laughed at him. "Sure, Irvine. This way."

Irvine grinned and added, "Alright." He felt kinda embarrassed as well, here he was, a student at this school for a few years, being lead by someone who has been here once or twice. He would never admit he was lost in his old school, but at the same time he didn't feel like lead Rinoa on a wild goose chase. He then asked her, "So, the food here still the same, or they get some other world taste to it?"

"A lot of it's the same. There always seem to be too many hotdogs. Pity Zell isn't here to eat them all."

Irvine chuckled, at the Zell comment and replied, "Yea...he'd probably one of the people with a chair right in front of them." Guess not everything changed in this place.

Rinoa frowned, puzzled. "A chair right in front of them?"

Irvine blinked and replied, "You know he'd be in front of the hot dogs, just...yea..." He then shook his head and replied, "Nevermind, just a silly thought that came into my head."

Irvine saw the cafeteria had not changed since last he left. He looked around and tried to find an empty table. "So," he started, "Anywhere in particular you want to eat?

((OOC: Hope you don't mind jumping to the cafeteria. I'll change if need be))

"Oh, right, yeah! I bet he would."

Rinoa grabbed a tray, ordered her food, then joined Irvine who was looking around. The cafeteria was pretty busy, but there were a few quiet corners.

"Here," she said, pulling him over to a nearby table.

[ooc: No problem!]

Irvine was tugged by Rinoa unexpectedly as they went to a nearby table. He blinked and replied, "Heh, I guess someone's a little hungry." He then brushed himself off and generously moved the chair out for Rinoa to sit down on and stated, "Madame, your chair."

He was in another world, doesn't mean his manners were shot.

Rinoa smiled as she took the chair Irvine pulled out for her. Ever the gentleman. "Thanks."

He then tucked her chair into the table and replied, "I'll be right back." Irvine then headed to the line getting some food for himself. He quickly returned back to the table and sat down on the chair across from her. He then asked, "So...I gotta ask, how did you get to be a black mage and stuff...mean is there like a test or something?" It was bothering him how she got that title with her clothes.

Rinoa smoothed her hair back behind her ears before she started to eat. Chewing thoughtfully, she took a moment to answer. "No. But black magic is all I can cast now, and I was told that meant I'm a black mage. I think it sounds cool. Better than what I was before."

Irvine nodded and replied, "Yea, the whole S word...put a lot of people high strung." He leaned back slightly and replied, "Huh, wonder what that makes me?" He then leaned in and asked, "Say they have worldwide sex object as a title?"

Rinoa giggled. "I don't think so. Do you have your gun with you? I don't think they have them here."
