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

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."

[ladiesmanirvine.livejournal.com]

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?"

[livelyangel.livejournal.com]

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

[ladiesmanirvine.livejournal.com]

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.

[livelyangel.livejournal.com]

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

[ladiesmanirvine.livejournal.com]

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))

[livelyangel.livejournal.com]

"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!]

[ladiesmanirvine.livejournal.com]

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.

[livelyangel.livejournal.com]

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

[ladiesmanirvine.livejournal.com]

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.

[livelyangel.livejournal.com]

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."

[ladiesmanirvine.livejournal.com]

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?"

[livelyangel.livejournal.com]

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

[ladiesmanirvine.livejournal.com]

Irvine snapped his fingers and replied, "Ah...that's not fair." He then heard Rinoa's question and replied, "Yea, I have my gun here, never had a chance to test it out yet...and I don't plan on doing it in here." He then was curious and asked, "Wait no guns?" He then simply thought, "That ain't good..."

[livelyangel.livejournal.com]

"Well, then, I guess you're still a sharpshooter." Rinoa tilted her head as a thought struck her. "But if they don't have guns, they probably don't have ammo either. You're gonna run out pretty fast!"

[ladiesmanirvine.livejournal.com]

Irvine grinned and replied, "Sharpshooter, huh? Sounds good to me." He then listened to Rinoa's thought and replied with a chuckle, "Well then, I guess I'm just gonna have to make every shot count then, won't I?"

[livelyangel.livejournal.com]

Rinoa grinned. "Yep."

[ladiesmanirvine.livejournal.com]

Irvine then finished off what was left on his plate and added, "Though...it would be nice to have something else to shoot with, when my gun does run out of ammo. Guess then next best thing would be..." His mind trailed trying figure out what would be the best solution for his weapon shortage.

[livelyangel.livejournal.com]

"Bow and arrow?" Rinoa suggested. She was eating more slowly than Irvine, and still hadn't finished. She'd seen bows in the weapon shops, and the thought of Irvine wielding one amused her.

[ladiesmanirvine.livejournal.com]

He thought for a second and sighed then replied, "Yea...guess a bow and arrow would be a good idea...hmmm." He then looked at Rinoa and stated, "Buying them might be pretty hard, seeing all I have is the gil from our world...and even then it isn't that much."

[livelyangel.livejournal.com]

"The currency's the same here," said Rinoa brightly. "So you can use whatever you've got. And if you're short on cash, Garden's got plenty of funds."

[ladiesmanirvine.livejournal.com]

"Huh?" replied Irvine, "Well...I guess that solves that problem." He scratched his head and added, "Now to find a place with a bow and arrow."

[livelyangel.livejournal.com]

Rinoa finished her meal before replying. "I'll take you to a weapons store when we get to Treno, how about that?"

[ladiesmanirvine.livejournal.com]

Irvine grinned and replied, "Alright, thanks Rin I owe you." He then scratched his head and replied, "So where to now?"

[livelyangel.livejournal.com]

Rinoa stood up and brushed a few crumbs from her clothes. She looked down at Irvine, a teasing look in her eyes. "Do you want me to lead you around by the hand, is that it?"
