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

Rinoa was curious. "What is it?"

[ladiesmanirvine.livejournal.com]

Irvine then turned to her and asked, "The truth...you ever think we'll be able to go back home?" Irvine then shook his head and stated, "I know it seems silly, I mean for me as long as you guys are here and are safe, I'm comfortable anywhere...it's just...I don't know."

He then laughed as he stated, "I bet you had the same questions running through your head when you came into this world too huh?"

[livelyangel.livejournal.com]

"The truth... The truth is, I don't know." Rinoa paused for a long moment. She hadn't been quite sure how she felt until she spoke. "But I believe in Squall, and you guys, and everyone who's working hard to find a way... There's gotta be a way, there just has to be."

She smiled. "Yeah. I don't know, this world isn't so bad. If Quistis and Zell were here too, I think I'd be happy to stay. Oh, and Angelo of course. In a way, I feel lighter here. Nobody else knows what I am... nobody thinks I'm dangerous."

[ladiesmanirvine.livejournal.com]

Irvine grinned and replied, "You're right...where there's a will, there's a way...heh, thanks Rin."

When Rinoa said her being dangerous, he quickly turned to her and replied, "You never were dangerous Rin, least to us...no matter what."

[livelyangel.livejournal.com]

"Well, not here," Rinoa answered cheerfully, brushing off the comment. "I'm a black mage now. Pretty cool, huh? I even bought the outfit."

[ladiesmanirvine.livejournal.com]

Irvine grinned and replied, "Black Mage huh?" He then looked at her, tilting his head to the left and to the right, almost like examining her. He then looked at her with a smirk and shaking his head and said, "I dunno, I don't see it..."

[livelyangel.livejournal.com]

"Hmph!" Rinoa placed her hands on her hips. "I'll put on my pointy hat and cast Blizzard on you, how about that?"

[ladiesmanirvine.livejournal.com]

"Pointy...hat?" Irvine blinked for a minute trying to picture Rinoa in a pointy hat. Then a big wide grin came on his face, as he began to laugh a little. He managed to say through it, "Sorry, sorry, it's just you in a pointy hat is just..." Irvine then chuckled a little more, still picturing it.

[livelyangel.livejournal.com]

"Ohh... you don't think I'd look good in a hat?"

[ladiesmanirvine.livejournal.com]

"Hmm, good question...let's find out." Irvine then took off his own hat and plopped it on Rinoa's head, then leaned back to look at it and replied, "Yea, you look good with a hat...just a pointy hat is something I still can't see you or anyone in." Irvine then got a mental image of Squall with a pointy hat...and his mind went into hysterics.

[livelyangel.livejournal.com]

Rinoa laughed as she lifted her hands to adjust the cowboy hat. "You'll see."

[ladiesmanirvine.livejournal.com]

Irvine grinned and replied, "I bet you will. Still a pointy hat? What's next you're wearing some huge robes and something?"

[livelyangel.livejournal.com]

Rinoa stuck her tongue out at him. "Yes, actually! And they're not huge, they're very flattering. I think so anyway."

[ladiesmanirvine.livejournal.com]

Irvine blinked for a moment then simply asked, "You're kidding right?"

[livelyangel.livejournal.com]

"No, I'm not!" She took off Irvine's hat and gave it back to him. "Come over to my room and I'll prove it right now."

Rinoa was quite keen to put on her new robes, actually, since she hadn't had a chance since she first bought them.

[ladiesmanirvine.livejournal.com]

Irvine put the hat back on and adjusted it properly, before looking at Rinoa and saying with a smirk on his face, "Alright, lets go...cause I need to see this to believe it."

[livelyangel.livejournal.com]

"I'll show you, Irvine Kinneas."

Rinoa led him over to the girls' dorms and stopped outside her room. "Wait outside," she instructed him as she unlocked the door. "And no peeking!"

With that, she stepped inside and closed the door to get changed.

[ladiesmanirvine.livejournal.com]

Irvine followed Rinoa to the girl's dorm. When Rinoa instructed him what to do, Irvine was shocked as he said, "Now what makes you think I would do that."

He then leaned outside Rinoa's room, looking around the dorm halls and just gave a simple grin of all the memories here.

[livelyangel.livejournal.com]

Rinoa was teasing him, of course. She didn't seriously think Irvine would try to sneak a peek. Besides, he knew that Squall would kill him if he did.

She changed quickly, pausing in front of the mirror to adjust her hat. She'd chosen the prettiest robes she could find: indigo and pink with a wide-brimmed hat to match. Rinoa turned to face the door and struck her best spell-casting pose - not that she was actually going to cast any magic.

"You can come in now!"

[ooc: Imagine something like this. (http://membres.lycos.fr/daganas3/daganas2/image%20ffX-2/Yuna_Black-Mage.jpg)]

[ladiesmanirvine.livejournal.com]

Irvine heard her from behind the door and replied, "Alright, time to see it." He opened the door and saw Rinoa standing there, striking a pose, pointy hat and all.

He couldn't help but laugh.

Irvine couldn't control yourself as he asked, "Oh my god...w-wow..." Irvine managed to remain his composure and said, "Like I said, I had to see this to believe it."

[livelyangel.livejournal.com]

"What?" Rinoa pouted. "Don't you like it?"

[ladiesmanirvine.livejournal.com]

Irvine shook his hands and replied, "No, no, no...just wasn't expecting is all." He then looked at her and replied, "Now that I see...it looks good on you."

He then asked, "What does Squall think of it?" He would ask what Selphie thought of it, but he kinda had a feeling what she would say.

[livelyangel.livejournal.com]

"Thanks!" She grinned at him, and even did a twirl.

"He likes it. I really need a staff or a racket to go with it though..."

[ladiesmanirvine.livejournal.com]

He chuckled as he said, "You really want to complete the look you have huh?" Irvine then thought for a second and replied, "Why not take Squall or Selphie to help shop for one? I'm sure they'd love to go with you...well Squall not so much, but the way I see it, he needs more R and R."

[livelyangel.livejournal.com]

"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."
