A Day In Another World

[lucetimods]

Who: Anyone in the event
What: For 21 hours, pairs of characters will get to visit one of their worlds
When: Sunday morning, from 1AM to 10PM (in Luceti time)
Where: Somewhere else!
Summary: It's described here. One person will play the host, another the visitor.
Rating: Keep it clean, kids! Move your icky business to appointments posts.

Quick run of things to keep in mind:

-The pair of characters will return to the host's canon point. The host will temporarily return to their physical state at whatever their canon point was.
-Anything they do will be undone after they return to Luceti.
-If they are going to be part of the Alternate Universe aspect of the event, they won't remember the visit until after they have returned to normal.

Disclaimer: Visiting canon worlds will mean having to NPC characters that may already exist in Luceti, but will have no memory or knowledge of it. Be respectful and in character and bear in mind that these do not reflect upon characters in game!

ALSO! Threading out the visit is 100% optional. You're entirely free and encouraged to discuss and handwave what goes on if you want. But if you would like to thread it out, you may do so here.

(This post is forward dated by one day.)

Mmm. And because of the people within it, the people I've met, I've gotten much stronger.

[Maybe just strong enough]

[markofthebrave]

[She gives him a sidelong glance.

Stronger, huh?

The light turns green and the crowd around them starts walking forward on the crosswalk.

She's not really sure how to interact with that so...]

It's weird seeing your hair this color again.

[generalflirt]

Oh, it must be?

[he runs the hand not holding hers in his pants, pulling on a few strands. And they start to walk across the street. Or well, he leads her to do that]

[markofthebrave]

Yeah. [A small smile.] You look younger.

[Younger than she'd thought he'd look, actually.]

[generalflirt]

Well I am a year younger... [...Actually it's much more than a year. But he doesn't connect that.] I guess closer to two.

[markofthebrave]

[That... doesn't quite add up, although it should.

Hmm.]

How old are you?

[generalflirt]

I'm seventeen in Luceti, remember? You were at my seventeenth birthday. I'm sixteen now.

[...Though he did say this was the end of winter not thirty minutes ago and his birthday was/is in Early summer]

[markofthebrave]

I remember your party. [Vaguely. A lot has happened since then. But... shouldn't it be coming up now? Hmm.]

Did you and Mikado go by your real birthday date or did you work the time differences?

[generalflirt]

Huh, the real one, of course?

[markofthebrave]

Then maybe you're older? [This time thing was confusing to her.]

I mean, my real birthday is in January, but Sokka worked it out that the day my birthday actually falls at home is in July in Luceti.

[Crosswalk walked, she's barely self-conscious about their hands anymore - surely they must be nearly there.]

[generalflirt]

...Waaaah? How does that even make sense?

[They are. Which is why he automatically is pulling her down his side street. hello low income housing. It's noticably less pretty here]

[markofthebrave]

You'd have to ask Sokka. He explained it after my surprise party. There were charts involved.

[The first thing she notices is that it's quieter down this street, which is a blessing for her ears. The second thing she notices is... the way it looks run down. It's not the quality of the buildings which bother her... it's the fact that they could look clean and neat still, but it seems as though some of the residents don't care to keep them up.]

I think it comes down to what month it was when I was taken from home.

[generalflirt]

Huh... so. That's not that Luceti's timeline is different, but that the length of time that passes is?

[He closes his eyes as they continue, because he knows where they are by heart now. Besides, the streets are way less crowded. He's trying to math this out]

[markofthebrave]

That sounds about right. I mean, if your birthday is in March and you're taken from your home in February, but in Luceti it's July... you'd still be a year older in August, right?

[...are his eyes closed?]

[generalflirt]

Yeah... that makes sense. [They are. Okay. so it's February here, his birthday is in June... which means he turned seventeen-

His eyes shoot open, surprised]

...Holy shit, I turned eighteen in December.

[markofthebrave]

[That startles her.]

What, really?

[His real birthday and she didn't know it. D8

...then again, December was a weird month for them anyway so... probably better than she didn't.

Wow, he's just as old as Sokka.]

[generalflirt]

Yeah, really - mine's in June and it's February here... so. Six months early.

[He's eighteen. ...Were he at home, he would be very close to graduating. No, actually, he would... be there. Or right at it. One step closer to his coming of age]

Wow.

[markofthebrave]

[...eighteen is one of those important ages for Earth people, isn't it. Man, she should say something.]

Happy birthday?

[...crap, did she just spoil it for him?]

[generalflirt]

[He stops. half to look incredulously at her, half because this is his apartment complex.]

[markofthebrave]

Well, you just realized it, right? So it sort of counts.

[generalflirt]

...Really?

[He shakes his (blonde) head and now leads her (still holding her hand) up to the front door of the complex]

[markofthebrave]

Sure!

[So this is it, huh? Unfortunately, she's a bit more focused on the birthday conundrum to realize that their journey has (temporarily) ended and she can safely reclaim her hand.]

We should celebrate.

[generalflirt]

[Inside and... to the stairs! They have a few floors to go up still]

Come again?

[markofthebrave]

We should celebrate your birthday. [She grows more enthusiastic about the idea... until confronted with the practical difficulties.]

I mean... I can't exactly get you a present here. And I don't know where anything here is...

[But she pauses on the stairs, and since they're still holding hands, forces him to pause too as she looks at him earnestly.]

But whatever you want to do most today, we should do it.

[She doesn't know if it's even possible for him, but if there's any way that she can help, she'd like to try.]

1/??
