A Day In Another World

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.)

[She tosses and turns on the "bed" to get more comfortable and then...]

Good night.

Sweet dreams, Katara.

[And then he mutters "thank you"]

[She doesn't hear the muttered 'thank you' - instead the oppressive fear that they might not make it back to Luceti, the fear that she's managed to keep at bay all day, returns in the darkness. She shuts her eyes tightly and... finds herself missing the comfort of holding his hand, the message that at least I'm not alone.]

...see you tomorrow, I guess.

[...Hm. He's closed his eyes but can't get to sleep. Part of it is, of course, that this floor is in no way comfortable. But the other is that... well, the girl he loves is sitting beside him. Also he didn't get the kiss. Also she isn't in the bed. And "I guess?" that's just anti climatic. He grunts, and then rolls a half roll closer to her, pulling along his pillow. In the darkness, he reaches out a hand for her her. Should it go around her...? No, too much.]

Katara.

[...well, at least the blanket is serving as a fit chaperone. The chances are good that unless Masaomi deliberately stretches his hand over it, she won't even see that he's reaching for her. Despite the awkwardness and her apprehension, with her eyes closed and her body stilled, Katara had started to relax to near the point of sleep. All the same, when he says her name, she comes fully awake again, opening her eyes.]

Yes?

[... How does he even put this? how can he even put this? He considers a moment, before holding out the hand more pronounced like]

Take my hand?

[She props herself up on one elbow to get a better look at him in the darkness.]

What? Why?

[Not Sure If Appropriate.

...despite the. automatic impulse. to say yes and move her hand there immediately.]

Because... this day's been a day only for us, and no matter what happens while we're sleeping, I think we should be together for that.

[It just seems right.]

[She eyes his hand and the distance between them while she turns over his reasons. It's not... immediately objectionable, but it's not really necessary either. While she's still thinking about it, her mouth speaks without her permission.]

It doesn't look like it'll be very comfortable.

[Since they'd be having to hold out their arms at nearly ninety degrees and all.]

[...Rolling a little closer]

There.

[Still eyeing that hand...]

I don't really think it'll make much difference. They'll either take both of us back... or they won't.

[...Girl, Girl really.]

Like that matters... [Sigh] Come on, please.

[She stares at that hand like it's about to bite her, really, despite her wishing only a moment ago that she could take it, the offer - request? - leaves her mired in responsibility and implications and uncertainty.]

...I'm just not sure that it's a good idea.

[She shifts to lay back down, more quietly:] I'm sorry.

Ah. It's alright.

[He doesn't move from his new closer position laying on the blanket though. He also didn't take off any of his day clothes, so he's still in them. Which... probably is a little silly to sleep in, but adjusting his pillow, he lays back too]

[...

She doesn't say anything about how much closer he is now, less than an arm's length away. She notes it. But she doesn't say anything.

Her gaze traces over what she can distinguish of his profile in the dark. And she smiles, a little sadly, the apprehension of 'what could happen' driven out by concerns closer to home.]

Thank you. For today, I mean.

Aaah, no, that was my pleasure, Katara.

[To show her around. To spend time with her. To reveal secrets to her. To make her understand, just a little. He glances over at her in the dark]

[Huff. Sigh. She reaches over to flick a corner of the blanket on him in punishment.]

Just say 'you're welcome.'

[Fine, then you know what? He's reaching out and taking that hand which just flicked him in his own. And sincerely-]

You're welcome.

[Gah, trapped! She flexes her hand a little in his, tugging at his grip lightly.]

Masaomi...

[But. It feels good - it feels secure - it feels comfortable to have him holding her hand again.]

[He just keeps his grip steady. He's not putting too much pressure, but he adjusts a little- there, better position.]

It's okay.

[Her heart accelerates a little. Is it? Is it really okay? She can't help but feel that she should reinforce her word, but... she hadn't really said 'no' before. Just. Hmm.]

...just for a little while.

[She'll compromise. Because she can't deny... it does feel good.]

Ah, sure... just a little while.

[And he closes his eyes, letting the feeling he has right now overwhelm him. Because right now he is holding hands with the girl he loves in a room which... well, it no longer feels like "home," but now that he's resolved that bit, it relaxes him]

[After another hesitant glance at him, Katara shifts around to grow more comfortable and... closes her eyes.

Once closed, she is extra conscious of their hands touching and it's... a bit disconcerting how aware she is. She feels that familiar surge of guilt and responsibility and... eventually loosens her grip on his hand and closes her eyes again.]

Good night, Masaomi.

[...and maybe the strangest thing about this was that it didn't feel half as strange as it should.]

[Masaomi, meanwhile, doesn't loosen his grip significantly until he starts to fall asleep. Sure, when she gets more slack he doesn't push it but he wants to keep his hand in or at least on hers. But in response to her comment he once more says "sweet dreams"

...But to be honest, he's already falling asleep by then]

[And at some point during the night, their hands will no doubt separate. But for now, they fall asleep with their hands loosely tangled.]
