1st Shell - Open like a lemonade stand in summer
Who: Xion and open to errybody
Where: Xion's room/hallway, then around Pisces and Virgo wards
Summary: Xion arrives in Hinoto-Ri and engages in standard new arrival procedures, by which we mean gaining her bearings and getting supplies. And then derps about puppies.
Warnings: Probably nothing. Except puppies.
Xion stood before the door to the room she'd been assigned, holding her key and... just thinking. The only other place she'd had a room of her own was Disney Castle, and now this. She hasn't seen any sign of her friends thus far, though she isn't sure if it's too much to expect they'd come here. It was all strange and happening so fast and while a part of her was saying it was the right thing to do she still felt... buffeted around, moved faster than she was ready for.
There was just something so... permanent about getting a room of her own. She can leave if she wants but she still... It's ridiculous. She should just go in already. She's been standing there long enough it probably looks strange to people nearby. And yet still she's hesitating.
---
Later, Xion took to the streets, keeping a wary eye all around. She's not... actively hiding. She doesn't even have her coat on, since it would probably stick out. But she's still being careful. It sounded like this city was the kind of place where you would want to be anyway.
In the Virgo ward, she headed to a grocery store her way through food, and those who are more experienced might note that what she's collecting are foods that require little to no cooking. She also stopped at a more general convenience store, looking for other supplies she might need. It's strange for her, shopping like this - she's used to getting all of their supplies from a Moogle, usually, and it was still no more than they would really need for camping for a few days. How did one shop for furniture, or that sort of thing, given how bare her apartment was?
As she was walking back towards Pisces, though, she spotted something that made her stop, walk over and almost press her nose against the glass - it was a pet store, with some of their adoptable dogs in a display in the window.
It's probably the first time she's smiled since she arrived, but she can't help it. They're so cute-!

Pisces Hallway
[Meetra had happened to be walking downstairs when she saw a young girl in what looked like a robe just staring at an apartment door. Being a Jedi, naturally, she had to stop and at least investigate.]
no subject
Oh. No I'm fine. I think this is my room. I just haven't gone in yet.
[It's probably really obvious she just got here isn't it...]
no subject
[She smiled slightly at the awkward gesture. This had probably been a bad time to interrupt.]
no subject
[It's fine really. Xion is just an awkward person in general.]
Back home my friends and I... we move around a lot. I'm not used to staying in the same place for a while. [And it looks like she - they? - might be, now...
Not to mention she misses said friends, already.]
no subject
[A succession of spaceships, really, but the Ebon Hawk was the only one that even remotely counted as home.]
no subject
[Was that like a gummi ship?]
That must've been really different.
no subject
no subject
Yeah. I... actually move around a lot too, back home. It's going to be different, here.
no subject
...
I'm Meetra. I live a couple floors up, in 9-06.
no subject
[She hesitates for a moment. She... can talk to people here, can't she? Being found wasn't... as big a deal here, right? She continues.]
It's nice to meet you. Have... you been here a while?
