The Best Thing About Not Being Home is Missing You

[preuxchevalier]

There are people back home that your character hates. Or maybe they love them, but they're terrible people/influences. Here's your chance to talk or play out that special someone turning up in the Meadous. Are they so far out of their element that they're now defanged tigers? Do they lead right in with their wicked ways? What is your character's CR even going to think when they meet this person?
 

Post with your own character or the person they most/least want to see again who's a bad thing for them. Feel free to play out encounters in the snow between this character and your regular character's CR, or talk it out with if you're not sure you've got the voice down.
 

Fun for all ages! And by fun, we mean misery!

Depending on what Karkat knows about Organization XIII - regardless of how he might know about them - the coat that this particular arrival to the Meadous is wearing is probably a little familiar. And if it isn't, well... people who willingly go about in black from head to toe aren't often the sort of people who mean well.

But since politeness will do best in a strange new place, he offers a nod to Karkat as he passes. It is, after all, the least he can do.

gonna just handwave that he never played either game

Yeah, it's familiar. It's that thing Riku always used to wear all that time. "Hey," Karkat says. "Do you know Riku or something? Because that's totally his old coat."

works for me

Ah. So Riku is present. He'd thought he might be, but having confirmation of that is certainly beneficial. It means he knows something of the nature any resistance to his presence will have, just as it means that he'll need to be somewhat more careful about seeing to that which will need to be seen to.

"I am... familiar with him, yes," he offers after a moment of consideration. "However, it may be somewhat inaccurate to say that I 'know' him."

"Well you look like you at least shop at the same place," Karkat says. "Either that or you stole shit from his closet. So who the hell are you anyway?"

[letxequalnull]

Shopping is a bit inaccurate. Bu Xemnas knows very well that Riku has... borrowed the coat of the Organization on occasion and as long as there aren't any terribly inconvenient questions being asked the details are unimportant.

"You may call me Xemnas."
