[Why, exactly, is there a sandstorm brewing down this alleyway? ...Must be Tuesday. In any case, two figures well-covered in desert robes and wrappings are making their way slowly out of it, fighting against the wind, the smaller one held closely to the larger's side.

As from their perspective the barrage lets up, dumping a puddle of sand around the street, the larger one looks up and drops his hood. Piercing inhuman yellow eyes, harsh narrow features-
Oh. Hello, Kurt.

He looks down towards his smaller companion - his daughter, in fact, though she seems to have grown at least a little bit since she was last seen - and smiles...]

... well. Looks like we're back.

((Been a while, so trying to kick some life into these two with a bit of an update.))

I wish!

[sigh.]

It's some kind of costume for... I dunno, a horror movie person, or something. Every so often I get attacked by monsters out of nowhere, and I can't use my sword, or even magic. All I have is a lead pipe and a gun.

[heartofthesands.livejournal.com]

Oh, no! [Layla's face falls.]

[skybright]

But it's not as bad as it could be, I guess. There's plenty of safe areas, including my apartment, and they only really seem to show up around me, so I don't have to worry about them wandering around attacking other people.

[agrabah-weapon.livejournal.com]

All the same - [Kurt sighs.] I wish I had any way to assist you, here.

[skybright]

[she shakes her head with a little smile.]

It's just good to know there're more people around I can count on. Not that I can't count on most of the people here to be nice and lend a hand, but I don't know everyone like I do my friends.

[which you both count as technically!]

[agrabah-weapon.livejournal.com]

[A nod.] I'll wish you the best in this - situation, then.

[skybright]

Thanks! D'you guys need any help getting re-settled?

[agrabah-weapon.livejournal.com]

Has anything changed that we should know about?

[skybright]

I don't think so...

[Sora thinks on it for a moment, then shakes her head.]

Nothing big. There was a spell that lasted like a week, with a different type of fashion every day a while ago, and Halloween decorations are popping up now... but that's about it.

[heartofthesands.livejournal.com]

Aw, that one sounded fun... [Layla looks at her current outfit with a bit of a pout.]

[skybright]

You can still go shopping or something! It wasn't really that great. It sounds fun, but it's not really that fun when you're stuck in a big heavy dress, or a corset that feels way too tight.

Or both.

[heartofthesands.livejournal.com]

...Ow. Okay.

[skybright]

Some of them were sort of okay, I guess... not really my thing.

[heartofthesands.livejournal.com]

[Giggle-] I think I'll stick to the shops.

[skybright]

Sounds like a good idea.

1/2

[heartofthesands.livejournal.com]

..Aw, now I really want to look around!

[agrabah-weapon.livejournal.com]

[A smile-] We'll have a chance, I'm sure. There's a lot we'll need to sort out.

[skybright]

Just remember I'm willing to help if you end up needing it.

[agrabah-weapon.livejournal.com]

And it's greatly appreciated. [He nods.]

[skybright]

Hmmm. Should I go and let you guys head for home now?

[agrabah-weapon.livejournal.com]

[Another nod.] We'd best be going. Although I think that we'll likely be around again in the very near future.

[skybright]

Great! See you guys, in that case.

[she moves to give them both a quick hug, but freezes in place when the radio in her pocket starts emitting static.]

[heartofthesands.livejournal.com]

[And as Layla reaches out to return it, she stops as she sees Sora do so-]

Huh? What's wrong? I'm not going to get sand on you...

[skybright]

Y-You need to go. Now. Please?

[the static is getting louder now, more noticeable. Sora drops her arm to her side and summons her pipe.]

[agrabah-weapon.livejournal.com]

Is this related to those monsters you were referring to? If so - [Kurt turns to Layla-] I'll meet you at the ice cream parlour. I assume it's where it was before.

[She bites her lip, nods, and darts off with a wave.]
