Welcome to Gaia! ::

Risika looked Japi over for a second, taking a bite of her hotdog. She chewed for a moment then swallowed.

" Really? Well , you could always tag along with me." She smiled as she turned to search for a soda. " I kinda know this place religiously, so I don't really mind, plus it'd be more fun to have someone to go around with."

Unable to do anything but stand their like a deer infront of headlights, Risika took the hug stiffly, luckily pulling her hotdog out of the way before it got smashed upon them both. She really hadn't expected the hug and it ended so fast she was really unable to react back.

Risika blinked a few times, gathering herself up as Japi turned to get her soda. This would deffiantly be interesting. She quickly scarfed the rest of her hot dog down, chewing as best she could with a full mouth. She brushed her hands free of crumbs then fished her hands into the pockets of her jacket, searching for the map she could have sworn she put in there earlier.

After a few moments of whispered curses, and pockets being searched at least three times over, she finally pulled out a wrinkled mess of a map along with a wadded up piece of stationary. She wasn't very good at keeping things in order so this wasn't anything new to her. Before she even tried to make sense of the wads of paper, her right hand absentmindedly groped her inside jacket pocket, subconsciously reminding herself that her relic was fine and dandy.

She opened the map up and looked it over, her eyes darting over to the piece of stationary from time to time.

" Well," she finally began, " we could go to the opening ceremonies. Basically thats where everyone is meeting up first, kind of like a check in I guess." She shrugged then turned her gaze toward Japi, smiling as she did so and handed her the wrinkled piece of stationary. " See anything you'd liek to check out?"

Risika smirked and nodded in agreement. " We did indeed miss the opening speech, I just figured that there would still be people there. However, going somewhere else more eventful, sounds better." Her hand again groped at her inside jacket pocket at the mention of relics. Over protective? Nah.

" Well I already have my relic, so no need to stop there. We could always head out to play some games?" She offered the idea with a smile.

Risika nodded, smirking at Japi's curiousity being kept in check. She turned and started to walk toward the side entrance of the building.

" Well we might aswell head out now, we don't want to miss everything because we were outside eating." She smirked and glanced back at Japi, making sure she was following.
