Allons-y!

Nate-Theater Student-Studying Abroad

[pkmnstaryancy]

Yancy felt her face heat up. She was use to being complimented and praise but from Nate it was always slightly different. She wanted to impress him and have him like her.

"Oh I don’t know about that. I’m still young. Got a ways to go before I reach the level I want to be on. And if you’re good I’m sure there is a chance. We’re both still learning."

Yancy paused for a moment. “If you need any advice though I’m always happy to help.”

[chro-nate]

Was it his imagination or was her face a little more flushed than before? Did he say something embarrassing?

Well, it was probably nothing.

"Haha, wow, the friends I've been running into sure are comprising themselves into one hell of a support system. Knowing that, I'll get there eventually- and you will, too," he nodded his head in approval.

"But I guess that makes us rivals in a sense! I can't slip up now and fall behind if I want to reach my goals. I expect no less from you, either, Yancy," he teased. He was certainly one to talk, being the junior in this situation. Oh well, a little friendly "motivation" wouldn't do any harm.

[pkmnstaryancy]

"Wow," Yancy said. It was almost like a dream come true. Not only was Nate here but they had the same major. She took this as a good sign. 

"I didn’t think you’d go for theater. Do you plan on becoming an actor or something? Maybe we’ll end up working together."

[chro-nate]

"Something like that," he grinned and shrugged.

"I'd pick working with people over hitting the books and working behind a desk any day- and working with a seasoned idol like yourself? I have a lot to learn before that happens," he said placing his hands into his pockets.

He was certainly a people-person and would rather avoid the tedium of academic subjects, but he was still green in the industry. Sure there may have been a film here and there but it was going to take considerable effort to become more than a child-star.

[pkmnstaryancy]

"Of course. I am taking a small break from my work as an idol to attend. Learn a bit more. But I did attend CUA as well before! Back when I was eighteen for like a year."

Yancy was pleased to hear they had attended the same college before. “What are you majoring in? Mine’s pretty obvious.”

[chro-nate]

"Oh, yeah? I guess we've been heading similar places without knowing it. Funny, huh?" he chuckled a bit.

"But if it's so obvious, I'll just assume we have the same major, too. Theater, right?"

[chro-nate]

"Well seeing you here has already made it much better," Yancy confessed. She then raised an eyebrow. "A ghost? Well I'm sure if some ghost comes after me, you'll defend me right?"

He raised an eyebrow at her statement. 

"That so? Glad to hear it then! I guess that’s what a familiar face can do for someone.

"Fortunately, I don’t think that’ll be necessary… Someone from the other dorm says he did a real number on the thing.  But you can count on me if anything goes wrong!" he gave her a thumbs up.

[pkmnstaryancy]

"Well I’m glad to here that. I don’t particularly like ghosts," Yancy said. She nodded. "Of course. It’s been a while since we last talked. I’m glad college can bring people back together."

Yancy looked down at her feet and then back up. “Did you transfer from another college?”

[chro-nate]

"Yeah, neither does Mei," he chuckled. "I get what you mean. Meeting new people is fun and all but you can get downright nostalgic, and then..." he shook his head and smiled. "But there's nothing like that to worry about!

"But no, I'm just studying abroad from good ol' CUA. What about you? Staying here?"

[lonhugh]

[text] … No you still owe me lunch >:(

(no way she called you a dork if anything you liar.)

[chro-nate]

[text] A~ah so fickle. Alright, alright just be ready later

(she called the both of us dorks, which technically means she called you a dork.)

[chro-nate]

lonhugh replied to your post:[text] FYI I am A-OKAY thanks for asking. No ghost attack here. You totally owe me lunch now, and it better be somewhere nice.

[text] How DARE you sir, how dare you I am offended.

[text] Ah, I guess you're too offended for lunch then? Shame.

(By the way Mei called you a dork.)

[chro-nate]

[text] FYI I am A-OKAY thanks for asking. No ghost attack here. You totally owe me lunch now, and it better be somewhere nice.

[text] Ahh, there was never any real reason to worry, was there? I believe in you :-) But alright, alright if it'll keep you from your "rage" stuff.

[chro-nate]

"Yup, Yancy." he said with a grin. There was a moment of silence. "So what's up?" he asked trying to start a new conversation. "Other than the roof, sky, sun, moon." he listed off.

"Yancy! Well that makes sense you guys give off a similar... air. In a way. Or maybe I'm just grasping for straws here.

"As for me, well, not much as of late. Clubs, running into a lot of people from back home- small world, huh? And, well, meeting a bunch of new folk. So I was off to kick back and take a break for a bit, maybe grab lunch with a friend later. What about you?"

[chro-nate]

"Well seeing you here has already made it much better," Yancy confessed. She then raised an eyebrow. "A ghost? Well I'm sure if some ghost comes after me, you'll defend me right?"

He raised an eyebrow at her statement. 

"That so? Glad to hear it then! I guess that's what a familiar face can do for someone.

"Fortunately, I don't think that'll be necessary... Someone from the other dorm says he did a real number on the thing.  But you can count on me if anything goes wrong!" he gave her a thumbs up.

[chro-nate]

He shook Nate's hand eagirly. "Cool I've heard so much about you from my friend~" he chirped and smiled brightly at the brunette.

He laughed, giving his hand a firm shake in return.

"Ah- have you really now? I wish I could say the same but I'm at a bit of a loss here... Is this friend of yours someone I know?" He slipped his hands into his pockets.

[chro-nate]

"I didn't know you'd be attending LCU as well." Yancy smiled at him, happy to see her friend after so long. "I've only been here for a few days as well. I've been okay."

"Yeah, what a coincidence! Well, not a bad one though- it's good to see you again!" he flashed her a smiled.

"Well, knowing a bunch of our friends will be here will definitely make it better than 'okay' soon enough. You know, if your classes don't bore you to death. Or maybe the alleged ghost on campus will get you first--"

[chro-nate]

"Nate! It's been far too long. How have you been?" Yancy pulled the boy into a hug.

Nate perked up upon hearing a familiar voice. He caught the pink haired girl in front of him and opened his mouth to respond only to find himself in a hug before he could begin his sentence.

"He-- W-woah! Hello to you, too, Yancy!" he said, giving her a brief hug back. "I'm well, just getting accustomed to things around here... But fancy seeing you here! How are you doing?"

[chro-nate]

"Hey, so we're room mates? Nice to meet you, I'm Curtis!" the blond boy beamed at the brunette in front of him.

"Ah- so you're the roomie? Huh, you look... kind of familiar. Anyways, nice to meet you, Curtis, the name's Nate!" he grinned and held out his hand towards the other. 

[inthemeiofthemoon]

My Nate and Hugh senses are tingling

[inthemeiofthemoon]

"I-it’s not that I didn’t have faith in you!!" she stammered. Nate, in particular, always had this way of getting to Mei that was all types of flustering and annoying. But him and Hugh were truly her support system, after all. After all they’ve been through she’d hope they felt the same.

But she can never get mad at him. Ever. Nate had those movie star charms, and he was in the acting program after all….

"It is exciting!" she smiled "I’m glad you’re enjoying it so far!" 

She got closer to him, saying in a whisper

"You’re still an idiot though, worrying me like that, and Hugh is going to hear it later too…"

[chro-nate]

"I know, I know..." he couldn't help but chuckle at how flustered Mei got as a result of his teasing. It was funny and endearing all in the same with how she was genuinely concerned about the two making it into the same school. It didn't seem like it was such a big deal, but he probably would have received an even bigger earful had he not seized the opportunity for the three of them to study in the same place for a while.

"But, hey, now you can enjoy yourself without fussing over us, right?"

Well, not entirely right. He tensed up and squeezed his eyes shut as she moved closer, anticipating another scolding. However, he relaxed upon finding out it wasn't nearly as bad as he thought it would be.

"Sorry, sorry, really!" he scratched the back of his head nervously. "Just take it easy on poor Hugh, yeah?"

[inthemeiofthemoon]

My Nate and Hugh senses are tingling

[inthemeiofthemoon]

"I’m fine! I was really worried you guy didn’t get in the program too…no calls or anything you know…” she sighed, and blushed a little.

Hugh and Nate always made her like this. It was confusing for her because she always cared for them so much, but she always felt like she nagged them. 

"H-how…are you, Nate?" 

[chro-nate]

"Haha, is your faith in us really that low? I'm hurt! But it's like I said, we're all here. No worries."

He placed a hand on her head and ruffled her hair a bit.

"I'm feeling great! The new place has really got me pumped. There are so many types of people and trainers here and there's a lot of energy because of it. It's really exciting, don't you think?"

[inthemeiofthemoon]

My Nate and Hugh senses are tingling

"You can hang out together, and talk to each other….but you have yet to ask "Hey, where’s Mei?"

You guys are such……savages to a poor girls heart, while I was worried about you two!”

Mei was obviously being over dramatic

[chro-nate]

"Ah, hey, hey! No need to get worked up now that we've all found each other, right? We're all in one piece (some strange rumors aside...)" 

He held his hands in front of him to gesture for Mei to calm down, an apologetic smile plastered on his face.

"How is our Mei doing then, huh?"

[chro-nate]

And how can I be certain that you’re not haunted, huh? Exposure, Hugh, exposure.

[lonhugh]

You’re a terrible friend if you really think I’ve been exposed, do I look exposed to you?

[chro-nate]

Well, no, but would it really be obvious if you were? Thinking you were fine is exactly what some spectre would want me to believe!
