Noah Callahan / Noel Kreiss | Final Fantasy XIII-2

[enguarding]

[ Noah Callahan is 19-year-old LCU student aiming to be a gym teacher, and is younger brother to Sierra Callahan who he rooms with. He's a barista at that overpriced coffee-shop. No, the other one. #coolestdudeobviously ]

a. public transportation
[ Guess whose beat-up car refused to run this morning? And who didn't have time to just bike to class?

No points for guessing the tall young man who is getting jostled around between people, standing in the aisle and has only one earbud in because as if he can listen to music in this noise. Did everyone's cars break down this morning?

There's a particularly rough jostle, and he stumbles backward into someone. Crap, did he step on their foot? ]

Ah-- sorry!

[ He looks like a slightly smirky puppy surely you can forgive him. ]

b. rainy day + park combo fun
[ Forecast had said "wouldn't rain until the afternoon" but here we are, Noah's taking his daily jog through the park and sploosh now soaking wet.

Taking refuge under a tree for a moment-- not that it matters, since it's not like he can get much wetter.

Andddd yep those sure are monsters prowling around. Really? Really?

He's just going to be... sticking close to this tree. Unless it looks like someone else is in trouble, in which case it may be TIME TO JUMP FORWARD AND DO SOMETHING STUPID. Let's... hope not welp. ]

c. wild card of your choice
[ At LCU? In a sports bar? At the coffee shop he works at? Something else? Who knows. ]

c i do what i want

[envisaging]

[ How about their parent's house, as they're home for a family dinner? Because that's where they are right now. It's no longer winter, because dad's outside grilling up hamburgers while mom chats with the various aunts and uncles and grandparents milling around the house. Sierra is helping set the picnic tables they dragged out onto the lawn.

Noah should be too, if he knows what's good for him. ]

Remember not to set up Aunt Eileen's place by Uncle Aidan's.

[ That's a no-nonsense remark as Sierra fills up drinks according to the quick poll done inside of "what do you want to drink". ]

so rebellious

[enguarding]

[ Obviously Noah is helping set the tables, he knows if he doesn't he'll catch hell from someone or other if he doesn't.

He pauses, staring at the place-settings. And casually switches a couple around. ]

Duh, never, not after what happened last time.

[ Thank god Sierra remembered, because Noah did not. And a repeat of "last time" would have been... no, let's not. ]

always

[envisaging]

[ Yeah, she saw that, Noah. And you just got an eyeroll, if you happened to look Sierra's way.

Did you want a repeat of last time? Did you? Because Sierra sure didn't. Mom would have strangled you, man.

...Well, okay, not really, but. ]

I saw that, you know. You're lucky you have me around to remind you about these things!

[ That might be an annoying thing to say...if she weren't obviously amused and laughing as she said it.

There is far too much family in the Callahan house. How many places are there even... ]

You know, before you got caught in the crossfire. I'd be out a baby brother.

[enguarding]

[ Noah's pretty sure mom would have legitimately strangled him.

But sticking his tongue out because nyehhhh lies he doesn't need her psssh (blatant lies). ]

You saw nothing.

[ Far too much family. ]

Is it-- [ who are all these people ]-- um the one cousin with the feathery earring that can't be near dairy or he flips out?

[envisaging]

I saw everything! I'm all-seeing and all-knowing.

[ ...There's something about talking to your kid brother that inspires a certain amount of joking childishness, even when you're both in college and out of the house.

Sierra's never going to be certain what it is. Regression? ]

And - Brendan? What about him? Did he do something?

[ Is it time to gossip it's time to gossip.

...Or Noah could be asking about table settings but hey, don't burst her bubble too soon. ]

[enguarding]

If you're so all-knowing, what'd I have for breakfast this morning?

[ And there's something about being a kid brother that inspires being a little shit, even at college age.

It's magic, clearly. ]

It was something involving a cow, I think?

[ He was asking about the table settings but that doesn't mean it isn't gossip time. Family gatherings were invented for just that purpose, after all. ]

b because why the hell not

[skycutter]

[Miles is... not a tough guy by any means, nor is he a hero so he's only interested in saving his own ass, but when he's being attacked too, he's got no choice but to fight. He flips his hood up to obscure his face because he'd rather not get himself identified while he's doing his magic stuff.

Fire balls are obviously out of the question, so water balls it is, being tossed around willy-nilly as he makes his way towards the guy under a tree. Miles is getting the hang of this magic thing.]

Get out of there and run!

[enguarding]

[ Noah has only been in vague understanding of the whole... echo past lives whatever it is some people can do freaking magic and stuff thing for a little while so seeing someone throwing water balls is...

Well, Noah does a double-take and blinks a bit stupidly. ]

Huh? Oh-- uh. [ wow so articulate noah brilliant work ] Run where?
