Exploring the New World (Open)

[Agrias Oaks]

Agrias wandered the streets of Rabanastre, completely lost and steadily succumbing to fatigue. For days, she had been desperately searching for Ovelia, with little to no rest, and it was finally catching up to her. Of course, it didn't help that she had no clue where she was. Not only was she in a completely different world. Not only was it a pain because she had no idea where she was, but it was far more technologically advanced than anything she had ever seen before. What was probably the most ironic part of all this is that she was actually still in Ivalice (or at least, the city was before the Calamity), only this particular city was 1300 years into the past from where she was from. However, she had no way of knowing this.

As if being completely lost wasn't bad enough, she also stood out like a sore thumb. Even compared to the armored soldiers who patrolled the streets, she looked completely different. So far, she had yet to see any female soldiers, so it was possible that there simply weren't any...either way, it was too risky to attempt to pass herself off as one, should her appearance become an issue. Even if she ditched her armor (though she would only do such a thing in an emergency), her clothing underneath was nothing like the considerably more revealing outfits that the citizens wore...Agrias had a very hard time picturing herself dressed like that. Alas, it was something she would have to put up with...at least for now. Standing out in a large city was the least of her worries. However, she reluctantly decided to stop and rest for a bit, before doing anything else. Finding a place to sit down, she out let out a heavy sigh, slowly finding herself deep in thought as he made a futile effort to make sense of her current situation

[Celes Chere]

After managing to leave the remains of the once beloved Figaro Castle Celes made her way across the marshes to the nearest city. Not knowing who or what she would run into here she was on edge. This city she entered had the appearance of the old Imperial Capital of Vector that she had grown up within. Even the smells of this city where similar and yet she knew that this was not the same city of her youth. This was an entirely new city with new dangers and new things for her to figure out.

As she walked through the city she watched every person and 'creature' as she called them closely. After walking around for what seemed to be hours she stopped finding a place to sit down in the crowded streets. Plopping herself down on the street she glanced around. Every single soldier she saw was male and it disgusted her as in her own world she had helped make it so women where at least allowed to serve. Sitting beside her though was an exception. A female warrior by the looks of her attire and because her blade looked like it had seen some action in its time.

Celes turned to the other woman and spoke up. "Hello there... Would you happen to know the name of this city. For some reason I do not know what to call this place..."

[Agrias Oaks]

Agrias' thoughts were suddenly interrupted by the voice of another, and, having been caught off guard, she jumped a bit. However, once she noticed that it was just another woman, she quickly relaxed, letting out a sigh of relief. It wasn't very often that she was caught off-guard...she must have been more exhausted than she initially realized. Upon hearing her questions, she let out a sigh "I'm afraid that makes two of us. One minute, I'm with the princess, and the next, I'm in a world I've never seen before, with no clue to her whereabouts. If something were to happen to her..." her words trailed off, a look of deep concern on her face, then she let out a sigh "I'm forgetting my manners." She looked to Celes, doing her best to smile despite her rather obvious frustration, and held out her hand "I am Agrias Oaks, by the way."
