Closed 🌺 Exploration [Voice Testing]

She didn't know what to make of this place. The world was paved and bordered with cement while tall buildings set in the skyline. She's been traveling for awhile now but each new city and each new town surprised her. This one was no different. She paused by the park, watching as the children played and smiled. The world was a mixture of dark and light, with buildings blotting out the sun but laughter filling the sweet crisp air. It was a balance that she couldn't disrupt nor did she attempt to try.

There was something here, hidden beneath the city... a story that had to be told and she was searching for it.

It was a tiring walk and she didn't have money for a hotel. She found a seat on a park bench, watching as people past and sirens echoed through the city. A fountain bubbled and curled in front of her while a man with a violin began to play. She didn't have the money she needed but she pulled out a dollar and set it in the violinist's case before retaking her seat on the bench.

Her long hair was tied in two pigtails while a warm jacket covered her shoulders. She didn't need the jacket but there was something comforting in the weight of the material against her skin. A shadow fell over her and her chin lifted. "Can I help you?"

"Huh? What? Me?" Sam asked, spinning around in a circle to look behind him to see if the very pretty girl was talking to someone else. If she was she was talking to someone that Sam couldn't see. And he wasn't completely willing to discount that she was talking to someone else because... he was the guy with a robot car so he couldn't really judge. Much. He couldn't judge much because he still judged a tiny bit.

But he also judged because she was really, really attractive so he automatically judged her as awesome. Because... because that's just how he was.

"I, uh. I don't think so? I mean maybe. Maybe you could if I needed help? But I don't. Need help. But maybe you could if I did."

Her mouth curved into a small smile at the way his words jumbled and twisted together. She could already tell that he was sweet. "It's fine if you don't. I wasn't sure if I was in your way." Her seat could have been claimed in the short time that she went to tip the violinist and she'd never have known.

"Would you like to join me? It's a nice day to sit outside and enjoy the weather." Her eyes dropped to the second of the bench that stretched out next to her.

Okay, she was laughing at him a bit. Or smiling at least but girls liked guys that could make them smile, right? Plus it was a really pretty smile. Like... the prettiest smile ever? So yeah, he'd take that.

"Join you? Yeah, of course. Definitely. I- I would love to sit here with you," he said, quickly sitting down before she could change her mind. Sam was pretty sure at any moment her huge, muscle-bound boyfriend that was probably also really into MMA would come along and ask him what he was doing but until then he'd enjoy her company. "So are you here just relaxing? Maybe going on a walk with your boyfriend? If you have a boyfriend."

She made sure that there was room for him on the bench before shifting so that she could speak politely to Sam but continue looking out over the park. The chilly air bit lightly at her nose and she found her smile softening.

"No." she didn't really understand his train of thought. "I'm alone. I just wanted to see the park. I travel a lot and I'm in this city for a little while." It wasn't the kind of life that lent itself to being a relationship nor did she think that there was a relationship out there for her. She had to find her sister, everything else had to be secondary to that...

"It's really beautiful here. I'm beginning to really like this city."

“Oh, that’s cool. Very cool. I’m here for college. To go to it. I mean I am going to it,” Sam said, fiddling a bit awkwardly with his hands as he rambled. And he wasn’t ramble because she was basically perfect, although it was kind of that too, but because that’s just about how he had ever single conversation in his life.

“So, since you’re new and here for just a little bit. I was wondering if you maybe wanted to go to a party with me? It’s later tonight. You don’t have to, I know you just met me but I promise I’m not some creep or anything. I’m Sam, Sam Witwicky.”

"A party?" She was rarely surprised but she hadn't expected that. "I'd love to." She paused thoughtfully. "Would you be taking me?" She hoped that what she was wearing was okay because she didn't have any other clothes.

"It's nice to meet you Sam." Parities were very rare in her life and she was looking forward to it. She wondered what it'd be like. Angel hadn't gotten to go to college.

"Yeah, just one of those... hanging out at a frat things? If you're into that. If you're not into that we can do something else? If you want to do something else we can do that," Sam said, acting like them hanging out was a foregone conclusion. That was probably a bit creepy but he was just over eager and she seemed really nice.

"And yeah, I would. If you're cool with that. And it's nice to meet you too.... whoever you are?"

"I um..." Her lips pressed lightly together and as she met his gaze she looked uncharacteristically nervous. "I don't have a name." She paused thoughtfully. "I can call me Angel?" She didn't know if he'd go for that since it sounded like a fairly unusual name.

"Oh, But I'd love to go to a party with you. I think it'd be fun."

“Are you sure Angel isn’t just what you are and not your name?” Sam joked, only a little weirded out that she didn’t have a name. Or didn’t think that she had a name. But Sam was a weirdo himself and if she’d been a little more forward he’d probably be the one babbling about how he didn’t have a name and was a dragon or something.

“I can call you Angel if you want though? Or I could pick a name? I’m kind of great at naming things.”

She smiled then, her pale blue eyes alight with a bashful warmth. "It is what I am and not my name." Her head shakes briefly back and forth. "I do not have a name but you can give me one if you wish."

While her race didn't need labels or names, she knew that humans did. It was important in the way they lived their lives and while she will never give herself a name, she will accept one freely given to her.

Right, she was an angel. Maybe this was a weird pledge thing? Probably a weird pledge thing. Like she was part of Alpha ...something sorority that were the "angels' and this was her pledge. But if this was a weird pledge thing did that make him like a mark or something?

Yeah he was just going to choose to believe she was an angel because that was weirder but less humiliating.

"Okay, so I think you should be Guinevere with the nickname Gwen?" he said after a moment of thought. He hoped she liked it because naming someone was a big deal.

Her mouth curved into a warm smile. "I like that. I will be Guinevere with the nickname Gwen." It didn't matter what the name was but that he was kind enough to give her one.

"Thank you Sam."

Gwen's eyes glanced down at her attire. She really did hope that it was appropriate for a party. "When is this party? Should I meet you or does it start soon?"

“Yeah, don’t worry, no one is going to care what you’re wearing,” Sam reassured her. She was the sort of gorgeous that could show up in yoga pants and a t-shirt and guys would fall all over her. That was actually probably what was going to happen but he didn’t want to be some insecure asshole who didn’t let her hand out with other people because she might ditch them for him.

“I mean... I care. Obviously. I just mean you look nice no matter what you wear. Or don’t wear. I mean... not naked sort of don’t wear just if you choose not to conform to societal standards that would be fine too. I just mean... your outfit is very nice. ANd it’s now, the thing is now. We can go now if you want? I was just headed there.”

He totally wasn’t headed there but if she wanted to go then he was totally headed there now so it was basically the same thing.

It was difficult to follow everything he was saying but she tried her best, her smile warm, sweet and wide. A finger delicately pressed against her lips to stop her smile from growing. "I'm not doing anything now." She spoke simply before rising to her feet and turning towards Sam.

"Why don't we go? You can show me around this party." She held out her hand, helping him to his feet while keeping her hand in his.

She didn't intend to ditch Sam but she was excited to meet more people. For the moment, the only person she knew with any familiarity was Sam himself and they had only just met.

Sam was used to people either trying to hold their laughter in around him or just straight laughing at him. The fact that she actually tried to not laugh earned her points. So far she had about a billion points which was a pretty good number and could be exchanged for a fair number of goods and services (mostly services) at the Sam Witwicky Store.

"So I take it you're new in town?" he asked, a little surprised that she was holding his hand but definitely pleasantly surprised. Because if you arrived at a party holding that's that totally meant something and Sam was totally okay with that!

"I am. I don't know how long I will be staying." Her plans could last days or months. She never really knew what she was going to do until it happened. "But I like traveling. I get to see new places and meet new people."

She smiled over at him and hoped that he knew that she was talking about him. "What are you studying in college? I never went to college." There were no college's in heaven...

"Oh, cool. Sounds like a cool adventure. I'm- I'm staying for a few years. For college. Where I'm currently an undeclared major. I'm sort of interested in astrophysics? You know, worlds and realities beyond this one," Sam said. Which sounded like crazy, stupid, science fiction stuff but that was kind of his life right now.

"Where are you staying in town? Is it close to hear? Because if it is... or if it isn't... I can walk you home after the party. You know, to make sure you get home okay."

A small smile graced her lips and she wonder what he might think if he learned that she was from another world. "That sounds interesting."

A beat.

"Oh. I don't know yet." She hadn't gotten that far. "I have only just arrived and I ran out of money." Minus the fifty odd cents she had in her pocket. "But I'm sure it'll work out." It always worked out in some way and Angel didn't mind spending the night wandering until she found a safe place to rest.

"Oh. Well. If. If you need to you could stay with me. For a bit. As long as you need," Sam said without hesitation. He was pretty sure that his roommate wouldn't mind if a super gorgeous woman stayed at their place for a bit. He had no idea where she would sleep or anything but they could figure that out later.

She paused and turned to look at him. "You would really let me stay with you?" She sounded genuinely surprised but pleasantly so. "I would like that very much. Thank you Sam."

Her mouth curved into a warm smile.

"I'm lucky to have run into you."

She continued stepping at his side, her fingers lacing together inf front of her as they continued forward.

“Uhhh, yeah, no- no problem,” Sam said, his brain temporarily scrambled by her smile and the feel of her hand in his. He could swear a faint tingle ran up his arm at the contact and it was very distracting in a nice way.

“So is this your first time traveling?”

"Not traveling but this is my first time to this city. I've been traveling for the last few years. I think the longest I've lived in one place was about a year." It had ended tragically but she had no intention of diving into those details. "I'm used to staying wherever I can. I don't have very much money and I've never held a job before."

Which she didn't really mind. There were plenty of safe places she could spend the night and she was resilient to inclement weather.

"How do you afford stuff if you don't have a job?" he asked, although he realized that maybe she had a trust fund or rich parents or something. His family was well enough but they weren't "just travel the country" rich. Even if they were his dad would never just fund him wandering around.

"What do I need to buy?" She sounded genuinely confused. "I don't need very much." She could eat but she didn't have to eat as much as a human and there were ways to work for food or other necessities.

"I don't... really understand money."

She was very strange.

Okay, rich girl. Which made sense. She didn't seem stuck up or anything but if she didn't understand how money worked then... yikes. Sam couldn't even comprehend that. It would have made him mad or jealous but she looked so confused about it he couldn't. Also she was still super hot so... she got a pass.

"Well... you use it to exchange for goods or services," he said, scratching the back of his head in thought. "So if you need stuff like clothes or food you give people money and they give you those things. Then they take the money you give them and exchange it for stuff."
