This sudden burst of sunlight

Who: Namine and anyone who wants to visit her.
What: A Nobody pretends to be a Somebody until she can rescue her friends.
When: Early Feb
Where: Rockwell's Art Supply
Warnings: IDEK. It's Namine Like. Really. It's entirely on whatever characters are visiting, really.

A

Nora Whitney is a lovely girl if you ask Mr. Rockwell or any of the people who work at Rockwell's, for that matter. There are only a few people on staff, Nora being the newest. She's always willing to help, and she's often found drawing on her breaks, or when there isn't anyone at the register. 

When asked she'll say that she likes drawing things she sees, the pictures seeming to be of the city or of the many stars that are in the papers and the tabloids. She smiles kindly and tells them she likes music. It's not a lie. But it isn't the entire truth either. 

She's quite good at that, by now.

She tends to take the register nearer to closing, beforehand it's easier to find her roaming the store, restocking or cleaning. 

B

On her way to and from work, Nora tends to take all sorts of different paths. She leaves early from home to find new ones, and returns home late to keep looking some days, though she often shows up at any of her 'family's' workplaces to walk home with them, even if it's rather far away, and there is no real way she could've gotten there from her own work quite so quickly. 

She sometimes stops to draw, but mostly just seems to be wandering, wearing her patchwork leather bag and seeming to just take in everything she can see. 

Acting like a regular person is very new to her, afterall.

Reverberate those sounds do, effectively catching his attention. There are definitely many noises going on throughout this place that would arouse suspicion to the unfamiliar, but knowing well enough the kind of beats and chords that drum playing has to offer, there wouldn't be much to arouse interest other than something out of tune or a serious indication of danger.

The sound of those chimes rattling together as they do is just enough to have him turn around and see where that sound is coming from. It doesn't sound planned, so maybe it's a newcomer he can get to know and impart advice onto.. woah.

Instead of what he expected, here we have a girl going through metal chimes hitting each other in a pattern uncharacteristic of any tune, but the look of her makes it so these things don't matter.

There's a girl here? More so, she's in the drum section of a music store like this? How stupid would Roxas have to be to not approach, introduce himself, and/or offer help? Very. So that's exactly what he does. That face of hers, when he finally has a full on view glimpse of it standing in front of her like he ends up doing, is odd, pleasant even, familiar. Like the sound of waves lapping at the shore, birds complaining in the distance of not having enough food, everything about her feels so... right at first glance.

The hell?

Ignoring this best he can, when Roxas is composed enough after approaching her (probably should have done that the other way around) he garners enough about him to speak to her. "Hey. So.. looking for bar chimes?"

If it's a bad lie, Roxas can't tell. Until she gives him a reason, he'll believe her. Even his time here hasn't made him skeptical enough, apparently. Since no one is immune to curiosity it's likely she just wandered in here, no goal intended. "Nice to meet you, Nora." Leaning against some equipment, really should've checked what first, "I'm Roxas--"

Crash. A stand of chimes and cymbals knock over, not nearly strong enough to support the weight of a teenage boy, making the obnoxious sound such instruments would be expected to make when falling to the ground. And drawing all attention in the store to Roxas.

Great, what a first impression. Nervously, "That.. usually doesn't happen.." Please believe him. He'll try to save what's left of his pride by picking up the stand and setting it upright, making even more noise doing so. Damn you, chimes!

"Um.. so, you new around here? I'm here quite a bit," usually not knocking things over, "Haven't seen you in the area before."
