First Night: A Whole New Whole New World?
[Action- Locked to Beast and Belle]
[The bed seems off somehow. It's dark, but somehow the feel of it is off.
His hand stretches out and brushes against something furry. Abu must have fallen asleep on his bed again. He quickly pulls his hand back to avoid waking him, then pushes himself up off the bed. This is definitely not his bed.
He tries to crawl out of the bed... and his hand hits warm fur. A lot of it. Attached to something... big.
Very, very big.
So, he, being the stalwart hero he is, does what any brave, calm, resolute hero does. He yelps and jumps out of that bed like it was on fire.]
[Action]
[Later in the day, Aladdin can be found wandering around the village, staring in awe at everything he finds and generally looking as much like a new feather as one possibly can. Feel free to chat, or if you're feeling more malicious, feel free to test your deviousness.
Alternatively, there is a certain tiny thieving monkey running around, and Aladdin hasn't been united with him juuuuust yet. He may or may not grab anything shiny.]

[Action]
Thanks! I'm Aang. Nice to meet you, Aladdin! And this little guy here is Momo.
[Action]
[Having apparently mourned and moved on past the loss of the watch, Abu is now inspecting Momo curiously. Because Momo looks like a monkey. But not. What madness is this.]
"Hey, maybe Abu and Momo can make friends after all."
[Abu squeaks at Aladdin irritably.]
"...maybe."
[Action]
I've got faith in them. Maybe Momo will be less grumpy now.
[Action]
"So how long have you been here, Aang?"
[Action]
Don't freak out, but... it's kind of been about a year and a half now.
[Momo eventually makes his way down and holds out his hand, offering to give Abu a lift.]
Re: [Action]
[The color drains from his face.]
"I could be here away from my friends for that long?"
[Action]
[Action]
"Well... I guess it's not so bad... as long as I go home before I'm an old man."
[He so doesn't sound convinced.]
[Action]
[Action]
[... He's 18. That's like an eternity to him. But he puts on a show of bravado.]
"I can wait five years, if I have to. No sweat."
[Action]
[Action]
[He grins. And tries not to let the sudden loneliness show too much.
Five years away from Jasmine felt like an eternity.]
"So did any of your friends from home show up? Aside from Momo, of course."
[Abu, meanwhile, seems to have taken Momo up on his offer of a ride. Enthusiastically. Momo's no Carpet, but hey, he'll do.]
[Action]
[Action]
[He grins and glances up at Abu and Momo swooping overhead. Abu's chittering seems to be veering back and forth between excitement and terrified agitation.
Poor guy's not used to this kind of flying.]
"This place doesn't seem so bad aside from that."
[Action]
I guess you're right in that sense. But... There are still some bad things out there. The experiments the Malnosso do can be scary - and then there's the drafts.
