The New Person
Who: Echo + Pandora House & Friends
What: Meeting or reintroducing yourself to the new housemate.
When: Arrival time in April.
Where: In and around the Pandora Hearts house.
Content Warnings: Allusions to abusive conditions
Oz just happened to find Echo on the boardwalk after she finally made it to shore and got her bearings. She followed him home! ...Well, maybe it was more like he dragged her. Although "dragging" would imply she hadn't willingly grabbed his hand...
ANYWAY, regardless of semantics, he's taken her to the house the people from his world (and then some) inhabit. Oz will be handling the initial settling in, making her pick a room that's more than a storage closet with a place to sleep, etc.
For everyone else, there's a good chance Oz proceeded to tell you Eko-chan was here! Or maybe you saw her arriving or are just seeing her for the first time around the house. And Echo will definitely be around the house, as interesting as it is. At some point, you could find her just about everywhere she can reasonably get to. Echo won't intrude on some's personal room without invitation, and she probably wouldn't spend too much time in any of the stranger places like the basement, because she spent enough time in Vincent's room already, thank you. She has a habit of just quietly observing from one out-of-the-way spot with a good view and not showing much emotion. Unless you're very perceptive, you may not even spot her at first. She does need to do things like go from place to place and eat, so you can certainly find her moving about, as well. Echo could also be found in her room.
Since I'm still learning about the house, I'm going to trust you guys with the exact settings this time if that's okay.

[Not that she can't read it herself, but it's another chance to do something with Oz. That alone is pretty incredible right now.
His last comment makes her frown a bit, though. She'd really been focused on her own experience at that point, but given all the circumstances that wasn't wrong of her. And she could accept that was how things had ended. In retrospect, though, Oz hadn't seemed as okay with it as she was.]
I— I should apologize, if you were hurt before...
no subject
Unconsciously, he tightens his grip on her hand.]
It's okay. I was hurt because I like you, Echo. And I was so happy that we met. You don't have to apologize for that kind of pain.
no subject
Oh. All right.
[She mumbles that, but in spite of her concerns his words made her feel good somehow. She kind of has a ghost of one of those smile things, actually. And she finds herself returning that tighter squeeze on his hand.]
