[Option 2]
[Oh, it's definitely not an ocean beach - Riku can attest to that. He can tell by the sound alone.
Still, it's a familiar enough picture and given that they may all be stuck here for a while, he really doesn't see any problem in sitting down on the top of the roof that rental store, somewhat reasonably out of sight from down on the streets, but close enough to listen to the sounds. Attached enough to be able to risk leaning back and relaxing some himself as the sun burns down.
Even if it's not the same.
Even if the waves sound different.]
[Option 4]
['Physical contact is essential' they say. 'Not complying will have consequences' they say. Well, Riku doesn't quite answer 'Stuff it', but it's close.
And now he's paying the price for it; stumbling around empty side streets while feeling really utterly terrible - nausea is twisting in his stomach and how he ever got up is a mystery. Ugh, he really should have stayed in bed. Well, if he stops here and spends two seconds pressing his forehead against the cold wall, maybe it will get better. There is no way this is going to last or get worse after all. Right?]

Haha, well, of course it's fun.
[Don't mind the tsunnish exterior, Namine. He's soft on the inside and so is his hair.]
Are you coming in or what?

[Yata continues petting the cat, and as he does, he finds himself enjoying it. The headache seems to be pounding a bit less. It certainly hasn't stopped, but it's a slight improvement]
You're a nice cat, aren't you?
You're a nice cat, aren't you?
[ That "someone", in this case, is a clockwork golem all covered in patchwork 'skin' and clothing. Naturally, as soon as he saw someone looking so weak and miserable and not even sitting properly in a chair, he bee-lined over to investigate. Concern? Naw. Whether it's how he naturally ended up over time or there was some design flaw in the initial casting of his personality, he's never really gotten a handle on any emotions in the 'negative' range.
So while he may not be worried, he knows when someone doesn't look well, and is more than friendly enough to want to help. ]
You look like you need one, big time! [ he says in response, smiling a gap-toothed grin. He offers Cathy both his hands (garden gloves, they are) to help her up. ] If you don't mind the metal under all this patchwork, you can have as long a cuddle as you need!

[She wishes there were more in the way of shells and things to be found. Not that this place ever could ahve been like the beach at Destiny Islands at all, but any kind of similarity to it would have been nice.
However, looking around and seeing someone you knew was a more than adequate alternative.]
Namine?
[She... hadn't realized there were so many familiar faces here]

[Considering Yata was involved with what was technically a street gang, he knew exactly what she meant by "sauce", even if it wasn't his current problem.]
Tch! I'm from Homra/ [He says that word with an extreme reverence] I don't need to "hit the sauce".

Myow.
[Pretty much the nicest. ...Well, sort of, unless Yoruichi is feeling particularly exasperated with someone's foolishness. Luckily that isn't the case, so Yata gets plenty of purring instead of claws raked across his face. He's a decent boy so far, and deserving of a little relief and comfort. Purring, Yoruichi pushes into his touch, with no reservations whatsoever.]

[It had been chance that brought Roxas near this part of the city. As much as he wanted to do some exploring himself, the streets were narrow enough to easily get lost in. He had only just recognized where he was after picking up some bread and cold cuts when he saw Mami nearby.
Oh, no. He'd been through the same situation, if this is what he thinks it is.
He approaches her cautiously; he'll keep his distance for now, though he knows that may not help her much. He raises his free hand just slightly, enough to be at the ready to catch her, should she faint or fall.]
Are you feeling alright?

Legolas was suspicious of most everyone he past, suspicious of touching them or talking to them. Sure that this was a trick, something Riki had done to make him believe he was free of that Valar-forsaken tower. A trick to try to get information about Zelda, about the resistance, about the task Dax left for them.
It's only a small wonder that, when he saw Thranduil, he kept a careful distance and looked almost unsure. It couldn't possibly be. What good would it do Riki to make him see his father? Legolas wasn't the authority figure with the resistance, that was Zelda. He couldn't, and wouldn't, say anything if that's what the administrator had been up to. But Riki wasn't like Jason who liked to cut them apart or torture them. Riki's games lie in unexplainable physics and disorienting them. Very much like this city was doing tot he young elf.
So he'll watch Thranduil, or what he thinks is Thranduil. Eyes tired and wary, not wanting to get his hopes up only to have them dashed.

[A middle-aged gentleman in a suit and tie, stubbornly overdressed despite the heat, is sitting in the shade not too far from the river. His arms are folded, his brows are drawn, and - rather unbecomingly - he's muttering to himself.]
This must be a ruse. There's no scientific basis to anything they've said.
[He pinches the bridge of his nose and stares up towards the leafy canopy he's taken shelter beneath]
I need to relax. I need to relax and ascertain how they're inducing the symptoms.
[Reaching inside of his coat, he pulls out a notebook and pen, and begins to write]
Poison, some kind of pathogen...

Foolish? I'm just being myself.
[Indeed, he is. This is literally how he always is.]
I really think you could use a hug. And my writing's not that bad! I've seen a whole lot worse!

[ it was a simple walk into town when Madoka spots a familiar sight. the smile instant as soon as she recognizes Mami and grateful she ran into the older girl.
she raises her hand in a wave, immediately turning and starting toward her. ]
Oh, Mami-san. I'm glad I found you, are you— [ nope. definitely not okay!! ] Ma—Mami-san!?

[He remembered pain...and the tear-streaked face of a crying girl as she mourned over his dying. And now...now he was here. The City had "welcomed him" in its fashion, and told him of all that new arrivals were expected to hear. Obviously he had not taken to their words.
He put his hand on his head, feeling feverish. Nephrite was sweaty and pale, looking quite ill. He'd ignored the warnings before, but what was he to do? Permit physical contact with others seemed clearly like an unfortunate if not desperate option. He had his pride to consider.
He laid his back against a tree near the river, using the shade to his advantage and resting. For now he would have to stay put.]

[ Just about everybody's meant to be Talrovian's friend as far as the construct is concerned. Oh, someone could make him be a little less inclined to help them than usual if they worked at it, but overall? Talrovian likes people.
Especially people that treat him like people.
Yogi gets hugged back just as happily, tight enough to be genuine but not too tight for any of his insulated frame to hurt, and definitely not in any hurry to let go. Physical contact recharge time is just a bonus to getting hugs, if you ask him!
He laughs, his voice sort of resonant, but easily identified as young and male as he rambles away without provocationg. ] It was great! I got it at an equality rally! I was just standing around watching and someone said 'hey you!' and put it in my hands, so I took it home afterwards. [ A beat to think, then another laugh. ] I think next time I go to a rally I'll take a 'Free Hugs' sign and see what happens!

Who?
[There is no Asch in his universe. Or at least no one named Asch.]

[Cathy winces slightly at Ladon's reply, but there's no helping the way her expression warms upon seeing him. As he sits next to her, Cathy leans in immediately, right under the arm he puts around her shoulders. She doesn't mind the lack of personal space, but she knows others do so she's been a little more careful about her casual touching as a result. Everyone seems so much more aware of it here...
But no, her thoughts don't linger there long. Sighing, she shakes her head.]
Not this time, sad to say. Would be easy enough to pop a pill and down some water if that were the case.
[And while she knows it's too soon to already be feeling better, simply knowing that she will feel better after some time with Ladon helps.]
You've been clocking enough time I guess?

[Sadly, this is one of those moments when she isn't paying much attention until a familiar but also strange voice greets her. She turns to face the person and her first thought was-]
Luke?! I didn't know you arrived here as well!
[Hold on for a minute...he had short hair the last time she saw him.]
Did you...grow your hair back so quickly?

[Ironic, that Roxas's apartments would have situated him nearby the beach. Twilight Town gave him all of these false memories of a past and a childhood he never really had. No, this was his first visit to a beach in his lifetime--and it figures he would be doing it alone, in a city full of people he doesn't know.
In a sweatshirt and shorts and sandals, Roxas is on his way towards the sand before that unmistakable silver brings him to a sudden halt. His hands fall from the outer pocket of his sweetshirt, eyes trained on the figure sitting atop the roof of the little shop.]
Riku?

[What a city. She could tell straight away there was really no need to be on guard or to conduct any sort of patrols, but... old habits die hard. Although in this case it's less of a patrol and more exploration, the young knight slowly walking through the city in a rather heavy suit of armor, a sword sheathed at her belt.
Sure there was no need for such equipment, it seemed, but she simply felt more comfortable with it than without it for the time being.
Whatever train of thought she was on at the moment however was promptly derailed when she saw the other girl leaning against a wall, clearly in no small amount of distress. That prompted Amelia to hurry over towards her, the voice coming from the armored figure that of a surprisingly young sounding girl rather than what one might normally expect from an appearance like that.]
Excuse me! You don't look well at all, are you alright ma'am? [Because even in this place, she was still a knight and still going to help people if she could.]

Then that says it all, doesn't it?
...
Touch me and I'll--
[He quickly reigns himself in.]
No. I'm not buying into that "physical contact" nonsense. Not without proof.
And I shudder to think what else is out there if that is considered "not that bad".

You're swimming in your clothes?
[Repliku's not afraid of the water, just reluctant to get in it. He could probably swim if he had to, but he's playing it safe, standing just at the edge of the water line, shoes and socks in a pile a safe distance from the water, and his pants rolled up a few inches.]

[The person who answers appears to be rather startled at being addressed.]
Me?

[ Whoops. Talrovian watches this fall-scramble-retreat with unconcerned curiosity, continuing to smile even as the girl backs away. He, personally, remains standing right where he is. Though surprised for a moment, he's not the least bit worried.
In fact, he laughs. Not at Rialynn, specifically, but more for the situation in general. Not that the difference is readily apparent. ]
Ah, sorry, sorry! I didn't mean to scare you, honestly! Are you alright?
