hello,,
everyone

I was wondering if it was acceptable to use this as a forum to ask if anyone is interested in
living with a roommate of some sort

I am quite unused to living alone, so if anyone feels similarly and wishes to share an apartment if that is not a strange thing to ask please feel free to contact me thank you

[ Hanyuu spends about two hours drafting up this post, half because she's still learning how to use the network, half because....oh jeez oh gosh this is a big thing to ask and she's not sure she should go through with it. But if someone kind does respond it could solve two of her problems in one go. Aaaah. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa---

ah. she forgot her name. can she edit posts? can she reply to her own posts? can people see her name already? all questions that she's now asking herself as she flips through the settings and contemplates deleting this post entirely. wah wah wahhhh. ]

Cher Monsieur,

I feel much the same. I’ve been living with a roommate for the past couple years in my own world, and it’s lonely to have my room empty now.

I’m hesitant to agree at first go, but if you don’t receive any superior offers, perhaps we could meet.

Yours,
Serge Marais

[ all this, without knowing she’s a girl… the impropriety. ]

[aumygoddess]

[ her four-word knowledge of french is telling her something is off about being called monsieur, but not enough for her to place it. Alas. ]

it's quite alright, I would like to meet in person before moving in with someone, in general

You cannot know what someone is like just through their writing

[affectueux]

Oui. And with devices like these, that allow us all to hide behind these “usernames,” there’s no way of tracing someone to their real self, either.

May I ask how old you are?

[aumygoddess]

[ there's a big, big gap in between his question and her response. she truly doesn't know if she should be disclosing this information to just anyone, but if it's a potential roommate...they'd probably find out personal stuff about her anyway, what with her horns and her tendency to float through walls rather than use doors. ]

I have lost track of the exact number, truthfully, but I am quite old

if you were to see me on the street, perhaps, I would appear to be around 29, though

[affectueux]

[ what a baffling answer. serge has met people from the past and future before, but people who are simply ageless? that’s different. ]

Are you implying you’re immortal?

[aumygoddess]

[ ah fuck she was afraid of this ]

of a sort, but I would not use that exact word myself

I apologize, I realize it can be very disconcerting to hear
but I felt this was not an appropriate situation to skirt around the truth in

[affectueux]

No, it’s all right. I was just surprised.

No wonder you’re looking for someone to live with. It must be horribly lonely, if you’ve been living with others that long.

[ so this person looks about thirty, but has actually lived much longer. countlessly longer, likely more than serge can even guess.

he wonders what kind of person they might be. ]

[aumygoddess]

[ oh friend you don't even know the half of it

Hanyuu stares at that sentence. "You must be horribly lonely." ]

a bit lonely, yes

[ "a bit" ]

[affectueux]

[ “a bit”… ]

Well, fret not! Even if we don’t find a roommate in one another, I’d be happy to be your friend. I know it’s not the same, but…

[aumygoddess]

no, it is fine
I do appreciate the thought
thank you
:)

[ is that how you do a smiling face??? did she do it?? ]

[affectueux]

[ serge recognizes that! he’s learned what emotes are, in his time here. ]

You are welcome. :)

May I at least ask your name?

[witchwithoutacause]

yeah bumming it alone is kinda boring huh?

[aumygoddess]

[ that....that username. hanyuu blinks at it for a moment before responding ]

I would not say boring, but it is a bit lonely for me

I have lived with two people for many years, so to suddenly wake up in a house alone is

unappealing

[witchwithoutacause]

Makes sense.

I kinda liked the freedom at first but it really is getting to me lately

[aumygoddess]

I see, I see, I hope you are not getting lonely yourself, stranger

[witchwithoutacause]

Eh. Occasionally.

Name's Amanda.

[aumygoddess]

it is a pleasure, Amanda

I am Hanyuu

[witchwithoutacause]

Same. How's the search going?

[aumygoddess]

not terribly well

I understand the apprehension of being a stranger's roommate, though
perhaps I should have offered more information about myself ]

[witchwithoutacause]

Alright. Tell me a little then.

[aumygoddess]

oh I

[ .....hmmm. what does she say? ]

I am quite good at domestic work
cleaning, and such

[ nailed it ]

[witchwithoutacause]

What do you expect out of your roommate?

( You're tugging at his cold, dead heartstrings, Hanyuu. Making it evident to Kerry that whomever wrote this post must be anxious all alone in this world. It's not much, but: )

It's probably not what you're looking for, but I run a hotel in the groves.
Feel free to stay a night or two if you're feeling lonely.
The staff will take care of you.

[aumygoddess]

[ a-awwwwww ]

oh! that is a very kind offer, thank you

I am looking for a long-term living arrangement I think but I appreciate your generosity

[originbullets]

It's quite alright, I assumed as much.
But you seemed lonely, so I thought I could ease your troubles.
Feel free to stop by anytime. My wife loves to entertain.

( Help his wife, Hanyuu. She needs more friends. )

[aumygoddess]

[ starting a mom club up in here ]

you are very thoughtful to offer such a thing to a complete stranger

might I ask your name?

[originbullets]

I hardly mind it at all.
Kiritsugu Emiya.

[aumygoddess]

still, thank you

my pleasure. I am Hanyuu.

[fairbrook]

( She doesn't quite want to do this, disliking the motion of having to depend upon others for her continued survival in this world, but it couldn't be helped. She lacked practical skills, and anything that didn't involve killing satanic threats was beyond her. And what with Sofia's, she was forced to shelve her pride once more. )

If I may inquire, are you still searching for a roommate?
I so happen to find myself with a spare room.

( It's weird, Hanyuu. She doesn't like it. )

Would you like to meet?

( If nothing else, to feel each other out. )

[aumygoddess]

[ !!! aaaa, an actual offer

stay calm, stay calm ]

I am still looking yes
it has been a difficult search, though I imagine it is because I do not know many people

if you would like to meet I would be open to it yes
what is your name, miss?

[ she's assuming it's either a lady, or someone who likes torture implements. or both. if it's either of the latter this might not work out. ]

[fairbrook]

( It's just her codename at the Round Table, Hanyuu. Calm down. )

Integra Hellsing.
Might I ask yours?
Would you care for tea?

[aumygoddess]

[ she has torture-related trauma, it's a natural reaction

But oh...tea. she perks up. ]

I am Hanyuu
It is nice to meet you

Yes, that sounds like a splendid idea
Where would you like to meet up?

[fairbrook]

( That's fair. )

Likewise for me, as well.
There's a cafe in the second level.
I'll send you the location.

( A public location would be best, she thinks, considering how meek Hanyuu comes across in her text. If nothing else, she didn't want to overwhelm her. )

[aumygoddess]

oh what a charming little place
Thank you

It takes me a bit to find my way around these parts
would meeting in about a half hour be acceptable?

[ good call. She CAN just teleport away if she gets spooked, but any attempts at not spooking her in the first place is a good sign. ]

text → action;

[fairbrook]

( It's not the first time she's dealt with trauma victims, so the calm and pleasant demeanor comes naturally to her. )

Yes, that would be fine.
Please, don't hesitate to contact me if you find yourself lost.

( And whenever Hanyuu arrives, she'll be greeted to the sight of a tall, blonde woman, with a toned complexion (presumably of Indian descent,) wearing a black vest and long skirt. When Hanyuu enters, she looks up from the book she'd been reading, speaking up with a rather posh British accent. )

Are you Hanyuu?

[aumygoddess]

[ Hanyuu steps in almost exactly a half hour later. She wasn't sure how dressed up to get for this, so she just plucked something pink out of her closet. She debated tying her hair up over her horns, buuuuuuut if this is someone she might be living with, it's better if she sees the horns right from the get go. Field any questions now rather than later.

That said, she's pretty short in person, but definitely looks like she's in her late 20s. Mom is shy. ]

Y-Yes, that is me. Integra?

[ a slight bow of the head. ]

[fairbrook]

( Despite her curiosity, the horns don't seem to so much as bother her. But then, when you've fought against literal Nazi vampires bent on the apocalypse, few things in life do.

It's not quite customary for her, but she meets Hanyuu's politeness in kind, bowing her head in return. )

It's a pleasure. ( She adds, gesturing toward the seat across from her: ) Please, feel free to order anything you like.

( She'll pay, it's fine. )

My girlfriend and I just lost two roommates and we live in a big house by the Crystal Beach. If nothing else works out, you can consider that an option. Of course you'd have your own room with a lock and we don't tend to privy on others' business.

[aumygoddess]

oh my goodness
that is an incredibly kind offer

[ au-ing now occuring irl ]

I cannot help but feel I would be crossing some boundary living in someone's already lived-in house, though

[soundsperfect]

You wouldn't, honestly. We moved the items they had to one of the spare rooms, so they're good to go to anyone who wants to just move in. And we enjoy having people around, as we're both social people.

We do have a dog, though, as a side note. Well, a polar bear dog, but she's cub-sized. And really friendly.
