[ This is a very solemn-looking young lady!

... Well, before, it was just black and several noises, one of which sounded like a different application opening entirely and some sounds of hushed frustration because you know what, technology can't love all of us, it is a fickle mistress, etc. But it's okay!! Because the aforementioned young lady is here now and looking so serious that she can't have possibly been frazzled six seconds ago!

No one will ever know. ]

Hello. My name is Fiore Forvedge Yggdmillennia, and I have a request for those liste-- ah, watching. I've been here a few weeks, and...

[ A pause. The camera slowly tilts to reveal that Fiore's actually sitting in a wheelchair, and there's a certain tightness to her features for those observant enough. As though she's in pain, but happily determined to ignore it and carry on. ]

To phrase it simply, I believe I'll be requiring quite a bit of Chroma for certain purposes, and as such, I'd like to ask if anyone would be willing to... earn it with me. Hand-holding, specifically, as anything beyond that will be entirely determined by the content of your character and only after a lengthy discussion.

[ Okay, so she might not have dealt with hugs or kisses yet, either. Please help her. ]

I understand that this may seem like a lot to ask from someone most of you don't know, but if you'd be willing to discuss this further with me, I'm sure I can find something to offer in return.

Thank you for liste-- watching.

[ It actually takes her like an additional forty seconds to turn it off after she stops speaking, but she's trying. ]

Hmm.

[ semiramis usually avoids the network, simply because she doesn't like using technology but... she can't resist the temptation to respond to this. ]

Is this how magi princesses are instructed to behave in order to find the company they need?

[Alright. well. Rei certainly hasn't forgotten Fiore. And she liked the girl, well enough. They'd seemed to be of a similarly serious sensibility, so of course she responds.]

I'd be amenable to an arrangement.

[Why not? It's hand holding, and it's harmless.]

Something simple but beneficial to both of us would not be a problem at all.

[anti_altruisms]

[ This entire post is a Mood, really. ]

I would be amenable to such an arrangement with you.

[takingchances]

Certain purposes, hm?

[Now she's curious.]

[cheir]

I'm hardly a princess, Assassin.

[ And now she's already regretting, but oh is she determined not to mention it. ]

And I thought it might be simpler to address the city at large like this.

[ SHE'S REGRETTING. ]

[cheir]

... Thank you. I'd be happy to meet with you at any time, then.

[ At least Rei's not a terrible person (see above)!! ]

[cheir]

[ We can all be awkward together, what a delightful fate. ]

THANK YOU/IWILLNOTFORGIVE YELLOW

[cheir]

[ fucking technology. ]

excuse me. I won't forget your kindness.

[ this is four minutes later. ]

[cheir]

Indeed. It's not something I wanted to trouble anyone with, since it's a rather lengthy explanation.

[ Ah, fate/anything. ]

[heptagram]

[What a strange name. But she won't judge, for now.]

I appreciate someone with a plan, though I do wish I had more information to actually get an idea as to what you wish to do.

I suppose I could help, though. [She's Cordis. She needs a lot of chroma in general. And judging by how her outfit is glowing faintly in some places thanks to her Chromawear, she needs even more.]

[incandescentfaith]

[She's really not. Quiet, reserved alien superhero...]

Wonderful. How does dinner this evening sound? We can meet and eat, while making money, haha.

[anti_altruisms]

[ ...ah well. Some things never change. ]

You will be assisting me as well so it's hardly an unequal exchange.

[ He needs mana (Chroma) to maintain his body here so it's more than just a currency issue she'll be helping him with. ]

Do you have a preference for where you'd like to meet?

[assyrian]

I am certain that your missive will achieve the desired effect. It is remarkably to the point.

What surprises me is that you've drawn the line at handholding.

[takingchances]

Ah, I see.

[She doesn't pry. Though:]

If it's some sort of experiment, let me know the results. It may help with research.

[That's all she has to say about what these 'certain purposes' are.]

I don't mind doing some hand-holding though for a good cause. I'm Eva Rosalene.

[cheir]

I'd rather not kiss or do anything... beyond that with people I don't know. You can call that childish if you'd like.

[ BECAUSE SHE KNOWS!!! ]

[cheir]

I think that sounds nice. Did you have a place in mind?

[ She's tried a few, but this city is so large... ]

[cheir]

I don't, no. If you can give me your location, I can meet you there in a bit.

[ Again, it's... a while. ]

[cheir]

It's a pleasure, Miss Rosalene. It's not quite an experiment, but I do appreciate the help.

[ She definitely needs it. ]

[byanyother]

Oh? I'm surprised there isn't a queue of girls and boys lining up for a pretty face like yours already.

[ That absolutely didn't answer the question but shhh it's fine. ]

[cheir]

Thank you... this is our first time meeting, isn't it?

[ This isn't a face she recognizes, at any rate. ]

[takingchances]

It's all we can really do around here for each other, seeing how Chroma works and all.

[cheir]

[ Why is everyone here so determined to fluster her, what did she even do--!

Which is to say Fiore's face is quickly turning pink, try as she might to gently clear her throat and pretend it's merely hot in here. ]

I am asking a lot, and offering... er, admittedly, not much.

[ She's not asking to bang anyone!! ]

[byanyother]

[ Because it's fun and Fiore is cute when she blushes. ]

You don't think the pleasure of your company is enough?

[ Not that Rosetta has any idea what Fiore is like after two whole seconds of chitchat, but she seems like a sweet girl. ]

[cheir]

I'm not vain enough to think that would be enough for people I hardly know.

[ This beautiful woman is already going to embarrass her to death, for starters. ]

[cheir]

It's an interesting method, promoting contact like that...

... Even though it's a little awkward.
