001 ♡ text

To be honest, this is probably the most boring network post that I'm going to throw up, and it kind of sucks that it's my first one, but guess you can't all be winners, right?

Anyway, hi. I'm Inaba - I'm actually inquiring on here to look for a proper roommate. The apartment I'm in is medium-sized, but that's still pretty large for a single person to live in, you know? As far as I know, I'm the only one from my world here? Although I've heard that there are other people who come from Japan, even if they're alternate universe Japans.

I'm specifically from Yokohama myself, if that matters to anyone.

Anyway, in terms of rooming stuff, I have a few credentials:

Someone who can do chores (as we'll be splitting them)
A trustworthy individual that will be judged on a case by case basis
Willing to also split any costs and communicate with me as necessary for furniture changes, etc. I honestly don't care what you have in your room, but if you do any crazy furniture changes outside of your personal space, please talk to me first

And that's basically it!

If you have any questions, feel free to ask me — I'm willing to answer any questions of my own for you guys to get to know me a little better as a roommate as necessary, and I'm just willing to chat in general, as it can get a little dull at times.

Thanks in advance.

Yeah, that's good to know.

I tend to go out a lot myself. If the situation changes, as in "people stop by my place more often", then I'd let you know if it came to that.

You mind meeting in person when Iris week is over?

Though if you're daring, we can meet in public sooner anyway. I promise I'm still presentable, even with antlers.

I'm an Iris as well, and even if it does end, we're both going to have to deal with it again at some point so it's better to deal with it sooner rather than later.

If you want to meet up sometime today, or another day.

Later today sounds good to me!

Where do you want to meet?

Do you know where the arcade is? In front of there.

I'll be wearing my school uniform so it should be easy to spot me-- it's all navy blue and with a plaid skirt.

[ Since her name is pretty gender neutral and all. . . at least, the last name she introduced herself with. ]

Alright then, I'll meet you there!

[ Inaba wouldn't have to wait too long. Just outside the arcade, Inaba would eventually spy a brunette with... antlers. And very long hair that resembled tentacles. She was mostly modest in dress, but her limbs seemed to be covered in a sheen of fur.

She was busy texting on her phone, and Inaba would get another text on her phone. ]

I'm here!

[ If Inaba approached, however, she'd actually deduce who she was. ]

You're... Inaba-han, right?

[ Inaba wasn't already at the arcade, but she certainly doesn't take her time heading there, although she does pace herself, given that her athleticism is kind of garbage.

But eventually she's here - and, as spoken about through text, in her school uniform. The only physical change to be seen on her are the rabbit ears atop her dark black hair as she sees the message, raising her eyes to glance around for the person she's looking for before walking up to approach, although it's admittedly a little sheepish. ]

Yeah, that's me.

Hello!

[ Konoka greeted cheerfully. ]

Wow, looks like you got off somewhat easy, given you only got cute bunny ears. I've turned into a straight up deer alien.

And I'm still not the weirdest thing I've seen today.

I'm Konoka. Nice to meet you in person! Are you holding up alright with Iris madness?

Maybe whatever god lives on the Iris moon thought, "haha, it'd be funny to give Inaba bunny ears, then we can call her Inabun."

[ Her response us admittedly a little dry, but that doesn't mean that she's actually annoyed by it.

Okay, well, she kind of is.

Nevertheless, she tries to wear a bright smile towards Konoka, but it doesn't entirely meet her eyes. ]

It's a bit. . .much. Almost overwhelming, actually.

[ If she were hoping to not be funny, then unfortunately Konoka couldn't stop herself from grinning at that name pun.

Fortunately, even if she couldn't see past Inaba's smile, the words were enough to make Konoka consider herself more carefully. ]

I see where you're coming from. You're far away from home, from anyone you know, thrown onto a new world. You wonder if you'll see everyone again. It's kinda scary.

But you're still here and you're still you, despite everything.

[ Konoka really wanted to give Inaba a hug right now, and it was taking every fiber of her being not to do so, since a potential roommate would probably get freaked out from hugs around here. ]

I would know. This isn't the first time it's happened to me.

Edited 2019-06-14 11:49 (UTC)

[ . . . Well, that wasn't the plan?

But it's not necessarily a bad thing, so she can't help but sport a little grin at it nevertheless. ]

Yeah, a little bit. But I've been on my own for a long time.

[ She doesn't want to admit just how truly terrified she is.

Because that would mean that she's weak. She can't show weakness, she just can't- ]

I guess you're right, though. I'm still myself. I'm still. . . Inaba.

I think it's alright if other people give a helping hand.

[ Konoka decided to take a bit of a risk, and take Inaba's hand in her own. Aside from finally telling some part of her body to shut up, it would also help her point. ]

People have an easier time surviving when they're together.

You're right.

[ She knows all too well. It's a seasoned learned time and again, that people can't live on their own. As much as a part of her wanted to crawl back in her shell the moment she found herself in another world, all by herself —

But she can't live that way.

Her eyes widen ever so slightly as Monika takes her hands before letting out a bit of a breathy sigh. ]

You can't do everything on your own. In this world it's made especially true when making money easy is through touch, and the easiest way to get that is with connections.

Yep!

[ Konoka beamed when Inaba didn't react adversely. ]

I've got a lot of things that I miss and ache for at home. But here, I want to keep moving forward, and the people I've met so far have been so kind and helpful, I want to pay it forward!

[ She seems so naively shounen it hurts, but at the same time her grip on Inaba is as firm as it is comforting, so perhaps she's not just having her head in the clouds. ]

Yeah, I'm. . . [ a beat ] . . . honestly surprised at how many kind people are.

[ She had to pause on her words because she can't just say that she can move forward-- as much as she wants to, there are too many things that she misses. ]

[ Konoka just basked in the feeling of Chroma growth for a little while longer. Aside from cheering up Inaba, it was also taking off the edge of that heat that Iris Moonblessed seemed to have been cursed with. ]

So how about it? Am I a good roommate candidate?

[ Konoka does tend to barrel through with things when she's interested. ]

[ While the Chroma gain was nice and all and even sated her for a bit, their was just something about it all that just didn't entirely sit well with her.

She does smile a little apologetically, though. ]

I still have to think about it a little bit. I don't want to make any rash decisions.

It’s alright!

[ For one thing, Konoka didn’t expect an answer right away. It was kind of like a job interview, and she figured they still need to know each other a little more. It’s more necessary than her days back in school, huh? ]

By the way, have you found any place you like visiting here yet? I’m surprised by how cozy the library is despite its size.

[ She waves her hand a little dismissively with a bit of a frown. ]

Kind of difficult to do that when you had to deal with a baby dragon for most of the time.

Ah, those guys were a serious Chroma drain. I'm sorry that it turned into a struggle.

[ Konoka gave a sympathetic pat on the hand (that she was still holding). ]

Maybe now that they're back home, you'll have more freedom?

Yeah, they were. . . and, yeah. Hopefully.

In the meantime, do you have any other good ways to get more Chroma? Regardless of whether you do or not, I'm here to help.

Huh? Ah. . . unfortunately, no. But thanks for the offer regardless.

Ehhh?

[ Something about that suggested Inaba wasn't wanting her help. ]

We've already seen what happens when we run out of Chroma! It's too dangerous to o without something!

Ah-- that's not what I meant--

[ She raises her hands a little apologetically. ] It's more that I'll be fine for now? Most of the stuff I know is just simple handholding and basic touch.

Ah, okay.

Well if you don't find anyone, then I'm coming over to hold your hands until you recover, okay?

[ Konoka is only looking out for your health! ]
