1 - Video / Action for roomies perhaps?

[yakuza_otaku]

[Video]

[The video flicks on to reveal a young-ish looking lady, perhaps in her late teens or very early twenties. Despite being an obvious new arrival, she seems fairly at ease with the situation.]

So... I don't have to fill out stacks of paperwork, right? I'd probably have something by now if this place was like that.

[A slight pause... is this really the time to reminisce about that other place? No, not really.]

A-anyway! I'm Kazumi Hagino, it's nice to meet you. [she bows a little as she gives her introduction]

I was wondering if anybody could point me toward the portal back home? I'd like to help out, really, but there's some things back home that I really need to take care of right now...

((Kazumi's roomies can find her lounging around in the living room, playing around with her netbook))

[Tenshi knew this one. The paperwork comment was a dead giveaway, too. Of course, Tenshi was also Tenshi]

My, an earth-crawling human. I could show you the way to the exit, if you want to.

[yakuza_otaku]

[A small pause. She's happy to see Tenshi, but-]

Is that the first time you've actually called me that?

[peachhat]

Huh? No, I'm pretty sure I called you that in Conf-

...

[yakuza_otaku]

If you did, I really don't remember, ahaha...

[peachhat]

You really should stop ruining my efforts.

[yakuza_otaku]

What did I ruin?

[ aaaaction! ]

[thleepy]

[ Nik had woken up from his nap thirsty, so he'd gone into the kitchen for a juicebox. It was only after he'd gotten one and started on the way back to his room that he noticed the new arrival. Nik blinked, and wandered over to stare at her with wide blank eyes. ]

Excuse me, miss. Are you one of Loiec's friends?

[ aaaaction! ]

[yakuza_otaku]

[There's a pause-wait, she's seen stranger, right? Right.]

Sorry, I don't know who Loiec is...? I was just assigned this room.

[thleepy]

Ohhh. Loiec's our other roommate, and you're a new roommate!

[ And with that Nik goes over and plops himself right down on the floor in front of her. He drinks from his juicebox and stares at her veeeery thoughtfully. He sticks a tiny hand out to her. ]

I'm Nikolai. Nice to meet you, miss.

[yakuza_otaku]

[Kazumi accepts his hand, giving it a small shake.]

Kazumi Hagino. Nice to meet you, too, Nikolai.

I haven't had the chance to meet Loiec yet... ... ah, well, that's obvious, huh?

[thleepy]

I dunno where he is. He'll probably come back eventually....

[ Nikolai took another drink before a new question occurred to him. ]

Where are you from, Miss Kazumi?

[action! no lights or camera though]

[noble_sin]

[Loiec is kind of awkward, the way he stumbles in under a stack of bags of random things - over-the-counter medicines, roughly gathered herbs and natural plants, jumbles of chemistry and apothecary equipment... it's all a bit much on his slender frame, with barely his eyes visible over the top of the pile.]

Ah--! Ehm.

((also, plz to be seeing this thing))

[action! aw but it'd be a blockbuster smash hit :o ]

[yakuza_otaku]

Hello.

[she certainly notices the load he has]

... did you need help with that?

[noble_sin]

I am—

[he teeters, galumphs over, and then makes a very silly sight as he stands on one leg and tries to open the door to the bedroom that's his with a foot]

I am fine, demoiselle. [he seems a bit awkwardly perturbed about there suddenly being this new person there. ...even if he's been kind of missing entirely for several days at a time.]

[yakuza_otaku]

If you say so, but...

[Still, she starts to come over...]

... maybe I should open the door for you, at least?
