[ TEXT&VIDEO ]

[ Initially, Rika was surprised to receive a tablet. It was even more surprising to her when she opened it up to see a keyboard and several options on the screen. She was never really technology savvy, especially since she came from a rural village like Hinamizawa. Typing was never taught in her classes, but she managed to type out a message in text! All with one finger. It took her awhile, but the hard work paid off. ]

hello. my name is furude rika. i am from hinamizawa village located in shishibone city in japan. i am looking for some friends of mine.

[ Typing with one finger is taking far too long for her. It takes her a few minutes, but suddenly she switches the post to video (after submitting part of her text message.) A small girl with long blue hair, about nine or ten, turns up on screen. She sighs, scratching her head for a moment and seeming a little frustrated having to work with the tablet. ]

Their names are Satoko, Keiichi, Mion, Shion, and Rena. If anyone has run into anyone that goes by those names, please let me know.

[ There's an awkward pause. She doesn't know what else she should say or ask for. Finding her friends is all she can think about. Before long, she bows her head. ]

...thank you.

[ ACTION ]

[ Rika is running around the city, desperately calling out for somebody. She's wearing a large jacket over the simple dress she arrived in. It's a little big for her, like she just bought it without too much thought. ]

Hanyuu...! Hanyuuuuu...! Where are you?!

[ Strangely, "Hanyuu" wasn't listed amongst the people in her video post. Rika thought it would be strange for her to mention the name of her not-so-imaginary friend someone she can only see.

If you suddenly meet eye contact with her or if she notices you staring, she'll suddenly fall quiet, embarrassed, and briskly start trying to walk the opposite direction. ]

[ ooc: Feel free to respond to her in video or run into her around the city. Roommates, feel free to start an action post in their room. ]

action; OOPS FORGOT THIS

[revolutionized]

[Utena had been somewhere inbetween anxious and bored during her time here, but her recent poking around on the network had left her feeling more optimistic, at least as far as entertainment went.

She's in the city today, searching around for an open area large enough to house a makeshift baseball field or basketball court. Utena makes a detour in the Marketplace during the course of her little expedition — some of the merchants know her by name, and seem happy enough to make small talk. She's just finished up a purchase, when a girl's voice catches her attention.]

Geez, you're kinda loud. [It's stated more as a statement of fact than an insult, but politeness kicks in a second later when she notes how young this girl looks.] D'you need help looking for someone?

[ That yelling is hard to miss, even for someone with other things on their mind. Sayaka's taking a break from training to grab something to eat when she spots (hears, really) Rika, and she blinks. ]

Hanyuu...? [ It's not like she's much older, but the idea of just letting this kid run around alone doesn't sit right with Sayaka - not bothering to change out of her magical girl outfit, she runs after her. ] Hey, wait up!

[gentle]

[well, the natural thing to do when one sees a child running around, screaming an unrecognizable name is to see if they're alright. it takes a lot of inward encouragement ('just do it N, if you don't no one else will, it's just talking to a child!'), but eventually (reluctantly) he approaches the girl.]

You seem lost.

[he hopes he isn't too awkward, even though he knows he probably is...]

C: Roommate perks

[unlikelyrebel]

[The lady had explained a lot about what was going on, but it's an awful lot to sink in. So while Rinoa tries to figure out just what's going on and how it applies to her personally, she's also trying to figure out this strange communicator that she was given. Computers never have been one of her strengths after all.]

[She's not so caught up in the device to keep from ignoring that she's not the only one in this place though, so after a moment she gives up on the device and goes to introduce herself.]

Hey, looks like we're roommates, huh? I'm Rinoa.

PERMA ACTION hello roomy u///u

[redemptio]

[that was a good trip to the library, yes. Rosalyn & Solomon return to their room to see it occupied by someone else! finally she has a roommate!]

Why hello there. Are you staying in this room with me?

action.

Who the hell are you shouting for? Can't you just call? It works a lot faster.
