Nico Nico Ni~! Hello, everyone! It's me, Nico Yazawa, your #1 top idol! It seems someone is playing a prank on your poor, trusting Nico Nico~. I don't know where I am and it's so cold~~. Can anyone help me out? 

[action]



"What kind of isekai crap IS THIS? Is this a dream? A reality TV show?!"

[Immediately after her broadcast, before she has had a chance to check the responses, Nico is strolling the streets of Genessia. She is  shivering, but her frustration helps her block out the mental cold. Making the broadcast in her Nico Persona will hopefully confirm if this really is another world. If it's a bad joke, then she's sure some fan will reach out to her. If no one recognizes her, though...]

"This can't be happening... I have siblings to look after. A-And practice to--"

[Her voice dies down. Because no. She doesn't have idol activities anymore. She has graduated High School and can't be a school idol anymore. Nico's shoulders sink and she groans. Opening her clenched fist, she stares down at the key in her palm.]

"Well. Better find out where this key goes. What could go wrong, right? Better than freezing to death like an idiot."

Those particular apartments are a little further down from here. They're well furnished but tiny, designed to make you uncomfortable and seek out employment and better lodging. You only get a month there, anyway.

[ Noah had already spent her month, and was now looking for employment.

It has been a while since she'd seen a human from the 'outside world' so to speak. She recognizes the look of people who don't recognize magic. Just to further confound her, the slimy blue girl shifts to a slightly more natural form, though her dress is still blue and slimy. ]

Would you like a coat? You don't look equipped for dealing with the cold.

[nico_puri]

[If she takes a coat from you, will it be slimy? Nico is suspicious and about to put up resistance until she sneezes.]

Uh... ugh. Yeah, I should find a coat. Can't perform if I'm sick.

[Nico resigns herself to the fact that yes, okay, she needs some help here. But one thing about that explanation is bothering Nico especially,]

That sounds like absolutely normal real life, though. Get a job so you can have an apartment... What kind of isekai is this? It's not gonna sell.

[erinoah]

[ With her magic, Noah produces a long shawl Nico can wrap around herself. It's not slimy, formed by magic, and it is very effective at keeping the chill away despite its appearance. ]

It'll disappear after a day or two, so get yourself a proper coat.

[ That last sentence, however, made no sense to her whatsoever. ]

Isekai?

[nico_puri]

Oh. Thanks.

[She tugs slightly at the shawl, admiring how it's... definitely real. So she's really not having a weird dream...]

Ah. Haha. Isekai is a genre of tv shows back home. They're all about people mysterrriously ending up in another world.

[erinoah]

TV huh? Sounds interesting.

[ She looked thoughtful for a moment. ]

By the way, what's your opinion on bunnies?

[nico_puri]

Bunnies?

[She's a bit taken aback by the strange question. Then, deciding it's the safest answer:]

I love bunnies! I love all animals. They warm Nico's heart~. Why?

[erinoah]

It's a personal quest, but Noah thinks there's not enough bunnies in this world.

Some have told me they're around, others say there isn't. In my looking around, I haven't really seen any.

If you spot any, you'll let me know, right?

[nico_puri]

[It dawns on Nico that maybe this is the only bunny girl in Genessia. Which, to her, says a lot about how randomized the summoning practices are here. ]

No one else here has ears like you? That can't be. They're such a great trait.

[erinoah]

Alas, I haven't seen a single bunny girl.

I'll even take regular bunnies at this rate, even if I am already fond of them, too.

[nico_puri]

Not even regular bunnies? That's really weird...

Well. [She tugs at the shawl, reminding herself it's there.]

You did me a favor. Keeping my eyes peeled for bunnies is the least I can do.

[erinoah]

You.

[ Noah allows herself a slightly lopsided grin. ]

I like you.

Nico, was it? We'll keep in touch.

[nico_puri]

Yeah, you too.

Thanks for the shawl. I'll find a coat soon.
