 Greetings and salutations, Genessia~! Satou Kuroneko, speaking! I'm sorry for being quiet for so long.

I finally got myself a job! I'll be working as a detective in Everglade from here on out. Should you need any assistance there, you are welcome to inform me. My magic is all kinds of useful and I promise to do my best for everyone~!

That said...

How do we find roommates here? Or are we supposed to live alone? It seems like such a waste of space to be all by myself.

[more like, Satou doesn't want to go back to living by herself. She may be putting on a bright and cheerful act, but she's absolutely heartbroken right now. It's been a month and no one from her home as come to Genessia... It's sinking in that she's alone again.]

Most people either choose to live alone or live with people they know. It's why I find it hard to find a roommate.

Though if you are working in Everglade, then maybe see who lives there, but if you don't want to live there I always have a spare room.

Congratulations on the job. I have a couple people I know who work there, I'm sure you will meet them.

[SPARE ROOM???

Like... an offer... t-to be roommates? Oh no, she has to play it cool...! Satou doesn't want to let it show that she is desperate and lonely and hates being by herself. If all of that showed, people might wonder why she's alone all of the time and realize she's a bad news weirdo.]

Whaaat a spare room? I-I uh... Never heard of such a thiiing, wow, um.

But no. Everglade is creepy as heck and I don't wanna live here.

[priceofmagic]

Really? I hope I can get along with them! What are they like?

I want to be sure I leave a good first impression..!

[brbgettingwrench]

Well one of them will probably show you pictures of his daughter and be like your best friends.

The other well... Admittedly I don't know too much, but what I do know is he is someone who... how do I put it... [She paused if for a moment.] very goal driven and while he might not make it obvious he can care for people.

[ivegotadream]

Most of the apartments seem to come with two bedrooms, so with my being by myself, I have a spare which right now I've been using to store things.

[She tilted her head slightly.]

Yet you work there. Besides not all of them are creepy.

Congratulations.

I'm glad you found something you enjoy. [It'll be nice seeing someone that he sort of knows around Everglade.] If you need any assistance, you're welcome to call me.

[priceofmagic]

Thank you~! But you don't need to worry too much. I'm getting the hang of the spooks here!

[priceofmagic]

[Someone she knows, yay...! Satou tries to restrain her grin and maintain a professional smile, not a goofy grin.]

Nice to meet you formally, Detective Mustang~! Let's do our best together! My magic can be quite useful, so I hope you aren't opposed to it. We can't submit it in court, but it still has other uses.

[priceofmagic]

Well, the people are okay so far... I don't like fog and mist...

Even if it's really useful for magic. It's like a horror movie set sometimes.

[priceofmagic]

A BEST FRIEND?

[Lonely child is PINGED... Oh right. Be subtle. Ahem and smile professionally.]

I-I see. I'll have to keep calm and professional than. Gotta help him get all his work done! [She beams a smile again,] So you're friends with detectives? That must be reassuring!

[priceofmagic]

Yes! I look forward to seeing your alchemy in action!

I will have to give you a magic demonstration before I need to use it in the field. It would be better if we became familiar with each other's tactics before any need to use them comes up.

[brbgettingwrench]

Yeah, I mean some people I knew back home had some connection to the military. Not all but some.

[She paused for a moment before nodding.]

It is reassuring though, to have people looking out for me, especially since I am not a fighter, nor would I want to be.

[priceofmagic]

[Her obnoxious energy subsides slightly at that revelation. Not being a fighter, nor wanting to be... It's the kind of thought that fills her with equal happiness and loneliness.]

Mm. I'm sure that makes them glad. Having someone to protect makes it all worth it.

[Satou shakes his head slightly, trying to dismiss her boys from her memory.] Military connections must be hard too. I know that Shugo used to always get upset with me when I left for jobs and couldn't say when I was coming back.

[ivegotadream]

Is fog and mist scary? How come?

I've never sen a horror movie.

[draconixaviarix]

Oh! I got this, I was just told by a friend of mine!

[clears her throat]

To get a roommate you have to find a job..and then you have to find friends.

Do you have friends? Yes or no?

[brbgettingwrench]

It can be, I mean never knowing when someone is going to come back. But here, it's very different because if they don't you can just go and find them.

[unbridledtiger]

[He's going to worry anyway.]

I believe you.

[priceofmagic]

Thank you for that too~!

I'm gonna do my best. I'll try to keep things orderly here, so you won't have to stretch yourself too thin. You can count on Magical Girl Detective Satou, okay?

[priceofmagic]

I guess that's true, huh? [Satou sighs longingly.] Everyone here is so nice, but I wish my friends were here too... If they knew I was in a strange place without them, they would be so hurt. Not being able to help your friends is painful.

[priceofmagic]

[WHY WOULD YOU ASK IT SO BLUNTLY???

...... nnnyoo. [She will not cry! Satou is not lonely! Kuroneko Satou has no reason to ever be sad or lonely!

She shakes her head.]

Except! Well... I have my Pokemon. But Shooey is too big to fit in a house.

[priceofmagic]

keep it that way.

Fog and mist make it harder to see, you know? And it gets chilly, so you automatically have goosebumps... and soundwaves can bounce off the water droplets and make little noises into bigger noises. It can be scary when you're alone.

[draconixaviarix]

[oh what a neat sound she made]

Too big..is Shooey a dragon? Er..no, you said Pokemon..

[pauses]

..Pokemon...is that another word for dragon, too?

[priceofmagic]

No no. Pokemon are like... hm.

[She takes out her three Pokeballs, because showing is better than telling. Pretty soon, she has an Espurr on her shoulder and a Kirlia at her side... and in the background, stretching her wings, is an Aerodactyl.]

Shooey is too big for the apartmeent.

[draconixaviarix]

[the softest gasp ever, accompanied with widened eyes]

A dragon-! [Hana pointed, but paused]

..Yes, these apartments are awfully small. But regardless! They could be the friends that could be your roommates, right?

Or do they need jobs too?
