[ Since, the pamphlet mentioned trying out this videophone thing after leaving the Bay, he decided to do just that. Mayu is sitting on the ground as close to the city's entrance as possible without blocking anyone's way.]

new here
hi

- Mayu Nozaki

[ He figures this text is enough to get his point across if anyone wants to help get him settled. It would be much easier than trying things on his own. He added his name in case someone he knew was around.]

[nrgsvr]

[ He's doing well for being taken away from everything he knows. The pamphlet really helped. ]

ok

so far

[ Starting a new life takes a lot of work, which he really isn't looking forward to.]

Text

[notsoholyspirit]

are you still by the bay ?

[There is a notable pause between his last message and this one, as if he's stopped to think.]

can we use audio ? im not good at typing

video

[nrgsvr]

Video's easier.

[ If he has to talk, he might as well go all the way. Showing his location is more efficient than describing it. He confirms that he's in the city, not too far from the bay. The camera pans at what he figures are suitable landmarks. Also, Spirit can tell what Mayu looks like this way.]

[On his end of the feed, Spirit is looking appropriately relieved.]

Thanks. I don't have experience with those keyboards. It takes me forever.

Are you okay? I can show you the way into the city, if you need help.

[ Getting lost is a specialty of Last Order's, but at least this time she has a videophone to communicate with! She's been wandering around when she hears it make a sound. She checks and -- oh look! A text! Her little fingers type away eagerly at this first sign of life since she's arrived. ]

Hi! ヾ(＾∇＾)

Are you lost too? (´･ω･｀)

[nrgsvr]

no

[ He knows exactly where he is. He's pretty sure he can find his way around the city if he really tries, at least to the apartments.The required effort is daunting.]

not yet

[ He doesn't discount the possibility of getting lost. This whole situation is illogical. Anything can go wrong.]

(￣3￣);; Really? Then only Misaka is lost! Uguu...

[ After a bit of fiddling with the pamphlet, she sends another message. ]

Now Misaka is hungry. Where is there food? Misaka imposes on you and looks to you for guidance.

[nrgsvr]

Check street signs

[ He was hoping that someone would help and do all the work for him. Now he has to try to find this other newcomer.]

find u

[ Hopefully, someone would take pity on the two of them]

text

[last_order]

Misaka is on Maple Avenue.

[ She offers only one street, but it's safe to say she hasn't drifted far from the Bay area. ]

Misaka awaits praise for her observation skills!

[ A child her age ought to be able to do at least this... ]

Hi there Mayu.

I'm Yuna. Since you mentioned your new have you thought about looking for a new apartment yet? Usually it's a good first step next to finding work.

text;

[nrgsvr]

key?

[ The flier said the pamphlet had an apartment key. Isn't that enough for now? ]

ugh wrk

[ With that one word, the horror of his situation sinks in. His family likely isn't around to take care of him.He'll have to take on adult responsibilities. That's scary enough for middle schoolers who aren't lazy.]

;;

[ He isn't actually crying, but that's the simplest way to convey how upset he is.]

text;

[gullwingsgunner]

Is everything okay? I don't actually understand what you are saying.

text/vid

[nrgsvr]

2 much 2 do

[ With a sigh he switches to video, since it's easier than typing put everything he needs to say. Now, his distress is obvious.]

The flier mentioned a key in the envelope? Won't that do for now?

[ He's just a middle schooler. He's not ready to get a job.]

[gullwingsgunner]

[She gives a small nod.]

Yes, but it's not technically free forever. Rent and such needs to be paid after I believe the first month.

[This was much easier than texting when she had no idea what on Spira he was saying.]

[soldierofloveandbeauty]

hi Mayu, the new person.

I'm Minako Aino, business owner and expert of love. How can I help you?

text;

[nrgsvr]

hi Minako

help w/ setlng in

[ Her self proclaimed title interests him, since his big brother proudly boasts something similar.]

big bro = expert of love

[ He copied and pasted from Minako's text.]

text;

[soldierofloveandbeauty]

What exactly does w/setlng in actually mean?

Are you implying I'm a man or something?

video

[nrgsvr]

[ He has too much to say to keep up with text. He switches to video. Maybe Minako can forgive his rudeness, since he's revealed his good looks.]

I could use some help with settling in.

My older brother is a mangaka. All his works are touching and romantic. He's received positive reviews over his insight into the hearts of girls.

[ which is why he sees his brother as a love expert]

video

[soldierofloveandbeauty]

I'll be happy to help.

[She was pretty close to sparkling at the mention of his brother being a mangaka.]

Oh really. I can't say if I've seen any of his work or not though sadly, but it would be something I would like to see.

[whiteas]

Well you're talkative.

[nrgsvr]

:P

[ That's all he has to say.]

text;

[whiteas]

That's rude! I was thinking of helping, but if you're going to be like that, you're on your own.

Re: text;

[nrgsvr]

[He didn't get that impression, since her response started with sarcasm. Brattiness is totally appropriate.]

[whiteas]

[ That's just how she is. ]

Yes, really!
