[Oh hey, here's a new face, and one who looks like she'd rather be doing things that don't involve broadcasting over a public network. It's one thing to be on stage together with the rest of u's, it's another to be... talking like this on her own.

But okay, she can do this! ... Maybe. Maybe not. Actually, she kind of wants to go crawl into a hole and hide.]

Um...! My name is Koizumi Hanayo, and I just arrived earlier today. I think... I think I understand what's going on, j-just a little? But I'm also wondering...

[Deep breaths!! Just a little more and she can shut this thing off.]

I-I'm looking for some friends of mine... there's a lot, so I guess if anyone could tell me where at least two of them are, I'd really appreciate it! Their names are Hoshizora Rin and Nishikino Maki- they're first years like I am- I, I can describe them too if you'd like...?

[Muse had been paying attention to the network when she has the time, looking for newcomers just in case more people she knows would show up. Seeing Hanayo triggered her desire to help, as the young woman looks like they're about to melt]

Ah, hello Koizumi-san! Welcome to Genessia.

[Muse lead with that, hoping to reassure the poor girl]

My name is Muse. Uhm, I've been here only for a few weeks. But please let me help you.

[kayochin]

Muse... ah! Like the goddesses? [Forgive her if she suddenly seems excited to learn your name! She has strong feelings for it with it being the name of the school idol group she belonged to not that long ago.]


Um... t-thank you, though. I don't need to know much, I promise! I-I'm just hoping... maybe I can find some of my friends.

[watertricks]

Ah, I'm not a goddess or anything. I'm a fairy.

[Muse tilts her head, smiling gently. She redirected the conversation back to the subject of the other u's members]

But, uhm, I never heard your friends' names on the Network while I was browsing the public messages. They could still be here...! Don't get discouraged, Koizumi-san!

[kayochin]

[!! A fairy! So they really exist? That's certainly exciting news!

... Up until Muse tells her that she hasn't heard from Rin or Maki. Well, that's. Disappointing, to say the least, but Hanayo tries not to let it show..... and is kind of failing terribly.]

I, I won't... m-maybe they just haven't seen this yet?

I can't say I know where your friends are, but if I see them, I can tell you-- um, I wouldn't mind if you described them to me first, though.

[ She says all of this a little awkwardly, a little sheepishly. ]

Oh-! Right, my name is Sakura Chiyo, it's nice to meet you!

Thank you... u-um, Rin-chan is really energetic, and very... catlike? She really likes cats, and sometimes she uses cat puns when she speaks, or meows.

Maki-chan... um, well, she tries to seem unapproachable a lot, but she's actually pretty nice... t-though she always tries to deny it when people point it out! She's also good at playing the piano, and composes the music for our songs.

Ah, I guess I should say welcome. I'm Yugi Mutou.

[He is thinking about the names and if he heard them around here. But nothing sprung to mind right away.]

But as for your friends, I don't think I have heard of them around here. That either means they haven't used this yet or they aren't here.

If you friends are around, maybe we could go look for them.

[Hikari was one to want to help, especially with new commoners these days, so long as they let her.]

That's if you want to of course.

[watertricks]

Maybe! Yes!

[Muse nods reassuringly, though she is worried for Hanayo being here all on her own. Muse was lucky enough to have Salama here, but the brief time she thought she was alone was tough even for a minute]

Could you describe them to me? I run by many people daily, so if I see them at the park or in Nova City, I would tell them about your arrival.

[nofoodfights]

I can't say that I've heard of either one of them but I will certainly keep an eye out for them, miss.

[kayochin]

Um, yes! Rin-chan is very energetic, and she talks like a cat sometimes... she doesn't see herself as very girly, but I think she's one of the girliest people I know. She really likes ramen, too, so you might find her eating it a lot...

Maki-chan... might not seem like it, but she's a good friend when you get to know her! She acts distant and 'cool' a lot, but she and Rin-chan helped me out a lot- it was because of them that I became a school idol. Um... sometimes, she gets embarrassed easily, too, and she's good at playing the piano.

Only if it's not any trouble to you... I-I'd really appreciate it, though.

[kayochin]

Thank you... I hope to find them soon.

[Well, she's starting to have her doubts that they're here, but maybe she hasn't searched hard enough.]

[kayochin]

Thank you... I'm hoping that it's the first one, but I guess it's more likely they aren't here, huh...?

video;

[sizedoesntmatter]

It's likely, but one shouldn't give up hope right away.

[Took him around a week to believe that his friends weren't here himself.]

[eighthchild]

It's no trouble at all. I enjoy helping people if they need it after all.

[She was already walking while they were talking.]

So what are your friends like anyway?

[nofoodfights]

You seem rather worried. Are you close with them?

[kayochin]

Everyone in u's is important to me, but I've known Rin-chan ever since I was little, and she and Maki-chan have both helped me a lot...

[nofoodfights]

Ah... I see. They sound dear to you.
