Hello everyone! My name is Yui Kusanagi, it's nice to meet you. [ Polite bowing as best as she can on video while holding the video camera. The background appears to be the shrine. ]

I have a question! I already got a job and rented an apartment the other day. I got in and put my things down and went to get groceries, but by the time I came back um....

[ The video shifts to Attleton's.. labyrinth problem. This isn't the first day she's checked on it, but she's kind of tired of waiting and Yui's not exactly sure what to do about this. And she's definitely got the sense not to enter it. ]

I've been staying at the shrine where I've been working the past few days, but it'd be nice to be able to get home. Does anyone have any idea when this is going to clear up? Or.. how?

[ She turns it back to her. ]

Also, does anyone know where I can get some iaido equipment?

A pleasure to meet you, Yui. Unfortunately, it seems you've arrived at a rather...unfortunate time.

[Have a rather stressed looking City Guardian.]

The maze isn't entirely safe, so if you are able to avoid it until it has been resolved, that may be wise. I have reason to believe there are monsters stalking the place.

I'm working to try and clear up this mess, but so far have had no luck. I do apologise about this.

Thank you, Mr... [ She doesn't know who he is, though he must be important, since he sounds like he's being very responsible. And he also looks really stressed. The mayor maybe? ]

I'll try to keep staying at the shrine until then. Let me know if there's anything I can do from the outside. I'll help in any way I can. Are you okay?

[beautifulmidboss]

Vyers. Dark Adonis, Vyers. I am the Guardian of Attleton City.

[Mayor's not too far off, admittedly. At least someone thinks he's sounding responsible.]

That might be wise, at least until the worst is over. Thank you for the offer, I will let you know if there is anything you can do.

...I will be alright, once this has cleared itself up.

Oh! It's nice to meet you- [ Which part of that should she call him. Is Vyers is first name? What if Dark Adonis is his last name? Or is it a title. Vyers sounds like the first name and she doesn't want to be rude, so.. umm.. ]

Adonis-san? [ Maybe she was just used to gods names, after all.. ] Is that okay to call you?

[ She nods. ] I'll pray for your safety at the shrine unless you need anything else. That's the least I can do.

Oh, you're working at the shrine? It's great to hear someone's taking care of it.

[Izanami was just walking to her night-shift, so at least looked human for now.]

For Iaido equipment... the shops in Genessia City would be the best place to start.

[Video]

[vinculo]

There's someone else working here as a Spirit Guide, but I'm going to be trying my best as a Shrine Caretaker. I have experience from home, so I hope I meet everyone's expectations.

[ She nods. ]

Do you know where the nearest sports shop is or should I just see about getting a map? I wasn't sure if they sold Japanese martial arts equipment here or not.

[Video]

[goddessinthefog]

So I heard. Well, I wish you the best of luck. You worked at a Shrine before coming here?

[Izanami studied her own map a moment.]

There should be a sports shop in that Hamete Strip Mall, it has plenty of specialist shops. That's located at Willow Avenue and 9th Street.

I grew up at one, actually. My father is a Shinto priest, so our whole family is pretty entrenched in it. My brothers are the ones who are going to inherit the shrine, but I know the ins and outs pretty well.

Ah! Thank you for the address. That'll be really helpful.

[deadcenter]

Iaido?

[well now that interests him.] That's some cool stuff you're talkin' about, you a master of some kind?

video;

[vinculo]

A-ah, I wouldn't call myself a master, but I've been practicing for some time and I make sure to do so every day. I don't quite measure up to Takeru-san.

[ That might be because Takeru is Susanoo and is a millenia old god, so it's literally impossible for her to get up to that level... ]

video;

[deadcenter]

C'mon, if you say you'll never measure up to someone then you definitely won't! Be more confident than that, shit!

I wanna see what you're made of though, maybe I'll get to have some real fun with trainin' too. [even tho his branch of sin could cut her sword in half but WHATEVER.]

[graduations]

His circumstances are a little different is all..

[ Please don't kill her Senji. ]

It'd be fun to spar with you sometime once I get equipment then.

[ People to practice with? She won't say no to that! ]

[the_heroine]

[So she's the pure-hearted type. Mikoto smirks, using a tone of voice he saves for the girls he flirts with. He wants to see her get more flustered than he usually ends up being.]

If you're afraid, you could always hold onto me while we find what you're looking for.

[Video]

[graduations]

I'm not really afraid, but thank you for the offer.. I think holding onto a stranger might be a bit much, haha...

[ Sorry, Mikoto. She's also the occasionally oblivious type... ]

[Video]

[the_heroine]

[This is awkward. He's probably more embarrassed by Yui's oblivious response than she is. He scoffs under his breath, his face turning red.]

That's...you don't get it at all! How am I supposed to respond to that? The whole conversation flow is messed up now!!!

[How depressing. He thought he was better than that. Now fully humiliated, he curls up, the video showing nothing but a black screen while his groaning can be heard.]

[Video] THREADJACKING FRIEND!

[secretshoujoart]

Good answer. [ he's aiming that at Yui. he usually enjoys watching Mikoto talk to girls and getting ideas from that but not today! not when Mikoto should be focused on Mayu!! ]

You've stumped him. Now he'll explode from getting so embarrssed.

[firefandance]

I have to admit I didn't even know there was a shrine here. Perhaps I should come visit sometime.

[She did enjoy when she could go to one back home.]

video;

[graduations]

Mhm! It's on Thistle and 8th if you want to come visit. We'd be glad to have you.

video;

[firefandance]

I'll be happy to visit. Maybe I should go now while I still remember.

[divineliar]

That looks interesting, actually...

[Loki no.]

video;

[graduations]

From what I've heard people can't get out easily and there are monsters... I don't think it's that interesting that you should get involved, Loki-san.

[ You have limiters, boy. :T ]

video;

[divineliar]

Why not? It would definitely kill boredom.

[Or you, Loki. Or you.]

[energybends]

Sorry if everything's not too home-y. We should pick up actual beds at some point.

video;

[graduations]

Oh! Don't worry about it, I grew up at a shrine. My father's a Shinto priest. I actually feel pretty at home.

video;

[energybends]

Really? You'll have to tell me if I'm doing anything wrong. We don't have any Shinto priests back home. I'd hate to accidentally disrespect anything.
