((Whenever this one arrived, he's poking around a little, looking for flatmates, and hesitates a moment when he realizes that he has, in fact, found someone. But eventually he does come out.)) Excuse me?

Ah, I hope you're not busy, I just wanted to introduce myself quickly! My name's Aiichiro Nitori, I'll be rooming here as well. I hope we're able to get along while I'm here! ((He smiles.))

((Text))
hello everyone! my names aiichiro nitori, i come from samezuka, japan. if anyone knows it or lives there i'd very much like to speak with you, if that's alright!
i'm not sure what good it is to have someone like me in a place like this. i dont think being a first year and swimmer very much qualifies me for hero material in any way. and it isn't as if i'm particularly good for that matter either. it's strange. do they do this a lot?
but besides that, i'm really concerned about leaving my home so suddenly, and was wondering if anyone knew of a way that i could at least get in contact with my friends and family back home to let them know that i'm alright. i know at least some would be worried about me!
moreso i would like to return home, but... (/ _ ; ) it's probably right to guess they're not very forgiving in that regard

i've already written too much, but please! let me know how i can get ahold of my friends and family, if possible. and i hope that im able to help with whatever it is they are hoping of me (๑>ᴗ<๑)

Don't apologize. You've been pulled into a new place and a new situation out of nowhere with no prior agreement. I think anyone here would forgive you for just about any reaction you'd have.

[As long as you didn't, you know, go on a murder spree or set a house on fire or something.]

I'm new here as well so I don't know how much I'll be able to help you. My name is Kite.

[swimpai]

((Maybe next time on Free s3: Boys gone Bad.))

it's nice to meet you kite! （*´▽｀*）
i think that even if were both confused it is nice to know i'm not the only new person here. i was worried i might be all alone in this.

[onearmedbandit]

It seems new people are getting dragged here all the time. We're probably far from a strange sight.

[swimpai]

Is it really so often that people are brought here?

video.

According to the people I've talked to around here, there's no buggin' rhyme or reason to arrivals, qualified or otherwise. No way to contact home, and no way to leave by your own will. There's a chance of havin' friends here though. One of mine was, at least.

((Video??!?!?!?

'Cuse him while he looks extremely surprised, fumbles to change it to something less embarrassing, and flicks on audio instead.))

((okay ear pressed to phone now!!!)) Hello!

Ah, if you don't mind me asking, what do you mean by my own will? Would the same people who brought me here send me home as well?

audio

[gluestick]

[Rude! But Newt won't comment on it, some people don't like being seen or something. Annie had been like that, anyway.]

Nope. They apparently don't know how. Leavin' is random, so I've heard. Never actually seen it myself, though.

Re: audio

[swimpai]

Mmmm... That doesn't seem very fair to send people off randomly. Especially if someone were busy with something.

[Samezuka!! He reads the name again, remembers him as one of Rin's friends, the guy Nagisa is always excited about racing. He knows they don't know each other very well, but he can't just let this go.]

Nitori-san, I don't know if you remember me, but this is Ryugazaki Rei from Iwatobi. Are you alright? Did you find your house okay?

[First things first.]

Re: text;

[swimpai]

yes! i know you, you're iwatobi's butterfly swimmer, right? and friends with rin-senpai?

i found my new home alright, i'm there now. they were gracious enough to give me a ride there, which i'm glad for.

text;

[theoryandcalculation]

Yes, that's me. I'm glad you found it alright.

Unfortunately, there's no way to get a message home. But it's been explained to me that no one back home will even notice us missing because time seems to "stop," so you don't have to worry about them worrying about you.

((???!?!?! Wait but how can no one notice us being gone?! IS MY KOUHAI GAME TOO STRONG?! AM I REALLY THAT INSIGNIFICANT?!?!))

Hello Aiichiro Nitori. I am Ira Gamagori, Honnō City, previously the Disciplinary Committee Chair of Honnōji Academy. Currently, I am a Bootcamp Instructor for Cape Canaveral. It is good to meet you. I realize your concern and apprehension but do not fret! Your friends have a likelyhood of showing up here and accompanying you! That or your leave from this place could be sooner than you think. For now focus on what's at hand and try to not worry about what's instore for you at home. It will be waiting for you in due time!

[swimpai]

honnōji Academy? i don't think i've ever heard of it before.

i'm still not really sure what it is they have in store for me, either. i understand that I'm here to help, but beyond that...

[bulwank]

It may or may not have existed in your version of earth. Do not trouble yourself in trying to remember! It is best to keep in mind how many variations of Earth there are to the people brought here. You are not alone!

Beyond that nothing. Live your own life here! You owe nothing to these people unless you deem it so. Until then, get used to your new surroundings, form bonds, and establish yourself in society.

[standsproud]

A lot of people here seem to like swimming. Huh.

What're those little pictures in the text?

[swimpai]

It doesn't seem like it would be that surprising, I'd say. After all, lots of people love to swim just for fun; and it has some health benefits other sports can't offer.

Ah, they're Emoji. You've never seen them before?

[standsproud]

I mean really like it. Haven't met a lot of baseball fans.

Never. Nobody writes by text where I'm from.

[huntergames]

i am sorry but there isnt a way back besides the porter
who are your friends
maybe they are here

[swimpai]

well
i dont really have a lot of friends, but i am on the swim team at my school and have a few there, which is why i mentioned samezuka.
my roommate rin matsuoka is a very good friend of mine however. also his friends know me, theyre haruka nanase, makoto tachibana, nagisa hazuki, and rei ryugazaki; and also his sister, gou matsuoka.

[huntergames]

If Your Friends Are Here They Can Be Reached With the Same Device You Currently Hold
Otherwise The Gulf Of Space Is Far Too Wide To Be Crossed
Whether By Your Physical Self Or Just An Attempt At Contact

Luckily It Wont Matter Anyway
They Wont Even Know Youre Gone

[ yeah don't explain that just leave it sounding as callous as possible. a+ welcome, kanaya. ]

Re: text.

[swimpai]

i should like to hope my friends would notice if I left!

By The Time They Might Have Noticed Youll Have Returned Already
