[Oh look, there's a sweet looking, blue-eyed teenage girl on the feed right now.]

Hello, everyone. I was told it would be a good idea for me to introduce myself, though...I'm not sure how to, really. I'm very bad at first impressions, I'm afraid. [A rueful smile.] I'm Naminé. Do many people know Riku and Kagami? I'm from their world, so you might see me with them from now on. I'd very much like to meet any of their friends.

[After a bit of hesitation, she adds:]

Also, if there are any artists watching this, I'd like to hear what shops you go to for supplies. Riku says I can actually choose my own things now, so... [A tiny little smile.] I want to try spoiling myself a bit.

[dualismum]

I know both of them.

Hello, Naminé, I'm Haise Sasaki. Welcome to this world. and I can give you a list of art stores - I haven't drawn in a while, but I still know some places. [ and he will be sensing her the address of several shops ]

[redigere]

Nice to meet you, Haise. [She visibly perks up, scanning the addresses he sends. She'll have to ask Riku where they are later.]

Thank you so much! Though I'm sorry you haven't drawn in a while. Everyone here seems to keep very busy...

[performance]

You seem just fine at first impressions to me. [ He smiles, going for reassuring. ] Dick Grayson. Nice to meet you, Naminé.

[ "Choosing my own things" is such a strange way of putting it, he can't help but ask, in a roundabout way... ]

Um, what kind of art did you do?

[redigere]

[A self-conscious laugh.] Thank you, Dick. I'm glad I did better this time around. And it's nice to meet you too.

[She has to pause a little to think on how to word this without sounding absolutely insane.]

The art I did before...I did it to help a friend. It was important, and took a long time to finish. Even though I would do it all over again for him-- in the end, it was for him. Now for the first time, I have a chance to make art for me. I even get to choose what I use to make it. [She flushes.] Does that make sense?

[resipiscent]

[He's out on his work run currently, so he'll reply over the comm.]

Let me know when you want to go for your supplies. You get any tips?

[redigere]

Yes, from someone named Haise. He said he knows you and Kagami. Oh-- and any time is fine. You look busy, Riku.

Greetings, Namine.

[The tall, caped, white-haired man smiling at her in the video sounds an awful lot like Ansem with his deep voice.]

I am Count Dooku, and in my opinion you make a fine first impression. I do know both Riku and Kagami. I think I am fortunate enough to call them friends.

[redigere]

[The Ansem-like voice is a little disconcerting, but she wants to keep making a good impression so she smiles-- at first just politely but then with a little bit more warmth.]

It's very nice to meet you. I hope we can be friends too.

[redigere]

[A pause.]

May I ask a question?

[timecapture]

You know Riku? He's a friend of mine! I'm Max.

I generally go to [insert store here] for my art supplies, but you also might want to check online.

[redigere]

It's nice to meet you, Max! [She makes a note of the store's name and then pauses.]

Online? You can buy things on the computer?

[monge]

I like to buy my crayons at the dollar store, zura~

[If that's not spoiling yourself, he's not sure what is.]

[redigere]

[Oh, a little Moogle-like talking creature! Now this feels a little more familiar.]

Oh, crayons! It's been a while since I've used them. Thank you for the good idea. Do they have big packs of them at the dollar store?

[23wishes]

Wait a minute, you know Riku? He's one of my best friends here! You should have mentioned that sooner!

[redigere]

I'm sorry, I didn't think to. But yes, I'm from his world. Or-- well. One of the worlds he visited, at least.

[huntergames]

I am not an artist, but I know where to get glitter and other things.

[ A mature nineteen year old. Artist she is not, but fooling around with art supplies? She's good at that. ]

[redigere]

Oh, I haven't tried using glitter before. I'd like to try. Where can I find it?

( video )

[drizzle]

[The moment she notices one of the new arrivals speaking with such a sweet, almost timid way, it will definitely catch her attention. It didn't help that she found the young girl to be very beautiful as well. Almost like a doll type of beauty, it reminded her of Luna for a split second.]

I think it was a very good idea to introduce yourself in this way! Definitely one of the best ways to make a very good first impression is by showing that you have an honest and very sweet face.

It's nice to meet you, Naminé. My name is Nike Lemercier. We have friends in common. How are you enjoying your stay so far? Did you just arrived?

[redigere]

[Sweet? Honest? Really?]

Ah, um. Thank you. And it's nice to meet you too, Miss Nike. [Cue a flustered little nod. Talking with Aerith was different since Naminé already kind of knows her, but talking with a lady like Nike is a little intimidating...how does she act?]

I've been here for a few days already, actually! I've been trying to get used to being here...but it's been nice so far.

[voicelessresistance]

You seem to be settling in well.

[ooc: Want to say their test drive thread happened in-game?]

video

[redigere]

Oh, hello Miss Red! Yes, I'm doing fine. I was lucky to meet some of my friends here. What about you?

[ooc: Sure thing! I'll just assume that they gave their names to each other before one of them had to run off or something :>]

[historiology]

I know Riku better. But it's great to meet another one of his friends! I'm not sure if I should say 'welcome' exactly, but hi. I'm Sorey.

[He figures text is safest for now, unless he is certain they could see and/or hear seraphim at least.]

text

[redigere]

Thank you for the welcome either way. It's nice to meet you, Sorey. I'm glad that Riku has made so many friends here. Almost everyone I've talked to knows him!

[dejerate]

So you know Kagami too?

[Seems like a couple people from their home are showing up lately. Well, Mika showing up was enough for Yuu so maybe this would cheer Kagami and Riku up too.]


But I wouldn't know on art stuff. I'm sure there's a shop for that somewhere though.

[redigere]

Yes. He and I have been through a lot together. [Definitely an "it's complicated" kind of relationship.]

A lot of people have recommended places, so I think I'll be fine. I guess now it's just a matter of going and buying things. [A sideways glance at the rest of her messy, messy room.] After I finish here...

[darkimitation]

[He's a little miffed she's talking so much about Riku, it makes his stomach turn slightly. So he tries to be the better one for her.]

I'll get you anything you want, Naminé. Just ask me.

[redigere]

[A little laugh.]

Then, can you help me move this desk? If you're not busy? You're taking classes, right?

[Video]

[renamaer]

[Have a cheery waving girl in your communicator screen, Naminé.] It's nice to meet you, Naminé! I'm Estellise. I met Kagami last month, but I haven't met Riku yet. Welcome. I look forward to meeting you in person sometime.

[Yeah she's the gross optimistic type...]

If you're looking for art supplies, I've had good luck shopping in Nonah. There's one near my workplace even. What kind of things do you like to use, though?

[redigere]

[Naminé waves back shyly. All of the girls she's talked to are so beautiful and mature, she's really amazed.]

It's nice to meet you, Estellise, and thank you. I hope we can meet soon too.

[She fumbles a bit for a nearby list.]

Oh, um-- just some basics. Sketchbooks and colored pencils and good quality erasers. I was also interested in some paint. I've never used it before, but I was thinking it would be nice to decorate my walls somehow...

[valuemeal]

[ Hyunsoo wouldn't exactly call himself a friend or anything, but he does recognize Riku's name - which is what draws his attention enough to reply. ]

If you're from that guy's world, then you must have seen some weird stuff.

[ .. even if that's what he chooses to focus on. But it's true, okay, Riku's world sounds weird as shit. ]

[redigere]

[Blink.]

Um. Hello. Yes, I am. And yes, I suppose there's a lot of 'weird stuff' there. There's magic, which doesn't seem to be something every world has...
