[ backdated slightly to after this thread finishes. it's not finished yet. but we've pretty much agreed on how things're gonna go down.

in any case, there's a slightly less soaked redhead on the screen, looking none too pleased ... but also looking as though she had a point she was going to make.

which, she did. she had a purpose for getting on the network ... after ... having Pascal show her how to use this thing, of course. ]

U-Um ... hello.

[ laaaaame, Cheria. she clears her throat and tries again. ]

My friend and I have just arrived in this place, and It has come to my attention that our other friend, who has been here for a short time already, has been living on the streets during that time.

If we're going to be here indefinitely, how would I go about finding housing for my friends and I?

[ BECAUSE OBVIOUSLY, PASCAL WASN'T GOING TO ASK THIS QUESTION. and she had to take care of daughter Sophie, no matter what.

anyway, after asking that, Cheria seems a bit awkward. she awkwardly looks to the side, and then finally presses the button to shut the video feed off. ]

Just talk to whoever owns the apartments around here. [ Probably. She actually has no idea but you know. ]

[dreamchasing]

I was kind of hoping to get a name or location of someone I could talk to, actually. Thank you for your input, though?

[blastiaobsessieanonymous]

... I honestly would have to ask someone. A friend just brought me in and had me take a spare room in her apartment, so...

[dreamchasing]

That's fortunate ... I'm having to take care of two children instead of just one, it seems.

[blastiaobsessieanonymous]

Literal, or figurative?

[dreamchasing]

One literal, one figurative.

Though I suppose both of them could be figurative if it really came down to it.

[blastiaobsessieanonymous]

... Huh?

Both of them figurative?

[dreamchasing]

How to explain this ...

One of them is older than I am, yet acts like a child. She won't even take a regular bath! The other is ... complicated. For all intents and purposes, she may as well be a child. I want to do everything in my power to protect her.

... and I suppose I'll have to mother the other one as well, seeing as she won't take care of herself otherwise.

[Despite standing, y'know, a couple of feet away from her at most, Pascal is still replying via video feed.]

Aw, c'mon. There's nothing wrong with camping out!

[dreamchasing]

[ Cheria's making one of those dotdotdot faces at you, Pascal. ]

Hello, Pascal. I see you right there.

[ she loves you, really. ]

video / action;

[spelunky]

[Still facing the SFC:] I know, isn't it totally cool?

[She'll then look up and wave to her with a smile. 'sup Cheria!]

video / action;

[dreamchasing]

[ raising an eyebrow at you. Pascal, ilu, really. but you are just the most ridiculous person sometimes. ]

I'm glad you find it so entertaining ...?

[ question ... mark? ]

action;

[spelunky]

[Why thank you. c:]

Yup! [Okay, gonna put away her communicator for now.] So have you found us a place yet, Cheria?

action;

[dreamchasing]

I'm still working on it. We could probably afford to walk around and look while we're finding things out for sure, though ...

[ Action? ]

[lucentpalisade]

[ Sophie is probably never far from Cheria. She goes to the spot she arrived every day naturally, hoping to see someone from home. This is where she comes from now. ]

He didn't get zippy zapped here today either, Cheria.


[ Reporting for ... something! She is totally productive. ]

[ Action! SOPHIE WHY ARE YOU SO CUTE ]

[dreamchasing]

[ awww, Sophie, it's okay. ;; ]

We'll just keep checking back there, Sophie.

[ here, Sophie, have a motherly squeeze to your shoulder and what she hopes is a reassuring smile. ]

I'm trying to find us a place to live in the meantime. You'll help me look once I get a little more information, won't you?

[ Action! I FELL IN A VAT OF CUTE CREAM :D ]

[lucentpalisade]

[ Sophie nods. She may not look reassured, but she is! She thinks. ]

Will we be able to have somewhere with a garden? I want to plant flowers to show Asbel when he gets here.

[ Action! dkngrkngknr a-are you okay?! those things are really hot sometimes!! ]

[dreamchasing]

[ at least one of them is reassured. Cheria herself is a little unsure. ]

We'll see what we can find, all right? If there isn't a garden, we'll ask if we can make one. And then you can plant all the flowers you want in there.

[ Action! It's okay! What doesn't burn me to ashes makes me cuter! ]

[lucentpalisade]

[ A nod. ]

Okay. [ Pause. ] It will have to be big enough for Pascal, and Asbel, and Hubert, and the Captain and Richard. Is that okay?

[ Action! can you get any cuter? ]

[dreamchasing]

[ Cheria wishes she could promise all of that to Sophie, really, she does. But right now she has no idea what to make of their current situation. That, and ... well, the talk as though everyone was bound to arrive here at some point ...

Cheria had to keep from showing those tears threatening to spill over. She shakes her head. ]

We'll ... see what we can do, all right?

[ hopefully she'll find the perfect place. for Sophie's sake. ]

[Voice] we can has actual CR now

[needsmoregreen]

You find apartments to live in!

I'm pretty sure that's how you find housing here.

[Voice] yaaaaayyy!!

[dreamchasing]

You just ... find them? You don't talk to anyone at all?

[Voice] \o

[needsmoregreen]

Well, I did but for the most part...they're usually found on the map in your communicator.

[Voice] o/

[dreamchasing]

Ah, Pascal showed me how to use this ...

[ she's pressing buttons now, trying to find the map. ]

That's really odd, though. Usually you have to talk to someone when you're looking for a place to stay ...

[Voice]

[needsmoregreen]

Really? I guess I probably did it wrong! Oopies!

[A nervous laugh]

Well, the important thing is finding a place to live right?
