*Yawn*

[So tired. This tired young woman is slowly opening her eyes and then closing them. She doesn't know where she's at, but she feels she's not getting enough rest and curls into whatever furniture she's currently next to.

She then notices a sound and weakly opens up an eyelid to see]

'…'

'HOLY CRAP WHAT IS THIS? IS THIS THING ON?!'

[She scrambles to try fiddling with her TAB it but it then falls on the floor, and she with it thanks to her weird couch type bed having only just enough space. She then grumbles on the carpet and starts playing with it.]


*OOC: Want to shock her by saying hello? Go right ahead!

[ He chuckles. His image feed comes on to display a confident nod with a soft bounce of his dark hair that fluffs and frames his face. ] Yes, indeed!

[She leans back in surprise.]

H-hi? How's it going? [At least she got a friendly response!]

[ultravires]

Splendid! And you? We have not met yet, I am Ardyn. Pleased to meet you!

[optimisticmonk]

Good, I guess?

My name is Tifa. Nice to meet someone nice. I hope I didn't freak you out, Ardyn. I'm not used to these devices.

[ultravires]

Oh, no.. I am quite all right! I wonder, are you new then? To this.. circumstance? [ He lightly chuckled. It is quite the ordeal for sure! In fact he was still acclimating himself and could empathize. ]

Very! I'm still getting used to my new housing. From what I can see, it looks safe enough. Hopefully I can say the same for outside.

[ultravires]

I find that danger is relative to our personal stamina for it. While I can certainly promise danger outside, it may be for you nothing but an unsettled breeze.

[optimisticmonk]

You may be right. I can never know unless I start exploring. Luckily I didn't land in an area full of trees or an extremely isolated area. It looks to be like a neighborhood!

What's your area like?

[ultravires]

Well..

I live in a temperamental temperature area.. from one day it could be below freezing, if such a thing could be properly said, to over a hundred degrees! Some days it is recommended that I remain inside my home.

[ He chuckles. ]

[optimisticmonk]

Wow! You're tough. I bet your home more than makes up for it.

[ultravires]

Indeed, it is quite fortified.

[optimisticmonk]

Did you have any of your friends over too? Did they come with you?

[Please say yes]

[ultravires]

Ah, mm, afraid not technically a friend, but someone I do know has found themselves here as well. And you?

[optimisticmonk]

...I don't know. I arrived here on my own and I'm just now starting to try to figure things out. Hopefully if I do, then I can find my friends.

Maybe they landed here too but in different areas?

[ultravires]

If that is so, then they will surely come across your network broadcast.. keep heart, perhaps they will find their way to you soon enough!

[optimisticmonk]

You're right. It was loud and obnoxious enough to bring three people to tell me about it. It's most likely reached the others too!

[Smiles~!]

That's very smart thinking. I'm grateful I ran into you!

[ultravires]

Yes, and I you. Tell me, where are you from?

[optimisticmonk]

I am from...[And it takes her a while to think. It does have two common names.

Not to mention strange to say. She's not used to this. It's like saying your own name but about someone else.]

The Planet. Or Gaia in some circles. We usually say the Planet. You?

[ultravires]

Eos. Though I am certain wherever it is we are quite far from it. Whatever familiarity I have with my planet, I cannot feel it here.

[optimisticmonk]

Me neither. It makes me feel like it's so far off, that I should hold off searching for now.

It's better to take care of myself than worry about my planet for now.

[ultravires]

Dear, it sounds as if the sake of your planet rests on your shoulders? In any case, I do not think the intention here is to find our way back home, but to adapt and find purpose here with one another. Though, I could be mistaken.. being new myself, as you know.

[optimisticmonk]

Not as drastic as last year for me, but I'm always cautious about it now. Better to be safe than sorry.

[But she soon perks up hearing his next words.]

Oh, you're new? Like me? [...] Then let's look out for each other. I'd hate for anybody to be in the same boat as me.

[ultravires]

Yes! Although, I am afraid we're all in the same boat floating across the same dark abyss.
