Grand Opening Mingle Log

[faredthere]

You've just moved to Farethere City!

Why? Well, you don't seem to want to dwell on it too hard. You certainly remember who you are and where you're from - it's not as though you have amnesia or anything like that, of course not. You just don't really want to think about the events immediately leading up to your moving here for some reason.

That's not important anyway. What matters is that you've just moved in to a new town! It seems like there are a lot of other people besides you moving in today, too. There's a giant 'Welcome to Farethere City' banner hung up between two trees, and there's all kinds of food and drink on tables underneath, including plenty you've probably never seen before.

Now's a good chance to meet your neighbors and get yourself situated. Wander around town a little - check out the library, or figure out what on earth those mushroom-shaped doors at the far end of town are for. Or just pig out on the food - you did just unpack all your stuff today, no one will blame you for taking the chance to relax.

(Don't think too hard about the unboxing process. Or why there might be some things in your house that you don't remember buying.)

Your mayor is floating about greeting people. You'll properly get to meet him at some point, so be sure to ask him all the questions you have about your new home.

[A-aww.]

With such an honest disposition, I'm positive you will be, Watercress.

[When his random pawing around doesn't find any more cupcakes, he asks:] There, is that all of them?

[aquaticrush]

I think so. [She pauses.] Um, are you all right?

[sacrifeyes]

Hm? Yes. Why do you ask?

[He remembers smelling a garbage can around here somewhere...]

[aquaticrush]

You looked a little confused. If I'm assuming things, then I'm sorry! But if there's anything I can help with, I'd like to.

[sacrifeyes]

Oh. It's...not that I was confused.

[Ah yes, there's the trash can. He throws out the fallen cupcakes. Alas, baked goods, we knew ye well.]

I have some problems with my eyesight. Sorry, can I borrow one of your napkins? I think I have some icing...

[aquaticrush]

I'm sorry! That was insensitive! Here, have some!

[She hands (fins?) over a small stack of them.]

I won't say something like that again.

[sacrifeyes]

It's all right, you didn't know.

[He wipes his paws carefully.]

I considered keeping quiet about it, but... Well, it doesn't look like I'll be able to hide it in a small town like this.

[aquaticrush]

Really? But wouldn't people be able to accommodate you better if they knew?

[sacrifeyes]

I wouldn't want to be a bother.

[aquaticrush]

I'm sorry. I also don't want to bother people, but everybody here seems very nice.

[sacrifeyes]

They do, don't they?

[Such a nice, quirky little town...]

Maybe we'll both find a place here, then.

[aquaticrush]

I hope so! Michibiki-san already started suggesting places to work when I wasn't sure.

[sacrifeyes]

What sort of work are you looking for?

[aquaticrush]

I'm not sure, but he suggested asking in the clothing store because I sew sometimes. What sorts of things do you like to do?

[sacrifeyes]

I used to be a photographer... I'm thinking I might open a gallery to sell my old work.

[aquaticrush]

I'm sure that'll be nice! There's a lot here you could probably take pictures of, too.

[sacrifeyes]

Well, it would be difficult now...

[hE'S BLIND]

But I can already tell that you're right. The beauty in this town... I'll have to think of some other way to preserve it.

[aquaticrush]

[WELL MAYBE HE'S LIKE BEETHOVEN]

I'm sure there are a lot of ideas! I could help if you have anything you need. I'll try not to break anything.

[sacrifeyes]

[VEETHOVEN]

That's very giving of you, Watercress. Thank you. I'll keep you in mind if I do.

[aquaticrush]

Thank you! I just want to be useful, that's all.

[sacrifeyes]

An admirable attitude in someone your age. You'll make a fine adult one day.

[aquaticrush]

I hope so! Thank you. You're very nice.

[sacrifeyes]

Thank you for saying so. I do my best.

[He wags his tail once. He is a good doge.]
