[Hiro was... slightly frantic, though he wouldn't show it. Brain whirling with thought after thought of where am I where's Gota what happened but he stays calm on the outside. A smile ever present on his face as he stands near the coral and watches the locals go

[Wataru stops and turns when he hears Hiro's voice, blinking a little at him. He takes in Hiro's wet clothes, clinging transparently to his skin, and understanding lights his eyes as he moves closer.]

I'm sorry--you're new here, right? [Wataru smiles, shy and wide.] How can I help?

[chairplay]

[ah! good! someone who seemed pretty acceptable to just-- not being a bother. a smile spreads across his face and he gestures a bit to his clothes]

... I really need something dry, heh.

[kamen_luthier]

Well--you're in a placed called Vatheon, and it's impossible to leave, but everything is free here. So you can go into any store and get things.

...if you want, though, you could come back to my place and borrow something, too, and I could answer your questions. You must have a lot of them.

[chairplay]

-- Oh!

[a blink. well, that was easy, is everyone in this... bubble thing so gullible--

Well, perhaps not gullible as Hiro didn't have much in mind but hey, free stuff, let's go]

That would be really nice of you. I do have a lot of questions after all.

[kamen_luthier]

[Wataru smiled, looking incredibly pleased.]

Great! Follow me then, please. [Wataru tilts his head, warm and friendly.] How do you feel? Besides tired, cold, damp and disoriented, of course. That happens to nearly everyone.

[chairplay]

[follows!! still totally bewildered though]

I'm fine. A bit hungry, I suppose.

[.... why does he care-- totally just looking around as they walk now]

[kamen_luthier]

[Wataru nods and smiles.]

We can get you food, too. I'm glad you're not feeling too bad, though! It can be a problem with newcomers--I know I was exhausted when I first came here.

[chairplay]

Exhausted, huh? Well, I suppose I'm a bit tired but nothing I can't handle.

[CHARMING SMILE]

Is the food good around here? I bet they have amazing fish.

[kamen_luthier]

[HE IS SO CHARMED HIRO YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW he just laughs, his eyes bright.]

There are lots of people from an unimaginable number of places, so they have all kinds of food. You could probably find almost anything you'd want. Or could think of. And some things you couldn't, probably.

[chairplay]

[... oh. that's neat-- he hasn't tried much of anything food wise WAIT HIRO STOP LIKING THIS PLACE FOR A SECOND focus on the game plan]

Huh. Well, I hope they have onigiri at least.

[kamen_luthier]

They do! And if they don't make them the way you like, appliances and groceries are free too, so cooking is easy.

[Wataru is pleased he seems pleased *^*]

[chairplay]

[wow this place is cool dsjfhjhf FUCK NO need to get home and get back to Gota--

oh

Gota

his friend is all alone okay flash of sadness how are you]

Where am I going to live?

[kamen_luthier]

[Wataru's brows furrow and he reaches out to touch Hiro's shoulder hesitantly.]

Um... the housing is free here, so that's all right too. And there are a few empty houses on my block that are comfortable, if you'd want to take a look while you borrow some things.

[chairplay]

Oh. Maybe I will!

[or maybe not. probably not. he didn't like houses, too open and spacious and homey--]

Are we close? These clothes are kind of uncomfortable.

[kamen_luthier]

We are! It's just around here--

[He turns the corner onto his street and pushes the door open to his house, leading Hiro inside.]

Come on upstairs, and we can find you something that fits you.

[chairplay]

[okay now he feels a bit bad-- why was this guy being so friendly to him? it's not like Hiro cared about him or anything and they just met and--dfsjhkfjh

But he follows after anyway, smile on his face]

I'm Hiro, by the way.
