New muse, please be gentle.

[konjacthread]

Where am I? I almost had my konjac done... I really wanted some.

[She looked down to see a bug crawling on her arm. She flailed around.]

Get it off! Get it off!

[Anyone care to set Ito straight? The 12 year old is just going to run away from some bugs that she noticed that were crawling on her.]

[willsing4pasta]

Oh come on, it's just a little bug. Hold still for one moment so I can help you!

[konjacthread]

[Oh hey, look someone came to help. She flushed lightly. It seemed so odd to be afraid of bugs, but Ito hated them. She remained still while the bug was taken off her.]

T-thank you.

[willsing4pasta]

You're welcome!

[Once the bug is in her hands, Hina flicks it away innocently. No need to keep the critter around much longer.]

There, that bug shouldn't be a problem to you much further. Sent him on his merry way.

[konjacthread]

[She nodded, lightly thanking her.]

I'm Shirataki Ito, and you?

[willsing4pasta]

I'm Kaizoku Hina. It is a pleasure to meet you Ito.

[Tips her hat]

[konjacthread]

It's very nice to meet you too, Kaizoku-san.

[She did a polite curtsie.]

[willsing4pasta]

[Such polite manners!]

Since I'm here, let me be the first to welcome you to this lovely place. Assuming you are a new face around these parts...correct?

[konjacthread]

Thank you very much. I'm new here, but I'm not sure where here its...

[willsing4pasta]

This place is what the residents have named the 'dressing room'. I don't understand why they gave it such a name, doesn't even remotely look like a dressing room! What I can tell you is it seems to function like any normal city, complete with stores, places to eat, and the like. If you haven't seen the bus already, I suggest you check it out.

[Indicates with her hand the direction of the bus]

The bus doesn't work in terms of mobility but it does have a nice little board that kind of explains the goings on of this city.

[konjacthread]

Ahh, I see... So does that mean I need a place to stay then?

[willsing4pasta]

Unless you like sleeping outside in parks, a place would be preferable.

[Blunt Hina, very blunt.]

O-on the other hand, I know of a place you could stay at while you're here. I-if you're a UTAU, that is....

[konjacthread]

Really? That would be really helpful!

[She smiled to her, nodding]

I'm a UTAU.

[willsing4pasta]

Great! There is a treehouse that has been specifically set aside for us UTAU to live in if we see fit. I'm currently living there for the moment, so you're more than welcome to take the place your home too. Besides, it's big enough to give both of us personal space.

[konjacthread]

That sounds amazing. Thank you very much!

[willsing4pasta]

Again, glad I could be of help. Us UTAU have to stick together you know.

[Especially in this place. The Vocaloid outnumber them so.]

[konjacthread]

How many of us are there?
