[[Private, only not]]That has to be one of the biggest coincidences that's ever happened to me. On the very same day that Fate showed me that picture of Nanoha and Vivio, the former shows up here in Memento Eden. Almost too bad I couldn't have bet money on something like that happening -- the odds would definitely have been low enough to make the

I hope you don't mind the intrusion, but I have somewhat of an interest in the machinations of the island.

Who's this Nanoha?

[crimeas_hero]

...Huh? How did you--

...Blast it! The island's killing all filters! How could I have forgotten?!

...Er, sorry about that. Anyway, Nanoha is one of the recent arrivals. She's a girl who looks to be about my age, with brown hair and blue eyes. She's been assigned to Room 110 of the Ari Apartments. She seems to have known my colleague, Fate, seeing as Fate has a picture of the two of them together.

I see... this Fate, do you know if she's new as well?

[crimeas_hero]

She isn't. I met Fate in late July, and she's been around for longer than that.

[idkmybfffate]

It was lovely meeting you, too, Ike-san!

[crimeas_hero]

Ah, hey. How are you? Did you get settled in all right?

[idkmybfffate]

Mhm! So far, so good!

[crimeas_hero]

I'm glad to hear it.

...Oh, I don't know if Fate told you, but while the apartment and the food are free, nothing else is. If you want anything else, like extra clothing for example, you'll have to get a job.

[laconicshadow]

*amused* I didn't think you were the gambling type. Did you forget about the filters?

[crimeas_hero]

Normally I'm not. It was just a comment I made on the long odds of something like that actually happening. There was the onsen grand opening, though...

...And yeah, I forgot.

[thunder_striker]

Thank you, Ike.

[crimeas_hero]

For what?

[thunder_striker]

For helping Nanoha when she arrived.

And for...bringing her to see me.

[crimeas_hero]

Not a problem. It was the least I could do. It's fortunate that I was one of the first people to find her.

[hon_ya]

M-maybe it's fate... or something... That they meet again like this...
or maybe I'm just being stupid...

(haha. Pun not intended)

[crimeas_hero]

...I can't say I'm a big believer in fate. The idea that we're stuck in one path doesn't sit well with me as opposed to carving out my own path with my own blade.

However...it does seem too strange to be a coincidence.

Er, sorry, I rambled without introducing myself. I'm Ike. You?
