[The voice that comes across the journals is... mostly cheerful. There is a slight bit of nervousness, though. Her expression is a little nervous as well. Luceti is... still new and unfamiliar, though she's... a little more settled now than she was was when she first arrived. And what she's wanting to ask might be... kind of awkward.]

Uh...

[Lindsay's entry catches Yeager's eye on the journal system because...well, she reminds him of his daughters. And thus he feels a stab of pity in the face of her anxiety.]

I've been getting settled in the second community housing building, if you're interested in living there. The apartments are pretty spacious, so I wouldn't mind taking on a roommate.

I'm Yeager, by the way. My apologies if this at all seems too forward, but...I'm a recent arrival to Luceti myself, and I very much sympathize with your plight.

[...And here's hoping he didn't sound like a complete creeper.]

[voice]

[magiconcehad]

[And he's... actually fairly successful. At least, Lindsay's discomfort is more along the lines of "adult-she-doesn't-know" than anything. And it's also that unfamiliarity that keeps her from accepting this - or any of the offers, really - right away.]

O-oh uh... [Think, Lindsay think. You just put a post out there. Of course you aren't going to recognize most of the people replying!] It's very nice to meet you. I haven't... actually looked at any of the apartments yet. But they might work...

[She'd also need to find a map and look at which one was the second community housing building.]

[voice]

[ever_deceptive]

[Oh good, he didn't entirely creep her out. Cool.]

Well, if you think so, then I would be happy to meet up with you and show you around. And you can bring the cat, of course. See if he likes the place.

Just let me know what might be a reasonable time for you.

[voice]

[magiconcehad]

Uh... maybe in a little bit, if that's okay?

[There are still some people replying to her original entry, and she wants to at least see to those first.]

[cakeblocked]

[Not used to living on her own, huh? Kind of reminds him of himself.

... But there's no way he can take her in; Asch probably won't be happy about it, and he's sure Tsuae wouldn't welcome another cat. So, he'll offer the next best thing instead.]

I think there's a few empty rooms near my place. Mine's already kind of full, but it shouldn't be too bad if we're close, right?

[magiconcehad]

[Well on the plus side, it's someone she knows! Sort of. On the other hand, she really was hoping for someone else to actually well... be there. Hm. Then again she hadn't actually looked at the apartments, so maybe... maybe it wouldn't be that bad, if she was in one by herself so long as there were lots of people, like Giles said...]

I don't know... are there a lot of people near where you are?

[She sounds open to the idea, at least, if a little reserved.]

[onlyonepath]

[A pretty girl, asking for a roommate? ...Oh wait, he's not womanizing anymore, right. Still, anyone asking for a roommate is new, and Irvine is getting kind of depressed being all by himself.]

Uhh, this thing...okay, hi! So like, I know I'm a guy? But uh, if you want somewhere to stay, I've got, like... [He shows her an empty apartment.] Y'know. Lotta space. I can't really cook, but figure I can learn pretty quickly. Something besides...cereal, anyway. Uh, name's Irvine Kinneas, just let me know. I'm a nice guy, I promise.

[video]

[magiconcehad]

[Be nice she's only 16. Another person she doesn't know. He... also seems okay. Though again, someone she doesn't know. She does giggle a bit at the cereal comment.]

Thanks... a lot. Really. I'll think about it, I promise. [...] So... uh... what are the apartments like?

[video]

[onlyonepath]

[And he's only a year older.]

Pretty boring, mostly. I'm on the second floor, so it kinda sucks getting furniture up here, but it's no problem. I can carry heavy stuff for ya. You wanna come check it out? I mean, I'll leave the door open when you're here, if you want. My friend Selphie lives downstairs, so you could meet her.

[video]

[magiconcehad]

[Fair enough.]

I don't actually have anything yet. But sure, that sounds great. [...] Um... where is your apartment anyway?

[It... might be a good idea for her to figure out where she's supposed to go.]

[Voice]

[oda_hates_me]

You needn't worry about cooking, Miss~! There are plenty of restaurants in town~!

[Voice]

[magiconcehad]

Oh... thank you very much.

[Not the most pressing concern behind her asking this, but... still good to know.]

And... they don't cost money, right?

[She's... skimmed the Newcomer's Guide, at least.]

[Voice]

[oda_hates_me]

Not a cent~! And I promise Seventh Heaven hosts some of the best food you'll ever taste~

[Voice]

[magiconcehad]

[She giggles a little]

I'll make sure to stop by there. [Maybe even later today...] Thanks, mister... um...

action.

[mirrorblade]

[Claude's just minding his own business in the item shop, looking for anything he can find useful. When he spots Lindsay looking around, though, he doesn't mind putting his search on hold to see if he can offer her a hand.]

Hey. Looking for something?

action.

[magiconcehad]

Oh, hi!

[Lindsay looks up from her browsing and smiles a little sheepishly. Did he work here? Well... he did ask, so...]

Ah, yeah. I was looking for stuff like... stickers, or markers, stuff like that. Do you know if there are any here?

action.

[mirrorblade]

Well, I didn't see any, but I can help you look.

action.

[magiconcehad]

Really? Thanks! [...] So um... where do you think would be a good place to start looking, I guess?
