[Kairi's voice is terribly unsteady as she witnesses the innumerable mass of insects.]

W-what is going on? I never thought I was afraid of bugs but this...is so GROSS!

Also - um, um - would anyone let me - ew, get off - let me stay with them for a little while? Until I get a place of my own?

You can't stay here, but I wanted to let you know that I agree with you.

It is very gross.

.voice.

[paopupyramid]

[How undeniably almost-helpful.]

I've never seen so many bugs in my life.

...who is this? I'm Kairi.

.voice.

[royal_infantile]

Oh, Kairi. Hello!

I'm Prince Soma!

.voice.

[paopupyramid]

[A prince? Coincidental. Later, Kairi might wonder if being a Princess of Light would still qualify for royalty. Until she arrives at some sort of conclusion for that, she will just have to withhold that tiny piece of information. That will not stop her from asking questions about the Prince, though! (A lot of questions might actually be due, perhaps.)]

I haven't heard much of you yet here! Are you new? And where are you from where you're prince?

[flurryflame]

Oh?

... Not handling the critters too well, are you?

.voice.

[paopupyramid]

No. They're everywhere. Don't they bother you at all?

.voice.

[flurryflame]

Not really.

They're here, they move around, they leave and more come around. Not really a bother.

Did you try fire? Solves everything, all the time. No matter who you are.

.voice.

[paopupyramid]

[How could anyone be so untouched by insects?...]

...no, I haven't tried fire, yet. I'm kind of hard up on it; I don't have anything expendable to start one with, you know?

Is there anything else that works well that you know of?

[rosekissing]

[ohgodbugswhyaretheremorejust--] Oh! You can stay with me! If you don't mind staying with a stranger, I mean. [Honestly she just doesn't want to be alone with the creepy crawlies everywhere OTL]

[ voice ]

[paopupyramid]

[Practically everyone is, in some way or sense, a stranger here (except for Axel, maybe.) It totally is worth a try!]

It doesn't sound like a problem to be staying with a stranger - but, um, who is this?

[ voice ]

[rosekissing]

My name is Anis Yamamoto, but just Anis is fine. [She gives a nervous laugh.] If one of the apartments is okay with you, I can clean up some space that can be yours.

[ voice ] (Oghdafh this is so late, but I haven't forgotten!)

[paopupyramid]

One of the apartments sounds just fine, Anis! I won't be taking up your space for too long - I'll get my own place eventually - but this is a big, big help! Thank you!

[Better than staying outside in the elements where there were ghouls and possibly plague, plus now there is radiation and lots of insects!]
