[honokairo]

Action:

[Honoka has made her way into various parts of the city, exploring it with her two pokémon. She's handing out the fruit off of Tropius's neck to anyone willing to take one. She also looks a little lost, and exhausted as she's just gotten into town not too long ago. She's been eating, but not what she wants to eat- and if you've got something tasty looking that isn't fruit, she's creepily staring at you, longing to have some herself. One little bite of that would be so great.

So much that she'll walk up to you and ask you where you got it after a time.]

Video:

[Now, after she's gotten a little bit to eat and sat down for a bit to rest from traveling, she turns the Warp Band on. The scene around her is of the sun starting to set, sitting on a park bench. Tropius is laying down next to the bench. Happiny sits in her lap, looking cheerful as ever, but tired.]

Hi! My name is Honoka, and I know none of you may know me yet but I have a favor to ask. I just got here from Caldera, and I don't have a place to stay yet... and I don't want to live out on the street! I would just need a few days, I promise I'll have something set up by then!

Thank you very much!

...You came all the way to another city, without even having a place to stay? Do you even have any money to rent a room for a while?

[ Maki is judging you hard Honoka, you seem like a nice girl, if a little air headed. But seriously? Sleeping on the street? ]

[honokairo]

I have money! But I don't even know where to find a place to rent a room...and I'm so tired already. [She'd take a rented room too, but whereee is oneeee]

video;

[cutiepanther]

I hope you find a place then. Union isn't known as being dangerous, but it's still not a good plan to be sleeping outside.

[ Says the girl with a giant mansion that her parents are never at, and she doesn't think to offer a room to Honoka. ]

[honokairo]

I'll find a place. Do you know of anywhere around here- [She waves the camera around the area a bit so Maki can see, though it's shaky and probably not very visible due to light and her just waving the Warp Band all willy nilly-] that would rent a room to me?

Video

[faithfulflame]

[A dark haired girl pops up onto the screen, dressed in some pretty formal looking priestess' robes.]

I can offer you a temporary place to stay, if you need, Honoka-san. My grandfather's shrine has several spare rooms that we often lend to travelers. They aren't much, and you'd have to help with some basic chores, but that's all we ask.

Video

[honokairo]

Really??!! [That's fantastic news.] I don't mind helping do chores! Where is your shrine?

Video

[faithfulflame]

It's on the western side of Union, on top of one of the largest hills. If you require a guide, I can send someone to lead you.

Video

[honokairo]

The west side? [She looks in one direction, albeit the wrong one, in response.]

I might be able to find it... [Maybe. It's a big city and she already got lost a few times.]

Action.

[future_sight]

[Ahh, lunch time! Grabbing a few meat buns from one of the food stands, Nozomi sits on a bench in the park, letting one cool a bit. The rest are in a large bag by her side.]

Action. I do not have an icon worthy of that description

[honokairo]

[Look, behind that corner. There's a girl. And wow she has meat buns. Those look so great. Oh man, does she want one. She's not doing a horribly good job of hiding herself, giving Nozomi that creepy look of MMMmmmMMMmmMMmMMM mmmmMMMMMMMmmmmmmmMMMMMMMmMMMmMMMmmMMmMmMmmMM googly eyes. The look of hunger. The look of someone desperate.]

Action.

[future_sight]

[Her buns are in danger

Nozomi feels a pair of eyes on her and, looking up, she notices Honoka hovering over her. What even.]

Can I help you?

Action

[honokairo]

!!!

[Caught! Crap!]

Sorry, but could you tell me where you got those? They look really good...

[Video]

[umiiroshoujo]

[It's pretty easy to tell by the view behind Umi that she isn't in the city. She's actually out in the swamp.]

You're from Caldera too?

[She can't really complain that there are more people from home coming to check out Union. It's a fairly nice place.]

You honestly made no plans for when you arrived?

[Video]

[honokairo]

Uh...well... [No, she didn't. Whoops.]

I am from Caldera...though I figured it would be a little easier to take care of housing when I got here.

[Video]

[umiiroshoujo]

Wouldn't it have been better if you'd had at least some sort of plan?

[Seriously.]

That's very careless.

[Video]

[honokairo]

...! Well, yes, but the hard part was making it here through the desert! I planned for that!

[This girl is serious!]

I knew I could get here and be okay, I just...ehhh...

[Okay Umi has a point. Crap.]

[Action]

[nicocism]

[Do sweets and pastries count as food? Because someone sure has a bag of them and looks like a tiny child as she gnaws on a lollipop god she'd die if Maki saw her]

[Action]

[honokairo]

[She sure does love those too as she's drooling looking at Nico eating them. She's almost transfixed on them. Wishing she had some. There's got to be a place that has those around here for here, if that girl has some too.

She wanders over, finger on her lip, looking at Nico.

Where you get that. Can she have some. Yummmmm.]

[nicocism]

[Not that Nico pays much heed to random strangers around her but... it's pretty much impossible not to notice that girl staring at her. And approaching. Oh god she was coming closer, she was going to be eaten...]

...is there something I can help you with?

action

[kakuto]

[Is that the smell of warm bread and rice in the air? Well, passing by a restaurant does it's work like that.

And there is a girl waving a group of people as they leave the place.]

Thank you for coming, nya! Please come again!

[honokairo]

[She sniffs the air. That's what she's looking for. That's it. She looks over in the direction of where that marvelous odor is coming from and sees Rin. Could that be it? She runs over.]

Excuse me! [She yells.] Excuse me, what is this place? [IS THIS WHAT SHE'S LOOKING FOR?]

[kakuto]

[A new face! Rin pretty much gives a big smile at the other person approaching her.]

Oh, this is Kabigon! It's my dad's resturant! Hungry? We got all kinds of food if you are interested!

[novegetables]

[Food is being handed out!? Well Honoka, you're going to be suddenly approached by a seven year old and his armored friend, who's having a bit of difficulty keeping up.] Hey, Miss! Is that food you're giving away? [Because it sure looks tasty!]

[honokairo]

Mmmmmhm! [She grabs a banana off of Tropius's neck.]

Did you want one?

[novegetables]

I sure do! May I have one? [He's got to be polite and ask after all!]

[Aron finally catches up to them.] Aron! [Jeez Goten, didn't anyone ever tell you not to take food from strangers?]
