[Well, Minato's taken some time to get used to his new situation. For someone who hasn't felt the wind or sunlight in god knows how long - the change feels pretty good. He's found it simply isn't possible to return home just by poking around a little, which means the other newcomers like himself probably don't know any more than he does. Couldn't hurt to make a few friends as long as he's stuck here.]

So there's really no way to check on our homes... Anyone know any good places to eat around Crystalden? If I'm going to be here for a while, I wanna know the area a bit.

[Food is always high priority.]

[ Here, have a bunny-hooded guy around your age ]

No, not that I've heard.. Uhm, 'check on'..? You don't want to return home?

Ah about food.. I just arrived some time ago so I don't know many but I could bring you to the ones that I know! A nice girl showed me around just now.

Well, if things are just the normal, everyday drag, I don't see a whole lot of point to going back. [After all, unless something is going horribly wrong, like the world ending, nobody should even notice he's gone. One of the benefits of being dead.]

Fellow newcomers, then. Nice to meet you.

Ah I guess that makes sense... [ too bad his world isn't in normal condition.. ]

Haha nice to meet you too! I'm Hibiki Kuze, and you are?

Nobody will notice if I'm not there anyway. [Minato's isn't exactly either, but it's not like many people know that.]

Minato Arisato. You also from Japan? [That is a Japanese name, good sir.]

It's nice to meet you, Arisato-san. Yeah, you too? [ Though Hibiki was getting the feeling that they weren't exactly talking about the same Japan. ]

Uhm what did you mean 'nobody will notice'?

[He nods.] Specifically Iwatodai. [For all Minato knows it's the same one. He seems like a normal enough guy.]

I'm not really the noticeable type. You know, the standard quiet kid at school. [Also he's dead. Though it's true he was the quiet guy in his class.]

Oh. I see. [ He'll believe that. ]

Iwatodai.. [ ... ] I've never heard of that place.

So, you're a newcomer, too? I was starting to think Kuze-san and I were the only ones. [ Have a particularly dazzling smile, she might as well get used to practicing her charm while she's stuck here. ]

There are a few cafes and restaurants, though it depends on what you want to eat.

Yeah, just got here today. [Have a dazzling smile right back. Minato has a maxed-out Charm stat and he's not afraid to use it.]

I'm mostly accustomed to Japanese food and burgers, but I wouldn't mind trying something new.

[ ~~a charm off? LET'S DO THIS~~ Miku nods along, folding her arms across her chest. ]

Me too, me too! You could probably find a place serving pretty much whatever you want around here. It seems like there's a different cafe on every street.

[This is the guy that got away with juggling six girlfriends, crushes from a teacher and a grade schooler, and dates with a mysterious woman all in one year. He's got the charm for almost anything. ~~Maybe he's Prince Charming.~~]

I hear this area's expensive, but I wouldn't mind going out of my way for good food. Maybe we could have lunch sometime? [Waitaminute. Manners.] Oh, pardon me. My name is Minato Arisato.

[ ~~it's gotta be voodoo, no other explanation~~ ahah, being sugary sweet and polite really does have its benefits. ]

It really is! Everyone's scrambling to get a job of some kind at the moment. And lunch sounds fun~ We should definitely go! [ once she gets some more money that is. ]

I'm Miku Hatsune. It's nice to meet you, Arisato-san.

[~~Two words: pheromone. coffee.~~ Minato likes all kinds of people, but the polite and sweet ones are easier to approach.]

I'll be needing one, too, I guess... [But not today; he only just got here.] Alright then, it's a plan. Probably best if we both get settled first, though.

[Social link established, perhaps?]

[ Kodachi appears! ~~for she cannot resist Minato's protag powers~~]

I'm afraid that is true, there is no way to contact home.. At least for the time being.

I have been to one or two places in Crystalden but I must admit that the places I have been to just don't quite compare to a home cooked meal.

[~~The perks of being a proswagonist.~~]

Then I guess there's nothing to do but settle in here. [He thinks the seal is still in place. He isn't sure, but he wants it to be true, so he'll worry but put faith in his gut instinct.]

That's true enough. Especially if the chef is a friend.

Oh! Well, you are taking this surprisingly well.. I admit it's a little refreshing seeing someone whom isn't yelling into these devices at the top of their lungs. Having been here for some time myself, I would agree that 'settling in' is an efficient choice right now.

I'm not native to Crystalden, but should you have any questions otherwise I'd be happy to do my best to assist you~.

['From a friend'? She'll get back to that. She makes a bowing motion, which isn't quite simple to tell from her camera's position.]

I am Kodachi Kuno.. And you might be, good sir?

I've moved around a lot. Never been outside Japan before, but it doesn't seem too different, so far. [Also he kind of has nothing to go back to.]

Hn. How trustworthy is this network? Has anyone from a city called Iwatodai showed up, to your knowledge? And...what kind of things should I expect? I've already gathered this is the kind of place where oddities are normal.

[He nods his head in response to the introduction, polite but casual.] Minato Arisato. Nice to meet you.

Oh? That would make two of us, then. My arrival here has been quite a culture shock at first but eventually I've adjusted.

'Trustworthy'? I'm afraid I'm not certain what you mean, but aside from the heads of each district it is denizens only. And there are all types of characters wandering about! If there's any advice I could give it would be to avoid Astralfield at night- it's a very unusual place- but I've gathered interesting things in the mornings.

[With that said, her cheeks pinken a bit as she raises a hand to one.]

Minato Arisato. That is a nice name; tell me, do you have any talents?

Crystalden's a bit more high-tech than what I'm used to, but not bad. Nothing to make a fuss over.

Just trying to figure out exactly who might be listening. Astralfield is...the place the locals are suspicious of, isn't it? What happens there? [Minato has bad experiences regarding strange nights.

...Not that the charming smile he wears gives any indication of that. That last question even prompts a ghost of a laugh.] Maybe a few. I was the fastest on the swim team back home, and I was pretty respected in the photography club.

For your first question, No.

[He says with a pleasant smile] As for your second inquiry, you can visit my establishment if you need to eat. But I warn you, like everything else in Crystalden, the food isn't cheap.

Then I guess I'll just have to have faith things are progressing as usual there. [Sigh. He's hopeful, anyway.]

What's the name? I'll keep it in mind. [...] Though unless you take yen I guess I'll need to see about getting a job.

Not in a manner that you'd hope I assure you. Though this is something that you need to talk to with someone face to face.

The Blood Legacy. It's open 24 hours a day, though don't wonder why you never see sunshine when you're inside.

Don't worry. If you'd check the welcome package Queenie gave you, it has your communicator and 1000 Queen's notes. That'll last for a few days here in Crystalden. [Almost half a year in other cheaper districts.]

Is that an offer? [He'd quite like more information, after all, especially since he's fairly certain his world is either continuing as normal or ending.]

Got it. What kind of food do you serve?

Definitely going to need a job then. The other regions better for holding onto cash? [The way that was worded tipped him off. Well, guess he's back to being a normal guy then. Not like he has an evil tower of doom to plunder here.]

If in some way you cross by my establishment or my modern mansion, I can guide you through everything that you need to know.

Different types, from old cuisine to futuristic dishes. I have adept cooks.

Indeed you need a job. Crystalden is the most futuristic and extravagant district. Extravagance has a price.

Alright. [Sounds like a potential plan, then.

...That is a lot of different kinds of food and music to Minato's ears. He'll definitely stop by sometime.] I'll make sure to visit once I've settled in then.

[Just his luck to get stuck somewhere pricey. Ah well, at least a job will keep him busy.]
