[Bess takes a moment to adjust the bracelet just where she wants to set it down before immediately taking a seat and smiling at the contraption. It's still taking some getting used to, but she has a somewhat shaky grasp on how to use it properly.]

Dare I say, that was a much friendlier welcoming party than I ever imagined to be seeing... I should think I'm luckier than some, to be greeted by a familiar face.

However, that still leaves me very rude for having not yet properly introduced myself. For that, my darlings, you have my most sincere apologies.  I am Elizabeth Foster.. and while I was skeptical at first, I do believe I shall make the most of my stay.

[Her grin turns into something of a mischievous smirk, if only for a moment or two.]

Comments

[suchpersistence]

So, I take it that you're new here. [A beat.] You're coping with it rather well.

My name is Mitsuru Kirijo. It's a pleasure to meet you.

[herblessing]

[Bess smiles and shrugs.]

A dear friend from home was the first to find me, so I believe that may be helping.... That, or I am quite delusional.

It's a pleasure to make your acquaintance, Mitsuru.

[suchpersistence]

Ah, I see. Yes, the presence of our friends often make challenging circumstances easier to cope with. Are there many that you know from your own world here?

[herblessing]

Only Georgiana, thankfully. I can't imagine I'd want to share this experience with anyone else...

[And by that, she means her and Gee's husbands.]

[suchpersistence]

Mhm. It is particularly disconcerting, especially at the beginning. Have you been settling in all right, thus far?

>> Oops

[herblessing]

So far, I do believe so. [She pauses.] I would not, however, be opposed to any suggestions of how to better settle in.

Haha, no worries! I saw nothing. ;)

[suchpersistence]

... My suggestion would be to take the time that you need to grow accustomed to your situation. [A beat.] But not too much time.

<3 XD

[herblessing]

Vague advice, but sound at least...

What is there to do for entertainment around here, might I ask?

[suchpersistence]

That depends on what you consider fun. Myself, I enjoy reading. I suggest keeping a close eye on other people's broadcasts; I frequently notice people seeking companionship for hobbies they wish to undertake.

[herblessing]

I suppose senses of what's fun varies from each individual to the next. I shall keep a close eye on the broadcasts, in that case.

[suchpersistence]

I wish you the best of luck.

[ -- he catches that tail-end of that smirk. have a grin of his own. 'make the most of my stay', huh-- ] Yeah? And how're you gonna do that?

video

[herblessing]

[She grins a little more, he could be fun to keep around.]

I haven't yet decided... Would you have any suggestions?

video

[requisite]

Maaaaybe. I'm a pretty creative guy, I'll have you know.

video

[herblessing]

How lucky I am to have met you, in that case.

video

[requisite]

Psssh. You haven't met anything yet! [ aaaand, with a happy flourish, he'll do that old materializing-the-flower trick and brandish the yellow rose at the camera. ] Kaito Kuroba, magician extraordinaire, at your service~

video

[herblessing]

A magician? [Her lips curl and her eyes widen at the flourish and rose.]

How fantastic! It's a pleasure to officially make your acquaintance, Kaito... You may call me Bess, if you'd like.

video

[requisite]

[ his favourite kind of audience! ] Bess it is! I'd actually prefer that, since, well, you know, if you haven't noticed, I'm no good with formalities.

So, you just got here?

video

[herblessing]

Formalities are hardly necessary in this place. [Which was why she did not introduce herself with her title.]

I did, yes, only a day or so ago... How long have you been here?

video

[requisite]

Fair enough~ Though there'll always be those who like that sorta stuff, anyway.

Aaaaand... I've been here for about a month? Bit less than that? Definitely not a real veteran-- but if you've got any questions, I can try to answer 'em?

video

[herblessing]

I only beg for formalities when it seems appropriate.

I will keep the offer in mind, thank you... I suppose my only real worry at the moment is becoming familiar with the city. That will come with time, I'm sure.

video

[requisite]

You need a hand with that? I haven't been here that long, admittedly, but I'm a pretty damn good tour guide.

video

[herblessing]

Only if it wouldn't be a trouble to you, dear. I'd hate to burden you with such a request.

video

[requisite]

Never a trouble. 'sides, I like the company.

video

[herblessing]

Excellent! In that case, where and when should we meet, dear?

[video]

[suppressthedark]

[Okay let's go introduce ourself to the nice lady, shall we?]

Nice to meet you. I'm Kurosaki Ichigo.

[video]

[herblessing]

[These foreign names may be the eventual death of Bess...]

It's a pleasure to meet you, dear.

video

[airborn]

You already know someone here?

[That's what she meant, right? If so, that's pretty lucky. Rue's always waiting for more familiar people to show up in Asgard.]

video

[herblessing]

I am fortunate enough to, yes.

[She smiles warmly, omg you're so precious!]

Georgiana Cavendish, a dear friend from back home.

video

[airborn]

[Rue cocks her head to the side. The name is a little familiar, but not extremely familiar, so she shrugs.]

I have some friends from home here, too. Did you talk to yours already?
