The Magic to Move On | Backdated to Day 343

[Hibiki is sitting on her bed for this video. On her head is perched a sleeping Cyndaquil, and on her shoulder is a two-tailed gusk. If you look close enough, there's a glitter on her shoulder that gives away the presence of a hummingbird propped up next to a hamster as well.]

Umm... I hope everybody had a lot of fun at the festival. It was so exciting to see everything, wasn't it?

I was hoping that now that everything's over with, I could get help with something...

Actually, I was thinking of moving out of the Welcome Hall soon. I have a lot of money saved up, and my room's a little small for all of the animals I'm taking care of. But I've never rented my own place before, so... If anyone has any tips or advice, I would really appreciate it! I want to find someplace near the hospital so I can still get to work easily, but it would be nice if there's grass nearby for Mary, my sheep, as well.

Thank you!

[Action; Gefion Park]

[There is a girl with a sheep. On the sheep is a still-snoozing Cyndaquil. On Hibiki's shoulder, the gusk. In her pocket is the hamster and flitting around the group as a whole is the hummingbird.

It seems she's decided to take everyone for a walk, but the entourage is getting some attention from the people around her. This might be a good time to drop by and say hello, along with a possible "how on earth did you even-"]

You have so many animals ! [Beth smiles because, really, they are so cute.]

[saving_sound]

Uh-huh! Somehow or another, I've ended up with a lot during the time I've spent here...

I just feel so bad, keeping almost all of them in a small room like this!

video ;;

[partinglass]

Yes, I understand. They need space and air and some grass too maybe.

[Don't mind her, she's a farmer's daughter.]

video ;;

[saving_sound]

Uh-huh! That's why I really want a home with grass around it... Then, I wouldn't have to buy food, or walk Mary all the way to the park. She could have food right there instead!

video ;;

[partinglass]

That would be lovely ! I'm sure that Mary would appreciate that.

Is it expensive to have your own place ?

[comeonthensexy]

Shouldn't be too difficult to find a house near the hospital, since it's so close to the center. There are small flats in Loki, Baldr, and Freyr districts.

You don't have anyone you'd like to move in with, though?

[Video]

[saving_sound]

Something smaller is probably for the best.

[She doesn't need a grand place to stay; just something where she can live comfortably with her animals.]

I suppose I never really asked around... I wasn't sure if anyone would want to.

[Video]

[comeonthensexy]

I'd offer, but my house is pretty much filled to the brim.

[Video]

[saving_sound]

Oh...! No, that's perfectly alright! I don't want to impose on others, either.

[Video]

[comeonthensexy]

It wouldn't be imposing if I had room, silly.

[firstbeliever]

[Animals! And it's Hibiki too.]

How many animals do you have? What are their names?

video.

[saving_sound]

I have... [Hang on while she counts it out on her fingers here--] five of them! Fiery the Cyndaquil, Kiri the hummingbird, Mary the sheep... and I never came up with names for my gusk or hamster.

[She just couldn't come up with anything good...]

video.

[firstbeliever]

That's a lot of animals. I only had a dog back home named Abby.

[Hm. Animals couldn't go without a name.]

Maybe you could ask your friends to help you name them.

video.

[saving_sound]

I didn't have any animals at home, really... But somehow, I keep ending up with more and more of them here.

[It's a mystery!]

Friends, huh...? Then, maybe... Would you like to name one of them, Jamie?

video.

[firstbeliever]

Well, they must like you!

[Friends being sent home, maybe?]

[He looks surprised by that and points to himself.]

Me? Sure, but are you sure you don't want one of your other friends to do it?

[bloodypocket]

... Do you plan to move in on your own, Hibiki? [He knew she could take care of herself, but he still worried the smallest bit.

Especially with the number of animals she has with her, when had she added even more to the group...?!]

video;

[saving_sound]

Yes, that's right. I don't know anybody else who's planning to move, so...

[And naturally, it's not like she asked around or anything. But she can handl it!! ...Probably!]

video;

[bloodypocket]

Perhaps you could ask, in the event you decide to move again. [Not that he sees any reason she should, short of her home being destroyed...]

I assume quality of living would also be of importance? With the number of companions you have, a residence with poor foundation would be a hazard to everyone.

video;

[saving_sound]

I suppose I could... [If she ever had a reason to move again, anyway.]

Um... What's a foundation, Rutherford-san?

video;

[bloodypocket]

[... This could take a while...]

The area the dwelling is built upon, in a literal sense the very piece it is dwelt upon. You wouldn't want a home that crumbles beneath you.

[It was nice to live so close to a park again. Liara felt as if she hadn't taken the time to properly enjoy one since she was a child. Today, she was just out on a stroll, familiarizing herself with the area one district at a time. That is, until she spotted a mini menagerie, and a particularly odd animal caught her attention.]

Excuse me... Is that animal on fire? [And it's on top of that wooly animal. This... this is not a moment of panic?]

Action;

[saving_sound]

Oh! Yes, it's just how he is. But he's very careful, so he never burns anything.

[Because that is definitely the concern here, yes.]

Action;

[yournameinthestars]

That's... fascinating. [And puzzling. The poor thing seemed like an accident waiting to happen, but people said the same about inviting Krogan anywhere... so it was probably best to put aside any sudden judgements.] I'm amazed that the other animals are so comfortable being so close to it's flames. Do they all belong to you?

Action;

[saving_sound]

Uh-huh! They've been living together for a while now, so they're used to each other.

Action;

[yournameinthestars]

It's nice to see such a wide variety of species getting along with one another. {It reminded her of her own crew, but she couldn't help but feel a lonely pang in response.]

You must be very patient.
