Just finally finished her icons.

[ivegottogodosomething]

Um...


Thank you... mun... I think they're very... pretty. These pictures of me. I'm glad that you could do something like that... for me...

I-it's okay if your voice for me isn't perfect right now... We can take it slow...

... As a team.

...

[Speechless, to say the least. He's not staring, though, but looking down at his own scarred hands.]

You...You're scarred like me. [Confused.]

[ivegottogodosomething]

-Probably not the best way to introduce yourself from the way she tenses, Pyro.-

[mr_fahrenheit]

[Probably not, but he's not used to this.]

Sorry...just weird to find someone else...you know? [He sounds apologetic as he looks up, a sheepish smile on his face.]

[ivegottogodosomething]

...




Oh.

[mr_fahrenheit]

Name's Pyro. [He offers a hand for a handshake.]

[cloudsinmyhead]

Isn't it a natural thing that muns do, though?

[A pause.] Though mine just dug for stuff and didn't really make any herself.

[ivegottogodosomething]

Ah... I wouldn't know. But aren't there pretty pictures of you, too?

[cloudsinmyhead]

Pretty is a subjective word.

[ivegottogodosomething]

I guess so... Sorry...

[cloudsinmyhead]

And why are you apologizing?

[heartmaestro]

[Hi, have some staring.]

A team...?

[ivegottogodosomething]

-Oh. Staring. Well... She can deal.-

Y-yes... Mun and I. We're a team. Right?

[heartmaestro]

Unless you want to go into the logical fallacies of that statement, I suppose it's true.

[A pause. Her next statement seems mechanical and memorized.] My name is Kotomi Ichinose. My hobbies are reading and playing the violin. I would like it if you would be my friend.

[ivegottogodosomething]

-Too much at once. Hanako visibly tenses.-

[heartmaestro]

[That's alright. She can wait.

Forever.

With a slightly expectant stare, though more focused on Hanako as a whole as opposed to just her scars.]

it's a regular horrific burn scar party up in here

[the_burnt_one]

You were burned as well...[Her voice is rather harsh for being even slightly younger than Hanako. The fire damaged her vocal cords too.]

[ivegottogodosomething]

-Not a great way to start off the conversation. The girl visibly tenses, looking like a deer in headlights.-

[the_burnt_one]

[She recognizes that look. She's given it a few times.] I'm sorry. That was rude. [Or whatever iron age equivalent word you want to substitute. 'Uncouth'?] I will leave you if you wish.

[ivegottogodosomething]

-It takes her a moment, but eventually the girl shakes her head. While she never made eye contact, the few glances she made at the other indicated that she understood what it was they shared.-

[the_burnt_one]

I am Therru. Are you a friend of Emi? [Same uniform. She hasn't added up Yamaku's nature yet though.]

[seventeenpills]

[Hanako and her Mun working as a team? That's really great!]

It looks like you've found a new friend, Hanako.

[ivegottogodosomething]

-Oh hey it's Hisao! Hisao's safe. And he gets a smile for being tucked neatly into that little status corner.-

Um... Yeah. It's... nice.

[seventeenpills]

[He smiles back, of course.]

That's great to hear.

[ivegottogodosomething]

I guess... I'm going to be meeting a lot of new people...

[seventeenpills]

I think you will be. Me too, probably - But we might see more people we know, too.
