In which mun's anxiety kicks in just to voicetest this guy.

[secondrider]

Well look, you've just made a post.

{...that's right.}

See? You're doing fine. There's nothing you should be anxious about really. You should relax on these things more often.

{The mun sighs.}

[shiitakehater]

Yours get nervous, too?

[secondrider]

Only when it comes to posting in larger communities.

Well, I can't blame her. She's been hanging around in those musebox-things for a long while. It can be intimidating moving from a small place to a more wider area.

[A shrug here.]

[memoryguardian]

My mun was so terrified to play me, she was shaking as she typed up her first post with me.

I think it's silly, because she does just fine, but your mun isn't alone! Probably not by a long shot.

[secondrider]

It's natural that everyone gets nervous at some point. Our muns should feel a bit better now that they've thrown in their first posts!

[memoryguardian]

I know my mun does, especially since she was afraid no one would reply to my post. But that's hardly been the case!

I'd hate to tell her that I told her so, but...

[secondrider]

In my mun's case, she's just really intimidated to post at a huge fanbase. ...Whatever that means.

Well, for now we should at least keep them motivated. I wouldn't want to see my mun remain anxious forever!

[somewhatpointy]

I get the feeling most muns are little balls of anxiety.

...annoying balls of anxiety.

[secondrider]

Annoying, maybe. But she's not so bad.

[somewhatpointy]

Ah, that's good.

I'd feel a lot better about mine if she weren't doing stuff like this in the first place. It gets old after a while.

[secondrider]

Stuff like what, exactly? If you don't mind me asking.

[somewhatpointy]

You ever been sent to a game? One minute, you're minding your own business. The next, you're stuck somewhere you don't want to be, and you can't get out.

[secondrider]

Can't say I have, but I think I've heard of her mentioning about sending either me, Hiroshi or that newbie in one sometime.

...Doesn't sound like a fun place to stay in.

[somewhatpointy]

Mine isn't as bad as the places she's sent some of the other Riders in her head...I've at least got my powers still. Some of the others don't even have that much going for them.

[Not that his powers have been good to him, but it's something.]

[secondrider]

So there are games that take away our powers, eh? I'll take note of that, thanks.

Anything else I'll have to watch out for?

[somewhatpointy]

Some of them will also mess with your memories, or even your history in some kind of alternate universe thing.

[He shrugs.]

Just a lot of weird stuff going on around here.

[secondrider]

I see.

Well this is pretty informative. Thanks again.

[And he'll hold out his hand, offering a friendly handshake.]

Hayato Ichimonji, by the way.

[somewhatpointy]

[Ryo accepts that handshake and gives a gruff nod.]

Ryo Ashihara.

[tearingdreams]

Yeah, that's the spirit! Besides, your mun shouldn't be that afraid! We all gotta trip sometime, right?

[secondrider]

Right! I like that attitude, kid.

[tearingdreams]

Heh, thanks! The name's Chris by the way. Your mun should learn to loosen up, and remember this is just a game, right?

[secondrider]

Hayato Ichimonji. Y'know you should give my mun a few pointers about this.

[tearingdreams]

It's nice to meet ya, Hayato! Hmm, pointers, huh? I guess all I gotta say is cut loose and don't worry! Making mistakes is all part of growing up!

[secondrider]

Heheh, the best advice there is. I'll make sure to relay it to her.

[He'll give Chris a nice good ol' friendly shoulder pat.]

[tearingdreams]

Great! I hope she takes it!

[At that shoulder pat, Chris will give a grin.]

So why is she getting all nervous anyway? You seem like a pretty cool guy.

[secondrider]

I guess she's too intimidated by the other muns and muses around here. I can understand that. This place is pretty huge...

[goofriend]

Relax on these things more often.

[secondrider]

I've just said that.

[goofriend]

[stares, tips head]

[secondrider]

[He'll might as well blink at her.]

What? Is there something on my face?

[goofriend]

[she likes to stare, it is a thing she is good at]

[secondrider]

[What a strange girl.]

You know, it's not polite to stare at people. You might lose your cuteness if you keep that up.

[goofriend]

[tilts head .... but then smiles]

[secondrider]

...You really don't talk much, do you?

[goofriend]

[not overly good with sentience, but I am learning]

Do you?

[secondrider]

[And a sigh.]

Kid, you sure are something.

...Anyway, don't you have a name?

[goofriend]

[there is a short pause]

Nadeshiko.

[secondrider]

[Nadeshiko huh? Like the flower?]

Hmm, it suits you well.

[He'll hold out his hand.]

Well, it's nice to meet you. Hayato Ichimonji's my name.

[goofriend]

[the same indeed!]

Well, well.

[clearly this means you want to do the super secret handshake]

[secondrider]

[Woah okay Hayato isn't sure what's going on but welp. Playing along anyway.

clearly they are now tomodachis]

[goofriend]

[8D] Fun?

[secondrider]

Well with you around, it sure is.

[He'll grin. Sure you might be a tad bit strange, but you're not so bad. It's like hanging around with a little kid.]

[goofriend]

[just the typical day in the #riderlife]

Sure, sure!
