i. fool; the beginning of the journey

hi everyone! （⌒▽⌒ゞ I'm Minako Arisato and I just woke up from a three week nap in the infirmary...it seems like I missed a lot of things ( ⚆ _ ⚆ ) so I put this message together to try and get caught up and meet new people! sorry that it's so long!

[ SEEKING ROOMMATES ]
I'm looking for someone to live with. it looks like a lot of people have already partnered up, but if you have space for me and my puppy, I'd really appreciate it (´•ω•`๑) he's a very good, well-behaved dog, and I'm a very good cook, if that helps make the decision

[ PUPPY PLAYDATES ]
speaking of dogs, how many other people have pets from their home worlds here? Koromaru is a shiba inu and needs a lot of exercise, but he gets bored with just me after a while. I was hoping we could get a gathering of animals to play together sometime soon (๑>ᴗ<๑)

[ SEEKING MEDICAL ADVICE ]
since coming here I've been feeling exhausted, like really really really REALLY exhausted. the people in the infirmary couldn't help me figure out why...probably because it's a problem that came from my home world. I really hate being so tired all the time, it's not me at all (๑-﹏-๑) does anyone have a suggestion for how to energize myself again? aside from sleeping or drinking a lot of coffee, I mean

[ QUESTS AND MAKING LUNCHBOXES ]
I really want to help with quests, so I'll probably try and do some of the easier ones. (if anyone needs help with one, just say the word and I'm there!) but for the people who are going on the dangerous ones, who might be gone longer, I had the idea of making lunchboxes for them. so they don't have to worry about they're going to eat when they're so far away from most civilization. would anyone be interested in getting those lunchboxes? or making them with me? I don't know if my new witch powers include potion brewing but I want to look into that too, so we can make adventuring starter kits for everyone who's heading into the Wilde. basically, if you're interested in cooking or eating, tell me what you think of this idea??



if you made it all the way to the bottom of this message, thanks for reading! if you scrolled down because you didn't want to read everything, please enjoy this picture of my dog ❤

[Look at how cute he is.]

omg your dog is ADORABLE

[#priorities]

[complementing]

[They're good priorities to have!!]

isn't he?? I love him so much, he's really helping me adjust to being here and away from home

[juzubeads]

I find I get tired with rain. But. for me, training helps. Training and sparring. Keeping active, you know? That ought get you all fired up!

[complementing]

it normally would! I used to train all the time, but now it's really hard for me to walk around for even a half hour without needing a rest

I guess I could start with some small exercises and work from there...do you have any favorite ones you like to do?

[littlemperor]

[UUUUUU THERE'S SO MUCH TO RESPOND TO HERE FOR HIIIIM but first:

a picture of his sweet pupperino. it's unfortunate that ensemble stars doesn't ever give me a better, but he's a golden retriever and definitely the average size of it.]

this is king!! he gets along well with other dogs, so he'd be happy to meet your koromaru (((o(*ﾟ▽ﾟ*)o)))
and so would i ♪ he's sooooo cute!

the lunchboxes sound interesting too ♪ i have a refined noble's palate, so i'd be happy to give my opinion on your food if you'd like.

[he's. thinking of how to help her with her tiredness too, but he's not 100% sure... maybe some kind of tea..? physical activity definitely keeps him up, but that might just make it worse in the end...]

[complementing]

oh my gosh a golden retriever! I didn't get to see a lot of those in my city, but I've always wanted to. they have such friendly, sweet faces (´∀｀)♡ Korochan and I definitely want to meet you two soon!

ohh! that's a really good idea. luckily Japanese cooking is pretty easy on the stomach but the tastes might not be for everyone, we should properly label everything to make it easy to understand

[quickrecipeh]

If you still need assistance with cooking, I'll make myself available. I've only just arrived, but I don't have any interest in sitting idly.

What kind of cuisine did you have in mind? Assuming, of course, anything here is remotely similar to what either of us had at home.

[complementing]

assuming that I get enough interest, I'd really love your help, sir, thank you!

a lot of the food seems to be similar to what I know, so it might be the same for you. but the cuisine itself, I want to focus on hearty meals that can be eaten quickly and conveniently. if people are going to be, I don't know, hunting down demons or burning through their magic for a spell, they need the energy as soon as possible

[whomthebelltolls]

Did you find yourself exhausted when you arrived here? I found simply moving around and being active, but getting plenty of rest at night to have helped with the affliction I awoke with. Making sure to eat regularly, as well, to keep your strength up.

Still, it is very kind of you to want to ensure those who go out on the hunt to have food adequate to keep their strength up. This month, I am working with the local flowers and plants, but soon, perhaps I would take an offer of your kindness.

When I feel well enough to join.

[complementing]

I'm good at eating, so I'll have to see if that helps haha. maybe my stomach just needs some time to adjust to the food here. thank you for all the suggestions

I hope you feel better soon, ma'am! I'd be happy to make lunchboxes for you. just out of curiosity, what kinds of things do you usually eat?

[fifty]

when I'm tired I get up and go run around outside!
(or drink coffee but you said besides that lol)
the weather here's definitely not helping! it's been super cloudy since we got here, that gets me down
if it gets sunny again soon definitely go outside and soak it up!

your dog is really cute btw! I want to pet him!

[complementing]

oh I hadn't even thought of that! it's true, I feel so much better when it's nice and sunny out. and nothing good ever happened in bad weather back at home, either. i had a terrible fever during the typhoon season last year. I should make some teru teru bozu

hehe he says thank you, and you're very welcome to pet him any time! now that I'm awake, I'm taking lots of walks around town to stretch my legs, so please come say hello if you see us

[wolfcorgi]

[ he absolutely ignored all of this text, and was about to toss his watch away, until— ]

huh
thats a pretty cute dog
he has albinism? thats pretty rare in a dog
here

[ file attachment. thanks enstars for?? real pictures?? of a corgi? from a random real life collab? ]

names leon
hes one hell of a smart dog! you wont see anyone like him around

[complementing]

and red eyes, like me! I wonder what the statistics of that genetic possibility are

aww Leon is adorable! Koromaru thinks they'd get along well~




is his paw okay though? or is it just a weird trick of the light in the photo?

[grakraka]

Ah! What a cute boy. I've always loved shibas...
I don't have a pet but I'd be happy to play with him if you're ever too busy to do so.
I don't think I can help much with feeling more awake. Certain types of exercise can help? I can suggest a few.
But if it's something more along the lines of chronic fatigue it's more likely to be a disease.
Fatigue itself is a common enough symptom.

[complementing]

that'd be great if you could, thank you so much! he can take care of himself and doesn't REALLY need me to watch over him all the time, but I'd feel better if someone else were with him while he exercises, especially when we're still new to this world, you know?

a disease, huh? I guess we could call it that, since it's slowly sapping away at me ε-(>o<) I'll take any suggestions you can give me. it's really frustrating knowing I could be helping so much more

[fuckingpassw0rd]

[Well, he should meet other people if he's meant to stay here.]

Don't see many Shibas in Detroit. Sumo's a Saint Benard, and doesn't get to interact with other dogs much.

[Look at this giant dog]

[complementing]

[BIG DOG.]

oh my gosh

please tell me he's named Sumo because he's as big as a sumo wrestler

[cult]

oooooo
wayts a ? lunchb?ox
sounnds lik?e food? am gre4TT at tht!
ever had lotus? pork rib soup
its relly good!
trust

[complementing]

yup! lunchboxes are basically boxes you can carry around that hold food!

I don't think I've had lotus pork rib soup, but I've had lotus root and pork ribs separately before, and they were delicious, so the two of them added together would be too, I'm sure!

would you like me to try and make it here?

[fiddlestick]

Awww, what a cute dog!

When I feel tired, I usually listen or play some energizing music. That usually perks me back up ... unless it's morning, then I just down coffee or tea.

[complementing]

I had that idea too!!! but I kind of don't want to use all the battery on my MP3 player all at once...I'm pretty sure I won't be able to charge it again with anything in this world once it's dead (゜´Д｀゜)

[rescuro]

A fine hound you have. Though none of the hounds that I have made pacts with came to this world with me, three of my Dark Devas of Destruction did.

[ If she’s wonder What The Heck That Means, she doesn’t have to wonder for long. all but the sleeping one are present. ]

Don’t let their size fool you. They are more than a match for any cat, dog, or even bear!
...
Though if that still concerns you, I suppose I could also offer my assistance for entertaining this dark beast of yours.

[complementing]

omg

your dark devas of destruction are adorable

and I would really appreciate it if you could play with him, I think he's pretty good with all other kinds of pets, but you'd know more about hamsters than me. is there anything I should do to prepare him to meet your DDoD?

[wordsinthesoul]

There might be some ways to borrow energy, though I don't know if I'd advise that.

[but, you know… in a pinch…. It's not as though he's not used to going a long while without sleep, though.]

The lunchboxes sound like an excellent idea! Besides, it's more delightful if they're from someone who cares, isn't it?

Your dog is incredibly cute! Just like his owner, I'll wager.

[complementing]

like an energy vampire? as cool as it sounds in theory, I'm good...it wouldn't feel right to let someone do that for me

yes, exactly! food made with love always tastes better, and I might be able to make it taste more like home cooking than anything people can get from the natives

he's only about one and a half or two years old, but he's getting more handsome by the day~ as for me, I'm completely frumpy looking from that three week coma I mentioned, so thank you for your kind words, but I'm not very cute right now

voice

[oceanschild]

[The text to voice app on these doesn't quite know how to deal with the emotes so Paris is a little confused by the end.]

I, um. Think I missed part of all that, b-but... if you need help with the lunchboxes... I could do that. And I think Aeto would like playing with your dog again.

[complementing]

[Oh? Minako switches to voice to match him, and the smile in her voice is audible.]

I'd love your help, Paris! The more the merrier, I always say. And Korochan would love to see Aeto again. Does she need to stay in the water? We'd have to find a good meeting place where she can soak at the same time they play...

[activatingcombatmode]

Three week nap? Geeze, and I thought I arrived in this world in bad as hell shape... You doing okay now?

Sleeping all the time is actually just going to make you feel worse. Get enough sleep every night but don't oversleep. Get up and eat something healthy and go for a run you'd be surprised how some exercise can help you feel better.

And as always DRINK LOTS OF WATER. Water is life. Water is love.

[complementing]

better than before! I'm still in a little rough shape but I'm hoping with everyone's suggestions I can perk up more

WATER IS LIFE, WATER IS LOVE ヾ(≧∇≦*)ゝ I was drinking a lot of water anyways, gotta stay hydrated and keep my skin clear even when I'm stressed!

[wylderrant]

I adore food, so I would happily accept any sort of sustenance you could provide those of us braving the dangers of the wild. I'm sure others would as well!

That said, your pet is a wonderful looking fellow. Give him a pat for me.

As for energy (sorry, I'm writing these all in order, as they come to me), I usually find a morning run or swim is the best way to wake up and get one's blood pumping again! Enjoy the cool morning air and the sunlight!

[complementing]

a fellow foodie! nice to meet you~ do you have any favorites or unique foods from your world? if possible I'd eventually like everyone to try things from other worlds. kind of like a culture exchange!

[Insert an image of Koromaru sitting happily, with Minako's hand on top of his head.]

done!

ooh I've been trying morning runs but I love the idea of a morning swim too. is there a pool nearby that you know of?

text

[digiorno]

i don't have a pet, unfortunately, but if you ever want help walking him or anything like that i would be happy to help. he looks very clever and well-behaved. and i can see he already has a fan club.

did you find somewhere to live yet, by the way?

[complementing]

he had a big fanclub at home, so I'm glad he'll be getting all the love and attention he deserves here too! and thank you for offering! the more people he meets, the better for him. he wants to help everyone out with quests eventually

oh no, not yet! still looking. do you know of a vacancy somewhere?

[lonewanderer]

dogmeat would love to play with koromaru more

the lunchboxes sound good. not sure how much help i'd be with cooking but i'd love ot get one

glad you're awake

[complementing]

[Insert a picture that mostly consists of Koromaru's snoot in the camera.]

Korochan says he misses Dogmeat a lot!

ohhh I can't wait to cook for you, Lex! I really want you to enjoy everything you couldn't get back at home

and also thank you! you're the first one to say that

[actuallyadork]

We could meet up again.

I'll bring Sunshine and you bring Koromaru.

[Because puppy/chocobo playdates should be a thing.]

You can cook?

[complementing]

hi Cloud! Korochan and I would love to see you again, it was fun talking with you ヾ(・ω・*)ノ

yup! I learned from cooking shows and a really great senpai!

[darkbreak]

you had a three week nap and were worried about me? unreal.

your puppy is pretty cute. wouldn't mind meeting him sometime. I've got nothing else to add about exhaustion. coffee and exercise tend to work though.

[complementing]

I was fine when I was sleeping! I had nothing to worry about, not like you

Korochan would love to meet you too, I'm sure. I told him about how I met you and he was very curious

[She's not intentionally never letting him live this down, but she's still never letting him live this down.]
