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.]

Running and jumping jacks could work too, I guess. They'd be easy to just run a lap and see how you feel, can do more if you feel up to it. Boxing too. Just train with that and stop when you feel you've had enough. You don't want to overdo it when you're recovering from being sick or hurt or something. Then it only takes longer.

oh

[complementing]

you sound just like the person who taught me boxing

[juzubeads]

Huh? I do? Well, I guess that'd make sense. I Don't do boxing myself, but. The general idea with any kind of sport or physical training and activity is the same in not over-exerting yourself. Shishou taught me that much.

[complementing]

yeah that part I know, I was on a volleyball team before, and even our notoriously training-enthusiastic captain had us take breaks when we needed them haha

I more meant you sounded as thoughtful as he is, and it reminded me of a good memory, so thank you for that

[juzubeads]

I sounded -- er, sure. You're welcome, I guess?

[complementing]

ahaha sorry if that sounded weird! just ignore me

anyway, now that you're talking about it, I'm curious: what kind of martial arts do you know?

[juzubeads]

All kinds. Whatever Shishou was teaching, I was there with the lessons to learn. I'm moving more into helping him out at the dojo now. Why? Did you want to learn?

[He's kind of awkward is all. Kind of not used to anyone complimenting him or anything. Hence his being so unsure about her comment on him being thoughtful. Kyo also knows most girls aren't usually as interested with martial arts.

Which isn't to say he doesn't understand and respect that some can and will kick his ass in knowing martial arts, like Kagura, but still.]

[complementing]

[Minako for her part is just happy that she was able to think fondly on Akihiko without crying so Kyo is okay in her book.]

if you're offering, I'd be happy to learn!

I can't really be as mobile as I used to be when I fought, so I think it'd be good to learn something else while I try to recover

[juzubeads]

I'm not sure yet if this place has an actual dojo, but I guess we could always just clear a space inside or head outside and put down some mats or something. If you wanted to learn.

[It was something he had been debating checking out. If there was no dojo, perhaps he could figure saving up and figuring opening one himself? He's not nearly as experienced as Shishou, but still. He could at least teach some beginners? Maybe.]

[complementing]

I do! it'll be fun! I've always been curious about it

just go easy on me, sensei, since I'm still easily tired and all that

[juzubeads]

You have, huh? Okay then.

You'd be alright. I wouldn't want to over do it and make you take longer recovering or whatever. Besides, you'd just be starting to learn the basics, right? So of course I wouldn't go all out.

[complementing]

just making sure! the guy I told you about before, who I said you reminded me of? also had a tendency to overdo things sometimes haha

by the way, what should I call you? unless you're okay with just sensei!

[juzubeads]

I mean. I know I can sometimes be a bit stubborn and determined, but.

Oh, right. It's Kyo. Sohma Kyo.

[complementing]

buuut?

nice to meet you, Sohma-sensei! just tell me a time and place that's convenient for you and I'll come to start learning!

[juzubeads]

But I am getting better about it. About....getting along with people or whatever. My temper.

And just my name is fine. I guess even if there's the chance I might end up taking over the dojo for Shishou one day, I don't see myself as a sensei yet.....

[More because he is more resigned to the chance he probably won't get to do anything beyond finishing school. Before he would be locked away.]

you saw nothing :[

[complementing]

[Wow, she can sense the tsundere through the watches...]

hehe, I'm glad to hear it! good luck in the future, too

okay Kyo-kun, I'll be in your care then~ I'll private message you to figure out a time when we can work out together!

nothing at all.

[juzubeads]

Thanks. And uh, sure. That sounds fine. I'm thinking of looking into figuring a proper dojo if there isn't one around already, just need to look into it first.

<3

[complementing]

sure! take your time, I'll be ready when you are!
