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

[clickclickbang]

yeah Prim's doing the same for me

[A picture of Prim]

almost rather have a dog tho

[complementing]

whoa! Prim is the biggest bird I've ever seen, what's the species called?

dogs are better for hugs. if you ever want to spend some time with Koromaru, you're more than welcome to ヾ(＾∇＾)

[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!

[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...]

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.

[clickclickbang]

she's a chocobo! she's actually kinda small, not fulling grown yet or anything.

omg yes please?? I'm Prompto btw

[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]

omg...that's adorable and also a little terrifying, she's looks as tall as a horse as it is. tho I guess that would make sense, if you ride them?

also, it's nice to meet you Prompto!

[Insert a picture of Koromaru again, with Minako holding up his paw in a wave.]

Korochan says hi too

[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?

[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 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

[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

[juzubeads]

Well, Shishou taught me martial arts for years, so I usually just go to the dojo with him. Or I'll let off steam by working out, you know, weight lifting and push ups, that sort of thing. I guess you might need to ease back into it though. Just a little, then gradually doing more.

[He is used to that, given some of his injuries he gets from said fighting all the time....]

[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.

[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]

[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]

[BIG DOG.]

oh my gosh

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

[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]

[Big dog for Big man]

Actually he was the runt of his litter.

[Cole named him but Hank doesn't really want to get into talking about his kid with total strangers just quite yet.]

You could say it was an ironic name at the time.

[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?

[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

[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?

[whomthebelltolls]

[Blood. Er-] Hm, a variety of things. Usually a variety of breads, cheeses and fruits. Beef, pork, chicken, though we were close enough to the fishing hamlet to have good fish at times, as well.

Are you feeling sick other than just tired?
