Hey. Good Morning. Or is it evening already?

Whatever. I have a problem. My Bonded vanished. We arrived together last month, she was someone from home, so I thought we got this whole Bond thing sorted immediately. But, well... I think she's gone back home. To anyone who knows Yuuri Wakasa, she's no longer here.

[Kurumi had cried a lot about it, to the point tears aren't coming out anymore.]

I heard things that we could go crazy under the full moon and it'll get worse without a Bond. Being a vampire sucks on its own already and I'd rather not lose control of myself, thanks, so I figure I should reach out.

This is a call for friendship. Let's be friends! Maybe we'll eventually get to bond, too?

[Also horribly, horribly lonely, but she's not going to write that down. The implication is already there in the post.]

sorry to hear
i met yuuri once. she was really nice
you're a friend of hers from home?

[trusttheshovel]

Yeah.

We're friends and club members back home, along with two other friends.

It's weird not being with them. We always stick close together as a group, no matter what.

[loverboi]

well
i know you said this was a call for friendship, so if you ever wanna hang out, let me know? i wouldn't want one of yuuri's friends to feel lonely!
i'm lance by the way

[trusttheshovel]

Kurumi. Nice to meet you, Lance.

We can hang out now if you're cool with that. I haven't grabbed something to eat yet, we can meet up at a local cafe?

[loverboi]

yeah, sure!! that sounds great :)
wanna try diplomatea? i have a friend who works there. it's a pretty nice place

[trusttheshovel]

Diplomatea works! I haven't visited the cafe before, I'm excited.

[And she is!]

I'll see you in a bit, Lance. Cool name btw <(￣︶￣)>

[And with that last text, she sets off. She could be found hanging near the entrance of the cafe, notably with a shovel strapped to her back.]

[loverboi]

[ "cool name", huh? nobody's ever told him that before. he smiles down at her text and arrives at diplomatea not long after she does. he's not entirely sure if it's her, but it must be, because she's the only one who looks like she's waiting around.

he approaches her with a grin. ]

Cool name, huh?

[trusttheshovel]

[The only person waiting around and the only person carrying a shovel. Was there any reason to bring a shovel along? No, there's probably no danger around in town, but she'd feel naked without a shovel with her.

That aside, she blinks towards Lance's direction when he approached before chuckling at him throwing her words back at her.]

I can tell you that I don't know many people with the name "Lance". Nice to meet you. [With a grin, she stands tall and holds her hands up for a shake.]

[loverboi]

[ she's cute, even if the shovel's a little...weird. but he'll gladly take her hands with his and shake them firmly. ]

Nice to meet you too, Kurumi!

[ he gives her a charming little grin. ]

You ready to head inside? My treat, okay?

[trusttheshovel]

[His treat? Well, she wouldn't mind that at all. In fact, her mood seems to shoot up considerably after hearing that generosity.]

I'm ready, thanks!

[With a grin, she turns on her heels and heads through the front door first. Looking around inside, although it's just an ordinary cafe to just about anyone, Kurumi feels elated seeing the normalcy around her.]

Aaah, it's been a while since I visited a cafe!

[loverboi]

[ good! he's glad to see her perk up, she deserves to feel appreciated. he enters in behind her and grins, grabbing them a table near a window. there's a nice view outside. ]

It's pretty good here! The tea's great, and I have a friend who works here so I come here pretty often. You want any recommendations or do you trust your judgment?
