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.]

Comments

[trusttheshovel]

[Strong, huh. In a way, she agrees, but she'd just rather not show her sadness to anyone.]

No. I've spoken to a few people here, but can't say I got anyone in mind to speak to. It's why I'm looking to make friends.

[betweenduskanddawn]

It's a worthwhile goal!

I'm free in a couple hours, would you like to get lunch?

[Corrin is always on the lookout for more people to join her army be her friend.]

[trusttheshovel]

[She has a shovel as a weapon. Best addition to the army]

Sure. I haven't eaten anything since I woke up, but I can wait.

[She woke up since... fifteen minutes ago. She still needs to take a shower.]

Got a place in mind?

[betweenduskanddawn]

[She'd probably class promote into the strongest soldier in the army, if other shovel-wielding characters are any indication.]

There is a little food stall near the market that sells some wonderful dumplings, if that would work for you?

[trusttheshovel]

Yeah, that works.

I'm Kurumi Ebisuzawa. Call me Kurumi.

[betweenduskanddawn]

It's nice to meet you, Kurumi. I'm Corrin.

I'll see you in a bit, okay?

[And around the scheduled time, Corrin could be found sitting on a fence, her heels tapping against the wood beneath her as she waited for Kurumi.]

[trusttheshovel]

[Kurumi arrived at their spot at around the same time. After receiving some advice about vampires, she went out wearing long sleeves and gloves, hiding as much of her skin as she can. She still lacks a hat, but she can shop for that later. It is also at this point that Kurumi realizes that she didn't ask for Corrin's description, either.

At least Corrin might be able to recognized the other girl. Kurumi has a shovel slung over her back- shovelmaiden.]

[betweenduskanddawn]

[That had occurred to Corrin well after she'd gone out, and forgotten her watch, so that went well. She was trying to figure out how to spot the other when her eyes settled on that shovel. Well...huh. Worth a shot?]

[She dropped off the fence, raising a hand towards the girl.]

Kurumi?

[trusttheshovel]

[She whips her head towards the source of the unfamiliar voice calling her name until her eyes meets the woman raising a hand at her. A brief surprise flits through her face before realizing that this must be the person she's hanging out with today- Corrin.

Then, she immediately puts on a smile.]

Yup, that's me. 'Sup. You must be Corrin-san, right?

[betweenduskanddawn]

[Corrin nodded.]

That's me. But just Corrin is fine.

[She'd had a few people call her that now, and after someone explained what it meant she'd started heading it off immediately.]

Sorry I didn't think to tell you what I look like, it didn't occur to me till I was here!

[trusttheshovel]

Right, Corrin then.

[Kurumi can go along with this, casual as it may be. After all, she insists on people using her first name, anyway.]

I should say sorry, too. It totally slipped my mind! But that's over and done with and we got to meet in the end.

How'd you guess, anyway? Did I look too much like I was looking around for someone?

[betweenduskanddawn]

[Corrin nodded towards the shovel she was holding.]

That was kind of a clue.

[She grinned as she said it, then gestured for her to follow as she started over toward the food stall.]

I hope you don't mind spicy? I didn't think it was bad, but I'm told it's a little hot.

[trusttheshovel]

[She blinks, then turns her head to see where she gestured at... Aaah. Her shovel.]

Oh, hahah... From my user name. I kinda forgot about that for sec. [Her cheeks flush a bit, but she quickly brushes that off and follows after Corrin.]

I haven't had anything spicy for a long while. Don't know if I can tolerate it, but I'm willing to give it a try. You like spicy food, Corrin?
