[Gaura is honestly rather used to getting lost. He's been fired from enough jobs for being late to work because of it, after all. So now he feels like maybe that happened here? Yes, he's had everything explained to him but that certainly hasn't stopped the confusion.

But after going in circles for several hours he's finally discovered this feature and he's giving it a go.]

Hi there. [He gives a smile. A look he's figured out is usually the thing to get someone to help.]

Could someone help me out? I seem to have lost my way to my apartment and nothing is really looking that familiar. Is Koreatown familiar to anyone at least?

(( Silver smiles in kind. ))

I believe you're a little more lost than you know.

[pinkblinded]

[Oh good. Someone replied. He can't help but look relieved. Even if turns out that this different world thing might be real.]

I was kind of hoping I stumbled into some carnival or something. I guess that means I'm homeless again.

[That's not a first for him honestly.]

[inthewood]

Oh, no! They provide housing to us. There are several choices if you need help getting there or deciding.

[pinkblinded]

Really?

[He looks around the area he's in.]

Perhaps I got lost for that too. I tend to lose my way a lot...

[inthewood]

Yes, really.

[pinkblinded]

[He laughs a little.]

I guess I'll have to find my way to one of those places. At least I won't be homeless!

[He would have managed but this is a relief to say the least.]

Oh! I'm Gaura, by the way. It's nice to meet you.

I would be happy to assist you! Ah... Koreatown? I can't say I have heard of that town.

[Says the man who looks like he is from a Chinese historical fantasy drama.]

Can you show me your surroundings?

[inthewood]

You can reach most of them by train. There are different sorts of places where you can live with others or by yourself.

Nice to meet you, Gaura. My name is Silver. Henry Silver. I've only been here a few months, but I'm happy to help if I can.

[pinkblinded]

I don't really have anyone to room with here since you're the first person I've officially met. But maybe one day.

[It would be less lonely that way for sure. His cheeks color just a little and he looks down.]

You're very nice, Henry. If it isn't too much trouble would you mind if we met up? Maybe walking with you to one of the buildings will help me figure out where they are.

[pinkblinded]

I was kind of afraid of that. That people wouldn't be familiar with it.

[But that's okay. He's used to having to start over again. He's had to do it so many times in the past few years...]

Oh! Sure!

[Turning the camera around, he does a slow turn so he can show where he is to the person on the other end.]

Does that help?

[inthewood]

(( Of course, he smiles and ducks his head a little at the compliment. ))

I wouldn't mind that at all. You could stay with me until you find something you like. There's a spare room in the apartment I'm in.

[pinkblinded]

[His eyes go wide with surprise and he lifts his head up. Clearly that's not an offer he was expecting at all.]

Really? You don't mind?

[inthewood]

It's been somewhat lonely. I'm not accustomed to living by myself.

[pinkblinded]

[His face lights up.]

Thank you. I'll keep my space clean and I won't cause problems.

[inthewood]

(( Silver's pretty happy. He hopes, after the fact, that he doesn't come off like some kind of creep. But, the truth is, he has been a little lonely since arriving in Nippon and it suits him just as much as it helps Gaura to offer up the free space in the apartment he has. ))

I will... try to keep my mess contained. I'm a scholar of the strange and unusual, so I've been taking a lot of notes since arriving.

[pinkblinded]

The strange and unusual?

[That's a pretty broad spectrum of things. So he has to question it.]

[inthewood]

(( He nods to affirm the statement. ))

Creatures that are mythical, magical, and generally the stuff of legend. I've actually met a dragon here!

[pinkblinded]

A real dragon?

[He's read books about them but they don't exist! Except here apparently that's not the case.]

May I ask you more about your studies when you get here?

[inthewood]

A very real dragon!

(( He's giddy just thinking about it!

Silver's obviously moving through his flat, probably searching for his shoes so he can meet Gaura where he is. ))

Of course! I'm always happy to discuss my work.

[pinkblinded]

[Looking around, he finds somewhere to sit so it'll be easier to find him rather than him just continuing to wander around.]

Your work sounds so amazing. I've never gotten to do anything like study myths and legends or even magic.

[inthewood]

It's my family's tradition. What sort of things do you study?

[pinkblinded]

Well I've never been to college... [Never finished high school actually.]

But I like to learn music. And I like to learn about plants. I had a lot of them at home. There's something so nice about both. Where you can forget that you're alone and that they will always be there. Music and plants.

[inthewood]

(( Something wistful comes over his features and he stills for a moment. Only a quick moment before he's moving again, door closing behind him. ))

I understand. I like plants.

[pinkblinded]

I picked pink like a flower for my hair actually.

[He laughs softly and looks around him.]

I like them a lot though. I've learned so much about different plants and I've learned to play several instruments.

[inthewood]

Really? I only know the guitar. I have one at the apartment. You could play it if you like.
