Third Star of Fate ☯

[The feed starts up with a slightly sheepish-looking Aoi. This... may have something to do with the large gate behind her.]

So... It seems my house has appeared in Hinoto-Ri. It's strange seeing it here instead of in Tokyo, but... I've been in contact with the government and they have agreed to pass the ownership over to me. It will take another week or so before it has electricity, so I will be moving here then.

However... It's a large building, so I'm not sure if I can take care of it by myself. [Understatement.] So, I thought I would ask the network if anyone here knows how to maintain a garden, or would be willing to help me with housecleaning. I can't offer much in the way of money, but there is plenty of space if you don't mind using a futon. I would be happy to offer living space in exchange for help around the house.

If you're interested, just contact me through this post or through my inbox. [A bow, and then the feed ends.]

[Action; Libra Ward]

[So yeah, there's a large building in Libra ward now, and has been for the past week or so. But today, the gate is open, and Aoi can be found walking through the familiar rooms. If your character seems interested, she may just give them a tour!]

*He's heading out to the store yet again for groceries, his tote bag on a shoulder, and has to pause. The gates are open today? ....well, there's no one, and no signs there, to indicate that he wouldn't be allowed to try seeing what the house's front looks like through the open gates, right? So he'll step into the gateway, to see better.*

*And he'll prolly be there for a few mins, standing there just inside the gateway, looking up at the big house, simply taking it in, admiring the architecture quietly.*

....

*...all right, so he's cooing while he looks it all over, but it's a soft little sound, really. ♥*

[She eventually steps out again, looking slightly surprised but mostly pleased when she spots him.]

Avitus! Hello there. I wasn't expecting to see you here.

[Action]

[poorlittleblueburdie]

*Have that lil smile in return! He's a bit surprised too, tucking his wings back up tighter behind him*

Nor I you. I was merely curious what this place looked like. I... didn't mean to intrude or anything.

[Action]

[eyewillprotect]

Oh no, it's fine. I wasn't thinking when I left the gate open.

[She holds her arms behind her back, gazing about happily.]

I wasn't expecting my home to appear here. It will be nice to live here again!

[Action]

[poorlittleblueburdie]

This is... your home? From your world?

*his wings sink slightly, and he looks back at her again*

So I suppose... you'll be moving out soon, then?

[Action]

[eyewillprotect]

Yes, that's right. It will take another week or so before the building has electricity, but I'm planning to move in then.

[And then she looks somewhat sheepish.]

But... it's not going to be easy. It's a large building, so I've been asking around to see if anyone else would be willing to live here along with me. I don't think I could maintain it all by myself.

[Action]

[poorlittleblueburdie]

Oh.

*He's quiet a moment, looking at it again, and seems to be considering something for a second*

....what is it you need to do with it, for upkeep?

[Action]

[eyewillprotect]

Housecleaning and gardening. I'm planning to look up the latter, but I'm not sure how much I'll be able to do on my own, considering...

[She gestures to the garden.]

[Action]

[poorlittleblueburdie]

*He glanced that way, and smiled a little, sheepishly.* I'm afraid I've never been good with plants. *When water caused his kind so much physical harm, handling it every day for plants seemed a bit... not so wise, something they'd likely rather have the humans take care of instead.*

Did you... have anyone in particular in mind for the indoors? *not sure if he should volunteer; he'd feel like he was inviting himself in, even if she did say she was asking around. But it's plenty obvious, the way he's looking back up at the house itself, he's finding the idea appealing. That, or he's just curious as all else as to what it looks like. Probably both.*

[How long has that been open..? Buildings appearing at random is strange enough, but he had never seen this one in use. Does this belong to a new person, or a native perhaps? Should he... warn them?]

Ahh... Oi! Is anyone there?

[eyewillprotect]

[Oh, had someone come in? She quickly moves out to the front.]

Yes? Ah-- Otonashi?

[trainwrecking]

[He kept his distance from the house itself; his eyes widen when he sees Aoi move to greet him.]

... Misato? Ahh, I was... looking for the owners. Do they know the gate was left open today?

[eyewillprotect]

Oh, that was me. The staff of Wands ran a check and realized it came from my world, so they contacted me. I've been going through to make sure everything is still where it should be.

[She steps closer, waving a single hand to indicate the whole of the house.]

I was surprised to see my home here. I will be moving in once the building is connected to the city grid for electricity.

[trainwrecking]

Th-this is all... yours? [He takes a better look around, having trouble accepting this news.]

How did you—? I mean... how did this—? [Sorry, Aoi. Give him a second...]

[eyewillprotect]

Yes, that's right. Ah, could it be... you have never seen a building brought here from another world?

It was strange when I first heard about it, but it seems that just like how we are brought here, sometimes buildings from our homes arrive as well. I don't know if there's any particular criteria for it, but... [She turns to the house main, a fond expression on her face.]

This place has housed my family for many generations, so its link to me is undeniable.

[trainwrecking]

N-no... I didn't even know that could happen. I knew the building appeared, but I thought it was just expansion for the NPC--err, the natives.

And this is—

[He looks over the house again, stunned by just how massive it is.]

—all yours? It's—uh, a lot—but it's really stunning, Misato.

[eyewillprotect]

Thank you. Of course, normally I'm not the only person who lives here, and usually there are servants too...

[Her expression becomes slightly troubled here.]

Although... as a result, I'm still trying to figure out how I will be able to maintain it on my own. I put out a network post looking for people who would be interested in sharing the space, but so far I haven't found anyone. I wonder what I should do?

[Minako keeps walking past this highly impressive building on her way to the rail station. That combined with it definitely not having been there last week makes her very curious. The high walls prevent peeking, though, until today when the gate is suddenly open.

Minako doesn't intend to intrude, really, but she can't help taking a few steps into the gateway and peeking onto the mansion's ground. Just out of curiosity.]

[action]

[eyewillprotect]

[Just in time for Aoi to step outside with a pleased expression. Her smile only widens when she sees Minako there.]

Ah- Arisato. Hello, there!

[action]

[greatseal]

Hey, Aoi-san! [Minako feels a little better about being caught snooping when it turns out to be a familiar person.] Is this your house? Sorry, I saw the gate was open and wanted to look for a minute...

[action]

[eyewillprotect]

Yes, that's right. It appeared here recently, and it seems the government is passing the ownership to me. I just thought I would check to see if everything really was how I left it.

[She waves a hand nonchalantly.]

It's no problem, it was probably my fault for leaving the gate open in my excitement. But, since you are here... If you'd like, I can show you around.

[action]

[greatseal]

You're sure? I'd like to, if it's not imposing.

[It's not every day you get to walk around a mansion.]

[action]

[eyewillprotect]

Not at all!

[She turns and begins to walk back to the building, sliding the door open once more to reveal a spacious entrance.]

[action]

[greatseal]

[Minako follows, glancing all around as she does.]

This is really impressive.... Did all the furniture come with it?

[action]

[eyewillprotect]

As far as I can tell, yes. Of course, that means all of my father's antiques came as well...

[She smiles a little wryly at the small and clearly ancient statue adorning a chest up ahead.]
