[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 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?

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.

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...]

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.

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.

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?

Servants...

[Don't mind him, he's still busy being impressed. When she speaks of her dilemma though, he snaps out of it.]

Ah—nobody responded? W-well, uh... what needs to be done to keep a place like this up? I've, uh, never been in something like this that I can remember, so I have no idea...

I've... never actually done it myself, but I've seen the servants at work enough times before. A lot of it is the usual housecleaning to keep the floor clear and get rid of dust. It's very time-consuming, and with both school and work I'm not sure if I can do it by myself.

And... there's also the garden.

[It certainly looks time consuming...]

Oh... I'm, uh... probably not servant material, but I don't mind helping with the floors when I have the time. Ahh, it sounds strange, but I feel like it's... something I've done a lot of.

Oh-! I never meant to imply taking you on as a servant or anything! [That would be... weird. And she doesn't even have the money anyway.]

But... if you don't mind, I would greatly appreciate any help. I'm not sure how much money I would be able to spare outside of what it takes to maintain the house, but I'll try to do what I can to pay you back for it. And if you ever wish to use any of the facilities in the building, you are free to it.

[Weird, yes. He tries not to seem too visibly relieved when she dismisses that particular idea.]

Oh, don't worry too much about it... I offered. Being able to seek a safe haven once in a while might is good enough for me. N-not that I have anything against my friends, but... [They're a little bit difficult to swallow sometimes.]

...It's a little stressful at times?

[She's definitely gotten that impression, at least.]

You can stay as much as you need. You'll have to use a futon of course, but there is plenty of space to accommodate you.
