<Snipped quote by Melodious>

*Glances nervously left, then right, then quickly flips to an otherwise-blank page titled "Ona" and flashes it at you*

@Webmaster

*Raises an eyebrow*
Hope that doesn’t mean you were planning to.

<Snipped quote by Melodious>

Uhh, I just heard we were going to a hotspring.

@Zeal

And getting seafood… Shellfish.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Melodious>

These things are always inevitable, you know~

@Webmaster

You better not have taken notes on me. Especially from the first time we met.

<Snipped quote by Melodious>

Pleasure to meet you.

@Zeal

*Nods again*
So what first? Got a preference?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Melodious>

*looks at you and raises a finger meekly*
U-Uh..
* looks at Surprise then back at you*
I am Astra.

@Zeal

*Nods once*
Ona.

<Snipped quote by Melodious>

<Snipped quote by Zeal>

I'll let her introduce herself—
*Stage whispers and points toward the notepad with the back of my pen*
But I've got the psychological profile when you need it.

@Webmaster

When?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Webmaster>

What as a ‘no’?

@Zeal

<Snipped quote by Zeal>

*Nods as if grasping some revelation and scribbles another page of notes*

@Webmaster

You came back with someone very fast. Who’s this?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Melodious>

*Bits of an intense, muffled discussion echo through the room*

@Webmaster

*Glances toward and then away from the guitar on the couch several times*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Melodious>

*Steps out for a few moments*

@Webmaster

*Folds my hands behind my back and taps my foot to a rhythm, as though listening to a song in my head*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Melodious>

Hang tight. You’re doing perfect. I’m gonna make a call.

@Webmaster

*Makes a pop sound with my mouth and gives a thumbs up*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Melodious>

Hm...
*Counts on my fingers*
Two is company but three’s a crowd, and two people can only keep a secret if one of them is dead... but nobody wants to be beside themselves, and the more the merrier...
*Snaps*
I’ve got it.

@Webmaster

*Stands as still as a statue, and entirely deadpan*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Melodious>

Do you have any friends you wanna bring?

@Webmaster

Nnnnn… No.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Melodious>

You said it’s empty around here, right?

@Webmaster

Listen, I was being facetious with everything I’ve said for the past two minutes because I thought you thought I was going. Any friend’s really just a phone call away, but if it’s just me and you, that’s cool.
