1. Who's moved?
2. Anyone here play sports?

( Because why give any context or explanation to the questions you ask to the network at large, right? )

[fightlikehell]

1. No, not just yet.

2. I've been known to try every so often. You?

audio switch bc sure.

[dedikated]

Not as often as I'd like. Usually just end up going for a run.

( Or, if she can convince a friend, a race. )

What's the last one you tried?

I think quite a few people have moved
the apartments are very small, and it was getting a little crowded

[dedikated]

( And some people seem to keep getting blocked out of theirs so... )

You included?

( She's just fishing to see how people found places, costs etc. )

[advena]

yes, I moved last week
it wasn't too bad, but most of the nicer places were a little expensive for just one person

[dedikated]

"Nice" meaning "fancy" or "no cockroaches"? Not bothered if it's fancy, really.

( If affordable living means cockroaches, well, she'll just have to get a job. )

[advena]

no, definitely no roaches or anything gross like that!

( though kate can't see it, kara is definitely wrinkling her nose at the concept. what kind of magical city would want people to move into dirty apartments with bugs? )

is that something you were expecting?

[dedikated]

( It's a magical city, but- )

It's a city. Got to be some dirt hidden under the carpet.

( So to speak. She didn't have enough time in Eudio to see if the same was true there, and didn't even try to find a new place, but she suspects the same of it. Anything that's too shiny has to have something underneath it all, right? )

[advena]

maybe
but in my experience, places like this seem to be true to their word

i don't think there's anything even close to roaches levels of dirty here

[dedikated]

Been in a city like this before?

( She wonders. She and Will were in Eudio before. But she didn't get that long to know everyone who was there. Maybe there's others who also moved here when they were given the chance. )

[advena]

it was kind of like this one
it wasn't as enthusiastic about the "good deeds" aspect but it was similar

were you at home before this? wherever home is for you, i mean?

[dedikated]

No.
Similar place as well. Wasn't there all that long, mind. Place shut things down so I came here.

you're too kind madam

[fightlikehell]

Running is always quick and easy. That's a go-to for me too. Or boxing.

...I can't rightly remember to be honest.

not a word that's often used for her

[dedikated]

( You can't remember? Okay... )

You a fighter or summat?

( Kate, there are other people who do those things for reasons other than combat... )

kind or madam?

[fightlikehell]

No, not really... just a hobby I gravitated to.

[And this is a lie. So.]

Are you an athlete?

Well. Both.

[dedikated]

( Well, she doesn't seem to catch that lie. )

Erm. When I were a kid.

( Not so much now. )

Keep at it for my health.

( A lie. And maybe not the smoothest. )

[advena]

really?

( she didn't realize there were so many people here who had come along. maybe she hadn't done as good a job of exploring eudio as she'd thought. )

where were you before this?

[dedikated]

Somewhere called Eudio. You heard of it or are there even more of these cities than I thought?

( Well, to be fair, Kate was kind of... a disaster. And mostly failing at the whole make friends thing there.

... Not that much has changed, to be honest. )

[advena]

that's where i was, too!
well, not just me, obviously
there were quite a few of us that i knew that came here

( maybe they should have a support group. the jilted ex-citizens of eudio, meeting every other wednesday at 4:00 PM. refreshments provided after the assembly. )

[dedikated]

Aye?
Only knew of one other person so far.
Should have made this an ad for people who were there.

( Theoretically, she should have been all about getting off so easy, but it felt so easy that she began to wonder if Eudio would screw her over. "Marc's alive, but only in the sense that you're sent back to right before he dies, unable to do anything". Something like that. )

Variety *is* the spice of life~!

[fightlikehell]

[Alas it will probably not be the only one. He's really trying to be more sincere. It's just first nature to play close to the vest.]

I think we all were as children.

[Rowdy, fearless things. Matt laughs a little in amusement at the thought.]

Is there anything in particular you were interested in?

truer words etc

[dedikated]

( She meant it quite literally, though. Competitions and everything. )

Haven't played volleyball in a while.

( She's been to the beach here, and even back in Eudio, but there's been few chances for her to get together a group for that. )

Footie, either.

( She sort of misses team sports, actually. )

[fightlikehell]

[Ah. Well.]

Yeah, I can safely say I'm sure I haven't played volleyball since grade school. Football on the other hand, that's something I miss.

[dedikated]

( Well, she has a solution to that. )

Could always start a team.

[fightlikehell]

They likely have sport stores here. It looks like we're on to something here.

[Hobbies. Everybody has to have em.]

So. Football or volleyball or... league of sports depending on season?

[dedikated]

( Here they have nothing but time. And retail jobs. )

S'pose there's always cricket. ( Kate you've never played cricket. )

[fightlikehell]

I can learn how to play cricket, I don't know how successful I'll be.

[Liar, liar, liar...]

Why not rugby?

[dedikated]

( And she has no cues or knowledge to pick those out, so, it remains whatever. )

... Could do. Mean, all depends how many people want to do this.

( Can't exactly do many of these if it's just the two of them. )
