Hi there! You've reached Yukari Takeba. I'm not available to take your call right now, so leave a message and I'll get back to you soon as I can!

[...sigh.]

...I wonder if I'm too old to just go to school.

[evokeslovers]

You... that depends. I think the cut off for being paid to go to high-school here is eighteen, but I've yet to find out if there's any grants or anything for the university level courses and stuff like that.

[internalized]

Even for someone who never went to school?

[pause.]

Mmm, I guess that would be a reason not to give a grant...

[evokeslovers]

[ Never went to school? Well, that's... ]

Yeah. For university, that's probably not going to be something they'd want to do. But in that case, they might be willing to bend the rules for high-school. But you'd have to try to get in touch with the government and ask, I'd imagine.

[internalized]

Alright. I can try that...

[...he really doesn't sound very confident about it, though.]

Being here is more difficult than I anticipated.

[evokeslovers]

Yeah. I... there's a bunch of stuff beyond the obvious about this place that you really need to get used to. Like... I used to live on my own, but it was always in a dorm room. Not an apartment by myself. Everything about living like this is different.

[internalized]

Oh. You lived alone in a dorm before this...? [smiles.] That's amazing, Yukari-san.

[although he wonders if he can really adjust here, if it's hard even for someone like that.]

I mean... that must require a lot of responsibility. Not everyone you age can manage that.

[evokeslovers]

Really? It never seemed to be anything special to me...

[ Of course, with how her mom lived after her Dad died, figuring out how to do things alone became pretty necessary so she could avoid having to see her with a new boyfriend all the time. So she definitely had a lot of incentive. ]

[internalized]

It's more than I could ever do. [not to mention all the terrible things he's sure she's had to deal with here.]

Well... thank you for the help. Sorry to bother you.

[evokeslovers]

Don't worry about it. I mean, I did say that you could give me a call anytime, didn't I?

[internalized]

Yes, you did. I'm thankful still.

[evokeslovers]

Okay then. You're welcome, Sei.

[ Though you know... ]

Hey, have you been adjusting to finding everything here alright? Or do you still need someone to show you around and stuff?

[internalized]

Mmm... adjusting as well as I could be, I think. But I'd love something like that. I haven't got to explore much.

...Are you... offering?

[evokeslovers]

[ Aww. Poor Sei. Yukari could tell that something was up with him. At least with how he lived back home. If he couldn't, you know, tell that she was offering and stuff like that. ]

Yeah, I am. I really don't mind at all.

[internalized]

Sure... thank you. That sounds great. Maybe you can show me your school.

[evokeslovers]

Yeah, I guess I can do that...

[ Not that she really likes it all that much, but still. It would definitely something that he hadn't seen before. ]

[internalized]

[sensing that may not be super thrilling for her...] Anywhere you wanted to show me would make me happy, to be honest. [awkward.] Should I meet you somewhere?

[evokeslovers]

Alright. We'll just go around the city then and figure things out from there.

Do you know where Well Twisted is? You know, the coffee shop?

[internalized]

Um... I think so. Yes, I know. We'll meet there?

[evokeslovers]

Yeah. It's as good of a place as any to start with. So, you okay with meet up there around lunch time in a couple of days?

[internalized]

Yes... that sounds wonderful. I can't wait. [he sounds earnestly excited.]

[evokeslovers]

Great! I'll see you then!

[ OOC: I'm going to be putting up a catch-all log for Yukari in about a day or two at the most, so I'll send you a link once it's up if that works for you. ]

[internalized]

((Totally works for me! C:))
