1st ☆ Miiracle Voice

[miiraculous]

 [Arriving in a new world should not have shaken her this much, yet Rika found herself stowed away in her room for the first day. The only link she had to Hinamizawa was the calendar page in her hand: June 30th. Everything else was gone; Stuck in another fragment, which she could not reach on her own. Not even that clumsy goddess would answer Rika when she has here.

She did have her familiar, a nekomata, to keep her company. Who was not as whiny as Hanyu. And a cellphone, which her 1980s self was woefully unprepared to use. She eventually flips it open and recognizes its similarity to the dial-up phone at her house.]

Mii... Can I be heard? Have I called anyone..? [She isn't confident that she reached a public network, so sighs sadly,] I do not have any friends to call here, do I? They're all back home... in danger. Counting on me...

[There's a sad wibble in her voice. It surprises even Rika to hear herself so close to tears. But the realization that she's separated from her friends is hitting her harder when she speaks the reality out loud. Rika has to wipe her eyes and draw in a calming breath. With some alarming skill, she masks her sadness under a more cheerful tone;]

... Sorry. My name is Rika Furude~! I am newly arrived. It is nice to meet everyone.

I have been told that my kitty friend and I can help out with magic. Is there a school for learning such a thing? Or... nihehe. [Rika pulls the device back slightly from her ear, realizing her mistake.] Maybe I should have called a number first. Phones do not magically connect to everyone at once, silly silly!

[He's used to the concept of a phone. Not that he necessarily had a cellphone himself but. The idea seems straightforward enough with talking to someone. Or writing a text. Kyo just hasn't been the best in keeping up to date with technology or pop culture. More prone to spending his time outside or training or such than worrying about that sort of thing. But he gets the basic idea. More or less. So what greets everyone is initially a closer up of his uniquely coloured eyes before it shifts in getting the rest of him in the picture. A red haired teenage boy.]

I hope this thing is working. Else I'm gonna look and feel pretty stupid. But. I'm one of the newer arrivals, I guess. Name's Kyo. I know a couple people from home are here as well, so. For anyone that helped look out for Tohru.....thanks.

As far as what I want to do here, I'm not sure. She mentioned magic and stuff but I'm still figuring all that out, I guess. On what I can do here. I dunno yet if back home, if that still applies here, with the zodi....never mind. [No need to bring up the zodiac curse. Not unless he has to. Back home it was more something known about with certain family members and staff only, after all. And Tohru. Always the exception.] There's an area for training, and a school for figuring out that magic stuff, right? so I'll try look into that, I guess. If that might help me with figuring whatever magic I have here now and how to use it. While I figure out what I'm gonna be doing here exactly, anyway. I was also wondering if there's a dojo around or not. I don't want to get too rusty with my martial arts. If anyone was keen to spar or something sometime.

[He sighs, running a hand through his hair, glancing down briefly.]

....someone called this place something like a second chance. I guess it is in a way. For me at least. Before....dealing with things back home, I mean. Having more time. [More time with Tohru. Given he's all but resigned himself to his fate as the Cat.] One good thing about this place even if I'm still figuring it all out. I haven't even thought about work or whatever.

[How to help support himself and Tohru. He's only just got here so maybe that is understandable but also. This concept of thinking of the future isn't something he is used to. Given he is all but resigned to his fate in being locked away back home.

It's about now that his familiar, a bakeneko seems to sense his uneasy train of thought and comes to him, shifting right in the way of the camera and reaching to turn it off just as Kyo's in the middle of trying to tell him off.]
