WHAT in person
WHERE ALL OVER
WHEN day 7, evening -> night
NOTES it's just a mingle really

[ Maybe you're getting off work now, or maybe you're just heading there. Or maybe you don't even have a job? Either way, it's a nice quiet evening to be outside in Quiet Mounds. Out on the streets, there's no sound at all. No birds or crickets, no murmur of crowds, no traffic. Isn't it peaceful? ]

Ah— I'll keep that in mind, but I'll have to pass on the second one.

That's alright, it's not a requirement.

I would have to spend at least a week straight on the dance game in the arcade if it were.

[ that's a good reminder for DUMPING HER WALLET though, which while not a requirement damn well should be in her opinion ]

—now, that's generous! Thank you very much.

You're welcome. One of the advantages of not strictly needing to buy groceries is that I have plenty to throw at you and that other busker.

Oh, you've met Stef!

Ah— is that his name? I hang around when he plays, mostly; we haven't spoken much.

He's my roommate. And closest friend.

I'll have to say hello the next time I see him, then.

Do. Stef is a nickname. It's Stefen, really.

Stefen-san... mm, I'll remember.

Speaking of friends— if you see a tall boy with teal hair, that's the person I mentioned earlier. I'll point him your way, too; I feel like the two of you would get along pretty well.

Of course I want to meet him. What's his name...?

Mikuo Hatsune.

Mikuo Hatsune...

[just saying it aloud to make sure he has the pronunciation]

Should I address him by his full name?

[ shaking her head ]

Just Mikuo is probably fine. You can use his family name if you want to be more polite, but I don't think he'd necessarily expect it here.

Alright, good to know.

Oh— though, that does remind me.

[ hesitates for like half a second before forging ahead ]

...mm. If he mentions "Eve," that's me; that was the name I had when he knew me.

...I really did pick the right song.

You really, really did.

What's... the situation, anyway? Is he a spirit, or...?

[ shaking her head ]

He's still human, just... not dead anymore, somehow. I have no idea how, but I'm not inclined in the slightest to look that gift horse in the mouth.

Oh—no, absolutely, that's incredible. Does... does he remember everything?

... yes.

...well.

That simplifies things, but Lord and Lady. Do you want a hug?

[ well, she managed to be reasonably okay for like five whole minutes

shoving her hands up over her eyes in an attempt to stave off crying again and nods wordlessly ]
