[ ...

Hang on, she's buffering here. Thinking. With all the new terms she's heard being thrown around here, Chizuru has to sift through what she did hear about yet and what she didn't..

But, no, she's pretty sure she hasn't heard of this particular one. ]

video games

[ ??? ]

what are those

[ She recognizes the rest, at least! Obviously. ]

[lightthedarkness]

They're games you play on a TV or at an arcade. They involve moving pictures and being able to control the pictures.

[tealeafs]

[ T.. V...

Arcade...

....

Chizuru wonders if maybe she should just lean over and ask Robby. Surely he'd know, right? But then again, he seems to be busy talking to someone as well, so-- m-maybe she can figure it out without looking super stupid! Even though she's totally frowning down at her Omni in confusion as she writes: ]

what can you do with those pictures once you control them then

[lightthedarkness]

Depends on the story! Some pictures you can do racing, others you can save whole kingdoms as a hero, others you can raise little pets and friends, just depends on the game.

[tealeafs]

it sounds like you can do so much
i am not sure i can imagine it very well but
it does sound like these video games are truly amazing

i would like to raise little pets and friends

[ Just, you know. In general. But out of those options, that one sure sounds like the most appealing one to her. Chizuru has had enough strife in her life, just let her live out her ideal dream life raising cute little buddies... ]

[lightthedarkness]

That's one of my favorite things to do too! I should show you how to play Animal Crossing! I got that back in Deerington.

[tealeafs]

are you saying i could really play
are you really willing to teach me

i would be overenjoyed for this momentous occasion

[ Yes, she's getting all formal purely because she's so excited and overwhelmed by this idea that she has no idea how to else show it. This is the best thing that's happened to her lately!!! How does she even properly show her gratitude!! ]

[lightthedarkness]

Of course! We can play while you try on the kimonos and furisodes!

[tealeafs]

[ There's a tiny pause.

Mostly because Chizuru is just truly that overwhelmed by this person's generosity. Not only are they willing to share their clothes to let Chizuru try those on, they're even willing to teach her about video games..

People in this place truly are too kind, Chizuru thinks. ]

all of that is so sweet of you
it makes me so happy
thank you so much
i do not even know what i could possibly do to repay you for all of this kindness

[ Because it doesn't feel like anything would be enough to do so. ]

[lightthedarkness]

Spending time with me is plenty of repayment! I always love making new friends!

[tealeafs]

alright
then i will do my best to become your friend
i have not made many friends before back home but i have been trying my best to get better at friendship ever since i showed up here

[ You know, as if friendship something someone can.. practice.. and get good at..

Chizuru sure seems to believe so. ]

[lightthedarkness]

You sound like an absolute sweetheart.

I will try and be a good friend, too. I'm Usagi Tsukino, by the way. [Perhaps Chizuru can appreciate how like her namesake Usagi is.]

[tealeafs]

[ .. Usagi. Right, that does seem like an uncommon name. Not that Chizuru has been among people a whole lot, but she still sure hasn't heard of anyone with that name before though..

But it's cute. And it does suit the girl in a way, Chizuru thinks. ]

my name is chizuru yukimura
it is very nice to meet you tsukinosan

[lightthedarkness]

Ah ah, if we're gonna be friends and I'm giving you clothes, you can call me Usagi.

[tealeafs]

just that
is that not a little too forward

[ It's not like it's the first time she's faced this conundrum though - it feels just like when Heisuke told her to just call him by his first name, though this feels even earlier than how that happened. ]

how about usagisan then

[ T-That's a good compromise, right..? ]

[lightthedarkness]

I'll get you to call me Usagi all by itself soon enough.

But for now, Usagi-san is fine.
