Love And Property Damage

[silentasthe_glaive]

[Well that’s one way to make an entrance. Or at least, the aftermath of an entrance. There’s a small, perfectly spherical crater in the ground, tinged at the edges with what looks like purple energy. If someone scans the damage, there appear to be trace amounts of something that could be magic-based energies. Also, ringed around that crater are the tattered remains of a poor and unfortunate couch in the wrong place at the wrong time.]

Added to all that, there’s a young girl perched on another couch nearby. (And this one doesn’t carry any grudges for the untimely destruction of its kin.) She looks just shy this side of dazed and out of it, and the brochure is being held in shaky hands.]

“This is really interesting but… how do I go home? CAN I get home? I’m not sure if-“

[She cuts off on that. Things are still blurry and out of focus, and she can feel a headache building if she focuses too hard. So instead Hotaru rubs at her forehead, and switches tracks.]

"…Maybe I should ask a different question? If that’s okay, um… actually I don’t know what else I should ask. What should I ask about?”

"Our latest and greatest invention is the automobile, and very basic models at that. But it's great for traveling short distances that the trains aren't good for."

He smiles. Hotaru may be shy, but he loves how open she is to getting herself out there. That, and her excitement to allow him to adopt her be his family's guest for a while.

"I'm certain some of the stores along the forum have something in purple that would be appropriate." He stands from the couch and offers her a hand. "Shall we find out together?"

Hotaru nods at the automobile comment. She's paid attention in school since there wasn't much else to do and gets an idea on what the technology level might be like. It... actually doesn't sound too rough, all things considered.

"Yes please!" She's a little hushed even with her exclamation, but doesn't hesitate to take his hand and pull herself up. She's ready enough to try out some new things, shopping being the start.
