[[OOC: If the involved players would like her DR post to be canon, then this journal post can come after it. I'd be happy to finish those threads there.]]

Hello everyone. For those of you who may not know me, my name is Chiyo and I'm a Vaporeon. I first arrived at Smash Academy two years back and spent, according to the time here, a year away on an unexpected break. If by chance you may be curious as to where I've been, I was away traveling through a few worlds before I was able to find a portal to return here. Speaking of which, portals can be rather complicated to understand and use, so please be careful when you see or plan to use one, okay?

That aside, I'll be in college this year! I'm greatly looking forward to studying, spending time in the library and greenhouse, swimming, and hanging out with friends again. Although I'm saddened to have discovered that several friends I knew have left, I still look forward to making new friends and hope we'll have a pleasant year together.

In the meantime, I'll be taking a walk around the school and will be looking to reunite with some friends. If you'd like to meet or text me, please feel free to do so. I'll have my phone with me and will answer any texts as soon as I'm able.

Again, it's nice to be back. I hope I didn't cause too much trouble when I disappeared. If I did, I'd like to make it up to you. Other than that, hope you have a great day!

Private Text to Mondo:

Hello Mondo. If it's alright with you, could we meet? I'd like to talk to you. If not, then... I'll understand.

Sincerely,
Chiyo

[...yeah he might have gone too far, he quickly realizes. It might be over video, but Eikichi is goo at pickup up traits when he's actually paying attention, and he changes tactics really quickly. Especially when she went on and started to fidget.]

Hey hey...don't be nervous. I wasn't threatening you or anything, okay?

What...? O-Oh, no. I, I didn't think you were threatening me or anything. Sorry.

[Worry and a pinch of guilt started to work its way in. She hadn't intended for him to feel that he was doing so.]

It's... It's just in my nature to be like this sometimes. I'm sorry. I... I guess you could say I embarrass easily? I still can't handle compliments very well.

[Just mentioning and thinking about it again made her blush. Chiyo had absolutely no defenses against flirts - if Michel was indeed one.]

[He should feel proud that it worked, but really, there is nothing but guilt there. she's not the only one stuttering now.]

O-oh. Um...w-well I didn't mean it! [WAIT A MINUTE...SHIT!] Uh I mean uh that I didn't mean to make you feel embarrassed.

[Where was that cool, collected personality? Gone in a ditch somewhere.]

[Things suddenly seemed to be spiraling down now with the two of them falling apart.]

Uweh? [Her heart sunk when he said he didn't mean it before he corrected himself.] Ah, no. It's, it's really okay. Don't worry about it.

[Wow, this was awkward.]

Umm... [What to say? Come on. Something, Chiyo. Anything.] Do you... like Smash? Academy?

[This is how they rolled. The Awkward train to Awkward Ville in Awkward Central Final Destination]

Y-yeah! Of course I do! I-I mean, I kinda wanna get back home sometimes and I'm bummed I seem to be stuck here, but after realizin' that I'll probably end back home at the time I left it, I'm fine with it.

[Con....fusing....]

Uh...well what about you? [Wait she already did that with her introduction. He's just going to pretend that he knows what he's talking about.]

[Arrivals and departures, plus time and dimensions, were always a confusing thing at Smash. Chiyo never realized people could be plucked from a point in time and randomly return to it.

The things you learn.]

I'm sorry to hear you felt down at times, though I'm glad you've adjusted. [She wasn't sure if portals would help him get home since his case sounded different. Some research would be good to do before she suggested anything that could help him home - if he still wanted to go.]

I like it here. [The awkward air between them had her forgetting about her introduction.] Um, it's a really unique place... as I'm sure you know. But there are great people here and, and I've made some wonderful friends. The school also taught me how to change into a human form, and for that, I'm most grateful. It's really opened up a lot of doors for me.
