[Video/Action]

[blazebottom]

[Boxes and bags and a slight mess can be seein in the background when the feed cuts in. A light, cheery tune can be heard in the distance before it stops when a possibly familiar face plops on the chair in front of the feed and wipes their forehead.]

Hey ya'll! Sorry I didn' take the time ta say I was on my way back, but hey, what better way than now during unpackin'?! Got a new room this time 'round tho we all know how them dorms like switchin' it up on us erry now an' then. So, for now, if you wana come on down an' say hello, feel free ta pass by BW eight!

Especially those folk who know I always want ta know if they're okay and fine. Don't make me come to yer rooms now y'hear?

[She smiled and blew a kiss at the camera.]

I'm glad to be back~

[And with a wave, she cuts the video. Still marked as online if anyone wants to chat, audio, video and what have you. Or you can pass by the room! In any case, she seemed as welcoming as always. Hello, you were all missed.]

[Char hadn't been paying a huge deal of attention while he'd been going through the network, but hello. This was not someone he was gonna overlook.]

Now there's a face I didn't expect to be seein' again.

Re: [video]

[blazebottom]

[Judging by the excited expression on her face, Char is definitely someone she was looking forward to seeing. She might have even unknowingly bounced a little on her seat.]

Char! Hey! I'd give ya a hug, but maybe I can save that fer later. How've ya been?

[rivalkidneypunch]

A whole lot better right now, that's for sure. Where you been all this time?

[blazebottom]

[That made her smile again.]

Oh y'know, travelin', trainin' visitin' the old farmers an' friends from back home. It was nice to see the countryside again, but I had a hankerin' fer here for a while so I jus' had ta come back.

Sides, yer here too! [She added as a small playful note.]

[rivalkidneypunch]

Am I really that hard to stay away from?

[A facetious question, but judging from the way the light kept shifting behind him, he couldn't quite keep his tail from wagging.]

I get that the wanderlust hits every now and then, but all the same, I gotta admit you're a real welcome sight.

[rivalthunderbolts]

[Jolt didn't even bother to respond. He knew what he had to do.

He shot up from his chair like a bolt, and tore off down the hall towards her new room, and started to claw at the door. In human form. He could do that.]

[blazebottom]

Now who could that be I wonder...

[Riwane put a box down and made her way to the door. Not being one to be very wary of someone at the door, she simply opened it wide. Her hair up in a long ponytail and behind a bandana, sporting a loose shirt and an apron, she looked straight out of a cleaning commercial, sans the tail.]

Hey!

[She definitely looked excited to see someone she cared about and Jolt might have found himself in a swift hug.]

[rivalthunderbolts]

[But not before Jolt threw his arms around one of his best friends in response, lifting her off her feet!]

You're back! I missed you SO DAMN MUCH!

[blazebottom]

[Riwane chuckled, smiling down at him before speaking.]

Well now, guess yous did! I missed ya too y'know. Glad yer lookin' good an' safe!

[babylonmechanic]

[Wave walked into her dorm room... and was greeted with the most unpleasant sight ever. Another person.]

I knew it was too good to last...

[blazebottom]

[Riwane had been putting up a few things before she turned to the newcomer.]

Oh, hey, y'must be Wave? I'm Riwane, yer new roommate. Nice t'meet ya!

[babylonmechanic]

Yeah, sure thing.

[She was so enjoying the solitude...]

So, this all your stuff?

[blazebottom]

[Sorry Wave, but you got a social roommate now!]

Sorta, lotsa them are gifts I brought fer friends, or produce from the farm I brought fer the kitchen. Y'can have sum if you'd like! Lots of nice fresh veggies an' fruits.

[jonny_talbain]

[Oh hey look - Jon is using the video chat feature on the phone you got him. Things have really progressed since you were last here, huh? He's outside under one of the cherry trees, somewhere in town.]

Oi, you! Welcome back. Sorry I missed your arrival - did you need help unpacking or anything?

[blazebottom]

[Riwane beamed at him happily.] It's alright! I figured you musta been busy anyways. What with yer new teachin' job an' all.

An' you know better n' askin' if I need help. Seein' you would be nice though, if ya got time later on.

[jonny_talbain]

I know you don't especially need the help, just as you know I'm prone to ask anyway.

[He started moving in the video feed. The sounds of a book closing and footsteps can be heard.]

I've time right now. My teaching job certainly doesn't consume my every waking moment, you know. I'll be there in short order.

You had a good trip back, I trust? How are things on the farm?

[blazebottom]

[Riwane gave a cheerful cheer and nodded.]

I'll be lookin' forward ta seein' ya! Missed ya fer sure.

[She paused for a moment befor she sighed.]

Still run by that jerk, but he eventually asked gramps and gran for help when he realized runnin' that place ain' as easy as his scams.

Saw less an' less of 'im after that an' things are lookin' up I'd say.

[knock knock knockity knock knock]

Hey! Riwaaaa-neeeeeee!

[Someone is super happy to see his buddy back and just had to make her something in the kitchen as a Welcome Home gift.]

[blazebottom]

[Riwane answered the door after a minute, greeting said person with a cheerful smile.]

Sonny! [And now that she saw who it was, the smile was accompanied by a nice big hug.]

[punchtheflute]

[Sonny's reflexes were not the quickest on the planet. But he managed to hold the plate of cookies up and out of the way before the hug became a cookie crusher. He hugged her back with his free arm.]

Hello! I made you some cookies! Ginger and cinnamon! It's really good to see you're back!

[blazebottom]

Sounds good! I'm happy to see ya and thanks hon!

[Riwane took the cookies, setting them on her bedside table and grabbing a few before giving them a taste.]

Mmm-Mm! Yer as good as always Sonny!

[GASP. IS THIS HER NEW SISTER? CHIYO IS B E Y O N D EXCITED. OH GOSH, SHE DOESN'T EVEN KNOW WHAT TO SAY.

Oh, HOLY MOLTRES. THE FEED HAS BEEN RUNNING THIS WHOLE TIME. AH.]

Ah, uh. Um. Wow! HI!

[Chiyo has a really wide smile on her face as well as a blossoming shade of red on her cheeks.]

I'm, I'm Chiyo. I. I think Jon has mentioned to you about me, right? I think? ...Maybe?

[Oh god. Words.]

It's... It's so nice to meet you finally! C-Can I call you... "Sister?"

Re: [Video]

[blazebottom]

[Riwane took a sec to load up the feed and there she was again, the bright and shiny farm girl x firetail.]

Well aren't ya the cutest~ Jus' like Moonshine said. I'm real glad I'm gettin' ta meetcha rite off the bat too! I've been lookin' forward e'er since I found out you had joined up and golly, lemme tell you how happy I am!

[She paused her ranting for a second and smiled brightly.]

A'course ya can! Ain't it whut we are now sis?!

[almost_a_mermaid]

[Hearing Riwane call her 'sis' in return caused the greatest amount of warmth and joy to flood within her. She couldn't have been happier at that moment to feel welcomed as a member of the family.]

I'm. I'm so happy too! I've always wanted to meet you! I'm so glad you're here. We can all spend time together as a family now. I'm so looking forward to it. Do you need any help unpacking? I'll gladly come help you.

[blazebottom]

Reckon we would've wether I came back or not! [She replied cheerily with a nod.]

But I gotta say I'm glad ta be back fur sure! An' I would love to spend every bit 'a time I can with ya if you'd like. Ain't gonna put ya ta work, but I wouldn't mind the company!
