[ When you enter the TV, the room surrounding you is notably blank - appearing something like this. Which may seem odd, until words appear out of thin air in front of you: ]

Today, we're going to go through an interactive story of sorts!

You're a college student who's just transferred to a new university, and you have a week to make new friends and potentially find that ~special someone~ people always worry about having.

Luckily for you, your college has a club fair for transfer students just like you! You're headed off there to meet some of your fellow students and get a better lay of the land.

But before we begin, there's just one important thing I need to get down...who are you?

MINAMI - EVENT #1.

[inbeta]

When you get there, there's a flurry of activity at the dance studio - mostly the dancers leaving after a day's practice. Once the crowd thins, you're able to enter the studio to find Mizushima still in her leotard, practicing.

When you enter, she turns around, surprised.



MANAMI: Ah, uhm...hello, there. Can I help you?



YASUHIRO: Hi, I'm Tachibana Yasuhiro. I was interested in checking out the ballet company...although it looks like I was too late to catch practice.



MANAMI: Oh, really? I'm glad to hear it. We just wrapped up practice, but if you come by an hour earlier tomorrow you'll be able to catch it then.



YASUHIRO: Great, thanks.



MANAMI: Are you a fan of ballet, then? We usually only get dancers who are interested...

You nod. Mizushima's smile seems to brighten even further.



MANAMI: Really? What's your favorite ballet?

> La Sylphide.
> Giselle.

...does anyone know what those plays are about?

No idea.

[thevoidsdarkhorse]

....a Slyph would be a...healing type of thing. So that would be a good thingy?

Re: DISCUSSION.

[secretofthefox]

Maybe. It sounds kind of fancy, too, so we could go with that.

[thevoidsdarkhorse]

Kay!

[glorifiedtrash]

La Sylphide might have something to do with Sylph or wind. Giselle is a girl's name far as I know.

[Thinking on this HRM]

Let's try La Sylphide.

Re: DISCUSSION.

[thevoidsdarkhorse]

Wind is also good with the Slyph thing.

Re: DISCUSSION.

[glorifiedtrash]

It's kind of weird how some of the stuff from my world is pretty common.

Re: DISCUSSION.

[thevoidsdarkhorse]

It could say a thing about humanity. Or maybe a translation thing?

YASUHIRO: I'd have to say La Sylphide, I think. It's a neat twist on a classic fairytale love story.



MINAMI: La Sylphide is certainly a classic... Not one of my personal favorites, but not a bad choice at all.

She takes a glance at the clock and then gasps.



MANAMI: Oh, I have to go....I'm going to be late unless I get changed and head home. We can continue our conversation when you come by tomorrow, okay?

You say your goodbyes with Mizushima, who you feel still sees you as a stranger, and then you head home for the day.
