Hello,
How is everyone? Are you all sleeping well?

[ After at least three rough drafts, and one peer review by her (illiterate) roommate, Juvia has finally arrived onto the network with a post she can be proud of. ]

Juvia has been thinking. Are there any stories you all like?
Or, maybe, things from your home you want to share. It could be anything. Your favorite food, person, book, or place.
I will share something to start: Juvia would bring her guild, Fairy Tail, if she could.

Thank you

Agreed. I haven't had a lot of time to myself after our arrival. It's all been a very strange move.
You should be able to find it though in the markets.

I've gotten some packets of tea, but Juvia isn't familiar with it. As for soup, my roommate has been making our food for the time being, so it's whatever he wants to make.

ill have to check it out soon

im glad you got me thinking about food so thanks

maybe you can go to the market and get some soup too

[Wow, he feels like he's nailing this conversation. But that's about all they can do with food...]

whats your favorite place? here or back home

It's no trouble. Even though we're so far into making new lives for ourselves, Juvia was thinking it wouldn't hurt to talk a little about the past. Or food. Food works, too.

I was considering that, but I'm hesitant to try anything I don't already know.
It's why the tea hasn't been touched yet.

And Juvia's favorite place back home is her guild, Fairy Tail.
My favorite place here, while there is no enjoyment, would be where the pods are.

[Wow, that answer at the end is a bit of a downer, but he relates to that feeling. A lot. Small talk is actually difficult for him, but he decides to power through]

talking about the past is all we have to show for it
i dont think talking about is a bad thing

there has to be at least one good soup or tea out there right
i mostly eat fish so i guess i wouldnt know

whats your guild like

In person, it can be. It's beginning to feel like the only real freedom we have is in our homes, and on this network.

[ it's ok...Juvia is just as terrible at small talk, so she's trying her Best ]

And possibly. For now, I only trust the food my roommate cooks. He seems to know what he's doing.

It is like.. It is.. Fairy Tail is very warm, I think.
Juvia was part of another guild before that, and it only made the storm inside my heart flourish.
Fairy Tail, for the first time, gave me clear skies.

id never thought of it like that
maybe for someone like me i feel like i have too much freedom
more than i ever needed

[Having to start all over from nothing and alone hasn't been easy on him, but he immediately regrets saying something so personal. Oh, well. It's not like anyone knows who he is. Right? He honestly doesn't know how phones work.]

and he wont make soup for you ?
what a jerk

fairy tail sounds like a nice place then
im not really poetic or anything but i think i know what you mean
maybe

Why is that?

[ Not that Juvia knows how to work phones either-- she figures people will recognize her through sheer mention of her name, alone, if they know her. ]

Rin isn't a jerk. Juvia just doesn't ask much of him outside of what he already does.. since he does all the cooking, and I provide for us.
It's all tasty to me, anyway.

It is. Juvia likes it a lot. But the building is gone now, since our world's gone too. So it will live with me! Until other members wake up that is.
I hope I'm a good representative.
Did you have anything you thought was nice at your home?

[Whoops. He jumped to too many conclusions. His image of this chef was someone who didn't listen to others, but that doesn't appear to be the case.]

i havent exactly had a normal life i guess
starting over like this changes a lot of things for me

sorry i shouldnt have jumped to conclusions like that
im sure hes nice
but if hes that nice maybe you can ask him to make you soup
nice people like cooking for others i think

for me
i guess it was the restaurant i worked in
i liked it there a lot

Juvia understands. The only good thing about this, I suppose, is that we're all on the same boat no matter our lives or our world. I met someone with technology more advanced than mine, but we still have a lot in common. Things like that.

You don't have to apologize. Misunderstandings happen.
He is very nice though.. When I go to work on a job, he packs me lunch.
If I miss him when I wake up, he leaves it there for me in the kitchen.
Juvia used to live by herself, so having someone help out like that is nice.
Do you like your roommates?

And what did you do there????

yeah ive been thinking about that too
someone could be a king or a queen but here we dont have any of that prestige
we should all be working together and getting used to this place which isnt so bad
i think we owe these people for taking us in without asking questions

actually i think all my roommates moved out
maybe it was something i did

i had to do a bit of everything
waiter cashier baker
guy who keeps the head chef from slacking off
i dont think most restaurants need a guy for that last task but we had two working on it

You're living by yourself???

[ she isn't sure if he's lucky, or possibly lonely ]

Ah.. My apologies.. Hearing that distracted me.
Unless you bullied them, Juvia doesn't think you did anything.
But about being indebted to these people.. I feel like we do owe them something for the obvious.
Outside of that, we don't know much about them.

Did you like baking? You said you liked the restaurant, so was it that? Or something else?
Was it keeping people from slacking?!

i think so?
its hard to tell
they either arent here or havent come back in a while
it really could have been something i did

[He's not sure he really cares enough to find out.]

weve got plenty of time to learn
but i guess they arent really aware of whats going on huh
its still nice that they let so many of us in

it was pretty lively so i liked that
but i liked

the baking
the baking was the best part

[What a suspicious line break. Is it a typo, or did he start typing something heartfelt and change it at the last second? It's definitely the latter.]

It's..it's hard to tell if you're living by yourself??

[ There is no mercy in this house when Juvia hears something ridiculous..! ]

I suppose we do, now that you mention it. It'd be nice if they started sometime now, though.
It is good of them to let us in on their world. Juvia just wonders if there was anyway they could've stopped the storm, though, despite that.

...Why did you leave a sentence unfinished? [ She notices that suspicious line break..... ] And then start a new one after?
Did you forget to put something...?

yeah we arent close or anything
and its not like i can just walk into their rooms to check
what if theyre changing or doing something gross

[That's his concern here. Lewdness.]

do you really think theyre that powerful
its hard for me to tell if they could or couldnt
why do you think that

im answering your questions the best i can
my hands slipped
i wasnt about to accidentally say something personal

[Wow, even lying over text is hard for him. He wants to be extra sure everyone knows he wasn't about to say something personal!!]

Juvia sincerely doubts that they're changing, or doing something gross.
Don't buys leave notes when they're doing that stuff anyway so you don't walk in?

And yes. While not having met them directly, to be able to create and collect so many people from different worlds to let us live here.. Juvia thinks they must be very powerful mages.

[ Juvia brings her screen absurdly close to her eyes, reading over the last part of his text with a realization that hits her at the fastest speed possible. ]

Oh my god.
You were totally about to accidentally say something personal.
Why did you stop??

is that what guys do
i don't really know much about that stuff i just lock the door

[Wait, does that make it sound like he's not a guy?]

mages huh
that makes more sense to me
i dont really know a lot about machines but magic is pretty powerful
teleportation is something im used to

[Finally, someone who thinks magic makes more sense than machines, maybe?]

wait how did you know
i just said that was what i wasnt going to do not what i was going to do
how did you figure it out
