<strong>Name</strong>;  Alessa Silverstone.<br/><strong>Location</strong>;  Tokyo, Japan; Shibuya District<br/><strong>Time</strong>;  Early morning, 6:00 A.M. ish<br/><strong>Tagged</strong>;  Melisa Artemis and Ryuuji Kurokaze.  Karl Williamson by email.<br/><br/>It was good that they had more things in common than Alessa would have ever dared to guess, let alone hope as Melisa carried on, making her smile faintly the whole time.  There was nothing wrong with not being interested in guys or having not given much thought to them but then another thought crossed her mind.  Was she interested in girls then?  There was nothing wrong with that to Alessa's eyes persay but she wasn't sure if she herself was...into that whole thing.  She was too shy to ask as her face all but turned tomato red but she quickly brushed it away for later consideration.  She didn't seem the sort to press anything big like that so Alessa didn't dwell on it then.  If it came up she'd kindly and politely get things turned elsewhere if nothing else...at least that's what she told herself.  Who knew what might happen though if push came to shove.  For now she did feel better, so that was a plus.  She was curious though, what they would do now that she had at least finished her rather tasty toast and her drink, her stomach feeling better if not actually full.  "I'm glad that we seem to have a fair bit in common Melisa.  It'll make this whole thing easier if we aren't tearing each other's hair out."  She laughed lightly, feeling more and more at ease the more she talked to the woman who liked to sleep or play in Eden in the nude.   "At any rate, what should we do now?  I'd still like to stay in for today I think but I'm up for ideas.  Besides, I'm not entirely thrilled with the idea of someone following us around all the time.  I guess I'm used to fighting my own battles but that's the Eden part of me talking.  It...feels good to be able to walk and run like a normal person in there.  In a way, I guess you could say Eden kept me sane through some tough times when I was younger, although since it hasn't been out that long it wasn't too much longer, but there were other games besides Eden.  You...I hope you get the idea anyway.  But now...I'm down one best friend and from what I saw on the news, I have no home to return to either."<br/><br/>Sighing heavily as she looked away, Alessa realized she had probably just killed the mood.  "Sorry...maybe I'm not the best guest to have around at the moment.  Other than the loss of family pictures and other personal items that can't be replaced...I really am not missing the apartment I had, but the loss of life....not just Vergil but everyone that was in that building when it went up....that is what hurts more although losing him hurt the most.  I can't thank you enough from stopping me from throwing myself at the Balor, Melisa.  You did a good thing and made me see reason when I needed to the most.  Now...I just hope we can figure out what happened."  She whispered, but she beat back what was trying to claw its way to the surface, refusing to dwell on it any further, at least for the moment.  Forcing a smile, Alessa looked back to her new friend and shrugged.  "Ok, sad part's over with."<br/>(Would it be wise to skip a few hours here soon do you guys think?  Just asking.  Also Melisa, I have a few funny but albeit naughty ideas for the two of them if you're interested lol.  Later though.  Also, I wonder but she probably only has the one VR pod.  Would it be possible to add a second, provided you allow her to stay with her of course since she doesn't have a home in New York anymore.  We'll play that by ear later, the whole staying and all.)
