				Meanwhile my silly ass is already working out my first post in my head. So far all I know is Taku is gonna wake up in a hallway seat after sleeping for who knows how long, and probably get himself a cup of coffee from a vending machine. <br><br>Why this specific set of things I honestly have no idea, but I have it in my head it just sounds like something he could/would do. &lt;_&gt;

But we can definitely fix that if people are interested! Speaking of which, I'm up to that idea, Gard, if you like for Takuya to know Yue to a small degree. Maybe he had seen her at work when he did deliveries to her place and maybe he stuck around for a drink or two. More of like they may recognize each other's faces and names but nothing more.<br><br>Other than that, if anybody would think their characters would like a drinking buddy or would visit a strip club, I would definitely be open for more connections! Yue is a friendly person really, so I wouldn't be very surprised if she knows a few people here and there.

				So then yes, I'm definitely game for this xD<br><br>I feel like with Takuya's job of running deliveries of various sorts, he probably could have glimpsed everyone with maybe a passing glance at best. Anyone can feel free to opt out if they want, though unless meetings go further, to Taku it'll just be a 'Hey you look kind of familiar...' deal. o=

				I don't think I specifically mentioned it, but Alf worked as a chef (who'd have thought) at a small, mom'n'pop diner type place. He might have even sent Takuya off with little lunches or something, on the sly (trying to help his fellow working man out, you know).

				There probably isn't a whole lot of opportunity for previous contact between Samantha and the others. It may be that Takuya made a delivery to the mansion one time - but overall, she's led an isolated life so her running into one of your characters would take a big pile of coincidence.
