My, my. I never would have imagined that Man-Home use to look liked this, it is quite different from what it ends up becoming. It's rather nice though, it feels as I'm experiencing history now; though technically speaking if I'm here, it probably means I was meant to which means I was already part of it. Strange how that works.

Enough of my rambling. My name is Alicia Florence and I hail from Neo-Venezia. It's quite a lovely place and if any of you are seeking a beautiful, calm and relaxing place it's the way to go! You'll have all you need, but simplicity and mellowness. It's certainly a nice place for a romantic outing!

It feels strange to leave it, admittedly but I will probably be going back very often. Akari had become a Prima however so it was time for her to take over. I came here for some studies since after so many years of working I have much saved up. It seems as if I have been working backwards however; I had a nice, secure job that I loved and now I'm going to a University to study? Ah, but I am content with the way my life is traveling thus far.

I will be attending Flamingo University, majoring in European History. It would be nice to study what inspired my most loved home.

There aren't many rivers around, unfortunately, but I still have my gondola. There's the ocean though. It'd be nice to row out occasionally

Oh, I've been there, lovely place!

Quite right you are too, about being part of the events. Time travel's rather funny that way. In any case, welcome to Florida!

[undine-denotte.livejournal.com]

Oh! So nice to find someone else who has been there! I really do think it's a place everyone should visit at least once, then again, I feel people should go to as many different places as possible and see as many sights.

It is. A confounding but fascinating thing, time is.

Oh, but thank you. Out of curiosity, in this city are there any particular sights you feel are an absolute must see?

[abitmoresonic.livejournal.com]

I agree on all accounts, but I'm a bit of a traveler anyway!

Certainly! Like a big ball of wibbly-wobbly timey-wimey stuff.

I can't particularly say so, although the ocean is lovely. Have you seen Venice, though? I do believe it's the city yours was built in image of.

[undine-denotte.livejournal.com]

Really? If you do not mind my asking, where all have you been? What places were your favorites...a difficult question I'm sure if you've been around..

Yup, it in fact was! I have not, yet, though I hope to do so sometime soon. I have only recently arrived and am adjusting to this world so it will most likely be some time before I can. It was one of my primary reasons for coming here.

[abitmoresonic.livejournal.com]

That...would certainly take a lot of answering. Quite a few places, let's put it that way! Not that I'm terribly secretive about it, but it'd take a few days to rattle off all my stories and even then I'd forget half a dozen of them.

Fantastic! I'm afraid the location's a bit off -- Florida's an ocean away from Italy. But there's plenty of travel options to get there!

[undine-denotte.livejournal.com]

My, my! I feel almost envious now! I haven't had too much opportunity to travel until recently, despite always having wished to.

Hmm. That is unfortunate but if what you say is true can be easily remedied. I'll get settled here for a while and then see what I can do. What would you suggest is the best form of transportation in this day?

[abitmoresonic.livejournal.com]

Oh, well anyone can travel! Wanting to is really the important part after all.

Brilliant plan! Well, there are planes of course, and boats if you don't want to fly. Or of course there are other ways -- quite a number of ships 'round here. Airships, spaceships, et cetera.

[undine-denotte.livejournal.com]

Hmm. If it weren't so far I wouldn't mind rowing out myself; unfortunately good weather can't not be promised for the entirety of such a distance. What you've suggested all seem very good, though! I haven't been on a spaceship since I traveled from the future of this planet to Neo-Venezia...and never an airship though I have seen some! I really would love to, I'll look into that. Thank you!

[abitmoresonic.livejournal.com]

I wouldn't recommend it anyway; the Atlantic is a rather tempermental body of water. It;d be rather dangerous. Well, there are plenty of interesting ships around at least; a few at the high school and whatnot. Or, you know, there's one here at the University too. I can show you around it sometime if you like!

[undine-denotte.livejournal.com]

I'm so accustomed to the predictability of Venezia's oceans...it will take some getting use to, but thank you, and more so for your offer! I'll gladly accept it, particularly since I must know if there any other areas I should avoid lest I be slaughtered by the nearly naked man with the pyramid head.

[abitmoresonic.livejournal.com]

Just doing my job, miss Florence! I'd hate to see such a pleasant girl fall into trouble, anyway. ...Oh, I'm sure he's really harmless. But stay away from him just in case. Mostly the rest of this place is quite safe! Rather lacking in sanity, but safe nonetheless.

"Jack's the one with that problem, not me."

I doubt it.

Hey, I'm not the one with a fetish for blondes!

BARTY PREFERS GINGERS.

THIS NOT!BARTY IS UNACCEPTABLE. DDDDDDD:

[hydrangeathorns.livejournal.com]

Welcome to Flamingo Heights, Alicia! My name is Shido, and I teach European History at the university, so I'm sure we'll be seeing a lot of each other. I'd be interested to hear more about your homeland sometime as well.

[undine-denotte.livejournal.com]

Well it's a pleasure to meet you professore! I'm certain we will and I await the start of classes very eagerly! I still have some moving left to do, and to acquaint myself with the city more but I'd imagine I'll be seeing you there within the week! I'm always happy to talk about Neo-Venezia and having been an Undine there I know a lot about it.

[hydrangeathorns.livejournal.com]

A what?

Feel free to stop by my office anytime.

[undine-denotte.livejournal.com]

A Gondolier of sorts, I feel is the best way to describe it

I think I shall! Is there any particular time that is preferable for you?

[hydrangeathorns.livejournal.com]

Ah.

I'm usually around later in the afternoon.

[undine-denotte.livejournal.com]

Then I shall see you tomorrow!

[escuro-aranha.livejournal.com]

How do you do, Alicia. My name is Jirougorou, I am also a student at the university.

[undine-denotte.livejournal.com]

I am quite well! Thank you! And you?

It is good to finally meet a fellow student from the University, I honestly do not know what to expect. If you do not mind my asking, what is your opinion of it?

[escuro-aranha.livejournal.com]

It is...not as weird as the high school was.

[undine-denotte.livejournal.com]

Hm? What was strange about the high school?

[escuro-aranha.livejournal.com]

...

I do not even know where to begin. I'm sure you will see for yourself soon enough.

[undine-denotte.livejournal.com]

Fascinating! I suppose I shall! I'm quite curious now!

[aguidingvoice.livejournal.com]

Welcome. Your home must be so beautiful, it sounds very interesting. There is an ocean however. I bet you could give some good tours there.

[undine-denotte.livejournal.com]

Oh, I find myself having to reel myself in for fear of speaking someone's ear off! I could go on forever about it but I shall refrain and simply say yes, it is wonderous.

I did think about that a bit! I'd have to go out and check how difficult the sailing would be but I'd love to be able to do that, and just take people how for relaxing rides. Nothing feels better than a good song and the becoming one with the wind

[aguidingvoice.livejournal.com]

That's perfectly fine, I'm a very good listener. You sound like you have lots of wonderful things to say. I bet you have a great voice.

That's a wonderful description, you seem like a person who very much loves being in touch with the world. I think you should look into it. Oh and how rude of myself, I'm Ssasame.

[undine-denotte.livejournal.com]

Why thank you very much, it makes me happy to hear. Very happy to find someone who seems so supportive of my vocation, I don't think I could truly ever give it up but knew I'd face trials both in practicality and interest were I to try it here.

I do love reaching to it as much as I can, however I can. Whether it be simply through reading, or even more so to meeting and speaking with new people and seeing new sights. There's always so much more out that to experience and exilerate oneself...I want to touch as much of it as I can.

Oh! It is quite alright, I got carried a way a little myself. Hello Sasame! It truly is quite wonderful to meet you.

[aguidingvoice.livejournal.com]

You could say I myself have a fondness of speaking, sound, and movement through the world.

Thank you, ALicia, you as well. I work over at the elementry school, but feel free to come by and see me anytime, especially if you ever need an ear or just want to talk!

[cerise-magician.livejournal.com]

Well... It's certainly a pleasure to meet you, madamoiselle...

You look so beautiful, ma'am... ♥ ♥ ♥

[undine-denotte.livejournal.com]

My, my. Why thank you~

It is good to meet you as well. Do you also attend the University?

[cerise-magician.livejournal.com]

No, ma'am, I'm afraid not. Though, I may choose to take a few more classes there at some point on some... more specific and obscure subjects.

[undine-denotte.livejournal.com]

Hmm. Well they do have quite a large selection, I had to say I was most impressed. But in the end I decided on European History for nostalgia's sake.

[cerise-magician.livejournal.com]

Well, European History is quite interesting, dear...

I'd like to meet you, I think, madam~

[undine-denotte.livejournal.com]

Well I am always happy to make new friends! Where shall we meet?

[cerise-magician.livejournal.com]

Perchance... meeting in the park would be best? If you do not mind, that is~
