first sign of distress...

[paranoias.insanejournal.com]

[It's a normal day. Well, as normal as it gets here. Maybe you're walking along on the beach or exploring the guest houses and other parts of the island. But as you're going about your daily business, you might notice something small and pink lying around--perhaps half-buried in the sand as if having washed up there on the island or lying under a bed or in a drawer somewhere in the guest house or what have you. On closer inspection, it appears to be a plush doll(?) of a pink dog.

What will you do with it? Will you leave it be or...?]

[Well, Maromi always love to meet people and have fun with them. Even though Maromi's not too sure of how it would be able to get to this resort, if it knew what it looked like, it would be tempted to try to create a little piece of it here for you to contend with if that made you happy...

But otherwise it makes no comment on it other than the slightest of head movements as if it's tilting it's head curiously at you while listening...]

[Rio flops onto her back on the bed with a sigh and holds Maromi up over her head.]

I wonder how everyone's doing back home... I hope they're not worried or anything.

[She smiles a little.]

There was supposed to be a sky resort trip soon... They've probably already taken off.

[paranoias.insanejournal.com]

[Maromi's head flops to look down at her from where she's holding it up. If Maromi was a talker, it would probably have encouraging words to say such as:]

I'm sure everything will be fine, Rio! They'll surely wait for you to come back rather than leaving without you!

[...But Maromi is a stuffed animal so there's no way it possibly said that just now, right?]

[havealuckyday.insanejournal.com]

[Of course not. But Rio will laugh and just keep talking to Maromi.]

Oh well... Sky Resort always makes me a little nervous anyway! Missing one trip will be fine! I'm sure Linda and Tiffany will be able to handle it on their own!

And maybe Owner will even get Rina to come back to take my place, and then when I got home, she'll still be there! And then we can catch up a while. It's been so long since I've seen her.

[paranoias.insanejournal.com]

[Maromi seems to nod its head, clearly listening while she talks. It may not know who Owner or Rina is or anyone else, but they sound like they might be very interesting people!]

[havealuckyday.insanejournal.com]

I should enjoy this vacation while I can, right?

At home, I usually end up having to work even when I'm on vacation. So this is a nice break.

[paranoias.insanejournal.com]

[Maromi agrees with you 100% Rio]

Yeah, it's always nice to relax sometimes and just take a break and rest...

[havealuckyday.insanejournal.com]

I'm popular at work, so Owner barely gives me a chance to breathe some days.

But I love my job.

[paranoias.insanejournal.com]

That's good! Working can be hard and tiring...but I'm sure Rio is the best at her job!

[Even though you haven't told it what your job is]

[havealuckyday.insanejournal.com]

[She is actually legally recognized as the best at her job. She has a big shiny badge to prove it, which is currently sitting on the bedside table next to a deck of cards.]

I just do my best for the customers. If they're happy then I'm happy!

I fought for myself once, and that was nice, but I'd really rather just make others happy!

[paranoias.insanejournal.com]

Making others happy can be the best! [However, Maromi also adds] But please don't forget about your own happiness too, Rio! I would be so sad if Rio wasn't happy too!

[havealuckyday.insanejournal.com]

I was sad for a little while, but it's all better now. It was all just a big misunderstanding... Kind of. Rina's happy now, so it's okay.

[She laughs and pokes Maromi's nose.]

It's not hard for me to be happy. And part of my job is to spread that happiness around!

[paranoias.insanejournal.com]

[A tiny laugh and small movement of the arms when it's nose is poked]

Wow Rio, you're so cool and nice! I'm so happy that I got to meet someone like you!

[havealuckyday.insanejournal.com]

Rio giggles.]

I'm happy to have met you too. I'm sorry Chip is so grumpy. I'm sure he's just homesick.

[Chip is curled up by her hip just glaring at Maromi. Cause this sit ain't natural, and this s coming from a creature that watches it's owner use what is apparently mind control on a daily basis.]

[paranoias.insanejournal.com]

[Getting glared at would be kinda scary, but this is Maromi who still manages to sound cheerful despite the unhappy ferret before it. We're mostly harmless Chip, you'll come to see that soon enough...]

That's okay, I understand! I hope Chip feels a lot better soon!

[havealuckyday.insanejournal.com]

[Yeah, Rina seemed pretty harmless too and that ended up with a few hundreds people pointing guns at Rio. So Chip's a bit cautious.]

He probably just misses Rosa and Tiffany and the others. Rosa used to give him bits of chicken that she that she'd get while she was Misery!
