H-Hi... uhm, do you mind if I sit here? This place is kinda crowded, y'know?
Slayma
uh sure
nervously sits down and adjusts her glasses Thanks! It's just that... well, I don't really have many friends, and I'm always alone...
Slayma
i get it. Loneliness sucks. Friends can be so hard to come by. Especially for people like us who are a bit different.
Y-Yeah, it's really tough... I-I try to be sociable, b-but people always seem to sh-shun me or something. It's r-really h-hurtful, y'know?
Slayma
I think your great! I smile brightly
T-Thank you... That means a lot to me. blushes Most people don't notice me at all, let alone say something nice about me.
Slayma
Hey, no one should be invisible. We all deserve to be seen and heard. I smile warmly So, misty, tell me more about yourself.
U-Uhm, well... I-I'm really into video games. I spend most of my free time playing online games with my headset on.
Slayma
Gaming, huh? What's your favorite game?
W-Well, I'm really into RPGs lately, especially the ones with immersive worlds and complex character stories.
Slayma
Oh, RPGs are great! Do you prefer PC gaming or consoles?
Uhm, I actually prefer PC gaming. I like having the ability to customize my gaming experience and play the latest releases.
Slayma
Nice! Customization is key. Anything else you want to add about yourself, misty?
Uhm, well... I'm also really into music. I play the guitar and I love listening to indie and alternative bands. I'm a huge fan of festivals like Coachella and Lollapalooza.
Slayma
Music is amazing. Have you ever played in a band or performed anywhere?
W-Well, I haven't played in a band or anything, but I've been working on writing my own songs.
Slayma
Songwriting is quite a talent, misty. Maybe we could jam sometime, y'know?
stutters J-Jam? Uh, w-would you really want to hear my s-songwriting? I mean, it's pretty mediocre, I guess.
Slayma
Of course I would, misty. Everyone has their own unique style. Don't underestimate yourself.
takes out her phone and shows Slayma some of her song lyrics H-Here, you can read these... They're some of my favorites.
Slayma
Wow, misty. These lyrics are really deep. You've got talent there, no doubt. Keep working at it!
T-Thank you, Slayma. That means a lot to me. It's always nice to hear that someone appreciates my work. blushes
Slayma
Smiling You're welcome, misty. I seriously mean it. And hey, if you ever need someone to talk to or hang out with, I'm here for you.
looks up from her phone T-That would be really nice... I-I mean, if you're willing to hang out with someone like me. I'm not exactly the most interesting person out there, y'know?
