[Rika's currently sitting outside, leaning up against a tree. The camera focuses on her, a huge smile present on her face.]

Thanks to Professor Elm, I now have some more supplies! Mii... I should be leaving soon, and it looks like Hope agrees with me.

[She giggles and turns the camera to her Vulpix--newly named Hope--who sniffs the camera curiously. She turns the camera back to herself.]

Looks like it's time to fight on!

Yes, he's one of the first people I met when I got here! We've decided to travel together. He mentioned that he was also traveling with Kirijo and Asuka. One of those names is yours, right?

That is quite true. It's easier to overcome problems that way.

-- yes, that's correct. I'm Mitsuru Kirijo. It's a pleasure to meet you.

Precisely.

I'm Rika Furude. It's nice to meet you too, Mitsuru.

Then it seems our team is complete.

It does, doesn't it?

I hear it's a 3-day walk from New Bark to the next town, which is Cherrygrove.

[complexrestart.livejournal.com]

Ah, that's a long walk!

[bufudyned.livejournal.com]

Indeed. It surprises me that there doesn't seem to be any vehicles in this world.

[ voice ]

[complexrestart.livejournal.com]

Really? I come from a very small town, so I'm used to there being no vehicles.

[ voice ]

[bufudyned.livejournal.com]

I come from a much larger city, so I suppose I am used to the opposite.

[complexrestart.livejournal.com]

I can see why it would come as a shock to you. Had this been a large city, I would've been shocked myself.

Where did you live before you came here, Furude? If I may ask.

A small village called Hinamizawa. It's close enough to a small town by bike, but it's rather deep in the mountains and surrounded by a lot of forest.

[bufudyned.livejournal.com]

It sounds rather pleasant.

[complexrestart.livejournal.com]

[There's a slight pause before she replies.] It is.

[ voice ]

[bufudyned.livejournal.com]

I'm glad to hear that.

What is your hometown like?
