[Unlike some, Mikasa didn't punch in her number by accident, and wasn't caught in the middle of something unrelated, and didn't take the opportunity to broadcast her surprise immediately. She laid low, sought out the FAQ, and tried to at least get a little bit over it before she actually said anything.

Still, she hasn't replied to a thing until now, so she's another face that's new to the network, though maybe not entirely new to the high school crowd. Long dark hair in a messy bun with a couple of pencils shoved through it, flopped on her stomach on the bed with her laptop sitting in front of her, and wearing an expression that looks like she's trying and not quite succeeding at taking this nice and casual.

Because man, there is nothing casual about any of this shit.]

So, um. Do you ever get anything useful out of this? Anything that's, you know. Nice to know and not totally screwed up?

Or do I just get to look forward to more surprise shankings and crap like that for...however long this goes?

It's nice to meet you, Mikasa. I'm Travis.

[erenplz]

Nice to meet you too, Travis.

[Or as nice as it can be given the circumstances.]

[summit]

It kind of sucks at first, I know, but there are a lot of people here who seem like they'll help you out of a jam. So, I mean, being different isn't as bad as it could be, since we're different with so many other people.

[erenplz]

Yeah, I guess so...

[A short, forced laugh.] I'm not trying to sound like a whiner, I swear.

[summit]

It's okay. I mean, this is all pretty weird.

[erenplz]

Especially when you come in with a bang.

[summit]

Yeah. I can't imagine that was, fun...

[erenplz]

Probably not the worst anyone's had, though, I guess.
