🍁 A quiet forest
[Waking up in an unfamiliar place is one of the last things Tara expects to happen after everything, that just happened back home. Where's her sling? This white sweater isn't hers and those white jeans aren't hers either... Is this a dream? Or a joke? Or judging by everything from her recent-ish past, maybe this is even more of a game against some fucking assholes? That would be so great. (yes, that's sarcasm) Either way there's no one else around??]

Sam?!

[She's supposed to be right there, she'd never leave Tara alone right now.]

. . . Cute Boy?!

[Sure, she knows the guy's real name but she imagines if anyone is around they might react by ask something like who is cute boy after hearing that.]

Mindy?! Chad??!!

[He better not be here, not that Mindy should be here either, considering especially Chad's condition after all of that but it'd feel absolutely wrong to not call for them too.

Anyway, anyone might find her wandering around there or even leaning against a tree because god damn that arm and her other injuries hurt even if she tries to not show that too much. What the hell is this place?]

🍁 New arrivals' room
[Another world? Magic? No way of going home, that anyone knows of?? Physical contact with people? There's so much info, maybe she'll go check that hologram later too. But it's all random who arrives here? Or at least they don't choose it? Why her? Why only her? Who knows, the others might be here too, so Tara is absolutely looking around like she's looking for someone or some people.]

Hey, have you seen a dark haired woman looking for Tara? She's taller than me, her name is Sam. Or anyone else looking for us?

[She sure as fuck hopes, that she's not the only one of the Core Four here. Never mind the messy makeup under her eyes nor some red (yes, that's blood) on her face and elsewhere on her skin. She'll need some medical help, so if you happen to be a healer, maybe you'll spot her on the way there. There's clearly something wrong with her arm, but that's really not the only injury on her right now, the others just happen to be hidden under her clothes. Things, that happen when people fire with guns and stab with hunting knives, it's not like she hasn't been in a much worse condition before too. At least she can walk this time.

Tara's from 2023, smartphones aren't a new thing to her but she's giving a suspicious look to them.]

How easy is it for anyone to hack or clone them?

[ ... Not that she'd do it herself. She even sounds and looks like she's had enough of bullshit like that happening with them. But at least that pink tulip phone charm is really cute.]

🍁 Welcome Center
[Some time after checking her new apartment, finding her clothes there, and cleaning her face / herself, Tara heads to the Welcome Center. She's still wearing the white outfit since her own clothes aren't exactly -- well, they'd work for walking around on Halloween without worrying people with the amount of holes and blood on them.

Okay, she's here. Now what?]

Hello?

[Wow, it sure is raining here a lot or more like she sure happened to arrive during a very rainy season. Not the best weather to be getting to know the city but it's not like she really even minds the rain all that much. Most of the time it even surprises her by how it suddenly starts raining even though it's so sunny and nice before or even during that.

And she doesn't even know about any of its effects at first, but she might either reach out to gently and softly touch someone or maybe even to trying to take anyone's hand or even suddenly trying to hug anyone out of nowhere whenever she's been in that rain for a while.]

Sorry, I have no idea why I--

[But if whoever she's touching or hugging doesn't pull away, then she's not stopping either. And a hug really is the most that anyone will get from her unless you happen to be her boyfriend because she is loyal to him. Sure, anyone can try to kiss her under their own rain effects, but she will dodge any attempts of doing so.

And if someone touches or hugs her out of nowhere, she might jump a little because wow, this girl has been through a lot more and less recently.]

[Hahah, well Tara's already thinking about getting two German Shepherds as her new friends and also as her guard dogs, but she'll give herself some time to settle in before getting them. But this world sure doesn't waste any time with giving her another world's version of those things. So she'll be in Blossomcrown's Central Park and anywhere else with her Growlithe. Sure, she could be training the puppy against other Pokémon like she has seen them doing in that series, they'll get to that and will accept challenges if anyone is up for that, but for now she's training him like a normal puppy.]

Sit!

[Tara smiles at him as soon as he does that and she gives a treat to him.]

Yes, good boy. Now... Stay!

[ ... that... might require some work since the excited puppy keeps running after Tara but at least so far the young woman's laughing at him being adorable for doing that.]

No, I said stay. Okay, let's try that again. Sit. [and he gets another treat as soon as he'll do that.] Stay!

[This time she keeps repeating that anytime when the Growlithe tries to run to her again. Or meet them there or anywhere else later, she might even be in the middle of whatever else like hugging, kissing and cuddling the adorable puppy or playing with him by throwing a ball or another toy to him instead of being in the middle of training him.]

[I'm up for anything else too, hmu at baranohanabira, freyeria at discord or PM this account if you have any questions, or to plot or to chat! (Yes, this is Nea again, hello!) Assuming with most prompts that she's been completely healed since new arrivals room or so. And of course the rain thing can happen in any other prompts too! Bonus points if you happen to fit into a description like "he's big and he plays football and he'll kick the shit out of you" because she misses a certain someone and some others a lot but also anyone please hug her, she really could use all the hugs, that she can get LOL new muse, be gentle ;;; ]
