red means I love you
Heyyyy
Super hyped to be rooming w you
My parents’ beach house is always so weirdly empty and lonely so this will be a nice change of pace
mochi lover
Hi!
And honestly thank you so much for renting a room
It was so hard to find sth within my budget and honestly this place is a godsend
red means I love you
No biggie at all
Plus low-key I'd love to have a buddy to do all sorts of cute things with
Like having sleepovers, making root beer floats, painting each other's nails etc
mochi lover
Huh those sure are a lot of middle school girl activities
red means I love you
Ha ha yeah I guess so
mochi lover
Not that it's a bad thing
All those activities are really fun and make me feel very nostalgic
red means I love you
Glad to hear it
I never got to do any of those things growing up
mochi lover
Darn
Why not?
Sorry that sounds intrusive
Don't feel pressured to answer
red means I love you
No it's perfectly okay
My parents were just… sth else
Though it wasn't entirely their fault I couldn't go outside much
I have a skin condition that basically makes me allergic to the sun
mochi lover
Like a vampire???
Ugh sorry that also sounded really rude
red means I love you
Nah honestly I like the analogy
It's much more fun to pretend I'm a vampire than feel like I'm broken yk
mochi lover
Hey a medical condition doesn't make you broken
red means I love you
Idk
I've caused my parents a lot of grief by not being normal
Souch embarrassment
mochi lover
But it's genetic, right?
It's not your fault
red means I love you
Doesn't change the fact that I'm weird
That I can't go outside
Like spending every summer at a beach house but never being able to run in the water out in the sun - that makes me a freak, right?
mochi lover
I don't think so
You seem super sweet to me
And you're probably cute too
Even though we haven't met in person yet I'm sure of it
red means I love you
You think I'm cute?
mochi lover
THE CUTEST
red means I love you
Aww thank you
That means a lot
Really
And I bet you're super cute too
mochi lover
Don't count on it
red means I love you
I guess we'll have to meet in person then so I can prove you wrong, cutie
mochi lover
I guess we will
Also Himiko maybe you could do all those typical beach activities at night
red means I love you
Idk
I mean yeah I guess I technically could
But it would be awkward going to the beach at night when no one else is there
mochi lover
We'll I can promise you that you won't be alone at the beach at night
red means I love you
That's a pretty big promise
How do you plan on sticking to it?
mochi lover
By going to the beach at night with you
red means I love you
What but you don't have to?
mochi lover
I want to
It's not an obligation so you don't need to feel like you're being a burden
You just seem like someone who is nice to hang out with
red means I love you
I'd beg to differ
I have some pretty major red flags as a beach house roommate
mochi lover
Try me
red means I love you
Well I have a knife collection
mochi lover
Everyone has their hobbies
red means I love you
You know I could use knives to stab you, right?
mochi lover
I guess I'll have to hope you'd like me well enough not to stab me
red means I love you
Why are you so unphased by this?
mochi lover
Bc I've been living in cheap apartments in bad neighborhoods for ages
I can't remember the last time that ending up with a serial killer roommate wasn't a risk
red means I love you
Well, I think blood tastes yummy!
That's freaky
There is no way you'd be okay with that
mochi lover
Really committing to the vampire but?
red means I love you
YES
which is a major red flag
mochi lover
Aren't you supposed to convince ppl to rent out a room in your beach house? Not chase them away?
red means I love you
I just want you to know what you're getting into
mochi lover
Ha you're not going to chase me away that easily
Besides I think blood kinda tastes fun
Whenever I lost a tooth as a kid I definitely spent more time that the average person licking at the blood left behind and thinking it tasted fun
red means I love you
Oh my God
Are soulmates real?
How are you literally so perfect?
mochi lover
Hey perfect is an exaggeration
red means I love you
I'd beg to differ
I just never expected to find someone who matches my freak yk
mochi lover
Me neither
But I guess that life is simply always full of surprises
Besides I definitely have some drawbacks as a roommate
Like if you want to eat out or order take out I probably can't bc it's expensive
red means I love you
As if that's a red flag
Besides nothing beats a home cooked meal
mochi lover
And I talk too much
It's hard for me to tell when to be quiet bc I'm such a chatterbox
red means I love you
That's no biggie
Because you seem like someone who I could talk to forever
mochi lover
And if you buy any mochi I'd probably eat it all
red means I love you
It's only human to get the munchies
Especially when it comes to your favorite food
mochi lover
You're pretty forgiving when it comes to my red flags, huh?
red means I love you
What can I say?
None of them even come close to being a deal breaker
mochi lover
I guess we'll just to settle on being imperfect together
red means I love you
Sounds great to me
mochi lover
Want to brainstorm what activities you want to do at the beach?
red means I love you
HELL YEAH CUTIE
