[PRE-POST WHATNOT]
[It's raining outside today, but for once Nonon doesn't seem to mind; she's still in the utter sinkhole that is Violet City, but for the time being, her morale is good. Her money ran out quite some time ago, and she'd been okay with sleeping outside (it was going to take more than that to get her down properly) until that freak snowstorm last week felt the need to hit; seeing as she'd never worked a day in her life (not a proper job, not something that wasn't school and training) the idea of doing that was something almost completely foreign to her, but eventually she'd caved and applied somewhere and gotten hired.
And in the time since, she's discovered the surprisingly unsarcastic utter joy in the equation that is "make muffins = get money."
Sure, she's probably never going to get the flour out of her hair again and half the time she somehow ends up with glaze on her face, but she's found a bakery and they were hiring and she's stronger than she looks, and there's something really satisfying about being able to do things with her hands and see the results, and generally she's doing really well. Singing a bit while she does it, even, and making use of her Ambipom's entirely too many hands to hold trays for her while she works.
Life is actually surprisingly good today.]

This place is actually pretty mundane, for somewhere that has a bunch of magical fire-spitting animals at their disposal. It took a lot of considering it, but I don't think I can really complain about that, though. It's sort of nice to know that even in a place that has something like that, people aren't using them to burn each other's faces off.
(Usually, anyway, I've heard there are a few whackjobs that do that.)
How many of you are from somewhere like this? Where there's not much going on, I mean, and you can just kind of exist.
And if you're from somewhere that's not like this and there's stuff going on all the time, what's it like for you to be living here now? Is it boring for you, or is it sort of a relief?

Hell, once in a while I'm tempted to just punch some random guy in the teeth to see if I can start a fight for a change of pace.

Honest question, not trying to pick on you.

Hopefully you don't have a problem with fighting girls, though. I mean, if that's the case I'll gladly take the free invitation to kick your ass, but it won't be too exciting for you.

[Even so, the almost inevitable conclusion to this is 'Lancer laughs himself stupid the minute he sees Nonon, who will very well be within her rights and abilities to punch him in the junk.']

What city are you in, then?

[There is no way this could possibly go wrong.]

So I'll let you know when I swing by, yeah?

It took about that long to work out that this place really is what it seems to be. In my experience, if something is this idyllic, there's something wrong with it.
