I Hope This Is Ok - Blog Posts

Raku has been thinking for several months about starting to live alone. He would soon start going to college and needed to find an apartment that was near his study center and also a library if possible.

Last night he was browsing an advertisement announcing various apartments in a building near the college. The rent varied according to the size of the apartment and there were cheap and expensive apartments. The most expensive ones were located on the last floors of the building, while the cheaper ones were on the first floors.

His family was modestly economically and could not afford a large apartment, so he showed his interest in the cheaper apartments, but he wanted to see them before contacting the landlord.

He got up early in the morning, ate breakfast, left the house, and walked to the bus stop.

When he arrived at those apartments he saw a building with a beautifully decorated garden. After looking at the garden, he walked to the door. He looked at the apartment numbers. He needed to call a neighbor so he could tell him something about the apartments, so he pushed a button on a random apartment number.

After a few seconds he could hear someone's breath through the entry phone.

"Good morning, I'm sorry if I bothered you. I would like to talk about these departments. I want to move one of them, but I would like to see them sooner. "He said in a kind voice.

     "relax," nolan chuckled, "no one thinks you're an asshole." her dreamy gaze and pale face had worried him. it was the reason he had approached her in the first place. "i guess you just answered my question, though," he thought out loud, referring to having asked if she was going to be okay since he'd caught a look in her eye that made him think she might fall over (must've been when the waffle whispered). "listen, just have a seat, i'll be right back," he said as he gently guided her into one of the booths. a few moments later, nolan returned with the chocolate-chipped treat. "here." he slid it in front of, only to then stand up straight and look around the cafe in case anyone around hinted at knowing her. there was no one. he peered back her, clearing his throat. "are you okay to drive?"

open starter location/time: sunrise cafe; late evening

she didn't mean to zone out, she really didn't, but after working four ten hour shifts straight, her brain was no longer functioning. the only thing her brain could focus on was the absolutely stunning chocolate chip waffle in front of her.

"I'm.. not trying to be an asshole, i promise, but i am going to need you to repeat what you just said. i swear this waffle just started whispering to me.. i know that's not the case, but the sleep deprivation is getting to me hardcore."
