It was a very beautiful day in downtown Void City, as we focus on the Apartment Complex in all of it's well known glory. A home for the many and a place for the needy.
As we open up on the building, we change view to show the inside of the Complex, and see a man of around his early thirties, sitting at the front desk reading a magazine.
Man today had been boring...
At that moment however, the front door opened! The man looked to the door to see who it was and found a... Rather strange young woman walk in... Well, rather float in... A woman with... Butterfly wings? He took a second to clear his throat and get used to the sight before him, Dimensional Island may have been filled with all KINDS of weird things, but that had to have been a first for him.
He put away the magazine as he took in the girl. "Hey there. You looking for a room?"
[An NPC before you ask.]

Rulett floats over to the front desk, pausing about a foot away. She smiles kindly and seems to be trying to remember something. She gives a small giggle, remembering what she was to say.
"Hello there. I'm a friend of Alex's. He told me to come here?"

.... Now there was a name the man at the front desk knew. "Alex eh? You mean that really somber kid wearing that big-ass hood?" That likely stuck out in Rulett's mind since God-Tiers often wore big hoods. "Yeah, I know him..." He grins a bit. "You just missed em' in fact. Told me a bit about ya, and to expect ya. So your that little Rulett girl he's always told me about."
He chuckles. "If I might say so ma'am you are cute little thing." He shrugged after a second. "But enough of that, Alex asked me to take you to his apartment if I saw ya, so, follow me. I'll show ya to his place." He motioned to the nearby staircase. "His apartment's up on the 3rd floor."

"Thank you, sir. For both the compliment and the help."
She smiles kindly once more and follows him, floating along gracefully. She wonders what Alex had said about her, but she wasn't about to just ask the man. That, to her, seemed either desperate or insecure. She pushed that thought away, floating along silently behind this guy. Eventually her curiosity got the better of her, though.
"I'm sorry, but what exactly did he say about me?"

There was a light chuckle as he climbed the stairs, Rulett floating behind him. "Heheheh. The way he talks about ya, you'd think you were his whole world." The two reached the second floor as he said this, and continued climbing. "When he learned you was here, ya know, on the island, he actually, for the first time I've ever known em' got excited. Damn, I'd never seen the kid so happy."
That likely perked the troll's curiosity a tad, a look the man noticed. "Don't ask me what's up. Frankly, I dunno. He just came to this complex one day as somber and sad as a puppy in the rain. When I asked if he had any friends, he told me straight up he didn't even know if they were still around... Then he mentioned you, and how he missed ya. Missed ya a whole bunch." He shook his head. "Really, ma'am; you arrivin' on this island has been the highlight of the week for that poor kid."

Rulett blushes a bright green, hearing the man's words. Alex was excited to hear she was here on this island with him? A small, happy smile forms on her face as her blush grows a bit more.
Then she hears the second part. She felt a little bad that his friends weren't there, but she was happy that her arrival meant so much to him.
"Thank you so very much for telling me that, sir."

The man smiled at the troll girl as they arrived at the 3rd floor and proceeded down the hall. "Not a problem. I figured someone needed to tell ya about that." Looking along the doors a second, he finally came across the door he was looking for; '#366'. "And here's his apartment right here miss." Taking out a card-key, he scanned the card into a slot on the door. With a little beep, the light on the machine went green, and a clicking sound was heard.
At this, the man opened the door, and ushered Rulett inside. "Here ya go miss. Alex's apartment." As he said this, Rulett floated on inside. "Just make yourself comfortable, he should be back soon, knowing him."
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Inside the room, Rulett was surprised to find the room sparsely decorated with a few posters hanging on the walls. Many of them were of Final Fantasy games, Nintendo console games, and various others. Along with the posters, a pair of swords hung on the wall by means of a pair of stands, both of them looking well shined and well looked after.
Taking in more of the room, she found that the room had several entryways, leading to more rooms. The front room she found herself in appeared to be a living area complete with a couch in the middle of the room and a TV facing it. A laptop also sat on the couch, plugged in to a nearby outlet. Rulett could only imagine that Alex had used it before.
On the dresser against the wall across from the TV, two staves sat. One looked like a purple baseball bat with a pair of yellow eyes scrawled on the end, and a handle that looked like wings. The second one in the meanwhile, looked like an age old magic staff, curled near the end and not really a good staff to use in battle. The two weapons sat atop a poster of a game apparently called 'Kid Icarus Uprising'. Interesting to say the least.
One of the rooms past the living area appeared to be a bedroom area with a big queen sized bed; a bag sat on the bed that appeared to be filled Captchalogue cards.
Past another doorway, she found a modest looking bathroom; a place that likely confused her since troll bathrooms were likely very different from human ones. And past the last doorway, she found a little space that would have been used for a kitchen, complete with a microwave, oven, a sink for dishwashing and various other ammenities.
What will Rulett do from here?

Rulett was surprised by everything here. She went about touching and examining everything.
She examines the posters, and then reaches out to the swords, curious. They fall and she puts them back, blushing in embarrassment. The video games looked interesting, but she didn't really know how something like that works.
She moves to the tv, trying to touch one of the buttons on the side. She jumps back in surprise as it flickers to life, her repelling ability pushing the on button. She sighs in relief, then looks at the laptop, confused. She had never seen a laptop before, and she wanted to see what the inside of it looked like.
She recognized the familiar form of the dresser, but not the staves. She would try to pick them up, but her powers prevented her from doing so, and she didn't want to just knock them over like she did with the swords before. She didn't really recognize the poster, since she never really played games.
She floats over to the bed, curious, looking at the backpack. Once again, her abilities stopped her from actually touching the backpack, even though her curiosity was eating away at her.
She was curious, but she knew better than to enter someone's bathroom without permission. That would be like invading their personal space. She would not do that to Alex.
Rulett wandered into the kitchen and saw the chicken. she couldn't focus on anything else, since she hadn't eaten in what seemed like a few days.
She sighs, knowing that there is no way she can eat in this state. She sighs and floats over to the bed, "laying down" on it.

Rulett spent maybe an hour or more on the bed, probably either trying to get some sleep or just staring at the cieling. No-one would be able to fault her for it though. She was so close to finding Alex, and this apartment was where it would finally happen...
The only complaint she had though was what was taking her friend so long...
Suddenly, at that moment, there came that familiar chime from her Pesterchum account.

gantzGun [GG] began pestering semiluckyRotation [SR]

She ponders that for a moment. Normally, her abilities peter out at a minute to midnight. Then the roulette bracelet spins at midnight to give her a new ability. She doesn't really know how to explain this to him, though.

..............
At that moment, a hand took Rulett by the shoulder... And she was suddenly aware of a powerful burst of energy that, much to her surprise, caused her to fall onto the bed, she was sitting over. When she landed, she felt the hand had remained on her shoulder, like it was the constant of the universe...
A key was pressed on a keyboard... One that was IN THE ROOM.
GG: Look behind you. <:-)

She looked over her shoulder, wide-eyed in surprise.
"...Alex?"
She bursts into tears, and hugs him tightly, so excited to finally meet him that she kisses him and goes back to hugging him without realizing it.
"It's so good to squeak meet you squeak in person!"

Everything that happened was exactly what Alex had thought Rulett would do. Hugging him tightly, Rulett was literally sobbing into his robes... Frankly, Alex was crying along with her, the realization that he was finally meeting the object of his affections was sinking in.
"Rulett... I-"
This was interrupted by Rulett kissing him...
.............. Alex's face went tomato red at this motion, and his expression went somewhat dreamy.
