arrival!

[Ruca still tries to decide what to do in this new, unexpected situation. It doesn't help that none of his friends is around and it's the first time in a long while when he feels really alone.

Still, he knows he can't just mop around because that won't help anyone, so he does the next best thing - approaches the message board and tries to make himself useful. A startled noise escapes him when someone suddenly speaks up to him, making Ruca look around, before pointing at himself.]

Um... d-did you mean me?

[His voice is a little shaky, but he tries to maintain eye contact with the other. The guy seems pretty friendly, after all.]

I-I can help! I... I don't have much experience with baking pies... but I will do my best!
