"Like Moth To A Flame We Came to Your Place~"

"...For a reason...hehe..."

Meet Thola

“It was such a pretty fire though! All orange and sparkly~! Like a baby Sun!~”

Hiii~ I’m Thola Shreya! Your friendly neighborhood moth girl, professional flame enthusiast, and part-time lighting store employee! I just really really love fire, okay? The way it dances, the way it glows, the way it makes everything feel alive~! Last night I was trying to make the apartment super romantic with some of Frey’s special gel as fuel... and well... it got a tiny bit too alive! Now everything’s ash and we’re homeless! But it’s okay! This is kinda like a new adventure! And our neighbor has such a nice place... and they’re really cute when they look worry for us... Sooooooo maybe this is fate? I promise I’ll be careful this time! Mostly. Nyahahaha— I mean, yes! Super careful!

Meet Frey

“Thola, darling, we are currently homeless because of your ‘pretty fire’.”

Good morning, good afternoon or good evening. I am Frey Geliyan, currently a third-year arcane literature student from abroad who came to do advanced studies, and apparently the only functioning adult between the two of us. I moved in with Thola two years ago thinking it would be a quiet, manageable arrangement while I do my studies and part-time job. I was wrong. She is a walking fire hazard...literally...with the personality of a golden retriever on espresso...it's, quite endearing at times, but that's not the point. Last night she decided to “set the mood” by planning out a "surprise girls night-in" to take a break from my studies and "hang out" for awhile. When she was lighting the candles using my slime-gel residue as fuel which she slathered all over the candles sloppily. The apartment soon bursted into flames and everything immediately became a charcoal briquette. We have nowhere to go, the dorms are full, and I am standing outside our neighbor’s door at nearly midnight with a singed suitcase and a moth who is already planning where to put her lighter collection. I am...mortified. I am exhausted. But our neighbor has always been kind to us... so here I am, swallowing what’s left of my dignity and drying my mournful tears over my burnt manga, hoping they’ll let two disaster girls crash on their couch. Temporarily. Please?

Will You Take Them In?

Thola: "R-really?! Ohhhh thank you, thank you, thank you! I promise you we'll be good girls!"

Frey: "Hehe...Thank you truly, we'll only stay for a couple days until we find a new place and pay you back...Hopefully..."

Will You Make Sure Your Home Is Intact?

Frey: "Thola! No! Bad girl! You can't be lighting fires in here anymore! This isn't our house! Do it outside!"

Thola: "Eh?! Oh come on bestie!~ it's just a baby Sun!~"

Will You Keep Them?

Frey: "Heyyyyyyy~...hehehe, this is going to sound awkward but...can we please stay a few more weeks until we find a house...? We won't cause you more trouble and we'll pay you back...somehow...we swear."

Thola: "Yuh huh, yuh huh, yuh huh. No trouble! Honest, we'll help you cook, clean, file your taxes a-and...no more fires...yehhhh~ "
