Elplin And Rumarin: New Start

Elplin and Rumarin: New Start

Elpin has decided to leave the nest and venture into the world to finally begin her life! 

After hours of driving, she has finally arrived in Brindleton Bay, known for its beautiful ocean views and the island Deadgrass Isle home to the pet cemetery and dozens of stray cats and dogs. Elplin was determined to help as many animals as she can due to her love for them.

She drives up the driveway and gets her first look at her new house. “Why are there so many plants?” she wonders, she doesn’t mind though, that just means fresh air and colour. Her house was big and spacious, way too big for just one lonely girl.

Before she moved she decided she should have a roommate to help with the costs of living and to have someone to socialise with. Her mother was concerned about her daughter's wellbeing and thought it was best to pick a good enough roommate for her. Elplin hasn’t met her roommate yet and is quite nervous to meet them.

She makes her way to the front door, on it was a note that reads:

Stepped out to gather groceries, back soon, excited to meet you -Rumarin.

Who was Rumarin? The name doesn’t give off a female vibe. HAS MOTHER ALLOWED A GUY TO LIVE WITH ELPLIN!?

She decides to walk on in and start unpacking her stuff, the house was beautifully decorated with paintings, ornaments and ocean-related items; it felt cozy and Elplin was glad she wasn’t the one to set it up. She drags her suitcase upstairs and sees another note on a bedroom door. 

This is my room, be grateful I chose the small one - Rumarin

“Thanks, I guess” she murmurs as she continues down the hallway to the room at the very end. She opens it up and was greeted to a beautiful room with a spacious bed. She starts to unpack pleased with how everything is turning out but one thing was on her mind. Rumarin, what if they are a boy? What if they don’t get along. WHAT IF SHE LIKES HIM!?

She shakes her head clear of those thoughts and continues unpacking, but that was cut short as she heard a loud crash outside. She immediately stops and rushes downstairs to the front door. Did Rumarin have an accident? 

She opens the door and sees a smashed pot on the ground and next to it was a really dirty cat. “Aw poor guy what happened to you?” she picks up the shaking animal and brings it inside. She checks for a collar, nothing. She frowns and heads for the bathroom wanting to clean the poor creature. As she was cleaning she realized that the cat was a gorgeous white. The cat looked visibly pleased and leans into her. Elplin gets a warm fuzzy feeling and pats it. “Too cute, I think I will keep you” She dries the cat off and lets it roam the house as she walks outside to clean up the mess.

She begins cleaning and hears the cat meowing at the door, confused she opens the door to see what it wants. It ran straight to her legs and didn’t leave her side. “ Safe to say you want to stay here too ha?” The cat purrs and hops on the bench outside watching her. Elplin smiles and finishes off cleaning up the pot. 

She walks over to the cat and begins pampering it. “ I wonder if Rumarin likes cats”
