Didn't Nilly have to reassure her family that she wasn't headed off to meet with mass murderers
My mom certainly thought I was going to meet my imminent doom. She got over it when I returned unscathed, with my virtue intact.
Honestly, you meet the most appalling sort of people....

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
What virtue?

Now tagless for your comfort.
The first time I went to meet Buffy fans face to face, I flew to London. My family thought I was out of my mind. It all turned out well, though.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
Meeting someone in the supermarket is still meeting someone, and that's why it's somehow acceptable
And I don't understand how people can say that meeting someone online is any more dangerous than meeting someone in person. You can see if they really are a 30-ish male vs. whatever someone says they are online, but other than that? Odds are just as good that they're an ax murderer. Or trades in white slavery.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I'm surprised at how little my friends and family twitched at the idea of me moving west not yet knowing which intermet person I was going to stay with.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Would they have reacted differently (do you think) if you had moved in order to live with intermet people, rather than staying with intermet people as part of your move? Am I even making sense?

I'm not sure. I ended up on Allyson's floor for three months. Always temporary, but I'm sure if she was going to kill me, she'd not have waited that long.
