[Honestly, Felicity might've gone on that rant even if Yukari wasn't around. She just needed to vent and she wasn't in the mood to return to The Foundry for the night. Besides, she had programmed her phone to receive any alerts that might need her attention if she was ever needed by Team Arrow.

As much as she wanted to bury her face into the couch for the rest of the night, maybe talking to her new roommate was just what she needed. Regardless of where she was in the day, she was constantly in the company of men. Not that she didn't enjoy spending time with Oliver and the others, and a few select co-workers —very select few— at Tech Village, but she could only take being around so much testosterone for so long. Some girl time sounded perfect.

With some effort, she rights herself on the couch, getting into a sitting position.]

No, no. I'm okay with talking. I just needed to get all that off my chest though. I had a really, really rough day.

[It had only been a short while since Yukari moved in as her roommate, but with Felicity's busy schedule, they hadn't had any time to talk and get to know one another. Felicity had put up the ad to help cut down on costs at first, but she didn't see the harm in actually befriending the other girl.]

So, Yukari... [She doesn't have much trouble saying the name though her pronunciation might be a little off.] That's Japanese, right? Never thought I'd wind up with a Japanese roommate, really. I mean, it kind of feels like something out of the Japanese anime I used to watch as a kid.

Sounds like it...

[She gives the other woman a sympathetic smile as Felicity straightens up on the couch. Her job could get just as hectic, so it's nice that they have at least one opportunity to try and see how they might get along. Her own job might not be quite as much of a boys' club, but she doesn't get much one-on-one girl time anymore either, since moving away from all of her closest friends.

She's a little surprised at the topic of her name coming up, but not for long. It's a pretty unusual name for the States, after all. Still, Felicity does a better job pronouncing it than she does with hers... "Felicity" is full of sounds that bring out the slight accent in her English. It's kind of embarrassing, with how hard she works to sound as close to native as possible.]

Oh, really? You watched those here too?

[Common ground already! Feeling a little more relaxed, she chuckles and adds:]

Felicity sounds like something out of a Western movie, too. [A slight pause, and she blushes.] Er... American, I mean... I guess 'western' usually means something different with movies here.

[She may have been corrected on this at work once or twice already.]

Anyway, what kinds of anime did you like? Romance? Hero shows?

[Felicity doesn't judge Yukari for messing up her name. She understood that it must be hard for someone who isn't used to speaking the language so who was she to make fun of her roommate.]

It's been a while since I've watched it though. I used to sneak in an episode or two back in between assignments back in college. [A beat.] Okay, more than one or two but can you blame me? Everyone just has to go through that phase of constant procrastination, right?

[She laughs upon hearing that her name sounded like something from a movie though. And the comment about western movies.]

Can't say I've ever heard that one about my name before.

[A very slight blush colors her cheeks, suddenly embarrassed about what she was going to say.]

Okay, this probably sounds really weird but I really got into mecha anime at some point. Oh, and sometimes I'd watch slice of life anime, too.

[Yukari just quietly chuckles to herself, good-naturedly of course, at Felicity's comment about a 'phase of constant procrastination'. She's been far too busy herself to have anything like that in college, but she wouldn't put it past Junpei. That and his baseball obsession... maybe he's really an American in disguise?]

It's really pretty, though!

[Said with another small laugh. She just doesn't want Felicity to think she thinks her name's weird, or anything!]

Huh... n-no, that's not weird at all! [She does look surprised that Felicity is interested in that sort of thing, but-!] You kind of remind me of someone, actually... my best friend back home. She's really good with technology and all that stuff.

[If only she were allowed to mention that one of her other closest friends is a robot... she has a feeling Felicity would be really interested in that!]
