duel one. ( video. )

[There is not much that outright startles Utena nowadays — she's fairly accustomed to the unusual and bizarre (and more importantly, used to rationalizing it), but the weeks since her arrival in this place have been a trial by fire, so to speak.

But she's adjusted, the best she can, and so when her comm device video flickers on, she looks to be in good spirits, all things considered. That is, if her viewers can actually see her. The video appears to be moving erratically. Often, Utena dips out of sight, only to be seen again. It's at an odd angle too, as if the device has been set on the ground, and is tilted slightly to the side.

It probably has a lot to do with the fact that she's doing lunges. In her assigned room. It's not a lot of space, but apparently she's making due. She stops long enough to address her (assumed) audience.]


Hi, everyone. [The device is lifted, and for a moment there's nothing but flashes of bright pink hair before her face appears — friendly, but a little tired.] I've met some of you already, but I haven't said hello on this thing yet. There's a lot of people listening to this, right? Um, I guess not everyone's "people," though, so maybe that's not the right word. Is it rude to say "people" then? If there's a better word, I want to know it. [She frowns, befuddled. Interspecies communication is a new thing for her, obviously.] My name's Tenjou Utena — er, Utena Tenjou. That's the order most of you would say it in. I'm from Japan; is anyone else from there? Or...er...Earth? I've been here for weeks now, and I'm still sorta getting used to this place. Those monsters from before...I've never seen anything like that.

[She looks troubled and shifts into a contemplative silence, but something else comes to mind that makes her brighten up.] I'm pretty glad it's over. Say, is there anything to do around here besides training? Does anyone play a sport?

[A sigh. She stretches an arm behind her head.] I could really go for a basketball game...or baseball.

You're from Japan too? [ A somewhat rare event, if the surprise in her voice is anything to go by. She tries to force on some positivity before continuing. ] I had a baseball bat back home, but I don't know how hard it is to find sports stuff here. I haven't really heard anyone else talking about it.

[ she makes a contemplative sound. ]

I think it depends! I know some aliens who wouldn't mind, but others...

[She appears in the doorway of THE APARTMENT WHERE THEY LIVE TOGETHER YEAHHHHHH a little while after Utena is done broadcasting. ]

I'm pretty sure "people" are the vast majority, though maybe not everyone. Trolls at least are people, anyway.

I was from Japan, if that means anything.

[ She's speaking in past tense, but only because she didn't come here from Japan, honestly. ]

And I don't play baseball, though I did know a few people who do. Though I honestly wouldn't mind playing a game.

What is basketball? [ Asks the being tall enough to dunk by raising his arm.

Hey there, Utena~ nice to meet you. I'm Tori.

Baseball, eh? I play on occasion. I'm a girl of many interests!

Ah! [ she actually visibly starts at that ] I don't think I've met any others here, but I knew a lot more of them at home.

[ she leans in when utena does, and gasps a little at that revelation ] What! Really?

Hahah, I dunno about anyone else, I never had a problem with being a person. In fact I prefer it that way.

Hey there! My name's Sonic.

[ ... Okay yeah that excitement's just a tiny bit contagious. Her mood lightens a little. ]

I'm Sayaka. [ Informal japanese people: the club. ] I've never been in a serious team, but I can play pretty well.

[ She pauses for a moment, thinking. ] There's a bunch of stores here. I bet at least one place has that kinda stuff.

We call each other Transports, it's for anyone who was taken here.

You're from Japan, huh? Haven't been there in a couple of years. Didn't stay very long, either.

It seems like that's true for a lot of people...which is weird for me tot hink about.

[ her eyes get all big ] Aaah, that's right! I didn't even think about that! Real elves...

[She leans against the doorframe now, and her lips quirk up.]

If you were a member of a non-dominant species here and some people thought you weren't a person, would you consider that rude? Just a thought.

[Though then she reevaluates her tone and recognizes it as too bitter. Time for a little salve.] I know you, you didn't mean it that way.
