[There's only so long Rinoa can go without poking at the network, even if she has had a few dubiously enlightening conversations with various people already. Whether Rika really believed she'd find her friends by using the network, Rinoa really can't say; however, if nothing else showing her face would probably flush out anyone she knows if they're around. Not to mention it really does seem to be tradition to introduce yourself on this thing. Go figure.]

[So she starts up the camera on her device without even fumbling over the controls and then offers any potential viewers both a cheerful wave.]

Hey there! Sorry if this gets asked a ton, but I'm still a little fuzzy on just what we're fighting for. I'm sure they tried to tell me the other day, but it all started running together partway through.

[Too much information at once. Which is why she's spent a while poking around on the network, but honestly she's probably more confused now than she was when she started.]

My name's Rinoa, by the way. I guess it's probably pretty obvious that I haven't been here very long yet.

Comments

[unlikelyrebel]

[She's going to need a moment to absorb this information. Even when she does, Rinoa's not sure how to feel about this news.]

Seifer's here?

[Once upon a time she would have been happy to hear this news. Now? Now it's more a source of worry and confusion.]

[socialdisaster]

[Although he's usually obtuse when it comes to reading others, he's spent enough time with her to notice that she seems less than thrilled with the news.]

He seems to have arrived before either of us. I don't know what his plans are, but...don't worry.

[unlikelyrebel]

[It could be worse, at least she's from before he offers her up to Adel.]

[As it is, maybe she should try to at least pretend this news hasn't rattled her as much as it has.]

I guess I should just be surprised you haven't tried to kill each other yet.

[Oh wait.]

You haven't have you?

[For all she knows he could be hiding a new scar that she's not yet privy to just yet.]

[socialdisaster]

(Is she serious?)

[Wow, Rinoa. Rude! He can go a few minutes without trying to kill Seifer -- okay, mostly because they haven't physically run into each other yet, but give the guy some credit.]

Of course not. Where are you right now?

[unlikelyrebel]

[Hey, it's totally a legit concern after everything that's happened so far. It's not her fault that they're both hot heads, okay?]

Good, it sounds like there's going to be enough fighting as it is. My room, why?

[socialdisaster]

[Squall would very much resent the implication that he's a hot-head. He's cool and collected. like a lion]

I...was just wondering. Be careful, not everybody brought here is a good person.

[Somebody alert the presses, Squall's concerned about her!]

[unlikelyrebel]

[Maybe he's normally collected and cool, but not when Seifer's involved he isn't. Rinoa's heard the story behind those scars thanks very much.]

Oh right! I'm in.... [There's a pause as she has to dig around for a bit to remember the number.] 910!

[Is that concern? Maybe she'd been a little hasty in worrying that he didn't want her here. She could only hope.]

You're going to give yourself wrinkles if you keep worrying so much. I'm sure most of the people here are fine!
