[The feed clicks on and that red-headed woman makes another appearance. This time she isn't yelling or anything, only has a small smile on her face that's more wistful than happy.]

This place sort of reminds me of my old country. It was surrounded by water and the smell of salt water was really strong, right on the water's edge.

[Kushina's location is finally brought to light. She seems to be on the beach, sitting nearby the waves without getting hit. The sound of them hitting the shore is background noise.]

Back when I was little, I always wondered what was beyond the water. Kheheh, seems like that same feeling is coming back. Instead of waiting and wondering though like before, I'm going to go find out.

Who's with me! They can't keep us here forever and there's got to be more answers beyond the water!

[The video flicks on to reveal a young-ish looking lady, perhaps in her late teens or very early twenties. Despite being an obvious new arrival, she seems fairly at ease with the situation.]

So... I don't have to fill out stacks of paperwork, right? I'd probably have something by now if this place was like that.

[A slight pause... is this really the time to reminisce about that other place? No, not really.]

A-anyway! I'm Kazumi Hagino, it's nice to meet you. [she bows a little as she gives her introduction]

I was wondering if anybody could point me toward the portal back home? I'd like to help out, really, but there's some things back home that I really need to take care of right now...

((Kazumi's roomies can find her lounging around in the living room, playing around with her netbook))

[ Martin, looking dapper thanks to his new cassock, addresses the camera with a wistful, reflexive tone. ] No matter how far away from our homes we may think we are, it finds its way to us. [ A chuckle. ] I've been reading about a realm that's known as Ancient Rome, eerily similar to my own. Even their language, Latin, is exactly the same as my people's ancient language, Cyrodiilic.

[ He pauses, expression shifting into an easy smile as an ink-stained finger thumbs aside a page from a leather-bound book. ] Please, tell me about your realms. Perhaps we're not all so different.

[ And the video ends. ]
