So, um, first off I just wanted to say hi to all the new people! And say that I'm sorry you're kind of stuck here, too. It's tough, but there are lots of nice people here, so if you're having trouble with anything I bet you'd be able to get help. Except going home, that's still a mystery for everyone.

[And then a smile breaks out on her face, and she moves her tablet so the feed shows a wing of one of the gyms with a barre running along a wall, and mirrors attached to that wall. As quickly as she turned the camera away from her face, it's focused back on her.]

I know last time that I mentioned I was looking for a place to dance, and some other people mentioned they'd be interested in the same thing, so I asked the Initiative people if it would be okay if we could have a wing in one of the gyms to turn into a place for the dancers here to practice. And, um, they said yes, so here we are! There's not going to be formal lessons or anything, unless somebody else wants to set something like that up. I just wanted to let everyone know that they can stop in whenever they want to!

Oh, and - if there's anybody interested in going outside the city sometime, I'm looking to take a trip or two. Before anyone gets all worried, I know to be really careful, and I've done it once before.

[With another smile, she leans forward to end the feed.

ooc: this is all mod approved!]

Watch out for the deer.

[ Just... because. Yeah that's all the advice he has. ]

[A pause.]

Because they're mutants and chase people up trees, right?

[ That... sounds awfully familiar. ]

Y-yeah. Basically that.

So you must be Collette's friend, then! Er - Caesar, right?

She told you about that?

Oh, um, she - not in detail!

There isn't a whole lot of detail to it to begin with. [ Ughhh. Collette, why? ] But yes, I'm Caesar.

Well, she said good things about you, too! So don't worry.

It's nice to meet you! I'm Ahiru.

She did? What things?

[ Well in that case, he doesn't mind, provided the good things really are good! ]

Ahiru, huh? [ He'll try to remember that, honest. ] So what's a dancer doing wanting to go outside the city, anyway? There's nothing but ruins and freaks out there.

Like, you were logical and smart! Those are both good things.

I know that's what's out there, but it's not what's out there that really matters. It's like - the freedom, you know?

Oh, well... [ He can't complain about those. ] Yeah, I am those.

[ Honestly, they shouldn't feed his ego. ]

Hmm. I guess freedom is freedom, even with the ruins and the freaks. [ There's a small pause as he considers something, then he adds: ] Maybe you can tag along the next time Collette and I head out. Maybe two people will convince her not to require a horse ride.
