1st keystroke [video]

[The video cuts in on a redheaded girl with one shock of green hair grinning at the camera]

So is it just me or does that [air quotes] "orientation" thing need a little spicing up? Seriously. I didn't know whether I was going to the grand inquisitor's office or if I was back in the... uh... [She cringes, realizing what she almost just said. Grinning suddenly she waves it off] in bed having some weird-ass dream or something.

I do feel kinda gypped, though. [She mocks the woman's voice] "your housing companions will assist you in becoming ready." Yeah well I don't have any "housing companions" so I guess I'm on my own. [beat] Again.

[Yeah this is so familiar. Left alone in an unfamiliar place. Groovy. Yeah. She's done it before and she can do it again. She shrugs, shooting the camera a lopsided grin]

So I guess what I'm really saying is: Is there any place a girl can get a burger around here? I'm starving.

[She grins]

Glad I could clear that up for you. I'm a wealth of moderately useful information.

[She purses her lips, regarding the girl] Alright but which do you like better. See a couple've my friends back home call me "Claud" so I get the whole nickname thing. I was a little weirded out by it at first but it's really grown on me. But if you aren't digging the whole abbreviation thing then I'm totally down with calling you Meliantha - which is a pretty kickass name, I gotta say.

I'm from one of those worlds where they still use swords and magic, so there's many things I don't recognize. I appreciate knowing.

[She thinks, briefly.] I do prefer Meliantha, honestly. 'Mel' is good in a fight, just to let me know, but otherwise... And thank you.

[acts_of_claudia]

Well we have a fair amount of that as well. Well... more on the magic and less on the swords but same idea, right? Hey, any time you got a question you hit me up, okay? You can pay me back with swag from missions or whatever.

[She grins, laughing at the thought]

And don't mention it, Meliantha. I'm all for nicknames but only if people are cool with it or it pushes just the right buttons for it to be hilarious.
