[The camera turns on, focused on a small, seventeen year old girl. She looks rather odd, with strange jewelry (earrings that look like radishes and a necklace that looks like it’s made of corks) and protuberant eyes that make her look almost perpetually surprised. She gives the camera a vague, dreamy smile.]

Hello, there. I’ve been trying to acquaint myself with the place, but I suppose I should also acquaint myself with the people. I’m Luna, Luna Lovegood. I don’t think it’s so bad here. It’s better than the place I was not too long ago, though I don’t like to think about that. It makes me sad. I think it would be worse if you had friends back home, though. I’m not quite sure if I have friends.

[She stares off dreamily into space for a few minutes before looking back at the camera.]

I was curious as to what kind of creatures roam this place. I should very much like to see them. And if you know any places to explore, I would like that very much as well.

Company would be appreciated, but isn’t necessary. I’ll be fine.

[She hums a tune of her own creation for a few minutes before finally shutting off the device.]

text FINALLY TAGGING YOU BY GOD

[bumbles]

I heard there are some strange things in the Outlands, but it's meant to be dangerous to go alone. It might be better to take a friend.

text FUCK YES

[a_bit_odd]

Oh. I'm not sure I have any friends.

video! or action i guess since they live together

[revolutionized]

Are you sure you'll be okay by yourself? People say the animals are mutated here.

[She's seen a few weird looking cats, but that's the extent of it. For someone so adventurous, she is reluctant to venture outside of the city limits.]

let's go with action! :)

[a_bit_odd]

[She glances over at her with a pleasant smile. I'm just going to assume she learns Donny's name.]

Donny just offered to go with me. Don't worry. I'll be careful.

[highhealplz]

Really? Not any? [ a beat. ] Friends, I mean.

[a_bit_odd]

I'm not sure. I don't really know anyone except Cedric. And he's very popular. I don't know if he likes me.

[She blinks back at him curiously.]

Do you have friends?

[concealingeyes]

[She doesn't have friends...?]

I don't mind exploring with you. I've been meaning to stretch my legs anyway.

[a_bit_odd]

Really? I would like that. What's your name?

[theboywhodied]

[There's Cedric looking pensive.]

Have you ever seen a rabbit with two heads? Because I have.

[a_bit_odd]

[Cedric! The closest thing to a friend she has here. She smiles excitedly at him.]

You have?! Here?

[accidentalrebellion]

[This is the first time she's looked at the tablet in several days, and a few things are immediately obvious about this. But maybe the most important one is that, from appearance's sake, this girl has about as much business being out in any kind of wilderness by herself as Prim does. That's enough motivation to address it. Or something.]

Nowhere you should go. [It's not really meant to be mean; her voice doesn't carry the harshness for that. She's simply stating a fact.]

voice;

[a_bit_odd]

[Luna turns indignant at that, her own voice gaining an unusual sharpness to it.]

And why is that?

video

[gunsling]

Well I'm told most of what roams around here is on the large and ferocious side of thing! Though just between you and me I think they might be exaggerating.

[ Then again, his opinion on these matters should be taken with a heap of salt. ]

video

[a_bit_odd]

[A bigger smile appears on her face, and she leans toward the camera a little more.]

What else do they say?

[video]

[boundbyheart]

[Her eyebrows quirk at the mention of not having friends. Another loner? But she won't be concerned, considering the girl is a bit too cheerful for her liking.]

Why don't you look among the people first? They're weird enough.

[video]

[a_bit_odd]

[She blinks at her for a few seconds...


...before bursting into shrill, high-pitched laughter. She just keeps laughing and laughing, tears appearing at her eyes.] Look... at the people first... Yes, that's a good one.

[She eventually settles down, wiping at her eyes.]

action???

[ofbravery]

[ Merida tunes in to hear the last bit of that, before hopping up to find her roommate. ]

You want to go exploring? [ She is certainly volunteering if so. ]

Action!

[a_bit_odd]

[She looks up and smiles at Merida]

Yes. I saw your entry. Perhaps we could go together.

[obliterating]

Everyone should have a friend.

I'm Thassarian. It's nice to meet you, Luna.

text;

[a_bit_odd]

Hello. It's a pleasure to meet you as well.

I do count people as my friends, though I'm not sure if they would do the same. Most people think me odd.

[fintastic]

Hi Luna! I'm Feferi! If you want to see some cool creatures, you should to to the beach, or the lake, or anywhere in the outlands. There's some pretty strange things out there!

[ Says the gray girl with horns and fins. ]

I'll come with you, if you want.

video

[a_bit_odd]

Hello!

[She blinks curiously at the other girl.]

That sounds very interesting. I would love to go with you.

voice;

[freewoman]

You've been out o' the city yet, girl?

voice;

[a_bit_odd]

No, I haven't.

[video]

[galactically]

A pleasure to meet you, Luna. I'm Sheryl Nome.

[There's a welcoming smile tugging on the pink-haired singer's lips right now, though it turns muted afterwards because--]

Not sure if you have friends? Oh, my...

[video]

[a_bit_odd]

Pleasure to meet you.

Well... I would say we were friends, but I don't know if they would do the same. Not many people like me, you know. They think me odd.

[curatesecrets]

Hello, Luna. I just got here, myself, so I can't be of too much help, but it's nice of you to introduce yourself.

[mostly because she looks a little ... not quite with it, and on top of that, young. there are a LOT of young people here, Artie's noticing. ugh. if the Initiative brought him here to babysit, he is not going to be pleased. Claudia's more than enough work]

That's ... an interesting necklace you have there.

[a_bit_odd]

Oh, thank you. [She holds it up to the camera.] Butterbeer corks. I could make you one if you'd like, though I don't think they have butterbeer here.

voice;

[bikininspector]

[Oh God that just sounds like a disaster waiting to happen to him]

Listen - this place isn't safe. It's a warzone housing very powerful creatures that don't wanna be here. Going exploring is dangerous.

voice;

[a_bit_odd]

I've faced dangerous things before. And I'm armed. I'm sure I'll be fine.

[It probably is a disaster waiting to happen tbh]
