[It's eerily quiet as the transmission begins revealing an exhausted and depressed Nanami as she is writing onto a notebook of sorts. From the way she was writing and entirely focused over her current task, it was clear that she must be writing something pretty important. After a moment of silence, Nanami will raise her head only to realize the tablet pointing towards her direction, so she will freeze as a surprise expression will appear.]

Huh! When did you-- [It won't take very long for her expression to change from surprise to realization.] Oh, right. I did ask you to hold this for me. [A sigh as she begins to massage her temples.] I guess I forgot to add in the filter options.... [It would seem the video wasn't exactly accidental as she did ask Mamoru to turn on the tablet a moment ago to leave a message for someone, but had forgotten to set it up. Either way, Nanami will offer the camera a friendly smile; although, it was weak and unlike her usual ones.] Sorry about that, everyone, but it looks like I messed up. But either way, I wanted to check up on everyone. It's been a few days since that incident, hasn't it? [Her smile will weaken at the memories, but it will slowly return.] ....I hope everyone is doing all right on their end. I'm not very good in this type of situation, and maybe there aren't many words that could help in this kind of situation neither, but... [Her expression will turn thoughtful as she finally speaks in a more serious, but warm tone of voice.] I'll try....

[At least, she wanted to speak comforting words and offer her services in offering those that aren't exactly human a solution, but she is silenced by something. It would seem she will return to her writing. Her attention fully on the task until she was finished. It won't be long until she takes notice of the tablet again. Her gaze will look somewhat hurt.]

....m-maybe...now isn't exactly the best time to do this. [A pained expression will appear as she begins to massage her temples again.] A-Anyway! I just wanted to offer my services to anyone that might need it. If you need help trying to keep out of sight from the natives, then let me know. I might have a solution that could help. [A nervous expression will appear as she begins to scratch her cheek] That is....if I have any more of these items left on me. [Oh wait, maybe she should add:] But even if I do run out, I'll try my best to help you regardless!

[And without further ado, she will do her shout out now.]

Kanaya-chan and Painwheel-san. I'm not going to return home until a little later tonight. I....I have something to do....or try to do, that is. [Another weak smile will be offered, but she seemed more uncertain than anything else.] You could say, I'm doing some important training right now. Ah! But I won't be in the training hall though!

[And back to the audience at large.]

Oh! Before I forget, I want to know if there's anyone out there that has the ability to create shields. I just found out that's one of my new abilities. If there is anyone with that type of power, let me know. I like to ask you a few questions. [Okay, that should be all...] At any rate, that's all for today. If anyone needs me for anything, I'll be taking a stroll around the city. [And with a wave.] See you later!

[And that was the end of the transmission.]

[Nanami can be found roaming around the city with her journal at hand. It would seem she was currently following after a certain group of natives from the way she was sneaking from one corner to the next. Any hiding spot she could find, Nanami was definitely hiding in there. What could be the reason for it? Who knows. It was clear that she was determine to do....whatever it is she is doing. Anyone is free to bother her as she isn't very good at being sneaky at all!]

What kind of solution are you thinking of?

[Emil's passable for normal himself, but with what he's seen it wouldn't hurt to look into this in case it could help someone else.]

Thats Fine With Me

Do Be Careful Out There
And Dont Be Afraid To Leave For Your Own Protection If Need Be

[She pastes in a few lines of code; "filtered to network users KANAYA MARYAM and NANAMI MOMOZONO" is something like the manifestation. This shouldn't pose a challenge to even the early intermediate student of hacking, nor any accommodation for more than one recipient, but there's no indication to the layperson that anything past the prior message has been sent.

and then copiable code below:]

This Is A Filter I Use By The Way
If You Need One

[Bolin is finally, blissfully, almost completely recovered. Enough that he can get around with a cane, at least, which is good enough for him. He and Pabu are walking around, looking for a good spot for a probending arena, when he spots Nanami.]

Hey Nanami!

{Sorry, were you trying to sneak? He didn't notice.]

[A piece of white talisman paper will be shown onto the screen.]

By using this. It's one of my abilities from back home. They still work here! I just thought there might be those that need it more than I do. I do know we have dragons and the like here.

[Then she wonders.]

Do you need one?

Don't worry. I promise I will. Mamoru is with me right now, so I'll be okay as long as I have him by my side.

[Then once she got the coding for the private filtering which will cheer her up very quickly.]

Thank you very much for both your concern and code, Kanaya-chan. I'll be more careful next time. I just didn't expect Mamoru to turn on the device on his own. [More like, she was vague and got crazily distracted. Yup.]

[That "Hey, Nanami" will definitely surprise Nanami as she begins to panic because the natives might finally notice she was currently spying on them (but they know she has and have been ignoring her; in hopes, she would go away). That is why all too quickly she will grab Bolin and hide him over at a random corner because...]

WHY DID YOU CALL OUT TO ME LIKE THAT WHILE I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF A MISSION!?

[Yup. Even though she is smaller, her spirit might be somehow towering over Bolin. Somehow.]

Didn't you see my latest network entry!? I almost lost my cover! [More like, she didn't have any to begin with, but has no idea about it yet.]

[Guess what, Nanami? Wherever you're hiding, there's a familiar twintailed girl right behind you. You really should be paying attention to things around you.

Being a good sport, Rise keeps her head down and whispers. Of course, the impish grin kind of ruins the pretense of playing along...]

You know, they can see us...

A...seal?

[It looks vaguely like the things Sheena uses, anyway. Remembering her question, Emil shakes his head.]

No, I'll be fine. I'll remember this for any friends I know who might need it, though.

[He squawks and stumbles back as she drags him off. Man, for a little thing, she is STRONG.]

Wait, you're in the middle of a mission? Here?

[Nanami was entirely confident over her skills in hiding and sneaking around. Entirely confident. So confident, in fact, she was just about to get a little closer until she heard a certain whisper behind her. That was all it took for Nanami to freeze and not move.]

No they can't! I am entirely invisible! Please don't mind! I don't exist!

[Yup. She is whispering that answer back without turning around because she was currently terrified to move. Entirely terrified. What will they do to her now? Luckily for Rise, however, Mamoru was hanging onto Nanami's shoulder and has been witnessing the entire thing. It won't be long until Mamoru begins to poke for his master's attention before pointing towards Rise's direction. How do you say in monkey speak "not to worry, it's only Rise"?

Too bad that she was not paying any attention to Mamoru as Nanami will begin to shake her head side to side in a frantic speed.]

No, no, no! It isn't right to lie. [She will look away and huddle closer to whatever it was she was hiding behind.] I'm sorry for resorting to spying on you, but I had no other choice! I wanted to give this back to you. [She will be giving Rise an item of sorts which happens to be a star hair pin. Nanami will cover her face as she quickly adds:] I'm sorry about your loss...it was all I could find...

Oh no, it isn't a seal. [Well.] Not exactly, at least. It's a little different from a normal type of seal. These are actually known as talismans. They have the power to grant any wish or command the user writes on it. [Which gives her an idea.] Let me show you an example...

[Give her a second as she begins to write onto the talisman using her pen.]

Say, I write the word "Air" on it. If I place the item onto the person's clothes, then.... [She will place the talisman until herself which will cause her to vanish on screen before...] Ta-daaa! My existence turns into thin air, as long as I remain silent. [She quickly reappears while she spoke. It won't be long until she removes the talisman from her arm, so the other boy can see her.]

Great! Do keep me in mind. Just tell them that Nanami Momozono has a special ability that will definitely help them.

If it helps, it does make sense. Mamoru is usually very curious over every little thing. It's sometimes hard to keep track of him whenever I'm speaking to someone or doing something else. He really is like a little kid at times. [But, of course, she means that in a good and adorable way.]

Although, he's a good boy. He knows that the tablets aren't a toy to play with, and won't touch it unless I asked him to. [Then she begins to wonder.] Do you think I could teach Mamoru how to use the tablet? I think it might be a good idea. Just in case, we ever do have an emergency and all.

Of course I am! What other reason do I have to hide and follow after them?

[She will be pointing towards the direction of the group -- or at least, where the group was last seen, they're now gone -- with her thumb.]

[Huh? Oh crap, now Rise's worried...]

Hey...

[Her voice is softer and more concerned now.]

Are you alright, Momo-chan?

[She makes a point of using her new nickname for Nanami. Maybe she'll realize it's her before she has to say anything else...]

[At the nickname, Nanami will freeze for a second time as she turns away to quickly rub away all the tears before returning her attention to her friend by offering a nervous smile.]

Ahhh, Rise-chan!? I-I didn't know it was you....I just thought you were....

[She points at the direction of the small group of natives with a weak smile now.]

Part of their group. I'm sorry about that. I promise I'm all right. I just...

[However, it won't be long until Nanami decides to point towards the item in Rise's hands, in hopes, of changing the subject a bit. Kinda.]

U-Umm...that item....I noticed one of them dropped it, so I was going to return it to them. I sorta overheard it might have belonged to a relative of theirs. [Her eyes will begin to show a little bit of sadness.] I'm still trying to decide on the best way to return it to them.

[Rise looks at the hair pin as Nanami explains, and slowly traces a finger around it. She admires her friend's determination to return it, even if her methods are bit silly. And the way Nanami's been talking... belonging to a relative... something about their loss...]

Did someone...?

[She's afraid to finish the question. With everything that's happened lately, it's way too possible.

Forcing an encouraging smile, she slips the hair pin back into Nanami's hand, clasping it between her own.]

You're really sweet, Momo-chan. I'm sure they'll appreciate you returning this.

[She steals a glance at the group... despite her words, she's really not sure how they'll take it. She hopes she's just letting the atmosphere of this place get to her. She has a lot more doubts here than she used to back home...]

... Want some help?

[However she decides to do this, it might be easier having a friend standing by her.]

[She'll nod her head once Rise does almost ask her about it. The smile on her lips will grow a tad bit at the compliment.]

I only hope they'll accept it. This item means a great deal to them. [After all, she heard the way they had prayed to her over wanting to find the item. No matter what, she was going to try and return it to them, but...]

...although, I do admit...it's a little scary to return this item to them when they're in a group as big as the one they're in. I've been hoping that some would leave, but it doesn't seem it will happen any time soon.

[But at Rise's offer, Nanami will nod her head and hold her hands together.]

Only if you want to. I won't force you. And I can't guarantee they'll react positively over us returning it to them, but I can promise that no matter what they won't hurt you! [So, in other words, this is her way of asking for help while trying to convince the other girl to help her at the same time. She was a little weary over the idea of going alone too.]

[Rise, of course, just assumes Nanami's been listening and overheard them. She takes another glance... they really are in a pretty sizable group. Rise'd probably be intimidated going over there alone, too...

She slips an arm around Nanami's waist, giving the other girl a friendly, supportive squeeze. Hope she's not too attached to that personal space, because Rise is a firm believer in invading it!]

We'll go together, then!

[She keeps her voice down, but she's very emphatic about encouraging her friend! Even if it takes a while for Nanami to muster her courage up, she doesn't mind following along.

... It's still a little intimidating, but it'd be safer for both of them this way, right? She wouldn't just let anyone harm her friend, after all. She assumes that's what Nanami was trying to say to her, too.]

Whenever you're ready...

[She keeps her voice calm this time. Not wanting to pressure the other girl, especially if she's really as nervous as she seems.]

[Color Emil impressed! Something like that would definitely be handy.]

All right, I will. That's some interesting magic you've got there.

Frau, what would your solution be?

[Because, he's really getting tired of things being thrown at him while he's trying to help with the rebuilding.]

[What is having personal space? Most people invade it, so she is not the least bit weary over Rise being overly friendly. Actually, the other girl's encouragement was all it took for Nanami's smile to turn into a more genuine one. As she takes a last look over at the group, her expression will turn into a more determine one as she has decided to give it a try. Who knows? It might help increase positive points in native and transport relationships now.]

Okay! Let's go!

[She'll get up from the ground and help Rise, so they could begin operation -- Return the Haipin for Doki Doki Points. If only she could have said that out loud. Even so, it was a good idea she didn't because it would seem the group of natives will get closer as they offer their most displeased expressions over the girls' direction. The atmosphere might turn slightly heavy due to their glares pointed directly at them. Nanami will take notice and look a little nervous and curious, but was not entirely scared off.]

Eh? Why does it feel like they were expecting us to appear?

[For someone talking positively over her abilities will get her to smile proudly because she is so used to other people kicking her done over how weak her skills are. Mostly coming from Tomoe's side, though. She will continue to smile happily.]

Thank you very much! It's the only few abilities I still possess from back home. I've been careful over them, though. I need to find more paper and supplies to make extra copies, but....I don't think it'll be so easy to find them now. [A sigh.] I want to help more than anything. I was entirely helpless while everyone was getting sick. My magic didn't help much... [If only she was a true deity because if she had Mikage's powers, then she would have been able to make a difference. The mere thought will begin to slightly depress her now.]

Talisman magic!

[She will show the other boy a piece of white talisman paper with an energetic smile.]

I can use this to change your appearance. Depending on which form you wish to have, I will help you transform into it as long as you were the talisman over your clothes. [But what's the catch?] Unfortunately, I only have two forms I can offer at the moment -- either transform you to look like one of the natives or turn invisible.

[Tilting her head, looking curious over at him.] Do you need one?
