[This video includes a slightly strange-looking woman. She has gray skin, gold eyes, and a line of small, black cross marks on her forehead— plus a super disapproving expression as she adjusts her tablet and sighs.]

So this is to be my new home? It's somewhat dirtier than I'd like. [And so many humans!]

I can't say I wholly approve of this communication method, either, though I will admit it is intriguing.

[A pause.] But I don't mean to complain endlessly, of course.

[She inclines her head slightly.] I am called Lulubell. It's a great pleasure to meet you... "Exsilium". [Maybe there's a tiny, tiny hint of sarcasm to that last sentence. Hard to tell with her mostly flat tone.]

[ fffffffffffffffffuck ]

reaction chain aw yeah

[aequivoci]

[ ohhhhhhh baby, the party is about to start! ]

laughs forever

[luxuresombre]

[But why are there so many of you

Chosen course of action: stare primly into the distance and wait. Though maybe the prim stare gets a little dangerous after a moment.]

[aequivoci]

[ because there ain't no party like a black order party
and a black order party don't stop!

unfortunately for lenalee (and the other exorcists), cross is going to respond via video as well. it's only fair to return the favor~ ]

[ a bored scroll of going through the posts has commenced for this general. almost every thought to every post is "new kid, new kid, new brat, new, new, new." and then as he prepares to scroll up once again, he stops to actually look at the person in the video, and the biggest shit-eating grin appears on his face.

oh, yes. good job, initiative. good job indeed. ]

I do hope you're ready to be wet endlessly.

[luxuresombre]

[She spends a good chunk of her time as a cat, she's not ready for this rain. And as for the other meaning of that sentence. Have a glare.]

...Excuse me, General?

[aequivoci]

[ c'mere kitty, you can stay warm in his coat~

the grin seems to get bigger, if that's even possible. ]

The rain here is unrelenting. Add the low temperature in, and, well, one's body will tremble for constant warmth.

[anklets]

[ you are a travesty you should feel bad ]

[aequivoci]

[ he only feels bad 1% of the time, but y'all know that already. ]

[luxuresombre]

I'm sure I will get my warmth somewhere. Don't be concerned on my behalf. [Voice drips with monotone venom, whoops.]

[aequivoci]

I am always concerned for a woman's well-being. Do notify me if your search turns up nothing. [ and he's still flirting away, welp ]

[luxuresombre]

[Eyebrows are so raised.]

Is that so? You may be disappointed. I can't say I enjoy the idea of entrusting you with my well-being in any way; I'm sure you understand.

[aequivoci]

[ careful, they might disappear into those lovely bangs! ]

I'm not disappointed at all. I am simply giving you an open invitation.

I am sure you will enjoy your time in Exsilium, unless you become useless enough for the Initiative to send you back.

[luxuresombre]

Useless? That's a very unattractive term. As for enjoying this place— doubtful, but time will tell.

[phaseshifts]

Ah!

[phaseshifts]

[He can't private because what is technology, so in person is the next best thing.]

My lady... where are you?

[luxuresombre]

Tyki...

The library in the Hold. Though I seem to recall libraries involving more actual books. [Not so used to this electronic records thing.]

[phaseshifts]

Stay right where you are, hm? I'll be there in a moment.

[phaseshifts]

[EAT YOUR HEART OUT GENERAL!!!!

YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!]

[phaseshifts]

[WHAT IS IT, LENALEE?]

[luxuresombre]

Do hurry. I could certainly use company. [And she'll wait.]

[phaseshifts]

[ok so it's more like five moments.

but appear he does, ducking into the library and glancing around with a neutral expression. he's not familiar with the place, because he doesn't exactly spend much time here, but he figures Lulubell should stand out well enough.]

[luxuresombre]

[Seeing him and making eye contact, waving him over.]

Hello. [Anticlimactic greeting, but it's the best she's got currently.]

[phaseshifts]

[Perhaps to his credit, he just comes right on over and sits with her without any undue faffing around. He watches her closely, expression settling into similar seriousness.]

Hello. [A pause.] It's not as bad as it sounds.

[luxuresombre]

[Shaking her head.] So far, it's been exactly as bad as it sounds. The place is covered in humans and Exorcists. Even that horrible General man. And all this rain.
