[video] backdated to 3rd December!

[skilful]

[ The feed opens up to one girl recognisable to be Kougyoku Ren looking into the camera, clearly held up by somebody else. ]

So when it starts recording, I should speak to it?

[ From behind the camera, a voice chuckles, sounding amused. ] Kou-chan, it’s already started.

[ The girl gasps and blushes, covering her mouth in surprise. ] I’m sorry, I didn’t... Oh, how do I begin? Um, h-hello... everyone. I mean, greetings! I mean...

[ A whisper from behind the camera: ] Introductions, Kou-chan, introductions~

Yes, you’re right. It’s not like I haven’t introduced myself before. [ She turns her head a few degrees away from the camera. ] I am Kougyoku Ren. I am… eighteen years old. I am from the Kou Empire, and I, I like fashion, fighting and… um... Anyway, I. I am looking for friends.

[ Again, from behind the camera: ] So, if you’d like to be her friend, please reply to this video!

[ Kougyoku immediately smiles and faces the camera after that line. It’s as if her personality did a complete 180. ] Did I do good, Tatara?

[ And, once more, the voice behind the camera chuckles as the feed shuts down: ] Very well done!

[ note; Tags will be coming separately from Kougyoku and Totsuka separately! ]

[ Even if Totsuka didn't turn the feed off in time, well... At least she's happy. ]

Then we simply have to wait for people to reply, right? I'm so excited. I think I'll really get friends this time!

permaction!!

[skilful]

That's right! You'll get lots of friends!

[redsea]

[ She claps her hands. ] I want to watch it. I can do that, right? May I?

[skilful]

[ Turning his tablet on, he browses to it and shows it to her. ]

Here!

1/2

[redsea]

[ Watches! Wow, she hopes she looks good! ]

[redsea]

[ Wow, what did she just watch? ]

Tatara, you said I was good! [ Shaking a fist and stomping her feet at him. KOUGYOKU RAGE. ]

[skilful]

[ He's surprised! ]

You were good! It was perfect, perfect!

[redsea]

[ She's upset! ]

How? I look like an idiot!

[skilful]

Not at all! You were very cute!

[ He says this, smiling! Very confidently! Can you not believe this smiling face? ]

[redsea]

Really? [ She looks happy for a moment! ] ... But it wasn't very dignified.

[ It wasn't the way Judar, Ka Koubun or family would expect her to act in public. ]

[skilful]

[ remember her reluctance at explaining the "royal court", he leaves this as an open question: ]

Dignified?

[redsea]

Yes, dignified! I did not have any presence...

[ She certainly didn't look as elegant as Hakuei or as strong as Kouen. ]

Ka Koubun would say so.

[skilful]

[ thoughtfully... ] Is that what you want?

[redsea]

[ She's still in the process of figuring that out, but if she could give an honest answer, she would rather do whatever she wanted without consequence. And yet she doesn't want people to look down on her...

Kougyoku avoids Tatara's gaze. ]

I, I do not know.

[capitulated]

[ and from somewhere nearby just.

snerking. ]

[skilful]

Oh! Did you want to be inside too, Eric?

[capitulated]

No!

[redsea]

Hahaha! He should make a video, too, for laughing at me.

[capitulated]

No.

[redsea]

Why not? Do you already have friends? [ Don't lie to her. ]

[capitulated]

I don't need friends.

[redsea]

Everyone needs friends. [ She huffs! ] You're just shy and don't want your face on the network.

[capitulated]

I don't.

[ and he doesn't want his face on the network but most of all he doesn't need friends, okay!! ]

[redsea]

[ She groans, but then she gets and idea. A smile makes its way on her face as he takes out her own tablet hehehehe. ]

It's recording! [ no it's not ] Now say something.

[capitulated]

[ SHOVING HIS HOOD OVER HIS FACE.

why. ]
