[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! ]

[juneshero]

[a laugh] This looks good to me. Maybe I should give it a try.

[video;]

[redsea]

Oh, please forget you saw it, Yosuke... I'm so embarrassed.

[video;]

[juneshero]

What are you talking about? It's way better than anything I could do, and it makes you sound totally cute and approachable.

[redsea]

[ Her cheeks earn a tinge of red. ]

But I didn't even look at the camera. You aren't just saying that, are you?

[juneshero]

[oh shit- ... He's not making things up, because that was kind of adorable but ffffff THE THREAT OF HER DJINN EQUIP SCARES HIM MORE THAN CHIE'S KICKS sob]

You aren't used to this thing, right? Don't worry, I was the same way with the camera on my phone when I first got it. You just gotta remember to look at the black circle on the tablet when you're talking to it.

[redsea]

[ What's with that topic change!? Well, it's fine, as long as the aren't talking about her anymore. ]

Oh! I didn't notice that before. So that's what it's for... [ She thought the camera was the entire tablet. ]

You have devices like this back in your world, too?

[juneshero]

[hey! He's totally on topic; you were talking about looking at the camera]

Yeah! ... We couldn't travel through time or anything like that, but we had phones and tablets with similar functions to these ones. It's not that hard to use once you get used to it.

[redsea]

Mm, it must have been easier for you to adjust to this place then... Everything looks so foreign to me. Even my body clock is having a hard time adjusting.

[juneshero]

There's still a lot that I'm not used to yet... It's always hard, moving to a new place without much of an orientation. [he might also be thinking about his experience in Inaba but ssssh]

[a laugh] I don't think I'm ever going to get used to sleeping on the moon. Don't get me wrong, my sense of time isn't great without a phone but... [he slouches and makes a face] Man, it's so weird sleeping up here.

[redsea]

[ True, true! Then again, she didn't even try getting out there whenever she had the chance. All she did in Sindria was roll around alone with her attendant watching in the distance. ]

Because the sky never changes? I do miss the sun already. It's strange, isn't it? How we miss the little things we take for granted.

The sun isn't that little, though. [ She laughs. ]

[juneshero]

[nooo 'gyoku, go outside more... Is what people should tell her but Yosuke's not that great at socializing either. failbuddies away]

[but he laughs with her at the comment]

Yeah, yeah! I mean, who thinks about how big the sun and moon are anyway? Or about day and night even. It's really weird to think about and even weirder to live through.

[redsea]

[losers!! but this conversation is cheering Kougyoku up. even if Yosuke isn't a new face, she's enjoying his company.]

Right? It completely throws you off your routine. Most of the time, I just worry about what to wear or what to eat. Now I have to think of a thousand more things to do and consider... I've never had this much freedom before.

[juneshero]

That's good though. That you're finding something here you enjoy, I mean!

... But what do you mean you never had this much freedom before? Did you have a curfew or something?

[skilful]

[ The video is possibly aimed at the wall. Or Kougyoku talking to somebody else! Forgive the cameraman, he doesn't like to show his face! ]

You should definitely give it a try! [ Making friends with Kougyoku? Making friends on the network? Both? Both! ]

[juneshero]

[he's already friends with Kougyoku though ;v; But maybe he should make a network post and get some friendcodes.

Though it's kinda weird that this guy's not walking into the camera when he's talking]

Whaaat? Pfft. [he waves a hand in front of his face] I'm not nearly cute enough pull off something like this.

... Maybe later.

[skilful]

[ maybe he can finally find a friend safari with a ditto...! ]

Cute is in the eye of the beholder! [ he chuckles, smiling from behind the camera. ] Well~ If you need someone to film it, I'm free!

[juneshero]

[let's go, Greninja!]

[Yosuke grins, a little flustered looking because fffft that cute line lol] So should I just call you 'mysterious camera guy' then?

[skilful]

[ He chuckles again, amused at that nickname. ]

Tatara Totsuka. And you are?

[juneshero]

Yosuke Hanamura. Nice to meet you!

[skilful]

It's nice to meet you too, Hanamura! You're already Kou-chan's friend, right?

[juneshero]

Yeah! I met her when she first arrived.

[pause] Oh, I guess I'm interrupting, huh? Oops.

[skilful]

[ laughing! ]

Don't worry, don't worry! Your presence greatly boosted her confidence levels!

[juneshero]

[... he laughs sheepishly] N-Nah, no way! She was doing fine before I dropped by.

[skilful]

Every little bit helps but ... if you say so.

[ Chuckling again, amused. ]

Are you from Japan too, Hanamura?

[juneshero]

Yeah, I am! But that's kinda obvious, huh?

It seems there are a lot of people here from America though. The translation function on these tablets are total lifesavers...
