[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! ]

Hey, I didn't know you two knew each other! So Totsuka-san's helping you look for friends, Kougyoku-san?

1/2

[redsea]

Yes, that's right. He said this would be an effective way to make friends. The magic in this place is truly amazing.

[redsea]

But I think I messed up.

[geniality]

Magic? I don't think magic has too much to do with it, but it is pretty cool. Everyone here is really easygoing. [In Seto's eyes, anyway. That's saying a lot.]

If you're looking for friends, count me in!

[redsea]

[ She's thinking, AREN'T YOU THE MOST EASYGOING ONE HERE ]

Really? Just like that?

[geniality]

[PROBABLY. He and Tatara can compete for the easygoing ikemen award.]

Sure! Y'know, I had a hard time making friends when I was a kid. But now that I'm older, I've made a bunch of them! Maybe I can introduce you sometime.

[redsea]

[ It's easy to believe he's older because he's way taller than her, so okay. She'll take his word for it! ]

You would do that? [ Her eyes are sparkling. ]

[geniality]

[16 and 178 cm, yeah! He's pretty used to towering over everyone.]

Yeah, no problem! I bet some of my friends would like to get to know other people too.

[redsea]

... Who are your friends? What are they like?

[geniality]

Well, have you heard of the Mekakushi Dan yet?

[redsea]

No. What is that?

[geniality]

It's a group started by some of my friends and I! We founded it back home, but Kido thought it would be fun to start it up here too.

Once we get back down on Earth, you should stop by sometime!

[redsea]

Oh, I know Kido. She said she was my friend. Perhaps I will!

But, ah... what is the Mekakushi Dan?

[geniality]

Really? Any friend of Kido's is a friend of mine! [And he already thinks of Kougyoku as a friend, so there's that too.]

We're a group that helps others! I guess that's the best way to put it.

[redsea]

[ YAY FRIENDS. A group dedicated to helping others, huh? Kido did seem to give off that sort of vibe. ]

You help others? How?

[geniality]

Pretty much anything, I guess! We have a lost and found box and everything. [Helpful....?]

[redsea]

[ Squints. ]

I suppose that is helpful...

[ She was expecting, like. HOMRA-scale shenanigans (which aren't that different sometimes tbh) but that's cool too. ]

[geniality]

Oh, and we even stopped a terrorist group one time! I missed it since I was working, but it sounds pretty exciting, y'know?

[Mentioning the lost and found box before the terrorist ordeal.... He has his priorities straight.]

[redsea]

Say that before anything else!

[skilful]

[ The video is not pointed at Totsuka!! But at least Seto knows what he looks likes. He sounds like he's smiling! ]

That's right! She's really cute, isn't she?

[geniality]

[It was easy enough to tell from his voice, not to mention that Kougyoku mentioned his name! It's common sense, shhh....]

Yeah! She should make tons of friends in no time.

[skilful]

I'm surprised she already hasn't! But you're already friends with her, aren't you?

[geniality]

Yeah! And if you are too, she's already doing pretty well, huh?

[skilful]

Better than she knows. [ He chuckles, amused. ] She hasn't realized it yet!

[geniality]

I bet you've already made a bunch of friends too!
