[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! ]

[Clap clap clap!

No really that's it, he's just applauding that display.]

[redsea]

You're just making fun of me, aren't you!?

[ She just saw her own performance. It was terrible. ]

[onehundredswords]

[And he's just gonna be oh so condescending.]

Hmm? Was there somethin' to make fun of?

[redsea]

Well—you, you must see it. Don't you? [ She's just setting herself up for more of this and she doesn't even know. ]

[onehundredswords]

Well if you insist, then I guess it was terrible!

But what an awfully harsh way to criticize yourself.

[redsea]

I'm only telling it like it is! But you didn't have to agree.

[ She groans. ... She's so confusing. ]

[onehundredswords]

Well, if you want me to lie, I guess I could do that...

[redsea]

I... [ Wait, what? ] I have lost track of this conversation.

[ Not that it was one! Mostly, she wants to drop the topic. ]

1/2

[onehundredswords]

[Well then it's time to be helpful!]

No worries, no worries! You were sayin' how awful you were, so I agreed, then you told me not to, so I'm sayin' if you want I can lie for ya'.

[onehundredswords]

Amazing, kougyoku! So cool!

Ahh, who wouldn't wanna be friends with such a composed individual? I'm impressed!

[redsea]

I guess that makes me feel a little better. Thank you.

[ What a poor judge of character... ]

[onehundredswords]

[Just.

Wow.

He doesn't even say anything he's just...

...

...wow]

[skilful]

[ He chuckles, knowing, but ah--

The camera feed shows either a wall or Kougyoku or both! But Totsuka certainly sounds like he's smiling! ]

Ah, Gin! She did well, didn't she?

[onehundredswords]

She certainly accomplished somethin' with this, I won't lie!

[backhanded compliments forever]

[skilful]

[ Those words... ]

It's a first step. How have you been, Gin?

[onehundredswords]

Hm, me? Well, a little upset!

Turns out those welcome leaflets I handed out were fixed by someone else, an' said a whole load of nasty things. Ah, bein' used like that feels really cheap...

[lie lie lie]

I'm glad you seem to have made a friend, at least.

[skilful]

Ehh, really? That's terrible of them, whoever they are. [ Spoken in the tone of someone who believes and then a pause, before looking on the bright side-- ] At least they made it an interesting read, I guess.

[ Totsuka chuckles then, nodding. ] A few, actually! I was lucky enough to meet up with people I know from back home, too.
