[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! ]

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!

[geniality]

I guess it's pretty important, huh....

[redsea]

It's not just "pretty"! Honestly...

Though I can't imagine any of you doing that.

[geniality]

It seems like I always miss the important stuff like that, but everyone was pretty impressive, from what I've heard!

[redsea]

So that's how it is... [ JUDGING YOU, SETO. ] How are you even able to do these things? Kido seemed like a normal person to me.

[ Kano had that disappearing thing but she only thought he was being super sneaky! ]

[geniality]

[A normal person.... well, that's another side of the Mekakushi Dan.]

I guess we're able to do cool things when we work together. [But his tone changed a little bit.]

[redsea]

A...ah. [ She isn't sure how to react to that. ] You must all be very good friends...

[geniality]

[And look, he's right back to his usual self!]

Yeah! Kido and Kano and I all grew up together.

[redsea]

That sounds nice... [ Childhood friends! ]

... ah.

Does thst mean you have embarrassing stories about them?

[geniality]

Tons and tons! I bet I could go on for days.

[redsea]

... Do you have any about Kano? Could you tell me just one? Please?

[ SHE WANTS TO GET BACK AT HIM!!!! ]

[geniality]

Yeah, I can think of lots! He'd get really mad if I told you though.

[redsea]

But he keeps laughing at me.

[geniality]

That's just how he is. Don't take him too seriously.

[redsea]

...I will try.
