[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! ]

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.
