[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! ]

A sword. Unless they're weird in your world, it's nothing weird or different.

[redsea]

That isn't weird at all! ... What about magic? Does your world have magic?

[jailbreaks]

I can't personally use it, [Read: he's too lazy to study it] but there's a lot of people use magic, yeah.

[redsea]

So our worlds are similar... That's nice. I thought I was the only one who had such a world.

[jailbreaks]

No, you don't. Guess it doesn't seem odd to me other worlds can use magic like this one. It'd seem more odd to me to see a world without it.

[redsea]

You're right. Well, it isn't so hard to imagine a world without it, either. It sounds like a world that took a step backwards. Traveling by horse is much slower than by carpet...

[jailbreaks]

[That earns her a look...]

How the hell do you travel by carpet? And how's it faster?

[redsea]

That's simple. It flies!

[jailbreaks]

Take it there's some sort of spell?

[He's confused... though he's used to a flying whale carrying a boat everywhere when they need to travel so...]

[redsea]

[ A flying whale is definitely weirder. ]

Yes, there are many magic tools like it in my country. Does yours not have the same?

[jailbreaks]

Well, uh, unless they have blastia in them, no.

[He just leaves it at that probably knowing she has no idea what a blastia is.]

[redsea]

[ Squints. ]

... Is that like magoi?

[ It's probably better if she asks Estelle about these things, huh. ]

[jailbreaks]

The hell's magoi? If it's like a stone that converts Aer into magic, then yeah.

[Yeah... she's better off talking to Estelle about this. Yuri can't explain this shit.]

1/2

[redsea]

No. Ah, I don't really get it... But there's one thing I know for sure.

[redsea]

Yuri.

One of these days, you must spar with me.

[jailbreaks]

[Ah, that's right her hair pin does funky things.]

If you think you can keep up with me, then yeah. I'll accept the challenge.

[Cocky there, Yuri?]

[redsea]

We'll see who has trouble keeping up with whom! I might even have to give you a handicap. [ She's excited. ]

[jailbreaks]

Right, right, whatever you say, Kou.

[He doesn't believe she can't fight. It's nice to see someone challenge him, actually.]

Whenever you're ready, let me know and I'll be wherever you want us to spar.

[redsea]

What are you saying? I'm always ready. I'm only waiting for the time we return to Earth!

[ YEAHHH, FIGHTING. She hates being on the moon; she can't go all out. ]

[jailbreaks]

We could always use one of those Virtual whatever rooms, but if you wanna wait, then that's fine with me.

[A bit of a flippant response, but whatevs.]

[redsea]

[ She sighs. ]

But Yosuke said I might break the moon base and kill everyone.

[jailbreaks]

I dunno, I mean with how you whip out that sword, you might.

[Yuri, be nice.]

[redsea]

Hey! [ SHE ISN'T A DANGEROUS BLOODTHIRSTY WOMAN okay maybe she is. ]

Ooh... I'll talk to you later! I have friends to make!

[jailbreaks]

[He just laughs at her, letting her have the last say.]
