[When the video turns on, Usagi looks... well, honestly downright haggard. But Usagi, when exhausted has a bad habit of masking and thus, acts even more bubbly and energetic than usual. And before you ask, no, she's not fine. But she will lie and say she is.

But don't mention the bags under her eyes, that's rude.]

HI EVERYONE!

[She's waving at the screen excitedly in some hopes to not let on the deep exhaustion she's badly hiding.]

My name is Usagi Tsukino! I uh... met some of you before when we first got here but couldn't really properly introduce myself! BUT I CAN TALK AGAIN! [And she's decided to make that everyone's problem.] Actually, I've been able to talk for AWHILE but ANYWAY! So hi!

Anywho! Do you know what I realized last night? I mean, probably a LOT of people have realized this actually but I doooon't think anyone has said it, or, at least I don't think so! Maybe I missed it! Sorry if someone already said something like this!

[She's rambling.]

Anyhow! I realized that while lots and lots and lots and lots of people may already know lots and lots and lots of other people cause ya know, so many of us came from Deerington, there are JUST as many people who have absolutely no clue who anyone else is or where we are or why we're here! I mean, I'm those last two too, but I lucked out on knowing some of you!

SO! So so so! I thought, hey! Why not introduce yourself and then we can all get to know one another and we can all help one another and it will be awesome and we can be all amazing together!

I'LL START!

My name is Usagi Tsukino! I'm originally from Tokyo, Japan! I love cats and rabbits, food, and video games and my favorite hobbies are sleeping and eating but oh oh oh! I like shopping, making all sorts of new friends, playing video games, reading manga and comics, aaaaaand well actually I can't think of anything else right now!

Now it's your turn!

((OOC Notes: Feel free to tag other people, it's essentially an open post.))

Man, you look like you need a nap.

[But okay, this doesn't seem like a bad idea, even if it means using video instead of text for once.]

Uh, anyways, I'm Fern. I'm from Ooo, which is Earth. Or some version of Earth that people probably aren't gonna recognize. I used to be human, and also swords, but now I'm made of grass. [And flora and fungi apparently, judging by the lavender, yarrow, and mushrooms currently growing in his hair.] It's complicated.

I like comics, and music, and weapons and fighting. Normal junk. I'm pretty good at the flute, and I can make swords.

[lightthedarkness]

Haaaa funnily enough, I would really really really like to...

But can't.

But anyway! I didn't know you played the flute, Fern!

Hey Usagi. I'm glad you made it over here from Deerington. It's good to see you.

Are you doing okay? [Because, yeah -- she can definitely see some tiredness in her expression.]

Video; UN: Cuddlebunny

[lightthedarkness]

HUNTRESS! [One of her many crushes! She's here! Yay!]

It's great to see you too! And I'm doing great! [She is not.]

[onekindsoul]

[Don't think she doesn't notice how tired Usagi looks here. But it might be better to play along with this than call her out on it. After all it looked like a lot of people were suffering from the same lack of sleep that she was.

So instead Ruby just smiles at the camera.]

Hey there!

I'm Ruby, Ruby Rose and I'm from a world called Remnant.

I'm a Huntress. Basically a super cool monster hunter mercenary. My world is kind of absolutely infested with monsters and they hire us to fight them off and protect people. It's basically my dream job.

My other passion would be weapons! Do you have any? If so I want to see them- I build and customize weapons too so if anyone needs a hand with that I'd be happy to lend a hand. I made my baby, Crescent Rose, which is a high caliber sniper rifle scythe all on my own. So if you want some examples of my work I'd be happy to show 'em off.

Other than that I like to goof off with friends and play video games. If you need to get your butt kicked hit me up!

Video; UN: Cuddlebunny

[lightthedarkness]

Still can't beat my Sailor V score, though, now can ya?

[Because Usagi can't really... reveal that Winter Moon was made by Ruby and that it's an awesome weapon, mostly because it was specifically made for Sailor Moon, not her.]

un: agatsuma; video

[pinnedwings]

[Her sheer enthusiasm reminds him of Yuukio. That is what gets him to respond at all.]

Soubi Agatsuma, also from Tokyo. I was a student.

[It isn't much of an introduction, but this is not something he has a lot of practice with. Or any practice. Except for Ritsuka, most of the people in his life are there through sheer force of will. They just don't leave.]

Video; UN: Cuddlebunny

[lightthedarkness]

Nice to meet you, Agatsuma-san! What were you studying!

un: trienemybest; video

[droptheious]

[Guess who's having none of this and is going to be an obstinate little shit about this. Can you guess?]

My name is Varian and I'm worried about Usagi Tsukino who is blatantly exhausted and trying to pretend she's fine with an introduction game.

My hobbies include wanting Usagi Tsukino to rest and calling her out when she's hiding the fact she's struggling.

Video; UN: Cuddlebunny

[lightthedarkness]

[SO RUDE.]

It's not HIDING if no one asks. And the introduction game is important!

It's not like I don't WANT to rest. Believe me, I want to. I've worn double kigurumis just to see if that would do anything.

[imaglyphwitch]

Hey Usagi-chan! I'm glad to see you up on the network again!

I tried to do this myself, but I think you said it better than I did! So let me try and give this a better shot.

Hello guys! I'm Luz Noceda, your resident aspiring witch from Connecticut! I love reading, painting, fantasy and most animals! I was from Deerington, so I know a few people here, but it's still great to meet new people too! I like making new friends, I also like adventures, having fun, going to new places! If you ever see a girl with semi-spikey hair zipping around in the sky, it's probably me! Nice to meet ya!

*private*

Usagi-chan, you are kinda looking like me right now. Have you been feeling restless and unable to sleep too?

Video; UN: Cuddlebunny

[lightthedarkness]

Hi Luz-chan!

Did you? I'm so sorry. I didn't see it. Did it go well, did people introduce themselves?



[Private]

Haaaaa.... um.... well, yes. I even tried two kigurumis at one time.

[onerthes]

[Was Vira-Lorr a tiny bit tempted to mention the bags under her eyes? Yes, yes she was. She'd been struggling a small amount with her sleep, though going to duel and spar helped get it out of her system aa little bit. She was burning the energy off. But maybe not. Usagi would be fine, she was sure.]

This isn't a bad idea. They don't give us that free, awful dating app after all.

[Wince. she shouldn't give the universe ideas.]

...at least yet. Let's hope they never figure that one out. It was so horrid. But yes, this isn't a bad idea. I'm Vira-Lorr, and I am from another world called Agarest. I am a member of a race called the Onelthes. And I would like to think I'm always open for new experiences. I run a little fortune teller's shop in Cellar Door. Feel free to stop by anytime.

Video; UN: Cuddlebunny

[lightthedarkness]

[Should she feel insulted that Vira-Lorr keeps saying this isn't a bad idea? Cause she said it twice and it feels like this is an insult. Maybe it's the lack of sleep.]

Outside of Chloe, no one ever used mine. And I haven't seen her yet. [But also, she's really super grateful it isn't around because it revealed she was a princess.]

You already have a business up and running?! Geeze!

Video; un: darkness

[survivalthroughhate]

Go. To. Bed.

[Don't make your husband yell at you again, Usagi. He will make you sleep if he has to.]

My name is Darth Maul, and if you all don't already know me, you soon will. [That's definitely meant to sound as ominous as it comes off.] I am not a demon despite the appearance, that's merely coincidental. [Doubtful.] I am a Zabrak from a far different galaxy than most of you. I am also a Sith Lord who can use the Force, which means that I run on anger, hatred, and revenge. [In other words, he is as psychotic as he first looks. He pauses before adding on one last thing.] And if this all sounds terribly like a series of movies you may have once saw on Earth, then you are quite correct.

Video; UN: Cuddlebunny

[lightthedarkness]

Well FUNNILY, I'd really really like to.

But I cannot.

Want to.

But can't.

But you hardly run on JUST anger, hatred, and revenge anymore.

video; un r.hansen

[lefthemisphere]

Have you had a lotta caffeine?

[ good heavens ]

Video; UN: Cuddlebunny

[lightthedarkness]

Nope.

Wait...

....... Maybe.

I guess it depends on how much tea is in caffeine? [Why yes, she did just say tea is in caffeine.]

un: eudaimonikos; video

[eudaimonikos]

You really aren't looking great.

[Not yet introducing himself! Michael can certainly see the point, but he's still considering whether or not "I'm Michael and I'm a demon from Hell!" is a great thing to just yell to everyone.]

Video; UN: Cuddlebunny

[lightthedarkness]

[Wow, rude.]

Oh no, what's wrong with my outfit?

voice; un: shiro

[shiro2hero]

Hey, Usagi. You made it.

[Someone sounds just as exhausted as she does, really.]

I'll uh. Wow, it's been a while since I've done this.

I'm Shiro - I was in the dream from what we think was the first group of Sleepers to wake up. I came from Earth, but I'm a pilot, trained in space exploration.

I... know a lot about astronomy?

[lightthedarkness]

Shiro-kun! I did!

And you're doing great, Shiro-kun! You got this!

[kyley_b]

[He couldn't tell you why, but something about her reminds him suddenly and deeply of his old friend Kenny.]

Uh. Hi. Wow, you look really tired. But it's nice to meet you, Usagi.

I'm Kyle Broflovski, and I'm from Colorado. Uh, on Earth. In the the twenty-first century. Like, we have Netflix and good music. I was finishing my poli-sci degree and was supposed to start law school like, now actually, but obviously that didn't pan out. I was, uh, in space before here? With a bunch of aliens and people with super powers and space wizards and shit.

I'm not a Jedi or an alien or a mutant or anything. I'm just a normal boring human. But I can garden a bit, and shoot a rifle, and gut a fish and drive a truck? If that helps anybody.

So. Hi.

Video; UN: Cuddlebunny

[lightthedarkness]

Broflovski? [She tries the name more than once until she gets it right.] Nice to meet you, Broflovski-san! Seems like you're not the only one from America... or who went to space.

But that's great you are learning to become a lawyer!

And humans aren't boring! Humans are awesome! You don't have to have powers or be an alien to be awesome! And don't compare yourself to Jedi, believe me... or Sith for that matter. I'm friends with both. Maul will insist otherwise but he's lying about us not being friends. Oh oh oh! Have you gotten to meet Obi-Wan-san? Isn't he like, just the nicest guy around? He makes me feel so calm and light and happy. There's.... also Anakin! [She... welp, when you can't say anything nice.]

And... hmm... I don't know if I know any mutants. I know aliens, though. [And ya know... is one.]

[It had been a while, but Usagi's proven to be someone who's quite difficult to forget.]

Hey, Usagi! 'Member me, your old pal Hunk? Man, is it good to see a familiar face!

Video; UN: Cuddlebunny

[lightthedarkness]

HUNK! You gorgeous, chef you! You're here! Please tell me you remember how to cook all your amazing meals?

video; un: atsushi

[undermoonlight]

[In a few minutes, he's going to check on Usagi. Or well. Long distance 'check on,' since he's nervous about Bloodsport. But for now, Atsushi can concede that introductions are a nice idea... even amidst all of this violence. He does want to find someone from home, so;]

Uh. I'm Atsushi Nakajima and I'm from Yokohama, Japan. And uh, my hobbies are... my hobbies are...

... I can clean floors pretty fast?

[ooc: absolutely fine with 4th wall breaks to recognize his name.]

Video; UN: Cuddlebunny

[lightthedarkness]

HE'S ALSO SUPER SWEET AND GENTLE AND KIND AND YEAH, HE DOES CLEAN REALLY WELL! [Ever supportive.]

video | un: lyreplayer

[themuseabandonsyou]

[ Orpheus appears just slightly off-camera, holding the omni at just the wrong angle to get his entire face in frame. The perils of having to re-learn technology when you were never all that good with it in the first place. In any case, what is visible of him makes it very clear that he hasn't been sleeping particularly well either, slightly disheveled and with dark circles under his eyes. ]

Oh, this seems like a really good idea! Hi, I'm Orpheus. [ He waves, smiling before being overtaken by an irrepressible yawn. ] I'm from the United States, in the Southwest? I, um.

[ He pauses, frowning a little as he realizes he's not really sure how to talk about himself. What's interesting about him, again? Well, he guesses there's the big obvious thing, but he really doesn't like to talk about that. So what else? ]

I write music sometimes? And I play a few different instruments, but mostly lyre, guitar, and piano. I also tell and collect stories and songs, and I've been thinking about trying to gather and share some from our original homes as a way of remembering them while we're here? So if that's something people are interested in doing with me, let me know.

Video; UN: Cuddlebunny

[lightthedarkness]

Aaaah it makes me wish I was any good at any sort of instrument or singing to do something like that.

Video UN: blackmoths

[blackmothwings]

You look exhausted. You ought to get some sleep and save the introductions until after you've rested.

[She remembers this girl from Deerington. She also doesn't particularly wish to give any information about herself to others, and chooses to ignore that part of the post. She'd like to remain mysterious.]

Video; UN: Cuddlebunny

[lightthedarkness]

Lucille-san! [Fret not, Lucille, Usagi will do it for you. She never forgets a dignified, pretty face.]

You made it here too! That's great! Oh my gosh! So many people are here! And... ah... well, this is... I'm fine! [She is not.] I can't sleep anyway so hey, may as well do something useful with all that time.

Awwww Bellbell! That is so sweet of you to say! I'm glad you like the sound of it!
