deernet | 001 Video; UN: Cuddlebunny

[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!

Well, Rei-chan is still living in her house- BUT OH OH OH! MY HOUSE IS HERE! DID YOU EVER SEE HER?

[She sees the cat and her eyes widen.]

Eeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!! SOOOO CUUUUTEEEEE! I miss my Luna.

I - wait, "her"? Do you mean Rei? Or your house?

[He's just got to check, there.]

Luna? You had a cat, too?

My house! You already know Rei! .... Do you know Rei? You know Rei? Right? Yes?

[She's so tired she's not sure anymore.]

I did! She is only the smartest kitty in the galaxy! [How many other cats can hack into computers and keep an entire secret base under an arcade.] She's black with a crescent moon bald spot in the middle of her forehead and bright blue eyes. I've had her for years.

I wish she would show up here.

Yeah, I know Rei. Don't worry about that. But, no, I haven't seen your house yet.

[Oh. He would love to meet that cat -]

Oh - She sounds amazing. Did you ever try and... ask for her? That's how mine got here. Someone asked for him.

She's PINK, and I mean like really really really pink! It's located in Cellar Door? I think that's the name, yeah, Cellar Door.

Hmm? Oh... no... not... no. I have a pillow and kigurumi that look like her, but not... her. I didn't have the heart to bring her to Deerington, don't have the heart to do it now. I want her here but... I don't want her here either, even though I know Luna would want to be by my side.

I'm sorry.

That's... I know how hard that is. Wanting someone nearby, but knowing it's better they aren't.

It sucks. But... it's okay.

You just... make do, and I am grateful she's safe.

Yeah. That's the way we have to think about it, isn't it?

At least they're okay, they're safe.

Have to... yeah... but maybe should as well too. [A small shrug.]

They're safe, and... and I really truly believe we'll see them again. [She HAS to believe that.]

Maybe we can all learn from your example.

[Shiro, don't say such endearing things! Usagi blushes.]

What? No no, I mean, I'm a terrible example on a lot of things.

No, I think you've got a good point about all this. People could really benefit from hearing that.

Shiro-san, I don't know that people would... I mean, they probably will come to that on their own.

You never know.

It might be exactly what people need to hear. Especially if they never saw Deerington. If they have no experience waking up somewhere else like this.

W-Well, if someone... I mean, I don't know if they would know to ask but uh... if someone needed to hear it, I guess.

All right then.

When I meet a new arrival who needs a peptalk, I'll call you.

[Shiro you shit.]

That... that's actually probably a bad idea.

I'm a lot.

And pushy.

And overbearing.

That's probably super offputting.

I wouldn't say that. Any of that.

We all have our weaknesses, it's just part of being human. But I see a very outgoing, optimistic person with a lot of heart. And people need that more than they know.

Even if it's just for a little positivity.

We don't talk enough, give it time. You would- will. [She knows she has plenty of faults, she's a crybaby, a klutz, lazy, always late.

She's accepted the "overbearing" and "pushy" comments people have mentioned to her on top of all her other faults.

She's a mountain of them.]

I am optimistic, and outgoing. But it would be wrong to pretend I'm not those other things either. It's okay. Though knowing your flaws and not changing them is probably worse than being unaware, huh? I'm trying to work on that.

I doubt that. I doubt that very much.

[Shiro's made friends with far pushier people. Far more difficult to get along with people. In his opinion, Usagi definitely doesn't fall into any of those categories.]

Just don't let that get in the way of your strengths. They're very powerful ones to have.

Guess we'll have to become better friends, Shiro-san.

And I know that too. I have a lot of people who love me, and they have amazing judgment. So all those people can't be wrong. [Usagi knows a lot of people love her, depend on her, believe in her. If she cannot believe in herself at times, she can believe in their faith, and that feels even stronger.]

No, they can't be.

So I bet, if I asked them if you'd be a good fit for giving new arrivals a boost, they'd agree with me.

Guess you'd have to ask them. I wouldn't want to speak for them.

Guess I have some research to do then.

Let me know what you find out.
