[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!

[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.

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.]

[kyley_b]

Yeah. Sorry, it's a hell of a last name to pronounce, I know.

[Kyle smirks.] Oh, is Maul a friend of yours? We've talked a little bit. He's, uh. Interesting.

[Then he winces.] Uhm, no, not here... I knew an Obi-Wan before, though! But I don't think he liked me much. I asked too many questions, or something.

People seem pretty nice by and large, though. Including yourself.

[lightthedarkness]

It's just new, Broflovski-san, I'll get the hang of it.

He is. And he might even admit that. [She is, by and large, like one of three people able to get the Sith to calm down.

Or take him out completely.]

Well, no harm in trying with Obi-Wan again, yeah? He's super sweet, I promise. He's honestly one of the kindest people you CAN meet, oh! There are seriously so many nice people here! My best friends from home, Makoto, Rei, Minako, and then there's Atsushi, Mako-chan's boyfriend, and then Varian and Fern! And Bella! Oh and Michael-san! And Constantine-san, and Shiro-san!

And that's JUST getting started! And you seem really nice too, Broflovski-san!

[survivalthroughhate]

Usagi is wrong. We're not friends. We're-- [He struggles to come up with proper phrasing.] --we're-- [The Sith doesn't really know of a concise way of saying "She's my wife and we've been married twelve years but aren't interested in each other romantically".] --she's very much like my mate. Just without the romantic entanglements that usually entails.

[Maul does look a little less harsh when he talks about Usagi. She really is one of his best friends here.]

1/??? You asked for this

[lightthedarkness]

[Huh? Maul? What was he mad about now?]

2/??

[lightthedarkness]

EH!

3/??

[lightthedarkness]

WHAT DO YOU MEAN WE'RE NOT-

4/???

[lightthedarkness]

HOW COULD YOU SAY WE'RE NOT FRIENDS YOU GIANT JERK!

5/??

[lightthedarkness]

LITERALLY, AFTER EVERYTHING YOU HAVE THE AUDACITY TO-

6/???

[lightthedarkness]

I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU DON'T THINK WE'RE FRIENDS! [The rabbit is now legitimately crying.]

7/???

[lightthedarkness]

[But then... she stops.]

8/???

[lightthedarkness]

Wait.

9/???

[lightthedarkness]

[Wait.

Wait wait wait wait wait wait wait wait wait wait wait wait wait wait wait wait wait wait wait wait wait.

DID HE JUST SAY THEY WERE JUST LIKE MATES?]

10/???

[lightthedarkness]

EEEEEEEEEEEHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!??????????????

11/???

[lightthedarkness]

NOW HOLD ON ONE SECOND!

12/???

[lightthedarkness]

[But since she knows how much Maul SUCKS at speaking, she realizes.]

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaawwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!!!!!!!!!

13/???

[lightthedarkness]

I love you too, Maul! Just yeah, not in a romantic way!

14/16

[lightthedarkness]

However...

15/16

[lightthedarkness]

YOU GIANT DOPE! PEOPLE ARE GOING TO GET THE WRONG IDEA PHRASING IT LIKE THAT! YOU SERIOUSLY COULD HAVE USED A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT EXPLANATION!

16/16

[lightthedarkness]

But that's seriously so sweet of you, Maul.

1/2

[survivalthroughhate]

[He waits as he watches Usagi cycle through about fifteen different emotions until it appears she's finally done. Really, she can get so very emotional about things sometimes. He just doesn't get it.]

You're going to make this poor man think you're emotionally unstable with that display.

2/2

[survivalthroughhate]

[But also....]

I couldn't think of another way to explain our relationship! Having a mate on Dathomir means more than just being tied to someone romantically. It was the best term I could come up with.

[kyley_b]

Don't hurt yourself there, dude.

...so you're in a loveless marriage? That sounds... not good.

[lightthedarkness]

We're not married. And there's plenty of love. Just... not romantic.
