[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!

[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.]

[lightthedarkness]

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

[undermoonlight]

Usagi-chan...

[He appreciates praise, even if it's embarrassing.]

Thank you. I think I get most of it from hanging out with you and Makoto-chan though? You've been the best friends I could ask for in this place.

[lightthedarkness]

Saaa friends can influence someone a lot. [Just look at her and Maul.] But yours' is also you being you! You can't credit all of that to me and Mako-chan when you were so sweet when we first met.

[undermoonlight]

I’m glad you see it that way.

[Thats the most important part, he assured himself. He can’t keep spiraling into self hatred over compliments.]

Have you had any luck making new friends?

[lightthedarkness]

I DO CAUSE IT'S TRUE!

[She winces, whoops, that was loud.]

And I have! I already invited one of them to the house for video games!

[undermoonlight]

Huh- Should I try to prepare something for them? I wonder how to entertain people in the Trench…

[lightthedarkness]

If you want! But Kyle-san said he'd bring snacks. [Part of the reason why Usagi invited him over so quickly.]

[undermoonlight]

…Sounds about right.

[That explains why he got the invite so quickly!]

I can try to make something to go alongside them. We want to leave a good impression, right? [Isnt that how home owning works? Atsushi doesn’t know for sure.]

[lightthedarkness]

You're such a good host, Sushi-kun! Yes, I agree! We need to go grocery shopping anyway!

[thunderingcourage]

You're getting pretty good at baking too. And are really good at checking on others.

You're very considerate and thoughtful.

Video; UN: Cuddlebunny

[lightthedarkness]

HA! See, Mako-chan agrees with me! So it's true! The only way this would be MORE true is if Rei-chan and Ami-chan agreed to it.

[undermoonlight]

[Before he can sink into a cozy moment with Makoto, Usagi is chiming in. Atsushi is visibly flustered to have them teaming up about complimenting him.]

Uh well- Thank you, both of you… I didn’t really bake much before you were both here, though. I’m pretty sure I only bake for you, too.

[lightthedarkness]

[Usagi is too hazy-minded to realize she intruded on a warm, squishy feelings moment for the lovebirds. She feels too vindicated in being right.]

Theeeen clearly, we should share your baked goods with the world!

[thunderingcourage]

He could help us make welcome baskets with fresh cookies and other treats for people.

[lightthedarkness]

YOU'RE A GENIUS, MAKO-CHAN!

[undermoonlight]

I appreciate the vote of confidence, but I feel like I'd be wasting ingredients compared to Makoto-chan's baking. I'm only imitating her recipes.

[though he is secretly very glad that they like his baking so much.]

[lightthedarkness]

Can't improve if you don't practice! You think I got the high score on video games by luck? Nu-uh!

[undermoonlight]

[... He did, actually. Well, luck and nature talent.

But he'd feel stupid admitting to that.]

Well... I can keep trying. As long as you don't mind trying to eat what I make.

Video; UN: rosestorm

[thunderingcourage]

I'm pretty sure that Rei agrees. Or she would probably object more to all of us staying together, and she seems to approve of him enough that she hasn't objected to him and that's pretty big.

And we already know what Mina-chan thinks. But I'm sure he would win over Ami too.

[lightthedarkness]

[Rei-chan and Haruka were literally the hardest people to get approval from. They should make badges for people who earn it.]

That's because Sushi-kun is a sweetie. You have excellent tastes in boyfriends, Mako-chan.

Re: Video;

[thunderingcourage]

[The Rei and Haruka approval stamp, it would be a rare but prestigious award.]

I guess I was pretty lucky, though I still think you two would have been cute too.

Video;

[lightthedarkness]

[Considering Seiya and the Starlights never even earned it, very difficult.]

No no no no! I mean... yes, he's very cute but no! No! You two are so good for one another! And you deserve to have someone see all the absolutely amazing qualities you have that the girls and I see every single day! And he does that! And you help him see the good in him too cause he doesn't see his either! You're like you're like...

YOU'RE LIKE BUTTERFLIES THAT CAN'T SEE THEIR OWN WINGS OR-OR SOMETHING! [She's tired, don't judge.]

Video;

[thunderingcourage]

I'm really glad that we found each other, and you're right that we're pretty good about reminding each other of the things that we don't see in ourselves. But that's why I love all of you too, because you're so amazing and supportive. And Sushi-kun and I probably wouldn't have realized anything if not for you and Mina-chan helping out.

[lightthedarkness]

She's not the Goddess of Love for nothing! We just hurried things along, you probably would have both gotten there... eventually... like, maybe a year or so down the line. [Gentle teasing.]
