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!

Right. I don't think I talked to many people who felt that way. I guess... I guess I could understand it? But...

[ It just seems a little beyond him. She was just a kid. A demigod, too, or maybe a goddess in her own right, but one whose powers were far beyond her. Maybe it's his own heritage swaying him, but he can't help but think of how terrifying that must have been for her, first and foremost. ]

Anyway, it's good to meet you. I'm Orpheus. I was in Deerington for about a year, I think?

[shiro2hero]

They had a target. Angry people, they found someone to blame. I can't agree with it, but - I see why they were angry.

[He just thinks they were angry at the wrong person. Maybe he sees too much of his own situation in Sodder... too much to blame her for anything she'd done.]

It's nice to meet you. Better here than in the dream, we're hoping.

[themuseabandonsyou]

There was a lot to be upset about, there. Hopefully that won't be as true here, though? The people seem much nicer, at least!

[ And he personally has the most important thing he could possibly think to ask for here in the form of a second chance with Eurydice, so he's not-so-hesitantly optimistic about things here. There's a bit of worry, of course, that comes with knowing that things could go bad, and that now that means she could be in danger as well, but he's having a hard time being too upset about the notion just yet. ]

Have you had much time to settle in? My wife and I are still trying to figure out a place to live, but people don't seem to mind too much if you stay in the empty buildings as long as you don't get in anyone's way.

[shiro2hero]

Yeah, they do. I'm happy about that, don't get me wrong - it's just going to take some getting used to.

[It's absolutely not bad. It's a much needed change for a lot of them. Especially the most ostracized among them. Which would end up being a lot of the people he cares about. He hopes this will be better. Hopes the locals' attitudes won't change.]

A bit, yeah. I found the house I was staying in, in Deerington. Just... waiting to see if my teammates and partner show up. [He hopes - oh how he hopes...] Your wife is with you?

[themuseabandonsyou]

You found your house here? [ That's kind of a surprise. ] Do you think this is the same place, then? As we were before. I thought we must be somewhere else, what with there being an ocean here now, and no other buildings I recognized? But apparently it's been a really long time since - since Julia, and the dream.

[ He goes a little quiet again at that, thinking, before shaking it off. ]

But, yes! I didn't think I'd ever see her again, but it turned out she got here a little before I did. [ He beams, glancing off-camera and presumably in her direction. ]
