Good day, everyone. Forgive me for taking up some of your time.

[ .. it's hard to see who's speaking though. It seems that the person has set down their Omni in front of them, which means that the camera is just filming.. someone's knees as they're kneeling on the ground. ]

My name is Chizuru, Chizuru Yukimura. I have a few questions about this place. Of course I mean to repay anyone for sharing their advice and time with me. I.. um, I could cook something for you, or I could try to see if I could help you with a different favour.. [ The voice momentarily trails off, like the person is thinking, before she speaks on. ]

I-In any case. My first question has to do with the food here. I've already found a lot of different sorts of food I'm not used to, and I would really appreciate it if someone could help me with figuring out some of them, like.. what they taste like, or how they are supposed to be used in dishes..

Secondly.. I'm looking for the Shinsengumi. [ Something dips in the tone as that's being said, a hint of sadness sneaking in. ] I know that the chance they have found themselves here is very low, but if they are here, or if anyone has heard of them, I would like to know.

[ Maybe she could use some technological help too, given.. you know. The obviously unintended pants-view. There's even shadows moving around, like she's moving her hands off screen since she thinks the device is filming all of her. ]

Aside from that.. I would honestly appreciate any and all advice on living here. I have to admit I've found myself.. um.. feeling a little overwhelmed, I suppose you could say.. [ Now there's some fluster in the tone. ] For example..

[ She pauses.

It's a long, awkward pause, and her voice is a little softer when she speaks on. ]

This method of communication.. is not just meant to find people to, um-- to get.. involved with, is it? [ Someone saw Obi-Wan's post, apparently. ] In that case.. I-I'm sorry, but that wasn't my intention..!

[ A young girl sits at a table in an otherwise nondescript room, her hands folded in front of her in a picture of perfect professionalism. Her white button-down shirt is similarly perfect, not a wrinkle in sight, and tailored to her thin frame. Her gaze into her omni is expressionless — some might call it cold — and her high, childish voice is tempered with the assured enunciation of an adult. ]

Good evening. My name is Tanya von Degurechaff. I'm new here, so I have a couple questions for anyone willing to answer.

First, what kind of job do you currently have? If you don't have one, then I'm also interested in hearing what you did before you arrived here.

Second, are there any jobs or businesses you'd like to see here? I recognize that this is a broad question, but since we come from a broad range of backgrounds, any feedback is welcome.

[ A pause, a stray thought seeming to flicker through her head before she continues. ]

As for myself, I have experience with personnel management, various air-based operations, tactical field research, and administrative work. More broadly, I'm an aerial mage. The business I'd like to see is a coffee shop.

[ Even as the image can be seen, it seems like there's still a moment of set up, tiny hands fiddling with the Omni like they're trying to get the perfect shot.. But then there are two faces visible. Two faces that are looking decidedly younger than usually - it's Ange and Ruby, looking like they definitely can't be much older than six years old.

And looking very excited. ]

Um, so, so..! We heard that there's some sort of reaaally scary snake monster out there! So.. we thought we'd help out everyone and get rid of it! Because Ruby.. She's a really, reaaally cool huntress! [ Ange may be Will-Smith-esque posing at Ruby for emphasis right as she says that. ]

[Ruby just stares at the camera briefly until she notices Ange's hands pointing her way. She blinks and quickly starts to flex her twiggy arms to the camera.]

Yeah! We're super strong and awesome and we've got tons of weapons! [Ruby gestures to a sack of potato's and a large collection of sticks that they've gathered up.]

That snack is going to be- a- -uh- a, a piece of snack!

[ While Ruby is saying that last part, it seems that Ange has already moved over to grab one of the sticks for a demonstration. As she's running back towards where Ruby and the Omni are, she's waving the stick wildly. ]

We'll get it just like thi--

[ Ange manages to smack the stick right against the device, turning the view sideways before it just cuts out entirely.

Oops. ]
