[The video starts up on a new face, someone who's apparently found her apartment and original clothes and everything. She is very orange. She has also propped the phone up somehow and spread out across the table are a whole bunch of pamphlets -- pretty much every pamphlet it's possible to get when first arriving to this world -- and a notepad which, due to angle and distance, it's possible to see some writing in it but not to make out what it actually says.]

Allll right, everything seems to be working... Hello everybody!

[That smile is very wide and almost tangibly nervous. She bounces on her feet; a pen is in one hand even as she gestures them a lot as she talks.]

It is great to meet all of you, I am super excited to get to know more people who've been brought into all of this... From what I've seen, we have the responsibility of helping save this world, but we're also responsible for leading our own lives like normal people, needing places to stay, money, jobs...

[She picks up her notepad, eyes darting over what she's already written.]

It sounds like there are a lot of benefits to joining one of these Guilds, but I'd love to hear from anyone who actually has experience with them, good or bad... Or experience with other jobs or ways to help! And if someone happens to have any more questions, who or what is the best source of information in this city? After all, it's always safer to know what to expect.

--Oh! I almost forgot. I'm Anxiety!

[She sure is.]

Two months, yeah. I've learned a lot about how this place works, though I haven't been here as long as most of the others. Oh, and I was here at some point before you and the other newer emotions had come along. Which probably sounds really confusing... but I can confirm that you don't remember anything when you go back... but you do if you return. It's weird.

Be there in a sec.

[She's already on her way even before she finishes her message - her preferred mode of transportation sure makes getting around easier. Not so much faster, but it works.

Soon enough, there's a knock at Anxiety's door. Sadness would look just the same as she remembered, at least.]

[Two months. Two months, that was awful! Was it awful? Sadness seemed calm, she didn't sound too bothered by it, and Anxiety already knew they might be here a lot longer than two months and supposedly time wasn't passing back home at all and it sounded like that was true... But two months alone, away from Riley and most (in Sadness's case until now, all) of the other emotions, and trying to survive in completely unfamiliar lives...

That felt awful, anyway, but Anxiety tried to ignore the feeling, raising her notepad to hide behind it and scribble a few more notes on what Sadness was saying.]

Right, I'll let you go so you can travel more easily, I'll be waiting!

[Anxiety puts away her phone for now and manages to find what's necessary in the lightly furnished apartment to make some of her Anxi-Tea. She could really use some tea. When a knock comes to her door, she figures monsters probably wouldn't knock and if it's not Sadness it might be some more people going around greeting and explaining things to new people and they'd be worth listening to, so she hurries over to the door and cracks it open to peek out.]

Sadness! It's great to see you, please come in. [She opens the door wider and steps out of the way so that Sadness can enter, managing a wired, nervous grin. Two cups of tea -- she desperately needs to find more somewhere -- are on the table alongside the now-stacked pamphlets.] I made tea! Yours is the cup closest to the door.
