Session 001 | Video | UN: gooddogmk2

[ka11an]

[The video starts and the sky blue with clouds above. Some messy blond hair sticks into frame as the camera moves. K-11 is holding the phone upside down as he aims it at his face. He smiles awkwardly as he moves the phone so the sun isn't shining directly behind his head. He is in someone's front yard and there is a massive black and orange rabbit behind him.]

Is it on? [He asks and stares at the screen. Then he smiles wide.]

It is! Huh? Why am I upside down? [Some fumbling with the phone occurs. The camera moving this way and that, getting another flash of the sky, then a close up on the hoodie K-11 is wearing, then finally his face right-side up this time. Behind him now is a cute cat lawn gnome. That definitely wasn't there a moment ago.]

There we go! Hi! I'm K-11. Or Kallan. Whichever you wanna say, I guess. I'm kinda new here? Cole said I should do one of these things. People do these apparently. Use their phone thingies to say hi and that they're new and get to know people.

I was in the Fairy Kingdom and it's neat there. But not a lot of food you can eat. But there's lots outside it. So that's nice. Um.

I don't know what else I'm supposed to say. I guess I'm really new to being outside. What kinda things do you do outside that I should try? Yeah! That sounds like a good question.

Let me know. Bye, I guess?

[K-11 fumbles with the phone again and manages to stop the video.]

un:happyaround, post-Sinsmas party

[roundandaround]

[The video clicks on to Rinku wearing a colourful sundress and waving in front of the ice rink that's been magically set up in Solarpeak.]

Hello, Ellipsa! Guess what! There's still just a few days until the Music Club's New Year's Live! Everyone's been working really hard to bring you an amazing show you're gonna love. Our theme this year is duets and teaming up, just to shake things up! Davis-san and I are gonna do the last song, and there are so many other sets I know you're gonna love! You can...

[Rinku pauses, pulls a notecard out of her pocket, reads it, and smiles at the camera.]

Right! You can find more information in the link in the description of my post! I've got samples of last year's concert linked too. And if you wanna know anything else, just ask me!

Oh, speaking of performances! The kids formed a band! Well, the Pokémon ones, anyway. They're too shy to get up on stage and they're usually sleeping by the time the show starts, but Hina-chan really wanted you guys to hear their song. So here!

[Rinku glows like a proud guardian should, even as she switches to a video file with four little Pokémon playing little plastic toy instruments. Mecchan the Sobble on keyboard, Mimi the Mimikyu on guitar, Dusty the Shuppet on drums, and Hina the Zubat on lead vocals with a little microphone, clearly thinking she is going to be the city's newest star. Above them is a banner made from art paper, taped onto the wall, reading BAND in shaky block letters in crayon.

...It's not very good. They're small Pokémon at the level of toddlers and the lead singer communicates in bat squeaks, it's to be expected. But they're having fun, and that's what matters.]

Lyrics (if you happen to speak Zubat):

You bite people because you don't like anyone
I bite people because biting is fun
Stop trying to make everybody go away
It's more fun if you come with us to play

Frills
Why are you mean
Why are you mean
Why are you mean

Frills
Why are you mean
You should be nice
Why are you mean

(OOC: The New Year's show will lead into a player plot where the game undergoes a musical episode: details here. The most recent Music Club log is here. Music Club members are encouraged to pair up and do duet performances this year, but any kind of performance is encouraged, and there will be a toplevel on the log for any performances, just like last year's. And if your character hasn't signed up for Music Club yet and you want them to perform, we can always handwave it! Rinku accepts all.)

Video | UN: Airplane [Hidden from Xie Lian]

[Shang Qinghua's in his office, scribbling something that can't be seen by the camera on a drawing pad.]

Hey, does anyone know where someone can buy fabric around here? Maybe a craft store or something? I've got a project I want to do for Xie Lian, so don't tell him.

Probably gonna need some yarn and stuffing too.
