[The camera turns on and Flynn is staring at someone off camera, frowning slightly before he looks back at the recording device. He opens his mouth to speak, then shuts it, and then finally he relaxes. He gives the camera a smile and a nod of acknowledgement]

I was told that this device can record me and put my words onto a network.

[Flynn gives a small wave.]

Consider this a practice round for me. I'm Flynn Scifo, and I hope to get along with everyone.

[He looks back over to whoever is off camera and cocks his head to the side.]

Is that good?

[The blond looks back at the camera and gives a sheepish grin.]

That's all for now. See you later.

[With that the video cuts off.]

1/? idk man give him a minute

[at_heart]

[ It was nice of Saya to give him a heads-up. Didn't help, because he just spent a full minute staring at the text and not processing the words in it, but it was nice of her. ]

2/?

[at_heart]

[ But there you are. Looking, sounding, just like he remembers.

It's honestly kind of painful. ]

3/?

[at_heart]

[ He should really be turning on his camera. Saying something. That's what he would do ordinarily, right?

Didn't he promise himself he'd be normal about this. ]

4/?

[at_heart]

[ Yuri's thumb hovers over the button to reply, and a funny thought occurs to him, not for the first time: He needed help with the phone.

It was one of the first things that occurred to him when he saw Saya's texts, and he'd pushed it away as unimportant. But the thought just kept coming back. Like his brain was stuck on a loop.

What did it matter that he'd needed help with the phone? Most people did. The only reason Yuri hadn't was— ]

5/?

[at_heart]

[ ...oh.

Right.

The obvious thing. ]

6/?

[at_heart]

[ Repede pads up to sit beside him, a firm reassuring weight at his side, and Yuri lets out a slow breath.

It's okay. It's better. No one should have to remember that place. And if you don't, then—

Then maybe he can really be normal.

(Fuck, what would he have said to this if it had been two months instead of eight.) ]

un:🐺; video

[at_heart]

[ It hasn't even been a minute, all these thoughts went through his head very fast, but Yuri still feels conspicuously late as he turns on the video with a crooked smile. ]

A little late, aren't you? If I'd baked a cake I definitely would've had to throw it out by now.

[ So of course the solution is to make that Flynn's problem instead. ] [ Bonus: Repede is visible in frame. ]

action; timey wimey in full effect here

[outofoffice]

[ Venti saw the network post, of course. And though he may not have known Flynn well in Tokyo-F, he knows very much what this means for Yuri.

Venti drapes himself over the back of the couch, posture and expression light, but eyes very much boring into Yuri. ]

I'd ask you how you're feeling, but something tells me you're still sorting that out.

[Waves!]

Hello, Flynn! Welcome to using the new technology! Remember, once you've recorded something and put it up, it's there forever!

I'm Tenshouin Eichi, by the way. I have much helpful information, and even more unhelpful but interesting information~

[bravestknight]

Thanks for the advice. It's nice to meet you, and I'd appreciate any helpful information you have to give.

[He smiles at Eichi, calmly and inclines his head.]

What do you prefer to go by? I don't want to be rude.

[roundandaround]

Hiiii!

[Rinku waves on her end of the video.]

Yeah, yeah! That works! Does your home not have internet?

[bravestknight]

Internet? No, I've never heard of something like that in our world.

[He waves back to her slightly.]

Hello.

[outofoffice]

[ holy shit

Just going to pretend he doesn't know who this guy is . . . ]

You did great! You'll be ready for a career as an internet star in no time!

[bravestknight]

[He definitely doesn't know you, so he's going to nod slightly.]

I'll have to take your word for it.

I think I still prefer to be off of this thing. But, it's convenient for talking to others that aren't near by.

[Like Yuri.]

[kingside]

[... Hm.]

Welcome to Ellipsa. Do you require further orientation?

[Because he seems pretty well-covered on that front. Doesn't hurt to ask, though.]

Re: text; un: shinkirou

[bravestknight]

Thanks.

[He considers for a second and nods.]

It's good to hear from multiple people, so more information couldn't hurt.

video | un: kenta

[fiorello]

I can hear you! [ That's... not really what he asked, but it's fine(?). Saying he hears him means the same thing as him doing a good job posting, right? Right. Definitely. ] It's nice to meet you, Flynn. I'm Kenta!

[bravestknight]

Oh. Good. I'm glad this went through.

[He's been receiving all sorts of messages and everyone's been so welcoming. He smiles back.]

It's nice to meet you Kenta. How long have you been here?

[This video starts with a woman with white hair and pale skin. She's seated outside what looks like a crude shelter. The field only frames from her mid-torso up, but it's enough to at least see some of her risqué outfit the bodice lacy and revealing, like lingerie. Is that what kind of place this is? Who knows? She's got some sort of meat on a bone in her free hand of which she takes a bite of before speaking with her mouth full.]

Mmph... Hey, [She swallows and gestures at the camera with the meat.] So you're new around here, huh? This device is the least of the fucked up shit that goes on here. In any case, I'm Kainé. Allow me to be the first or fiftieth, whatever, person to welcome you.

[bravestknight]

[So yeah. Flynn is immediately beat red in the face and he covers his mouth with his hand. He clears his throat, and shakes out his head as he focuses on something safe. So he's talking to her, but his cheeks are flushed but his voice is kind and he keeps his eyes on hers.]

It's nice to meet you Kaine. Can you tell me a little more about the messed up stuff that goes on here?

un: harunyan

[uncommonsense]

Hmmm.

[ Looking into the camera herself, Haruhi tilts her head... then, shakes. ]

Even for a practice round, there's not much to it! You should give a better introduction than that.

[bravestknight]

I don't know exactly what else to say to be honest.

[He tells her with a small smile.]

video, un: kantera

[happydreamed]

Hello, Flynn. My name is Kantera - I'm one of Yuri's housemates, so I'm sure we'll run into each other.

[Don't mind the horns and wings, he's very normal.]

[bravestknight]

Hello Kantera.

[He tilts his head to the side and smiles.]

So you know Yuri. Saya too I guess, since she lives there.

[He doesn't want to assume who he's talking to since Saya had mentioned her husband having wings and horns.]

It's nice to meet you.

[paddra_nsu_yeul]

I too hope to get along with everyone. (Even though she knows that is impossible.) Hello, Flynn. What season chose you?

[bravestknight]

Well, I hope we can get along well then.

[He smiles at her.]

Spring? What about you. Also, what do I call you?

Thank you. I'm not sure how fun it'll be, but it's different, that's for sure.

[What a wholesome post... Izuku never gets tired of how nice it is to see people learning about all of these things. It's always so wholesome.]

Hello, Scifo-san! The video looks good to me?

[He nods encouragingly.]

If you need any help with your phone or any settings I can try to help. My name is Izuku Midoriya.

Re: un: 🥦deku🥦

[bravestknight]

Thank you.

What would you prefer I call you?

[He smiles and gives a slight wave to Izuku.]
