[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.]

[at_heart]

What would I be busy with?

[ being. so. normal. ]

[bravestknight]

I don't know.

[He smiles slightly.]

I'm new here, remember? I just want to come see you.

[kingside]

[Gods, does he have advice beyond what he's already said? Hard to say, frankly. But...]

Keep your wits about you. Know who your allies are. Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake. That sort of thing.

I'd also suggest familiarizing yourself with your phone's various functions as quickly as possible, but it seems you're already working on that.

[at_heart]

[ Pushes out a slow breath. ]

—Right. Right.

I can come to you?

[bravestknight]

We could meet somewhere in the middle?

[He suggested gently. He still looked ready to bolt, his shoulders tense. He's not upset, just wants to get to his friend and talk a little bit more.]

[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]

[It's amusing to hear it come from someone else rather than a superior when talking about fighting.]

Do you spar? It sounds like you might have some experience with combat.

[He's also having a time trying to figure out what is going on with this device.]

So it's called a phone? I was just calling it a device.

[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.

[happydreamed]

My beloved wife and our mutual dear friend, yes.

[There are definitely other people with wings and/or horns in Ellipsa in general, but Venti only has wings some of the time and no one else in the house has horns.]

You should come over for tea sometime.

[paddra_nsu_yeul]

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

[roundandaround]

I can't think of what all else happened, but I think it was a lot! But at least this place is nice. There's people here who came from someplace really scary and always have stories that make you wanna close your ears and hide...

[uncommonsense]

More about yourself! Where'd you come from? Do you already know magic on top of what you're learning here? Have you ever had to use a camera before?!

[bravestknight]

Well, I hope we can get along well then.

[He smiles at her.]

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

[bravestknight]

Well, I do know artes that help us to exterminate monsters and heal people.

[He motions to the camera.]

This is the first time I've done something like this.

[paddra_nsu_yeul]

I don't see why we can't. I'm Yeul.

(She returns the expression, bright and ready.)

Winter. (Which might seem strange, but Yeul's history is...interesting.) It was difficult getting through the snow.

[bravestknight]

Oh? I'm sure that's not very fun to hear.

[He blinks when she talks about a place that was really scary.]

I'm sorry you had to hear about it, but it's good that this place seems nice.

[bravestknight]

I'm probably going to head over pretty soon. I want to check on Yuri.

[He inclines his head to Kantera and smiles.]

I'm looking forward to meeting you in person, especially since Saya is so nice. I can only assume that you are just as great as she is.

[happydreamed]

I'm uncertain anyone could live up to her, but I do my best.

Yuri is doing well. He started a branch of Brave Vesperia here recently, which I have the honor of being part of.

[fiorello]

Three months! [ He says, clearly very happy about this fact. ] Everyone's been really nice to me, so I'm sure they'll be to you, too!

[ Flawless logic. But also, speaking of that kindness: ] Do you wanna be friends?

[kingside]

I just play a lot of chess, really.

Yes, it's a phone. Originally, at least on my world, they were a means of communicating verbally across great distances, but we later added text and video. The phones here are actually more advanced than what I'm used to, mostly. It's not impossible to pick up, though.

[pissoffbook]

[Kainé doesn't even blink an eye at his fluster. Funfact: she always dresses like this. In fact, Yuri even helped her pick out some new styles!

She takes another bite of the giant hunk of meat, chews and swallows again.]

Hope you like touching people. That's the main one. It can really be a fucking trip though! Then there's skeletons that steal your clothes, rain dancing, underwear thieves, and more. I can't even begin to describe it all. Just giving you a head's up.

[She's sorry Flynn. She was just as flustered as you when she first arrived. In fact, there are still things that fluster her. But right now? She's got the security of being behind camera. So she can be as blunt as she wants. Not that she's not usually pretty blunt.

He may have noticed her bandages. Well, they're about to become somewhat relevant now.

Suddenly there's another voice. One that sounds sadistic, manipulative, bloodthirsty, and vaguely evil that seems to come out of nowhere.

Hey Sunshine, when were you plannin' on introducing lil 'ol me? Bwah ha ha!

Kainé makes a face but doesn't seem to look off screen at anyone.]

And if you ever hear that asshole. Don't listen to a goddamn thing he says.

[Oh ho how! You don't mean that, Sunshine. Besides, who the hell's gonna stop me? Kya ha ha.

Kainé's confident demeanor wavers and there's a flash of unease in her yellow-grey eyes as well as her posture mirroring her discomfort.]

A... anyway, if you need help settling in... I got you.

[It's something the guild would do, right?]

[carrionmywaywardsun]

yeah nice job you figured it out

welcome to Ellipsa Flynn Scifo

this'll be fun

[roundandaround]

That's okay! I mean, it's more important that everyone here is safe and can have lots of fun, right? And we're gonna get strong and save the world and the magic, too!

[bravestknight]

[You remind him so much of someone, he can't help but smile.]

Yeah, we are going to do what we can to save this world. I look forward to working with you Miss Rinku.

[bravestknight]

Chess?

[There is probably something similar back in their world.]

Do you still play it here? Is it hard to learn?

[He pauses to look at the little "phone" and he taps the small charm and nods as he sighs.]

I guess I'll have to get used to it. I'm sure it won't be too bad.
