002: Lanterns and Research (Video; un: flyer)
[It was only the second time Rider had addressed the network. Getting questions out publicly like this was well out of her comfort zone, but for at least half of her inquiry, she needed to expand her field of questioning beyond her regular contacts. So here she was, lurking in a quiet cafe near the Dayrise Colosseum.
The whole thing was uncomfortable and awkward as always for the introverted woman- even before the latent anxiety that someone would recognise her from that whole 'giant snake monster' quest not too long ago.
Sigh.]
I wanted to ask something...does anyone here work with the Research Center, or has anyone asked them to assist with developing items, equipment or other things?
Things that would help mitigate problems from home, I mean.
[Nice and vague! But as it was, she wasn't particularly happy to just explain exactly what she was looking for to everyone, even as she floated the question. Still, wasn't this asking people for information that was too personal? She should have thought of that.]
...Do not feel obligated to share anything private.
...
It seems as if, with the current festivities, the locals are being more... difficult than usual. They have been unusually accommodating and generous toward me since last night, but I dislike the extra attention. I am certain it will only start again when I try to go home.
Is this normal for this event in particular...?
[She'd not yet taken her blindfold off, so had absolutely no idea that she was glowing. So to Rider, it all seemed a little sudden and very excessive. Looks like she'd have to use her spirit form if she wanted to travel home unaccosted!
But whilst she wouldn't necessarily admit it, she had slept more peacefully last night than she had for a long time- receiving a comforting message from her beloved big sisters in her dreams.]

Awkward snek continues to be resoundingly awkward.
[She had no idea what he process would be- if they would need to carry out measurements on the power of her eyes first, or how many samples they would need her to try out. And whilst she wasn't thrilled at the idea of them running too many tests on her, she trusted Evangeline.]
...This sort of thing suits you. You are...kind, even to people like me.
cutie
[She has a couple of human friends here, now that she isn't worried about something happening to them, but she still ends up with her foot in her mouth on a regular basis.]
