[ Video opens on Sarajevo, who's apparently lying on a rooftop somewhere, judging by how far away the ground behind/below her is. She flashes a pair of peace signs (she's holding the phone with her tail). ]

Hey, fellas! It's ya girl, Sarajevo. Seen a lot of humans around, so I wanted to check something real quick.

Anyone else here from Terra? You know, the one with the Catastrophes and the nomadic cities? And the Savrans? I'm pretty sure I saw some Cautus and Elafria around, maybe a couple Feline. We don't have humans there, so just based on that, I'm guessing we're in the minority here.

If any of that rings a bell, gimme a shout! If it doesn't... I dunno. Tell me a weird story about whatever planet you came from. We'll make it a whole thing.

[ Thumbs up. It can't be just her who's from Terra, right?

Right?? ]

In my experience, 'Terra' is not an uncommon term for civilizations to use to describe their concept of 'the world.' However, the specifics that you mentioned are unfamiliar to me... Are you okay over there? Catastrophes sound awful... Do you need anything?

[... oh right! Sharing his own info. Hm.]

For me... In the world that I was born in, 'thank you' is a form of currency! That doesn't seem to work here.

[socialchameleon]

Sounds like you could just print your own money that way. In my experience, a kind word and a dollar nets you one dollar.

[Ah, capitalism.]

As for the Catastrophes, sure, it's not great, but that's why they mobilized cities. That way, when it starts raining meteors, you can just leave.

[spacialeyes]

Something like that... With how easy it is to produce magic to make miracles there, 'money' eventually phased out. I don't think that my little sister has even seen it before.

[He nods slowly in understanding. 'Raining meteors' is sort of a concerning example, but he's sincerely impressed by how society evolved.]

Wow, that's amazing... The living are so creative and stubborn when it comes to staying alive, huh? You must be pretty amazing yourself.

[socialchameleon]

We do our humble best to stay alive, because the alternative is worse.

...No offense. Are you a ghost?

[spacialeyes]

I suppose so. But you'd be saddened to hear how many societies don't have that attitude...

Au? Umm... [thinking politely, seriously considering the question-] Wait, no! That's not something to think twice about. The answer is 'no!' I'm not dead yet either!

[socialchameleon]

Oh, okay! The way you said "the living" made me think you were talking about us as an outsider. So, a ghost or something.

[spacialeyes]

I apologize. That's my fault for causing a misunderstanding!

Nope, I'm completely normal! Absolutely normal. I just think people are neat! [He's really selling his normalcy here!]

And I apologize if this is overstepping, but I hope that you're able to relax in this world..?

[socialchameleon]

Hopefully not too much. If nothing's keeping me on my toes at all, I'm gonna get bored.

[ She needs plenty of enrichment in her enclosure. ]

[spacialeyes]

You'll get bored..?

If you don't mind my asking, um. What do you consider to be entertainment?

[socialchameleon]

A life of adventure, peril and romance! Reward isn't all that satisfying without the risk.

[spacialeyes]

So like a storybook hero..?

Is that how you live back home too? [So cool..!]

[socialchameleon]

You could say that... I guess it depends on who you ask. [ You could also say she's a fugitive from the law in multiple countries. ]

[spacialeyes]

Can I ask you then..?

You probably know yourself better than anyone else, right?

[socialchameleon]

If you ask me, I'm a sexy, mysterious vagabond living a life of mystery and romance, staying one step ahead of the law as I fight, steal, and seduce my way across the land.

[spacialeyes]

[The pink in Yuuto's eyes seems to sparkle with delight at this description. There's no doubt in his eyes that all of this is true. After all! No one would lie to him on the internet.]

That's amazing! It's such an amazing honor to meet someone so cool! You said that your name was Ms Sarajevo, right? My name is Yuuto!

[socialchameleon]

Finally, someone appreciates my work! If more people saw me like that, I bet I'd spend a lot less time getting chased by cops.

[spacialeyes]

Yes, that does sound like a problem! I hope you're able to reach an understanding with them. I can't imagine you've done anything to deserve such treatment.
