[ 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?? ]

[lionsharing]

Well-- um.

[ She hesitates a moment before sitting back down again, expression sheepish. ]

... I don't really remember much, you see!

[socialchameleon]

[ Sarajevo perks up at that. A mystery! ]

Do you mean you have amnesia?

[lionsharing]

I guess so. I kinda have vague recollections, if I really think about it, but my head kind of hurts...? So it's fine if I don't. I don't think I really forgot anything that important, anyway.

[socialchameleon]

Well, if you think about it, that means you'll have a great time here! Why fret about going home if you don't remember home to begin with?

[lionsharing]

Oh, I-- I do remember home. A little, at least. I know mother would be worried for me... And I would miss gatherings...

I'm going to do my best to enjoy my time here, though! That's just sensible.

[socialchameleon]

That's it! A great way of thinking. If you're gonna be in a situation no matter what, you gotta enjoy the situation. Only fret about the parts you can do something about.

[lionsharing]

So-- for you...

[ A beat. ]

Ah. The way you spoke about your home sounded... a bit dire, though. So I assume you're not too unhappy to be here?

[socialchameleon]

Eh, it's what I'm used to. Getting caught in a Catastrophe is bad news, but that's why we have mobile cities. Just stay ahead of the disasters, and you're fine.

[ If you get left behind, or get exiled due to Oripathy quarantine... well, hey, hasn't happened to her yet. ]

This place seems great, though! It's probably too quiet for me to want to live here, but it'll make a nice vacation until this whole situation gets sorted out.

Also, a lot of the people here are super cute. [ Looking directly at Ash as she says that. ]

[lionsharing]

It sounds difficult, I'm sorry...

[ Well, she does fluster a bit, predictably. ]

-- I won't argue that. There's quite a lot of good looking folk here, even if they can't change shape...

[socialchameleon]

[ Sarajevo tries to keep it cool, but her tail perks up noticeably at that. ]

I didn't know you could change shape.

[lionsharing]

Of course I can! ... You can't?

[socialchameleon]

Nope! I look like this all the time. What can you turn into?

[lionsharing]

I see... How unusual.

I'm a sphinx, so just that, and the parts in between.

[socialchameleon]

...Can you show me?

[lionsharing]

Of course, if you'd like?

[ she gets up and steps away from the table-- the transformation is quick, a blink and you miss it sort of thing-- but after a moment she's on all fours and giving her fur a full-body shake. ]

[socialchameleon]

[ Applause! The transformation is a bit of an anticlimax because it's so fast, but her sphinx form is cool enough to make up for it. ]

Amazing! Ten out of ten stars!

[lionsharing]

[ Pleased, and sits back at the edge of the table, paws politely folded up on the edge of it. ]

Oh, thank you very much.
