•||• 1st Rain [ video - un: hopeful ]
[ The young woman that appears on the screen (filming from a park, it seems) seems pretty calm (and probably 4-5 years older than she did last time she appeared here). It's been a few days since some of the new arrivals turned up, so she may be late to the party, but there's a reason. Katara has some practice at this, and she's ready with her questions. She looks a little bit tired, but she's smiling politely. ]
Hello to anyone watching this right now. My name is Katara, and I'm one of the new arrivals. I just have a few questions I'd like to ask.
[ She pauses, consideringly, then frowns and brings a hand to her chin thoughtfully. ]
Some of them are going to sound pretty strange, so please bear with me, but... Here goes... My first question is: Have I been here before?
[ It doesn't appear that she's joking in the slightest, looking calmly into the camera. ]
My next question is: Are there any... strange catches about living here? Or- maybe useful things I should know that might not have already been recently addressed? Anything weird about the moons-- [ And here she waves a hand Jazz Hands style for emphasis. ] --or any taboos to avoid angering the locals or gods? ARE there gods here?
[ She looks surprisingly calm for someone asking all these questions, though her expressions do shift accordingly because let's be honest, even she knows how absurd this would sound if none of the above weirdness applies. Her smile turns a bit apologetic then. ]
Anyway, sorry. Thanks in advance!
(ooc: Feel free to have characters come across Katara from where she's filming in the park, too!)

[Which is the Chinese equivalent of saying he's a bit of a homebody.]
I wouldn't mind having you over for tea at the home I share with two others. But if you'd prefer there are some places I've heard about.
[Mostly from other people.]
Would you like to move this to a log? I'm also fine keeping it here!
[ She's nothing if not polite, or she tries to be. ]
If you're sure you don't mind, I'd love some tea.
[ It's a little bit colder and she's a bit underdressed for the weather since she's dressed for summer, even with her having grown up in the South Pole. ]
I'm fine with either! I don't have a catch al for this month yet so here might be easier.
[And then he sends the address which will lead to a little cottage just a little outside the busiest part of the city with a well kept garden which has a small vegetable patch started...there also was a small spiny plant with fruits on it that somewhat resembled chicken eggs. And...there is a doll house in the yard. There's no clear reason for it to be there but if someone paid attention they might notice something flitting around inside it.]
\o That works!
[ Another friendly smile, and not long afterward (giving time for him to say anything else he'd like to add) she ends the feed.
Now, never let it be said that Katara is one to ignore etiquette. She doesn't have much of her own here yet, but she does have some money, so she makes her way into town for a pit stop to grab some simple dessert that might be a good compliment for tea, a small cake. It's a gamble since she's not sure what sort of flavors her host likes, but it feels better than turning up empty-handed.
The cottage is surprisingly natural for being so close to downtown Camelot, but in her mind, that adds to the charm. Removed, but near enough to still feel like an oasis from the city's buzz. She's approaching the front entrance when the dollhouse catches her attention and slowly her footsteps come to a stop.
Did... she just see that? ]

Inside the house, Li Min was alerted to someone arriving when the little plant pot he'd recently gotten from the Elphame traders wandered over to the door.
So he took the kettle off the stove, before heading over to the door and opening it.]
Oh, you're here.
