[How... uninteresting. It's another shot of the Inn, but this time, there's a laptop in view with a cricket leaning against the screen, and a shaggy brown dog sleeping on the bed in the background.

A teenager with white hair and black roots sits down in shot, and waves a bit shyly.]


Hey, um. I'm Carlos, just got here, and I have a question. Does anyone have a Camelot in their world that's super different than this one? Archimedes back home is an owl, and Merlin has a long white beard and tends to whine about not getting to use magic enough.

Also... has anyone heard of Auradon? Just checking.

[The cricket makes a comment that can't really be heard, and Carlos sighs.]

Yes, Pongo, I know I should ask about school. I'll get there.

[The video doesn't show Azul at all for a minute or two, instead clearly being a pre-recorded tour of a very nice looking restaurant with some royalty free music (Azul absolutely paid someone to film this nonsense).

Eventually the pre-recorded stuff stops and we cut to Azul at a desk in what is likely the office of the restaurant. He's smiling, quite proud.]


You'll have to forgive the amateur intro video, that's never been my forte. Hopefully that won't turn anyone away from coming to visit my establishment once we officially open at the end of this month or early next month. Golden Silence is a fine dining establishment with a focus on atmosphere, live music, and excellent cooking. There is a business casual dress code, though this can change depending on events we're hosting.

[Right. Time to talk about that.]

Such as our first one, to be held the weekend we open! We're all outsiders here and I know it's not always easy making connections in a new world, so to help with that we will be hosting...a speed dating event.

[The silliest idea, and yet here we are.]

Thank you for your time.

[And the video cuts out to another short little thing, advertising the Speed Dating and also that Azul is hiring.]

[This video must have been recorded earlier and taken a while for Gokudera to decide to post it. He's sitting in his attic apartment by a window, a leopard sleeping on a couch behind him, an open book in front of him, pencil in hand, and mug full of something steaming before him.]

Before I begin: Emet, thank you. The potion's working.

[Gokudera takes a small sip of his coffee? tea? looks like he's enjoying some peace. The glasses on his face fog from the drink and he sighs before fidgeting with his pen.]

There is something I've noticed about going from world to world... humans are so focused on finding out their purpose. The meaning of their lives. They're born wondering why they exist at all in most cases. How true is that for you? Does everyone wonder what the meaning of life is?

[Gokudera is visibly more well than any point in at least the last three months, still wearing his collar but looking a little less gaunt. He sets down the pen and chews on a stick of licorice root.]

Maybe I'm just having an existential crisis or something

But no one I've ever really spoken to in any of the three worlds I've been on has parents who were off-worlders. This is just one stop and we arrive with an objective.

It makes me wonder. Are there probably people who want to know what they're working with rather than against? That are in favor of the Calamity for chaos' sake? Who are sick of just doing what they're told?

I'm not saying I am, and I'm not looking for an argument or a debate. I'm just curious if anyone feels that way? Who isn't looking out for the safety of their home world? Why?

[He leaves the camera on for at least a minute of silence while he writes.]

Just trying to gain some new perspectives...

[The leopard behind him (very real and in that odd stage between cub and adult), gets up and approaches so much that it's no longer in frame, but growls and a paw can be seen swatting before the feed is cut off.]
