[The video feed opens to a blurry shot of Rinea's porch as she turns it on, then sits back a proper distance with a smile. She has managed to center the camera properly this time: no ceiling shots or fingers covering the lens. She practiced! (Still, she looks a bit nervous.)]

Um.. Good day. My name is Rinea! I have a request to make. It's a bit silly, but I would be very happy for assistance nonetheless.

The truth is... I have been residing in Camelot for some time now, but am still unused to using... the internet. [Blush.] It seems a very vital skill to have, to keep abreast of the news! I've missed many an important post on local dangers! But I've still had trouble with checking regularly.

So-- would anyone be interested in exchanging letters, as conversational partners? I believe the term is "pen pals." I would enjoy befriending more of my fellow Avalon otherworlders... and I think having messages to look forward to will make it easier for me to remember to check the phone.

[A hah hah hah. Embarrassing. But still-- she will soldier on!!!]

I will gladly chat about anything, of course! But as for myself, topics I can speak upon include dancing and embroidery. I also spend much of my time honing my alchemy and potionmaking skills-- I would be very happy to share what I have learned there. I also admire gardens and their wildlife, but I have little experience in their cultivation... Oh, and music, as well. You know, the music of Avalon is so varied compared to home, it's a little overwhelming!

[Remembering herself, Rinea inclines her head shyly at the camera.]

Um-- Thank you for listening. I very much look forward to meeting anyone interested!

[ JJ appears on camera, wearing a bright smile and... not much else. He's wearing exclusively his small pair of shorts. In the background is a pole. God knows where the guy found it. But, that will come into play in a little bit. He shuffles for a moment, and decides for a second to be curteous to put on a tank top to go with the rest of the outfit. He'll shift back towards the camera. ]

Sorry about that - It's been awhile - hello~

[ A wide smile. ]

To people who are newer here and who have been here awhile. I'm JJ.

I have a question for all of you, or something to think about. Being in places like this, sometimes there's no obligations like at home. So I want to know -- are there things you still want to learn while you're here? Have you already learned something? What is it that you want to learn?

Where I was before, I wanted to find something new to do, and ended up learning how to pole dance, well, and ballroom dance. But since I don't have a partner here today --

[ And that's when he stands, and shifts towards the pole. He carries the camera with him and positions it somewhere else so there's a nicer view of it. He places both of his hands on the pole and positions himself carefully and works into the first positon. He holds it there for a few moments, then shifts to the ground to change and move into the Butterfly. Only a couple moves for now because to be honest, he'd rather be chatting away. ]

It's totally worth taking up something new. And I guess I should say -- if anyone wants to learn to do a few things here - I'd be happy to show you the ropes.

The name's Morgan, and something on that anon post caught my eye. A question about staying here, rather than going home. If it's possible. If it's okay.

I don't know about Avalon. It's possible when all this ends, Avalon won't exist any more, because its purpose was served. But I can say this: if anyone doesn't want to go home, I will find a place for you. No one should have to go back to a world where they'll be mistreated, or miserable, or end up dying in days, or whatever your circumstance that means you're happier being here than there.

I live on a nexus world, a place where a lot of worlds and universes overlap and connect. Sort of like Avalon itself. It's not a paradise, it's far from perfect, but it's somewhere you can go if you want. I'll find a way to make that happen for damn sure. A ritual performed here, I hope, at the end of the last day. And if that doesn't work... I have some friends and family to whom nothing is a barrier that can't be overcome, and we will find a way to get you away. There or elsewhere.

It isn't fair that anyone should be drawn here to save everything, then sent back home without a second thought to what might happen. And if your response to that is, 'well, life's not fair', I'll make it fair.

Don't be afraid to relax, to hope, to enjoy yourself here. Life's too short for that. But... I'll also take any help anyone's offering to make this vow of mine come true.

[Morgan chuckles a little awkwardly, before shrugging and ending the message.]
