[The image turns on, showing a white-haired young woman adjusting the camera on her smart phone, just out of frame before making it center finally on her before speaking.]

This would be a lot easier if you could help me, you know.

[A caw can be heard from off-screen, presumably from the girl's familiar. She sighs before continuing.]

Alright, so. I guess I'm new here, and I'm... trying to figure out what to do with myself. I've gotten settled in, but does anyone have any idea what to do next? I mean, there's those quests, but some of them seem kinda... completely fucking crazy?

[Another sigh.]

And I guess I should also try to get a handle on this magic thing, right? I've apparently got elemental magic. All of this sounds nuts, but I guess I should try and figure out how to deal with it.

Just. Yeah. Any help or advice would be appreciated.

[Caaaaaw!]

What?! Come on, what are you- oh. I guess I should introduce myself. [She suddenly appears more nervous than before.] My name's Chris. Chris Yukine.

Chris is that really you?

[ Elfnein is just blinking in surprise. ]

Re: video

[trustheart]

[Chris's shock and surprise is immediate.]

Eh? Elfnein?! You're here?!

[alchemists]

I've been here for over a month now, though I don't know if everyone back home has noticed or there is something else going on...

[trustheart]

Over a month?! But you've been around where I've been! I saw you just the other day!

[alchemists]

I'm assuming that the powers that brought us here are doing something so the others back home don't notice?

Greetings, Lady Chris. We met on the caravan.

[ It was a terrible, depressing, awkward moment for them both. ]

You need not feel so rushed, I think. Or, mayhaps, you are better used to a more rigorous schedule for yourself?

[trustheart]

Hey, you don't need to call me Lady or nothing! I'm not important enough for something like that!

[She pauses at the woman's advice. When had she become someone who had a "rigorous schedule"? Sure, she'd always made sure to study, and there'd been all that training with S.O.N.G.

Was the old man rubbing off on her?! That was a terrifying thought.]

I just wanna make sure I don't fall behind! What about you? Are you okay? Doing any better?

[ofnovalue]

I apologize, my lady, tis not really a matter of your station, simply propriety on my part. Twould not be maidenly of me to treat your name so casually.

[trustheart]

[Oh, so that's how it is.]

... No, I guess you shouldn't. But uh. Could you use my last name, instead? Where I come from, first names are for good friends and family members and stuff. So "Lady Yukine" would be fine, I think.

[ofnovalue]

Lady Yukine, then. Well met.

In response to what you asked before, you would be pleased to know I am well. My knight, Ser Agrias, is here, and already I feel my mood lifted.

You should get yourself a stand. For yer phone, I mean; they've got ones you can get for just a little pocket change.
Your familiar might not be too reliable if it's already messin' with you like that, so a stand would probably help you out a lot.

[... Of course, she's just speaking from her tiny creature training experience.
Understandably, her Morgrem familiar will never get to hold her phone as long as she can help it.]

[trustheart]

Oh, he wasn't holdin' it for me, he was just... yeah, like you said. Messing with me. I don't think he could hold it even if I wanted him to.

Still, a stand is pretty good advice. I'll look into that!

[ oh hey alisaie knows this girl!! ]

I've gotten elemental magic as well, and it's quite similar to what I was used to at home, so if you would like any assistance I should be happy to help.

[trustheart]

Oh, hey again.

Really? That'd actually be pretty helpful. I've only managed a small flame so far.

[fearlessly]

That's still a good start, especially if you've never used anything like it before. And.. probably for the better not to be generating enormous fireballs right away, anyroad.

[trustheart]

I've dealt with some pretty powerful stuff in my own world, but you're probably right. This is a whole new powerset.

[fearlessly]

Aye, well I'm happy to help, insomuch as I can, at least. It is familiar to me, but I'm still coming to grips with it myself.

[impostorsyndrome]

You get any good advice yet?

I'll be upfront, I'm just piggybacking off you. I have no idea what the fuck to do with any of this myself. Just glad to see someone else asking.

[trustheart]

[Behind her phone, Chris arches an eyebrow. She frowns, and decides to answer honestly.]

A lot of what we're talking about has just started, so I'm not sure what I can tell you, yet.

[impostorsyndrome]

Yeah, that's fair. Just curious. ...Maybe I'll do my own work later instead of just asking you.

You aren't wrong about those quests. It seems insane to just jump into some of that crap to pass the time.

[trustheart]

There's nothing stopping you from asking, like I did.

It's not about passing time. It's just that some of them seem ridiculous, or downright awful. I'm not afraid to work to get ahead here, but I don't want to do it by messing with people's emotions or hurting them!

[Mikasa still hasn't decided on a username, at this rate maybe she'll always just leave it empty or go with something like mikasa or redscarf... Hmm.

Well anyway, hello white haired woman, meet a gloomy girl, whose black hair is long these days.]

Get to know places, find a job or learn to ride a horse if you don't know how to do that already. If you do, well, riding around isn't bad use of time either. Just a few ideas, there's probably a lot more to do too.

The quests aren't always as crazy as they seem to be this month. And yes, try to learn handling your magic.

Re: video

[trustheart]

[Chris's eyes widen in surprise.]

Mikasa?! Is that you?

[callyourname]

[Mikasa looks surprised with eyes widening too. She's used to being someone, who never forgets anything or anyone but obviously she doesn't recognize her at all and she's not used to being on this side of things.]

How do you know my name?

[trustheart]

You don't remember when your world converged with mine? Us fighting Titans together on that island? Us helping you get home...?
