[Satou is still standing in front of the holographic introduction when she switches her device on. A few things were made clear to her right away: This place has a concept of 'most powerful' and, very likely, an understanding of magic. So she shows no shame with her magic during the video.]

Good day, everyone. I'm guessing there must be a lot of people here like me, if you'd set up so many resources for us. [Her school uniform glows pink, then changes into a warm, black peacoat. The brunette taps the new necklace to her neck and creates a stylish choker for it to attach to. Her hand is shaking, but she wants to make her magic obvious.]

My name is Satou Kuroneko. I-I'm a witch. [Said as if to defend herself. She lets the camera sweep over a girlish pink staff, before continuing in as firm a voice as she can manage.] I'm not here to pick fights, so please don't start any. Um... Mikale. Shugo. Y-You're here, right? Or uh. I-I mean... H-How do I check if someone I know is here? Or, uh... um...

[Her attempt to introduce herself bravely is already faltering. Satou turns the camera back to her wand so she can wipe away her tears. Back to looking tough and calm..!]

I-I can help. My magic can be useful. I-I hope to b-be... um... nngh... What do I do...?

[action]
[The petite witch can later be found wandering the city, her wand now hidden from sight. As much as she wants to be a tough cookie who can be relied on, some might notice this kid occasionally stop to wipe her eyes and whimper into her palm.]

I'm all alone again... Mikky... Sh-Shooees... Dummieesss.

!!! So you're a witch-- or, well. Magic user?

I'm the Witch of Sins. Do you know how I can contact the MASQ about getting home?

[erinoah]

Those names mean nothing to me. And probably shouldn't mean anything to you either. You're not even on the same planet, let alone the same continent, as those names you mentioned.

Find a new boss to kiss up to. It's how you earn a living around here anyway.

[priceofmagic]

I kind of figured. Doesn't make them any less valuable.

[She shakes her head. Since stranger has basically confirmed not to be the same kind of witch as her, Satou decides not to talk too much about her own magic.]

As long as we're giving advice. You should do something about your attitude.

[erinoah]

My attitude?

Hee~ guess you have a little spunk after all.

You can call me Noah. I'm a being from a place called Rabi Rabi Island.

[priceofmagic]

Rabi Rabi Island, huh?

Well, my name is Satou. You already know that, but you're welcome to use it... Though, I get the feeling formalities aren't your style, huh?

Nice to meet you anyway, Noah-san.

[erinoah]

It used to be. Doesn't suit me anymore.

[priceofmagic]

Well, to be fair... They don't suit anyone. They can be kind of stuffy and just build walls.

[She gives the screen a determined look.] I won't put up stuffy walls with you if you take 'em down for me. Fair?

[erinoah]

Hmph.

[ Noah's lips upturn in a faint smile. ]

Fair.

[priceofmagic]

Good. I'm glad we agree.

Now then. I need to figure out where our housing here is. Any thoughts on how to get a job around here?

[erinoah]

There's a job board in Genessia City. Might be one in each of the other four places. Fayren in particular has jobs attuned to magic.

[priceofmagic]

Fayren, huh? I remember hearing about the other four places...

But just because a place is attuned to magic doesn't mean it's where I'm needed. My powers are pretty flexible, so I could probably be useful just about anywhere.

Where do you live, if you don't mind my asking?

[erinoah]

Hmph, true. Genessia is mostly flexible enough. There's no outright ban, but I hear Attleton is less adjusted to magic than the other cities.

I live in a little camp in Fayren, with my bunnies.

[priceofmagic]

BUNNIES----

[ahem]

Y-Yes. So maybe I should look at Attleton first. They might be accidentally vulnerable, you know? And I'm used to working with some degree of secrecy... Though. Fayren is such a nice word.

[erinoah]

Hehehehehe, that's right, bunnies are the greatest!

[ At those words, the two bunny Pokemon next to her perk up. They look amused. As for Noah herself, she's now feeling much better about the fate of bunnies than she did when she got here. ]

A-anyway, you can look at Attleton or Fayren, whatever you want.

[priceofmagic]

I think that I will. Thank you so much!

I'll let you know when I have a job and somewhere to live... Maybe I can buy you cake to celebrate! You've been so nice.

[erinoah]

I seem to get that a lot lately.

[ Before Noah got here, she wasn't used to people calling her nice. ]

Make it a carrot cake and we have a deal.

[priceofmagic]

Deal! Carrot cake it is! Ehehe.

Can't wait to talk to you again, Noah~! Say hello to your bunnies!
