[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...?

[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.

Water...? Sure. I can control water. The air is full of moisture and I can move it from other locations, if I need to.

Is magic very common here?

[melodiouspacifist]

It's kind of the same as I'm used to?

[Kind of common, but she's speaking to a magical boy, so what does he know?]

Everyone I know has magic.

[priceofmagic]

Really? What kind of world do you live in?

Back home for me, magic is something you inherit in your blood. Not everyone has it anymore.

[melodiouspacifist]

I'm not really sure, but all of the Nobodies have an affinity of some kind.

[He waves his hand.]

[priceofmagic]

Nobodies..?

That's not a very nice thing to call someone, sir.

[melodiouspacifist]

I can't help it if that's what it's called. I didn't name us.

[He shrugs slightly.]

The Superior called us that.

[priceofmagic]

Well then...

When you're with me, I'm gonna call you something else! You can be... [Ugh, she has no idea. But she's set herself up for this and she feels her pride is on the line.] ... uh. Bodies, no... Buddies! No...

We can work on it!

[melodiouspacifist]

[He laughs slightly and shrugs at her.]

Just call me Demyx. That's fine. You don't have to worry about what I am so much.

[priceofmagic]

Hmm... If you're sure. Demyx-san is too nice a name not to use, after all.

Then you can just call me Satou! Like friends do.

[melodiouspacifist]

You think so? My Superior gave it to me.

[He grins.]

You wanna be my friend? Cool! I'm liking meeting new friends.

[priceofmagic]

A-Au. I mean-- Well! If you'll take me? I'd love to be friends... Oh gosh, I hope you aren't just saying that. I wasn't being too pushy?

[melodiouspacifist]

Yeah sure! [He grins.] Nah, not at all. Don't worry about that.

[priceofmagic]

Th-Then yes! Let's be friends!

That means if you need anything, you can call on me! Okay? I'll do my best for you from here on out!

[melodiouspacifist]

Awesome, let's be friends.

[He grins his agreement.]

And yeah, sure anytime. We'll hang out sometime!

[priceofmagic]

Deal!

So! What kinds of things do people do here? I know I need some sort of job, but I don't like sitting around doing paperwork aaaalll the time.

[melodiouspacifist]

I play sitar for tips. [He grins.] And Torchwood pays me for...I'm not sure what. Promotion or something? I dunno. Whatever. They pay me to play sitar too.
