[David starts the video feed up, and he’s very clearly outside. He looks like he’s at the park.]

I know we have a bunch of new comers to this place, so I’ll introduce myself. I’m David Haller, Guardian of Genessia City. I’ll have been here for..two years come this September. Feels like much longer than that, really.

I have the business Holodeck’d in both Genessia City and Nova City. It’s basically a training simulator and it gives you one of the closest experiences to combat other than the real thing. The door to my office is always open [He looks around briefly.] if I’m in it.

If there is anything I can help with, let me know.

[Well it seems like all of the cities are in the grip of a heat wave. Two weeks of this, it’d be hell. Could be far worse, though. David was doing his best to help people get a reprieve from the heat. In the park, he’s gathered many of the ice cream, shaved iced, and whatever other frozen treat vendors. He has them all giving out free stuff to everyone.

Well, not really free. David was footing the bill for their services. Didn’t seem like such a bad trade to make people happy. He has small cup of ice cream in his hand himself. Even with the heat, it felt pretty heat to be out. He honestly didn’t feel like he got out as much as he used to. ]

[Tashigi greets the world with a smile. She's had some time to get comfortable with the device, and an introduction just seems proper. Especially now that she has a better idea of what she'd like to say. From the looks of it, Sycamore Cycles is in the background.]

Hello! My name is Tashigi, and I'm a recent arrival here. First, I'd like to give a warm thanks to Miss Schnee and the others who've done their best to help me understand the situation we're all in. Thank you very much for the help!

I haven't decided just what I want to do here, but after some recent advice, I've decided I want to learn as much as I can about this place. So, if you're in need of temporary help in a position, please let me know! Until I make my decision, I'm willing to work my hardest on any job that may arise. If you need to reach me in person, I'll likely be staying with V- [Whoops, there's no reason to pull rank here, is there? And she doesn't want to invite trouble with the pirates.]

... with Smoker until I become more acclimated.

[True to her word, Tashigi's exploring Genessia City to learn as much as she can. She can be found just about anywhere, smiling as she just tries to take it all in. She's not sure if it's considered rude to walk around with a weapon, but unless someone tells her so she's keeping her katana on her, just in case.]

[And if she can find a new store to supply her with her favored... colorful shirts? That's just a bonus.]

[She had arrived earlier and stumbled (and fumbled) her way to the common housing to find her room and privately freak out. First the war, now this strange new place and its technology. To be honest though, she's really spent most of her time trying her best to figure it all out so she wouldn't make quite such a fool of herself.

It's a little early into the evening, not quite night but still the sunset isn't entirely over with, when Hinata fumbles the video on just outside of the Genessia Commonspace. She does her best to smile.]

Hello, everyone. Um, I... I suppose it's the proper thing to do, introducing yourself when you first arrive here? So... So my name is Hinata, and I arrived earlier. I won't ask if...if there's a way to go home, since I figure we all would not be here if that was the case.

[Her smile fades, and she bites her lip.] Um, instead, since we are stuck here, how did... or does... everyone else become accustomed to this place? And, is there anything that wasn’t covered in the 'welcome' materials?

[And, of course, she's out and about on the streets, map in hand. She's walking, in order to get a better idea of the city and what stores are where. And definitely looking for a place to eat real food. Also hoping some of the shops (when open) sell some clothes that aren't military fatigues and flak jackets.]
