[Nagito can be seen somewhere outside, based on the background it was most likely a cafe.]

Ah! There it goes. That wasn't hard at all.

[For a new arival he was pretty laid back and relaxed about it all.]

I think I have a good idea of what's going on, but I hope no one minds if I still ask a few questions of everyone.

[He shifted his arms to position the phone a bit better.]

From what I understand everyone with one of these, [He uses his free hand to lift the pendent up. His was mostly yellow with flecks of blue and red in it.] is "real" and abducted to this world. That's quite amazing when you think about it! I never expected in my whole life to experience such a fantasy like event.

But, moving on. I was curious about everyone else here. What sorts of places and states did you come from? Also, how do you feel about this place? Is there a motive behind being here? Surely there is a purpose, otherwise why go through the trouble? It must be a lot of trouble to punch a hole through to another world as well, so there must be some sort of goal involved.

Ah, but don't worry if you don't know, I'm mostly just talking to myself.

Oh, I suppose I should introduce myself. My name is Komaeda Nagito, I look forward to meeting and speaking fellow abductees.

[He smiled softly and raised a hand in a friendly wave.]

*Sonico would have much preferred to do this by text only, but she figures that if she's offering her image as a way of making money then it's only fair that clients get to see what they're paying for. The video is therefore taken at a slightly awkward angle as Sonico does her best to show her face and her upper body*

Hello everyone, Sonico here!~ Before I start with the main part of this message I wanted to thank everyone I've met recently. You've all been very kind and helpful, and I feel much more settled here now. Thank you.

 

*After that, it's time for the main message. Used to her manager doing all the PR work and communications for her, this is quite a new thing for Sonico but she does her best not to let the awkwardness show so that she can give a good impression*

Today I'm letting you all know that I offer part-time modelling work, and I'd love to get started here in Genessia. Back home, I have a large portfolio of work as I have taken part in many different kinds of modelling work. So far I have experience in magazine picture spreads, single photo shoots, advertising, and I've also made appearances at conventions and events.

If you'd like me to help with work of this kind, please feel free to get in touch. If you think of something in future, you can contact me directly via the device, or you might prefer to see me in person at the Bright Sky Diner.

I look forward to working with you!

*To conclude, Sonico gives a warm smile and a soft bow of the head*

[Action Option - Come find her at the Bright Sky Diner if you so desire! She'll be there in super cute waitressing gear!]
 

[The screen fuzzes a little and is out of focus before Steven appears]

Uhh... Is this thing on? Can you hear me? [rubs the back of his head] I'mmm gonna assume you can hear me. So, I saw your presentation and everything but I can't say I understand all of it... Not that it wasn't really good it's just when weird things happen to me it's...

not quite this weird.

[coughs into his hand]

Annyway the point is I was wondering if anyone saw my friends. Garnet, Amethyst and Pearl! I've drawn pictures of them...

[there's a shift of the camera and he points it at the sand where there are awkward but reasonably good drawings of them]

Ooor Peridot or Lapis. Or a warp pad [more drawings]

[the camera focuses back on him]

Or my lion... That didn't turn out so well but he looks like, you know, a lion. Only he's pink and very friendly.

[nod nod]


If you have let me know. If not uh... hi... I'm...Steven I guess.

( when everything's made to be broken, I just want you to know who I am )

a; video

[The video feed comes on and the face of a young woman appears. She has red eyes and long black hair that falls over her shoulders. Her brows are knitted in concern and a frown pulls down on her lips. She's currently seated on a bench, grass and trees making a slight appearance behind her when she moves her head. After seeing the welcoming video Tifa had needed a moment to collect herself and her thoughts before attempting to contact anyone.

But the thought that Denzel and Marlene-her children-could be around here somewhere and not know where she is gives her the resolve to try and use her device. With the help of the instruction manual it's easy enough.]

Hello. I'm not quite sure who all is seeing this, but whoever you are I need some help. I'm looking for two children, a ten year old boy and a six year old girl. Their names are Denzel and Marlene. I understand that they may not have been brought here with me, but I'm their guardian so I need to be sure. If anyone sees them can you please tell them that I'm here. My name is Tifa. I'll be staying in Genessia for at least a couple of days.

[She hesitates for a moment, as if she's going to say more, before shaking her head.]

Thank you. [The feed clicks off.]

b; thud's gym

[After a few hours of wandering the city and double and triple checking her phone in case she hears from the kids or from someone who has seen them, Tifa finds herself heading into the first gym she comes across. It might not be wise to be spending any of the money she found upon arrival before first finding a job, but the need to punch out her frustrations has been growing since she woke up here. If she could drain some of her anxious energy by beating the crap out of a bag it would be money well spent.

Wrapping up her hands she immediately sets into punching the bag with fast, vicious strikes. Occasionally she'll toss in some kicks that are as equally powerful as her fists. Anyone watching would be able to instantly tell that she's in her element.]

c; jack's bar and karaoke club

[The early evening will find Tifa settled on a stool at the bar, a shot of bourbon sitting before her. Despite having been a bartender for several years she's not usually much of a drinker. But the events of the day have more than called for a drink or three. The atmosphere of the bar is familiar, nearly homely to her as she discreetly watches the clientele and listens to the karaoke participants.

But no matter how familiar it feels, there's a sense of sadness that lingers over her. This isn't home. This isn't Seventh Heaven. Her family isn't here.]
