[Action]

[At the entrance to the Bay, a new arrival can be seen. He is clearly from a medieval fantasy realm, as he is clad in ornate black armor. Those familiar with suits of armor will recognize it as cavalier's armor. Additionally, held tight in his right hand is a jet-black longsword covered in a faint red glow, and whenever the sword moves through the air, it leaves behind trails of energy that make it look like it has been set aflame. He wears a stern expression on his face. He does not know what is going on here, and he is being very cautious.

As he looks around, he sets off the recorded message. After the initial surprise wears off, he begins to listen intently, albeit with a bemused expression on his face.

Clearly whomever made this has had to deal with a lot of unnecessary headaches for doing so. Xander would probably chuckle if he were not in such an alien situation.

The message ends, and he begins to look at the information available in the nearby kiosk. For this, he sheathes his sword so that he is not stuck flipping through literature with just one hand. Once he has read everything to his heart's content, he leaves the area and makes his way toward the Welcoming Center to learn more about this realm.

He can be approached at any point between the Bay and the Welcoming Center, or at either one.]

[The camera shows the new arrival. He still has a stern expression on his face, but he seems less on edge than he did shortly after arriving. Judging by the surroundings visible on camera, he has found himself in the housing for newcomers.]

So, by using this device, we can communicate with the rest of the Outrealm population here, regardless of where any of us are? This is fascinating. Whomever is responsible for creating these must know some very powerful magic.

However, that isn't what I am making this message for. Allow me to introduce myself: my name is Xander, and I am the crown prince of the kingdom of Nohr. The first matter I would like to attend to is thus: has anybody here come from the same realm as I? If the name of my homeland means anything to you, or the name "Hoshido," then I request that you contact me as soon as you are able.

The second matter I would like to inquire about is about our situation and its connection to our homes. I am already aware that there is no reliable, controlled way to return home from here. However, is there a way to check in on how our homes are doing? I'm sure it goes without saying, but I have a vested interest in what may or may not be happening in my absence. I do not want to return home and find my land in ruins.

[He then stops speaking just long enough to bow his head toward the camera.]

That is all. I thank you for your time, and I hope you will address my inquiries.

[The recording ends.]

[ The network shows the image of a stunning, lovely young lady with silver hair and red eyes, smiling demurely into the feed. She allows a moment to settle herself before she addresses the network as a whole. ]

Good day to you all. My name is Tiara. I have unfortunately been a captive - no, resident, of this place for some time, however, I have until now been quite busy. But I will not take up more of your time than is necessary, therefore I will get right to the point.

I would like to offer the services of my manservant to you for a perfectly reasonable fee. He may appear sloppy and lazy but I can assure you, he is quite competent and strong, particularly in battle. However, I will permit a broader use of his abilities, if you require a cook, a babysitter, a janitor, bartender or any other menial task I will be more than happy to accept. Of course these are not the only positions - one cannot be a jack of all trades if they confine themselves to a mere handleful of positions. If you have need of something for a task I did not mention, and you would like to accept my offer, please contact me and we can discuss the details.

[ And she will be more than happy to accept ..that money. Working at Sun's bounty hunter place was fine, but this was different! ]
