[video/backdated to March 2nd]

Good evening.

[ Augusta seems a bit more stressed than normal here, but she's certainly polite. ]

Assistance may be required - or advice, at the very least. I'm not sure how many of you have noticed, considering Attleton is hardly frequented by visitors, but we seem to be having an, ah, situation with architecture change here.

Namely, there's a maze that has not been here before Sunday night.

[ She moves the camera a bit to show the walls outside her window. ]

Having been stuck in my home here for over 24 hours, I'd rather not be here indefinitely. If anybody has any ideas how to get out - or reverse this situation -, that would be much appreciated.

[ She's deemed wandering right into the maze unwise at least.Before she shuts down transmission, she can be heard grumbling something like 'to think I chose this city for being calm and harmless...' ]

A bodyguard? I can't refuse to protect someone so adorable. Maybe if you beg me enough, I'd be willing to help.

[ The offer, however irritatingly phrased, earns him a small smile. ]

I appreciate this, but are you sure you can make it through this maze safely?

[Emboldened by her smile, he scoffs, shooting her a smile.]

Don't be ridiculous. I'm an expert at these sort of things.

[Meaning hundreds of hours in dungeon runs. It's the same conceptually, right?]

No.

[ It's worth the effort to interfere]

W--What?! Why not?!

[He's trying to show off here.]

[ WELL. She had her doubts considering Mikoto had problems even leaving the Bay, but this interjection from whoever this is confirms her worries then. ]

I'm not sure who your friend is, but I'd rather not you get yourself in danger for my sake then.

He's Mayu-Mayu and he's...Nozaki's little brother and--

Nevermind that! [Now he's just getting embarrassed. And maybe just a tiny bit relieved. Being stuck alone in a maze didn't sound like much fun.]

Forget I offered! I didn't want to help you anyway, I'd be better off fighting monsters, or something actually dangerous! You...you're both so dumb!!!

[He clenches his eyes shut, upset.]

Mikoto-san, this isn't a video game. Don't break your promise.

[ The thought of Mikoto endangering himself really frightens Mayu.]

I'm sorry, Miss. He's solved mazes in simulations, but has no real combat experience.

[ It is nice to see Mikoto has people looking out for him here, Augusta notes. She gives a nod. ]

That is more experience than I have with situations like this, but it's not enough to warrant going into that thing, yes.

[ She's just going to entirely ignore Mikorin's insults here, deciding he doesn't mean it anyway. ]

My name is Augusta. I'm pleased to meet one of Mikoto's friends.

[Mayu remembers? Mikoto blushes, smiling uncertainly, getting flustered and stumbling over his words for an entirely different reason.]

Don't be an idiot. I never break a promise!

[He's not really happy Mayu brought up video games, but it's normal to play some amount of games, and it's not like he mentioned the ones that are really embarrassing, so he cheers up, and addresses the next part to Augusta.]

If you ever want to learn, I can teach you! One of the places I work at has simulations like that, and I could give you a discount if you visit.

[ Mikoto is delicate. He needs people looking out for him.]

I'll hold you to it.

[ Now he's worried about Mikoto throwing himself into danger to impress a pretty girl.]

Pleased to meet you, Augusta. I'm Mayu.

[ He nods back.]

I hope someone qualified to help notices your message.

Thank you.

[ You seem like a sensible person, Mayu. She's glad. As for you Mikoto... ]

Once I get out of here, I'd really be interested in seeing those simulations for myself. I trust your skill to explain to me fully.

[ Teasing or genuine? We just don't know. Introduce her to the world of video games, but be warned, she actually can get competitive. ]
