Sixth Reel: Trust [Video]

[redcinemareel]

Answer me something, won't you?

[Grell appears, wearing a red leather jacket and black mini-dress while walking out on the streets of Nova City.]

Why do new arrivals feel the urgent need to tell their life story to a bunch of strangers? Even in the previous world, most make this mistake!

[She shakes her head with a bit of an eye roll.]

Yes, I can understand that you're looking for those familiar to you, but isn't your face and voice enough? Honestly, most of you lot are far too trusting in an unfamiliar world, along with not being very good at ambiguity!

So, enlighten me, hmm?

[The feed ends, but not before some people try to get their five seconds of fame behind her.]

BECAUSE THEY'RE DUMB!

[Katze, ladies and gentlemen.]

Didya see that one video about that so-called 'prince' of whatever land? Like geez, man! You humans are such saps! Such easy prey.

[The magenta nightmare actually looks decent today in a simple black leather dress and a nice white shirt. Seems that Katze been raiding the boutiques again.]

Easy, easy!

[redcinemareel]

I see no lies in that statement. [Humans are usually dumb, yep.]

Yes, I did.It's a shame they don't have much foresight.

[Pauses briefly]

A shame for them, that is.

[She notices the outfit, and approves.]

Finally out of that mess, I see.

[bergkatze]

Ack! Stop hating on my costume! You're just jealous cause it had purple kitty ears!

[Don't you start with him, Red! Not to today, fashion satan.]

Hey, I bet half these people who make these videos are like...totally dead by now! How can something so dumb live, right? They all should be dead.

[Evil chuckle ensues.]

[fierybluebird]

I looked for you and Pinkie and Namur and the rest of my family first.

[redcinemareel]

....thank you very much! [WINKS]

[Because he can do no wrong!! <3]

[HEART WITH HIS HANDS.]

My point is, don't be too hard on others for doing so too, babe. I'm sure they have their reasons.

[creativedifferences]

Well then let me ask you a question. How would you prefer for newbies to make their debut?

[Ibuki isn't even all that guilty of this but she tends to be an outlier anyway. Doesn't mean she's not curious.]

video;

[redcinemareel]

It would behoove them to ask for advice on how to get by, or about the current situation of this world. Or the best clothing store!

video;

[creativedifferences]

Oh. Then Ibuki qualifies, phew!

[Well, sort of. She'd asked where to find clothes, at least.]

Then again, Hologram-chan does a pretty good job at explaining things. Maybe they feel like they don't need to ask.

[despairing_hope]

Probably a need to feel connected to others in a world they're disconnected from. Hope in others and a feeling of closeness.

Though, some of them might be doing it so they can lie, so you think you know them but you don't. There are probably people like that.

Personally I can't imagine telling some random person everything about me. But, at the same time there's plenty of things I don't mind talking about if they come up.

Video

[redcinemareel]

They may run into someone they shouldn't trust.

[Isn't that how so many other people got killed not long ago?]

Oh? What sort of things are you willing to share with strangers? I wonder if it would apply to others.

Video

[despairing_hope]

Well, I guess they just have to find out if they're lucky or not in that regard.

[Though, wasn't believing in someone worth more than suspecting them from the start?]

It depends on the conversation topic and the other person. I suppose topics like, where I was before here, and my own personal talent are things I don't have a reason to hide.

[shy_mage]

[He had mulled over it for a bit. He wasn't the type to watch a lot of new introductions, so he didn't really know of any problems with them. But, he took Grell's word for it, and thought long and hard about why someone new would tell people all about themselves.]

...M-Maybe they're sad and need s... someone to talk to?

[Video]

[redcinemareel]

[Aww, it's the cute fluffball!]

Sadness... [She could understand that. Doesn't mean she thinks it's logical.] Usually most who are sad just eat many sweets.

[Video]

[shy_mage]

R-Really? When... When I get sad, I cry.

People aren't the most logical when panicking.

[redcinemareel]

You mean a lot less logical.|

*Sonico looks like she's still thinking about it before she replies*

I suppose...people feel as though they might make more friends more quickly that way. Perhaps they are looking for people who can identify with their life...

*Because she remembers her own introduction, asking a way to university but not revealing much about her life*

[video]

[redcinemareel]

I don't know if I'd want to be friends with someone so transparent.

[Or she would, if they could be easily manipulated. But it would get boring if things didn't get juicy.]

[video]

[sonicosuper]

But that's okay. We all can't be friends with everyone.

*Which is kind of a lame excuse she used back home to justify having no friends*

[orangeoutlaw]

Wow your boobs look really nice.

[he's amazed every time he sees them]

video

[fierybluebird]

I know, right? You should see her legs.

[But don't touch.]

[unhappy]

Easy: They don't actually know how to make friends without spilling their guts and have a kind of happy-go-lucky attitude that's blind to the world that makes them think all strangers are giving them free candy without ulterior motives.

video;

[redcinemareel]

...those are the most annoying sorts I'd wish to avoid.

[It sounds too wholesome for her liking!]

I should go back and find those names and faces, and add them to a list.
