[The video feed reveals Himawari sitting in an apartment she managed to require after she arrived. She appeared to be calm and smiling so that's a good thing so far.]

So if I am to assume the leaflet then I'm in a place called Genessia, correct? {She nods mostly to herself she twirls the thing in her hands a couple of times.]

I must admit, I am a little bit scared at being in a new place, but it can't be all that bad. It's like those people who start over in a new place. A new life and you can try and do things that you might not have done back home. At least that's how I see it. [She gives a little laugh.]

Anyway, it's nice to meet you. I'm Himawari Kunogi and I do hope we can get along.

You're pretty optimistic, aren't you? Though that's pretty much the same attitude I have..

[badluckcharm]

[She nods slightly.]

Honestly, this whole thing is a little nerving, but nothing has happened either, so why not at least try and be optimistic.

[tenminutes]

It's actually a pretty nice place from what I've seen, so you're not in the wrong attitude.

[badluckcharm]

Oh really. So what is this place like? Or was it more fun to look around and find out.

[tenminutes]

It's like a regular place plus some weird crap that happens sometimes. Oh, and dragons and Pokemon.

[badluckcharm]

Weird...crap? [Okay she wasn't use to that type of thing, except when it's around her, but it seemed like it was different here, especially at the mention of dragons and pokemon.]

Oh, so things from fairy tales are true here. I mean if you have dragons here. They didn't exactly exist back home.

[tenminutes]

I didn't have them back in my worlds either. Most people didn't, I think.

I'm Yuri. Feel free to call me that, or Yurippe.

[badluckcharm]

Okay Yuri, you can call me Himawari. I do hope we can get to know each other better.

[tenminutes]

We will!

[badluckcharm]

I guess I could ask how long have you been here for?

[tenminutes]

Not very long. I'd say almost three months now?

[badluckcharm]

Oh wow. That's still three months here.

[She impressed but worried at the same time. She knew her wish was granted and he was okay, but she couldn't help but still worry slightly.]

I guess here, I'd have to find some form of work, would you have any ideas?

[tenminutes]

Well, I'm a kindergarten teacher so really you can be anything if you have the right skill set for it.

[badluckcharm]

Currently, I don't think I have much in terms of skills. I'm still in high school back home after all. I'm still learning.

I just know what I'm not good at, so at least that narrows it down a bit.

[tenminutes]

I was in high school for like 500 years, I know the feeling.

[ No you weren't, Yuri. Probably. Honestly, she doesn't even know. It was just a while, and she stopped counting. ]

Everyone's got skills though, even if they don't realize it yet. I'm the type of person who leads people and tends to figure out how they're most effective so I can try to help if you want. What sorts of things do you normally enjoy doing?

[badluckcharm]

500 years?! [That was rather surprising honestly, but then again she didn't know much about things that weren't normal.]

What I normally enjoy? Mostly things people usually do, reading, art, that sort of thing but really nothing I stand out for.

[tenminutes]

Well, somewhere between 8 and 500, probably.

[ Yuri shrugs. ] You don't have to stand out for it. If you love doing something, just practice it more. You said you're good at reading, are you any good at editing and revising?

[badluckcharm]

Um, I guess I could if I tried hard enough, sure? Why do you ask?

[tenminutes]

Someone I know decided to become a writer, so I figure he'll need one eventually. That, or if you're good with kids I could use an assistant in class.

[badluckcharm]

I am okay with kids. I mean I'm not around them much, but I'm quite a nice person at least.

[tenminutes]

Want to try being a kindergarten teaching assistant then? I could at least use you for a trial run until you figure out what you want to do.

[badluckcharm]

[She smiled slightly. It was better than nothing at all at least and it was something she could try.]

I can try that. I mean it will at least be experience I'd get which is always a bonus.

[tenminutes]

Make sure you bring an apron on the first day. They're pretty messy.

[badluckcharm]

Anything else apart from an apron, or is that all?

[tenminutes]

Don't wear anything really nice. They are kindergarteners, after all..

[badluckcharm]

Okay. It's good that I don't have anything nice yet then.

[tenminutes]

Well if you do a good job you'll be able to afford something nice eventually.

[badluckcharm]

Maybe, but until then it's nice to know nothing can get broken.

[tenminutes]

Exactly! And there's no hard feelings if you find something else you want to do, I'll just enjoy the help until then.

[badluckcharm]

Okay, I'll look forward to it.

[With that she switches off the feed.]
