[Usagi gives a big, friendly wave to the camera.]

Hello! My name is Usagi Tsukino, and it's so nice to meet you all! Thank you, by the way to everyone who has helped me get settled in and all that while I figure things out.

Uuum speeeeaking of figuring things out, so like, is there a school or something we have to attend or... do we get jobs? Like, I was told this place was a prison but this is... I mean, I have a lot of thoughts on THAT but that's not really the point this isn't really a prison like I've ever seen so I'm not really sure what to do or what we're supposed to do... if... anything?

Um, sorry if this is something that gets asked a lot! I'm really just trying to understand and was sorta just told "go to Aldrip" and ya know, now I'm HERE so....

Uh, anyway! I guess a more interesting question would be what is there to do for fun around here? Or... or is that... also not a thing since prison and all that?

[Was that a stupid question to ask? She's gotten such weird answers that she has no idea what to think of this all.]

Anyway, thank you so much for your help! I really appreciate it!

I don't think so. I think even in prison, people are supposed to have time for fun. Otherwise, I'm not really sure what do prisoners do to pass the time.

[Granted, a lot of the stories he heard about prisons were mostly how dangerous it was and to always be on your guard but...!]

But it's nice to meet you, Tsukino-san! My name is Ken Amada and I just arrived here too.

[Usagi's eyes widen when she sees Ken. He looks so young! How could someone so young do something to wind up in prison!? She stares for a few seconds longer and then remembers he responded at all and shakes her head.]

Hi yes! Sorry! Nice to meet you too, Amada-kun, you can just call me Usagi! Um, I'm guessing you're ALSO from Japan? [Just how many of them were from Japan?]

Honestly, I haven't really thought about what goes on in prison so I don't know what is and isn't supposed to happen...[Wait...] NOT TO IMPLY YOU HAVE OR DO KNOW! [Good save.]

Um... this is all... just really... uh weird... mega-weird, and I've dealt with a lot of weird back home so that's saying something.

[A boy who looked about her age appeared in the video feed, eying her with a mix of concern and exhaustion. He appeared fairly average and could have easily blended in with all the other high schoolers back in her world. The most distinguished feature he had was his spiky hair, giving him a slight delinquent vibe. One could only guess the amount of hair gel needed to maintain it.]

You're awful cheery for someone who's just been kidnaped.

Video;

[lightthedarkness]

[Considering what Usagi was dealing with before being brought here, kidnapping is a welcome alternative.]

Oh... um, I guess!

I didn't really think of it like that. But I don't see why I should be rude to any of YOU, you're not the ones who kidnapped me... um... are you? Cause if you are I have a couple of questions I need answered among other things.

But if you're NOT my kidnappers, which I'm pretty sure you aren't, then I mean, I don't wanna be rude like I said! SO! Best to make a good first impression! Plus, most everyone I've met here has been super considerate and nice!

{She is awfully young to be stuck in this environment alone. Runyu can't help but worry, unsure how to explain what is required of them. What crimes could she have possibly committed?}

It is difficult for me to believe that you belong here. {So he decides to make it easier on her.} Do you like fresh water? Swimming?

[Video]

[lightthedarkness]

Oh, well, I mean, I've met a lot of people I'm not sure belong here. Besides, who even decided our sentencing? If we're all from different worlds shouldn't we agree to a prison planet?

OH! Yes! I do! I'm not as good at it as my friend Ami-chan or Michiru-san, but I do love to swim!

Hello again, Tsukino-san! ( Shinichi's brightening up to see the girl, sending a wave right back. But his expression's soon sobering a little, because all of this is so strange and he's feeling extremely lost. He's been trying not to let himself fall into gloom, but.....

There's also his "crime".... The boy swallows, hands slowly moving to his lap. )

I'm not sure, either. Truthfully I have no idea what to do... I'm kind of afraid to do something wrong here... since it seems like we're already in trouble. ( He gives an awkward little smile. Someone's punishing all of them.... it's such a weird thought.

(But he deserves it, doesn't he?) )

If I hear about anything like that, I'll let you know....! But are you settling in okay? Have you managed to find a room at the inn yet? I know some people have said it's getting kind of crowded....

Video;

[lightthedarkness]

Shinichi-san, nice to see you again, too!

I don't know what to do either, that's why I thought I would ask. But it seems just about everyone doesn't really get it here. There was talk about not enough room so I thought about like, dorms or renting an apartment.

I did get a room. Just... I don't know how long I can have it, ya know?

[beautifulleopard]

[Well, if she isn't a bubbly one.]

Do you have a lot of experiences with prisons, then?

Video; 1/3

[lightthedarkness]

[Oh wow! She's gorgeous!]

Video; 2/3

[lightthedarkness]

[Wait...

OH NO! SHE THINKS USAGI IS FAMILIAR WITH BEING IN PRISONS!]

Video; 3/3

[lightthedarkness]

No no! I'm not... I just mean, like in manga and dramas and video games maybe but not- not REAL ones. [Well... technically she's been to three of them, Metalia's, Death Phantom, and Nehellenia's prisons... that either she or her mother put them in.

But that is neither here nor there! Gorgeous girl doesn't need to know that!]

video

[feintofhart]

What to do for fun... well, that depends. What do you normally do for fun?

Video;

[lightthedarkness]

OH! Um, well, I play video games, read manga, go shopping, hang out with my friends at cafes or restaurants, and do activities that they like too! Why, is that odd?

(VOICE);

[opheliac]

Eeeyyyyy there, Blondie Tails. Gettin' bored already?

Voice;

[lightthedarkness]

Jinxy! Hey! Um, not bored, more... there's talk of not enough room at the inn so I was thinking maybe like... dorms or like... renting an apartment, ya know?

Video

[touchofcashmere]

It doesn't really feel like a prison, does it? If it is, it's a rather odd one. [gosh, she's young, but then so many here are]

I'm still sort of figuring it out myself, fun wise. I had in mind to be a bit of a nuisance just to stick it to the man, but I haven't really found an effective way to do that.

I bet you might have some great ideas.

Video

[lightthedarkness]

Not like the ones you read about or see in stories, no way! This seems more like just a regular town, and like, are the people running the town ALSO prisoners or just unlucky to be housing us?

Well, this place doesn't seem to have an arcade or shopping mall, and circuses and carnivals tend to cause uh... trouble of a different kind an require all sorts of other things.

BUT I do know how to have fun on a budget! Especially if there's a group of us and someone knows how to play instruments or sing!

[foundheart]

It's weird, right...? We're given a lot of freedom for prisoners, but it's better than the alternative.

[She shakes her head a little and sighs, but perks up] But it's nice to meet you, Tsukino-san! Personally I hang out with my friends or I'm practicing! I do gymnastics, if you ever want to give it a try!

[Don't mind her, just trying to rope more people into the gymnastics fold...]

Video;

[lightthedarkness]

[Oh wow! She's gorgeous! Usagi stares for a moment before clearing her throat, blushing and hoping she wasn't caught staring too long.]

OH MY GOSH! You can do gymnastics! That's incredible! I can barely stop myself from tripping over my own two feet! [This is, sadly, incredibly true. Usagi is a massive klutz who can trip over literally nothing.]

I don't know that I could ever try, but I'd love to come by and cheer you all on!

Voice

[nonbinding]

[That is a lot of information being asked for in a short span of time. It reminds Eiji of why he has no real fondness for children or teens.]

You're asking for quite a lot immediately, don't you think?

Let's start with the most important matter: this place is a prison in the sense we have no way of getting home. We are entirely removed from whatever world we came from. Many of us have been here a few months now; so far, we don't know how to contact our own worlds or if that is possible.

Voice

[lightthedarkness]

Oh... um, sorry. I just... I mean, I'm trying to understand this place since we're... well, I guess we're here a while? Maybe? [At least SHE might be what with being dead and all.]

But um, thank you for answering! I know a couple of people have mentioned they've been here for a few months. But um... if you don't mind my asking, is being able to contact other worlds something a lot of worlds have anyway? [Earth has the technology to contact other planets if that person came from Earth. Usagi and the other senshi can contact others because of their infinitely more advanced tech from planet to planet, but she doesn't know how common that is in these endless "alternate Earths."] Like, getting off of Earth and leaving a planet required you be an astronaut. [Or a magical girl, but shhhh he doesn't need to know that.]

Video

[heroondecku]

Well, I'm pretty sure there's no school. [Otherwise he is woefully behind.] And I don't think anyone expects us to get jobs? You can if you want to, though.

[As for fun...he's been spending most of his time just staying busy with odd jobs and training, which he doesn't think counts.]

If you like reading, there's a library in town. Oh, and a friend of mine is working on starting up some clubs! Maybe you'd enjoy one of those.

Video

[lightthedarkness]

So... no dorms then, I guess. [Well, there went one way of relieving the housing problem.] Oh... well, how do I buy more clothes then? Cause I only came here in one dress. Do they... do they let us like... just have them? Or am I expected to have one outfit? [That would be more like a prison, to be sure.]

Well, if the library has manga, then absolutely! Oh! What clubs!

Voice

[likethestars]

What's a school? [ The only time she's heard that word is in reference to fish, but clearly that's not what she's asking about. ]

As for fun, seems like just about anything goes, yeah?

Voice

[lightthedarkness]

It's a place where you go to learn something with a group of people.

Is there an arcade here or video games? There isn't even a mall.

[lightthedarkness]

[Oh gosh, don't tell her she has to be the one to break it to this person?]

Ha... um... y-yeah... that's... that's what everyone who has been here a bit has said.

Sorry? ／(･ × ･)＼;;;;

[mooglebow]

Well, if there's nothing fun to do, we'd have to make our own fun!

I haven't seen any schools, but if you really need something, I could try to adapt for some basics.

[That's not quite why Usa's asking about school.... but Serah doesn't know that :')]

[lightthedarkness]

[ANOTHER gorgeous girl! How are there this many gorgeous girls! She's died and... well, okay she DID die but she's not mad right now!

Give her a moment, Serah, she'll realize she's staring in 3...2...1...

Usagi blushes and then clears her throat.]

HI YES! I um, I mean... yes! We can totally make our own fun! [Wait, did that sound creepy? Don't be a creep, Usagi.] I mean! I was talking to a nice man about maybe like, a singing circle or a mini-concert or something.

Ah, I... well, I don't know that you wanna teach me, I'm a terrible student. But I was asking more cause maybe there were dorms and I know there's issue with space at the inn.

[breakin_ur_lore]

It's nice to meet you, Usagi. My name's Med'an. [Friendly!! c: ]

I've only been here for a month or so, but the locals seem to appreciate any help with, you know, normal life stuff. Moving supplies around or bringing in food, cleaning, that kind of thing.

[His expression turns a little somber.]

A few weeks ago, there was an...attack, I guess, and we did our best to help out. Those of us who can fight, I mean. If you can't, it's okay.

Video

[lightthedarkness]

Nice to meet you Med'an-san!

Is that how we earn money then? Helping the locals? Cause I really need to get some more clothes. [And shampoo.]

Ah, I heard about the attack, I was helping restore part of the forest I guess everything went down? Are you okay?
