[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!

Mutin-what now? I know what an uprising is, but what's mutiny? Is that the same thing?

But, you are right, it's totally not fair for the townspeople!

No, I mean, I'm not a terrible singer, but not like my best friend, Mina-chan. OH! But I AM really good at getting large groups of people together!

They're similar! But an uprising is against oppressors and a mutiny is...well against someone you had chosen to follow before. So maybe an uprising is better. [one mutiny was one too many]

You might just be what this place is looking for then! Bringing people together under a single cause! A single banner! I bet you could really get everyone on your side.

Oh... [Well then, Usagi's caused one or two mutinies against other villains...] But before we uprise against someone... don't... don't we kinda have to know who we're uprising, ya know, against? Have the people in charge actually shown up?

Ah, well, maybe! [She... she absolutely is, actually.] I don't know if I'm the sort people would follow [Again, she is.] but if it's for something like us all meeting for singing and fun then I'm your girl!

Good thinking! Perhaps some investigative work beforehand. Know thy enemy, as they say. [though he's not sure who at the moment] And er... not that I've heard but that doesn't mean anything.

And don't sell yourself short! You seem like a bright enthusiastic girl, with the right amount of confidence, I bet that anyone would. And I'm all for singing and fun myself. I think we could use a bit of that.

So... what do we know about the people accusing us of this stuff?

[She blushes, and clears her throat.] Well, I definitely am enthusiastic. But yeah! Okay! Why not! Let's set up like a self-ran, self-led concert! Whoever can sing or play an instrument or wants to dance or act or something can do so and we'll have an audience! We don't even need a stage, could just be like, some place where we can hold a group of people!

Not a thing.

[he may have been...very recalcitrant in this]
But we can find out!

Oh, and I like your line of thinking! Maybe we can have a sort of...of talent show! Well like what you said. Everyone bringing a little something. Acting, singing, sword fighting demonstrations, just whatever is in them that they want to show off.

We can? Great! How? I wanna talk to these guys and figure out what they're up to and who they think they are to be dragging all these people here. I know my planet didn't agree to send criminals to an entirely different planet! [That will be AFTER she becomes queen and it's on a planet in their solar system.]

EEEEE yes! Oh my gosh! That's perfect! A talent show! Depending on how many people sign up, no more than ten minutes per person though, I think! And for people who want to share their talents like food or crafts, we can have side tables showing that off too!

I have no idea! I thought we could ask around for someone who might know! [he is weaponized incompetence in a nutshell] And then give them what for.

[but that's for later]

Exactly. Oh and people can bring food and drink and we can have a real festival atmosphere!

Oh... Well... I appreciate your honesty! [She can appreciate being candid about knowing and not knowing.] Would you have any idea who might know? Or maybe who has been trying to figure it out?

OH! Yes! Should we invite the locals, do you think?

Not...not really but...it shouldn't be too hard to find out!

And yes, definitely. Invite them to add some local cuisine and flare! [which would help with the budget that...they don't have]

Great! Should we make it a summer... hey, what... is the season here anyway? Like, it was fall when I was back home. Is it summer here? Or like, spring? I don't see snow so not winter. Anyway, we should totally see about like, calling it a summer show or spring festival or something!
