[At first, there's just audio as Aerith is figuring out how this little trinket works. A phone would be easier, wouldn't it? As video comes on, she lifts a hand and wiggles her fingers in greeting.]

Hellllooooo!

[If it seems like she's too cheery, that very likely might be the case. Despite the situation and bizarre circumstances, she's chosen to approach all of this with a great deal of optimism. Smile, and the world smiles with you, goes the saying.]

I understand a lot of us are kind of going through the same thing and it's probably very easy to focus on what we don't know, but I thought it might be kind of nice to have the reminder that we have a common goal. So whether you arrived here with friends or without them, you're not alone! You have the rest of us, too.

[Gesturing to herself, she continues.]

My name's Aerith and I didn't arrive with very much, but if there's something I can help you out with, make sure you let me know and I'll do my best! Also, if you're having trouble finding a place to stay, I'm sharing a room here with my bodyguard, but I'm sure he won't mind too much if we make a little more room for you.

[You're welcome, Cloud.]

Of course you can come and watch! I think... We might be trying to investigate some things after our little duel. So the more the merrier! Plus, I think Cloud might like it, if you were to go.

[inemeraldfaith]

Oh, you think so?

[She's rather under the impression that Cloud likes it when she's safe and out of harm's way. She's personally inclined to agree with Rin. The more the merrier, but she also understands why Cloud would be apprehensive to let something happen to her.]

Let's check with him first. If he doesn't mind me spectating, I'll come on by and bring you guys something to eat for after. If he doesn't want me to go with you afterwards, I can also just stay here in town. It's not a big deal to me.

[Or so she says.]

[maiestas]

I would like that! My stomach is always itching
for something to eat after a nice little spar, to be honest with you. So, yeah, let's ask him first, and see what he says, then we can plan for a picnic or something!

[inemeraldfaith]

Sounds like a plan to me. I guess it's easier if I ask since we're rooming together. But it might sound better coming from you? After all, he doesn't know that I know you're both going to have this little fight. I don't want him to think I'm just inviting myself along.

[maiestas]

Don't worry! I'll let Cloud now, and we'll do this song and dance, hehe.

[inemeraldfaith]

Sounds good! I can't wait to watch! I'll be cheering for you both.
