melodiesofkupo | [Video] Greetings

[Look, it's another blonde on the network. However, it was definitely a teenager, and beside him was perhaps the grumpiest Moogle to be seen. It doesn't take long for it to flutter out of view, glowering all the while. Either the boy wasn't bothered by it or just chose to ignore it as he smiled before slightly frowning.]

Hi...

I want to start by taking a moment to apologize. Normally, I'd make an effort to get to know everyone and I wanted to respond to more people on the network, but when we all arrived from the Dream Width, something pretty important to me didn't make it through. Biggs and Wedge managed to find it recently - thanks again by the way. Still, that doesn't excuse my behavior to some people so... I'm sorry about that.

[He nodded his head once and allowed for a beat of silence in which he rubbed the back of his head before recomposing himself]

Anyway, my name's Adrien and I'm from Paris, France on Earth. Until recently, I was homeschooled and I still have a lot to learn when it comes to socializing outside of a fundraiser or a show. Aside from that, I've been tutored in other subjects like Chinese, piano, and fencing, the last I've applied to my asterisk. If you guys ever need a Swordmaster or Ninja, I'm totally up for lending a hand.

[He smiled wider.]

Thanks for your time and I'm looking forward to getting to know everyone.

[And with a wave, the video ended.]

Oh, I know what'cha mean. I've got the Paladin asterisk but I'd rather end the battle quickly than spend the whole time on the defense.

[Plus, gotta rush that Mecha, right?]

Yeah. Though, did you try the Paladin during the Chocobo Eater invasion? I imagine it would've been helpful then.

[That thing hit hard]

Gettin' in close to that thing? No thanks-- It was all I could do to trip it up with lasers and fire bullets!

Probably the safer option. Chocobo Eaters really don't have the best breath.

Don't remind me. We had a black mage with feathers.

Serious firepower 'n all, but I couldn't've pulled that monster off'a him with a crowbar.

Same. Two chocobos decided to help, but after the battle, one wanted to stick around.

[He didn't keep it though.]

What? The Chocobo Eater got the chocobo helping you?

Nah. But one'a my teammates was some kinda weird... bird... person. Apparently, to a Chocobo eater, that's close enough.

It didn't 'get' him, at least.

Oh, that's a relief. Though, what do you mean they're a bird person?

[Because meeting them might become... complicated.]

They're--

Okay, you know how people call me a dog person? Like that. But not. They look human but they've got feathers and kinda wing-ish things and talons and stuff.

Huh... okay. Thanks for the heads up.

No problem.

How'd you do against the one you fought, by the way? Y'know, the Chocobo Eater?

It went pretty well. We were both Swordmasters at first though, but Mythra changed to a magic job that used status ailments which helped. Helps also that Swordmasters have abilities that can lower attack and defense.

Huh. Could'a probably used somethin' to make it weaker like that. Still, it was nice bein' able to pelt it full of bullets and lasers.

Yeah, keeping your distance from it was probably the better way to go.
