[Video] Greetings

[modelcivilian]

[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.]

[Awww, look at this kid.]

It's nice to meet you, Adrien. I know exactly how you feel about losing something precious to you: I only just got my hands on my dear Vespertine again.

[She reached aside, and pulled an ornate guitar into her lap, winding her arms gently around the neck.]

Why, I was simply naked without it! But with this in hand, if you've ever need of a Bard or a White Mage just the same, I would be happy to join you on an adventure or three.

[Adrien mentioned an important thing, now Okuyasu has to learn more. And he's from Paris, that city with all the fashion shows and art and food. How can he not be curious?

Forgoing text, a video feed of a tough-looking Japanese teenager with two scars running down his face pops up. One second later, he leans into his Slate with wide eyes and a loud voice.]

What did Biggs and Wedge bring back?

[garyoutensei]

Somehow I'm not surprised you're a Frenchman. -Rude, but probably expected.-

[likewishes]

Chinese... That is a rather random choice.

[ A bright smile is given to Adrien. She's more than happy to see him show up on her iMog and eager to catch up. ]

Wow, Adrien. I had no idea you played the piano, too. Or that you were homeschooled. Did you learn anything about the school in this world or how one might be able to attend? I'd like to try and enroll so that I can finish my studies here in this world.

[ Her hands fold as she studies him. ]

You know, as a White Mage, I'll be happy to assist you with anything, too.

[nanaimo_bar]

I am glad you're feeling better. You chose good jobs, well loved in my home world as well.

You received your important thing as well? I got my orchestrion back.

Fencing, my man?

[ Frankly she was zoning out all the way until that point. ]

I'm comin' at that from a Red Mage angle, but I bet I'll need the practice.

[Cue a wide-eyed, feathery-haired bird boy poking his face into the camera.]

Um, hello Adrien! My name is Yue. I'm homeschooled too, but I never learned Chinese or piano or fencing...just things like how to read and write and do math.

[A curious tilt of the head.]

Does fencing mean...you're good at making fences?

[spaceforged]

If you need any help getting used to anything or need a tutor, I'm always here. [Behind him a massive metal lion foot dominates the view. His friendly smile softens a hair as he adds.]

It's understandable to be less social in a strange situation. Especially one like this. Don't kick yourself too hard.

I'm glad you're feeling better.

[chefbayardee]

You never told me you knew Chinese! [ Hunk blurts the words out the moment the video feed starts, and he has to gasp for air for a moment to catch his breath. ]

Adrien, you know French, English, and Chinese? That's awesome! But I'm... [ He pauses, and then chuckles. ] ...kinda surprised you have such stabby asterisks and not, like, Scholar.

[fatefulprincess]

At least you go it back. That's what's important.

I'm working on Swordmaster myself. Though I did wonder about Ninja...

[melodiouspacifist]

You're from France?

[He smiles, that's pretty cool.]

What did you like best about it? [Demyx is just curious, perhaps.]

I'm Demyx. I'm a bard. [He waves, friendly.]

[mech_and_mutt]

Hey, ya found it after all! [Good thing, too; Red admittedly didn't handle giving the pep talk all that well.]

Ninja, eh? You gotta let me know if that's any good; I gave it some thought, too, but I couldn't turn down that Magitek Armor!

Heya! Nice to meet you, kiddo - I'm Rikku.

Never heard of Parisfrance, but I'm glad you got your thingy back.
