[ The feed flickers on to show a young girl wearing a long, eloquent gown seated in what appears to be the front yard of the home she was assigned. By appearances alone, one can assume quite a bit about who or what she might have been in her homeworld. There is a bit of murmuring off camera by the likes of her Mog who appears to be guiding her with using the device. ]

—starting. Ah! Wonderful! And there we are. Now you are connected, my lady. Please, go right ahead.

[ Euphemia smiled off camera to the Moogle and mumbled a quiet thank you, then turned her attention back to the screen. ]

Hello everyone! I, ah ... I just wanted to introduce myself properly since I believe most of us are in a similar predicament. It's been a very ... a very strange day, [ and her expression twists a little because that word doesn't even seem right. It will do for now. ] but I like to hope that I can end it on a reasonably good note.

I hope everyone has settled in well or going to. I intend to do so myself. I wanted to thank everyone that I had the opportunity to meet today. Your company, whether brief or not, was welcomed and one I will hold dear. I hope we can meet again soon while we are here.

As for the rest, perhaps we might get acquainted using this, ah... this—what is it called again? [ She turns to look off camera to where her Moogle is apparently floating ]

An iMog, my lady.

Oh! Yes. iMog slate! [ She smiles. ]

It's a pleasure to meet all of you! I'm Euphemia. But please, call me Euphy.

At that, Connie wilts slightly. "...as well as can be expected, I guess. I'm, um, still a little freaked out, but the urge to panic and have a breakdown in a corner is gone. Mostly. Well, it's easier to suppress, at any rate."

[euphemia]

"You shouldn't panic. I believe we're under good hands. The people here seem to have our best interest at heart." At least this is what she wants to believe. They provided so much for them already. Surely such good intentions did not mean something more in the future.

Connie didn't doubt that at all. The Center staff seemed like good people. There were... other things that concerned her, though. "No, no! It's not that. I..." she sighs, shaking her head. "While things weren't exactly falling apart when I left, my planet is in a really precarious position right now. Any moment the Diamonds could decide to come back to Earth for round two, and even though I wouldn't make that much of a difference, I still want to protect my home."

[euphemia]

"The ... the Diamonds?" Now that was a little confusing. In her head, she's already imagining giant sized diamonds in her world. It wasn't exactly far from possible. After what she's heard of today, anything was. Still, her tone was a good indicator for just how gravely important this was to her. She was away from home when the worse had yet to come. That was difficult and Euphemia could understand.

"I know how that must feel." To not play a big part in restoring peace, but to still want a role in helping. Yet to not be there in the end. "But ... try not to worry. Trust that in the end, everything will be okay. Especially if there were others helping you..."

"I guess... yeah, you're right." Connie sighs, remembering many, many moments in her career as a Crystal Gem where she had to take several things on faith. She just had to believe that things would turn out all right. She just had to believe that they'd find a way to save the day. She just had to believe in Steven. "They beat them once, after all. I'm just have to remember that, that if worst comes to worst, they'll find a way."

[euphemia]

"Yes, that's a much better way to look at it." Euphemia smiled. It was advice she needed to take herself. She couldn't spend her days worrying about home, all she can do is hope that they were alive and well. Just like Connie had to and perhaps everyone else here. She wasn't alone.

((Is this a good place to end?))

[euphemia]

(( we can! it's up to you! ))

[conniemaheswaran]

((Yeah, seems good to me.))
