[ 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.

[The picture of a blond boy on a barren couch is upside down for a few moments until a disgruntled 'kupo' sounds from offscreen and this is fixed. He can then turn his attention to the proper lady.]

Oh, that's how! Thanks buddy.

Anyway, I'm Tidus. Can't say I've ever used one of these to meet someone before. But I can see how it'd come in handy, I guess?

[likewishes]

Strange doesn't even begin to describe.

[ That's such a tame word for it. ]

[euphemia]

[ Now she was starting to get the hang of it. Seeing a new face show up on her screen produces another smile! ]

It certainly has its advantages right now. [ Like friendly faces! ] It's nice to meet you, Tidus! Have you finished getting settled, as well?

[euphemia]

[ A voice connection. So it has different functions when receiving messages? This is an interesting fact she now just learned! But that voice just isn't any voice. Ah, right. Yeah ... yeah. It makes keeping a smile rather difficult for the camera. She'll try. ]

... ah. [ Quietly. ] No, suppose not.

[likewishes]

[ Wow. Maybe he shouldn't have responded at all? Though this is to be expected as well. ]

It's a lot to take in. I was hoping maybe a book could offer a better explanation.

[euphemia]

I don't recall seeing any books. Maybe ... you can ask your Moogle?

[likewishes]

Books. Maps. Whatever I can get my hands on right now, honestly.

[ Basically he's doing that thing again. The thing where he is collecting as much information as possible before making any decisions. ]

[euphemia]

[ She's well acquainted with this side of him. Well, at least recalls him from their youth to some degree. Interesting to see its evolved. ]

I'll see if I can find any of that for you just to get things started. If it will help...

[likewishes]

If you'd like.

[ Look he isn't going to tell Euphy to run around and do things for him. ]

I can look for myself too. Even if I can't find any answers about why this is happening, I can at least begin to understand this world.

[euphemia]

[ She's going to help and you can't stop her. It's the least she can do. She wants to help!! ]

... to bring us home? [ Might as well ask. ]

[likewishes]

[ Stop wanting to help. :( It's a bad thing. ANYWAY. He's silent for a moment. How does he answer that, really?

Maybe SHE doesn't have to go back. HIM, on the other hand... ]

If possible, maybe.

[zanarkandian]

Actually, yeah! I found one of my best friends here, and I'm working on making two more!

[He throws a smile over his shoulder, just in case the girls are listening. Ah well. Back to this.]

Everything okay over there?

[euphemia]

[ Hearing that answer brings a wave of relief to her face. She has all too much faith that her half-brother will figure out a solution to their unfortunate predicament. He's a genius. He's bound to find the answer before anyone else. ]

Thank goodness. I was beginning to worry we were stuck here. I'm sure you'll find the answer soon, dear brother.

[euphemia]

[ No ] Ah... Mn! It's just been a little exhausting. But I wanted to see how this iMog slate works. It's very convenient.

[ She smiles at what she assumes is the sound of said friends. ]

I'm glad you found your friends. It sounds like you're adjusting quite well.

[ There is a pause as she looks off to the side a moment. She's been asking this question a few times so why not again? ]

Forgive me for asking but ... do you remember what you were doing last before arriving here? Were you sleeping?

[likewishes]

Don't be so quick to think that. Back home I had a a few advantages that I clearly don't have here.

[euphemia]

I don't think that has ever stopped you before.

[likewishes]

It did once.

[euphemia]

[ Have a very confused Euphy staring at her screen. She can't see him but that's not the answer she expected from him. ]

[likewishes]

Are you really that surprised to hear me admit it?

[euphemia]

[ It takes a moment to even follow. What could have possibly stopped him before?

...

Eventually, she picks up on it... ]

[likewishes]

[ See? Good things CAN come out of simple talks! ]

You won't get lost wandering around on your own, will you?

[despairing_hope]

[A pale disshevled looking young man is on the screen.]

Ah, I suppose in all worlds with modern technology well be prey to social media.

It's nice to meet you! Its very convenient this network exists, isn't it?

[euphemia]

[ A new face! She greets it with the same welcoming smile she has given just about everyone. Well, almost everyone. ]

It is! I don't mind it at all, actually. It makes it easier to reach others and learn about them. Are you also a new arrival?

[euphemia]

I'm just outside the house, actually. I haven't gone too far from where I'm residing. Uhm... I'd like to try going shopping for groceries? At some point? [ She saw someone else did. A certain named Hunk. ]

[likewishes]

Should I make a list?

[ He'd ask if he should go with but... Honestly he's a bit concerned. Has she ever done something like this before? ]
