[The video feed starts with a lovely view of... something. Blurs? Accompanied by an exclamation, "ah!", and a loud noise upon contact with what can only be assumed as the floor. You are picked up and rubbed and a few seconds later, have an actual view of somebody's face. It's a young girl, grimacing. She takes a few steps back, turns, and bows deeply before you.]

I'm Hanaori Kotoha. Um...

I'm not sure...

[Maybe it would've been a good idea to think about what she was going to say before she actually started this thing up. She laughs nervously.]

I asked questions, but... Sorry for not preparing!

[Probably not the right ones. She had asked the man about the Gedoushuu, about her friends, about where she was, but she hadn't asked any of the practical questions like where she was going to stay or how to get there.

She bows her head quickly in another apologetic gesture. Maybe she could still go back and find that man? Ask him where she would go now and how to get there? Perhaps she would receive replies from people via this orb contraption. She tried to think of it as a phone.]

I'm a knight, so I look forward to working with you all.

I'll try my best!

[She clasps her hands together and to her chest and nods in determination.]

I can?! How do the letters get to her though?

[Kotoha is super excited. Look what you've done!]

[shiromadoushi]

Aaa-- I don't think they can... since I think this place is like where I was before, where time doesn't move back home while we're here. So even if they could get there, you'd be back before they would and she'd just get confused. But sometimes it just helps to write...

[shinkenyellow]

A-ah... Of course.

[Her hopes are well and truly crushed. She kicked herself inwardly - of course you couldn't send letters here, stupid Kotoha!]

I really am stupid.

[She offers a sad smile.]

I suppose it might help though. Like a diary.

[shiromadoushi]

You're not stupid, how would you know how things here work if you've just arrived? [[smiles kindly.]] Especially with this place being how it is.

[shinkenyellow]

I should've asked the man really.

[She sighs lightly before shaking herself out of her groove.]

Never mind! I'll try my best here so that I might go back one day!

[shiromadoushi]

Somehow I don't think he'd be helpful enough to know that sort of thing. Better off to ask other people over this than the locals.

[shinkenyellow]

Ah, you might be right about that. You've been helpful already! Thanks!

[shiromadoushi]

Any time!
