[ It's been... well, a day, more or less.

Robin's had enough time to get more-or-less settled in, get some basic information, and figure out how this strange communication device worked. Thankfully, she was a quick study - no embarrassing slip-ups in handling technology for her!

And thus, with all of that out of the way, it was time for another important task. The video feed turns on to show the face of a young woman, a fairly serious look on her face. A dark-haired woman can be seen in the corner of a screen, and manly "hiyah"s and such can be heard in the background. ]

This is supposed to connect to everybody who's arrived to this city from elsewhere.... right? My thoughts go out to every messenger that's been put out of business by this.

My name is Robin, and I'm looking for anybody connected to the Ylissean army. If you are, when see this message, please contact me back for our location. You might not recognize me as the Robin you know, but-

[ The manly voice in the background cuts in- ] BINDING BLADE!!! [ Owain can now be seen in the background, his sword... neatly cutting through the wall.

Robin turns her attention towards him. ] Owain!! As small as this room is, you're going to practice something like that!?

[ Tharja can be seen more clearly as Robin gets up to scold Owain, but only for a moment as Robin turns the feed off. ]

[ And as quick as it's knocked upon, it is opened! ]

Lucina! [ Give your mother a hug. Because she's going to hug first. ]

[yay_danger]

[looking at Owain, considering. Maybe she can hack together a hex and plant false memories. Erase some. Change a few things here and there.

Huh. That could actually be useful, instead of just. You know. Tormenting people.]

[Oh, gods, it's an imposter sent to kill him! Or something. He pretty much stops listening after hearing her say that she's Robin...]

You're not Robin! You can't just steal someone's name like that! Who are you really...? A taguel hunter?!

[video]

[formulator]

Who's stealing names!? I'm not- Who would even hunt taguels!? There's only two of you!

[video]

[bunnyboy]

That doesn't mean that they don't exist! ...There's probably one or two left! ...I think. Most people just mistake me for a giant rabbit instead these days, though...

...That's not the point! Who are you really? I-I'm not gonna fall for it!

[video]

[formulator]

Robin. Tactician of the Ylissean army. [ ...Not going to mention her relationship with Chrom. For the moment. ] Come on, Owain and Tharja are right here!

[greyerrant]

Of a sort, though it is more of an object than a gate.

[video]

[bunnyboy]

...Is Owain really the kind of person you want backing up your claims?

[He can cede Tharja, but...]

Aren't you a bit too...womanly to be a tactician?

[video]

[formulator]

Out of respect for your parents and for the continued survival of your species, I'm going to pretend you didn't say that.

Re: [video]

[bunnyboy]

E-eeek! That's not what I meant! Spare me! I meant, uh...our tactician definitely isn't so...pretty?

[That's what she wants to hear, right...]

[video]

[formulator]

Have you been picking up bad habits from Inigo?

Re: [video]

[bunnyboy]

W-what...? I'd never waste my time with something like that! [Yarne has no problem attracting ladies. It's more like he wants to get them to stop petting him.] Robin is a man, not a woman! T-there! I said it!

[video]

[formulator]

Your Robin. Yes, I know, I figured that much out. It's the same for Owain. You've actually traveled in time, you should be at least passingly familiar with the idea of different timelines.

[video]

[bunnyboy]

Hmm...I'm not...unfamiliar with the subject. Are you telling me there's a world out there where Robin is a girl? ...But how do you know me and my parents, then? Wouldn't I be a girl, too?

[video]

[formulator]

Owain and I talked briefly about it. It seems like I'm the only one who's different. [ And her family.... but... hey.... ]

[formulator]

A "high" school? Is that a.... school for nobility? [ High class? ]

[formulator]

Can you tell me any more about it?

[heritors]

[ She was prepared to wait, maybe wonder if she got the right address - but this is a surprise! ] Mother! [ Definitely a surprise.

And the hug is returned, maybe a little tighter than Robin expected. ]

[greatseal]

[She laughs.] No, not at all... It's just the name for the level of school. Where I'm from, most people go to school until they're at least 18. High school is from age 15 to 18.

[formulator]

That's a lot of education. What could possibly require that much? It's not like everybody can become a ruler, tactician, or army officer.

[video]

[bunnyboy]

So...everyone's the same, but you're just a girl? ...There's not more Taguel or anything where you come from, is there? I'm kind of tired of being the last one...

[greatseal]

[It's a good question... and a little tough to explain to someone obviously from a very different time period.]

Well, where I lived at least, most cities are a lot like Hinoto-ri. There's a lot of technology and a lot of people who need to learn to use and build it. We need doctors, scientists, engineers, politicians, businesspeople, and teachers, to name just a few jobs. That makes it important for everyone to learn things like mathematics, science, history, literature and foreign languages. And even if you don't plan to become a doctor, it makes you a more well-rounded person.

[video]

[formulator]

Just you and your mother.

[formulator]

I'm glad you made it. [ She pulls back from the hug, though still looking happy. ] I suppose the Pisces ward is a fair distance from Libra.

Come inside.

[video]

[bunnyboy]

So it's no easier there, huh...and that's how you know me? I don't look any different to you or anything?
