[The pause before recording and the view wobbles, as though the person using the watch doesn't have the first thing about cameras or recording devices. Which he doesn't.]

...Hello! My name is Morgan, and I'm new to this Outrealm - I mean, to this city! It's a beautiful city, by the way. I've heard a little bit about what's going on from the government workers, but there's a lot that I'm curious about. Like this "COMP." How does it work? Being able to talk to people over long distances seems amazingly valuable, tactically speaking. That is if I really am speaking to someone. It's still strange talking to myself but actually expecting other people to listen--

Sorry, I'm getting ahead of myself again. There's something more important I was wondering about. I heard that we all have a "Persona" and it's supposed to be something that represents us, right? Do I still get one if I don't know myself? You see, I have amnesia, so if this Persona thing knows a lot about me I really want to meet it.

Thanks in advance if you can answer my questions! I don't mind if you can't, though. I just think it's friendly to introduce myself when I'm in a new place.

Oh and, Mother... or any of the other Ylissean Shepherds! If anyone else is here, I think meeting up would be a good idea too.

I've always remembered you as a brother, so it's unlikely that you were ever... a girl. I can't picture mother as a man, either... [ She's tried though. It didn't work so well.

There's a tiny bit of hesitation, then a brisk nod. ] Father's still father in that world apparently.

[......

So in that world, Lucina isn't his sibling. (It doesn't even cross his mind to think he might still be Chrom's child, but not Robin's. His mother is too central to his life - just like their father is central to Lucina's.)

But he doesn't need to bring the idea up. Lucina's definitely already realized it, and can't be more comfortable with it than he is. He may not remember their childhood together, but even so... the thought of not being part of her family is a little unnerving.]

Sounds like a pretty strange world to me. I guess this means I'll have to re-introduce myself to Owain. That'll be a role-reversal...

[ She give him that little bit to think it through; it's definitely an uncomfortable idea, considering even she's having a hard time swallowing the thought. And she's known it for a couple of weeks, now.

Lucina's lips quirk up in a small smile. ] Eventually, yes. He should be coming in contact with the feed soon. [ A pause, as she considers where he could be. Oh right, before she forgets... ]

Which apartment are you living in right now?

Apartment? Oh! [The city people had explained the concept, but it still seemed strange to him. Hundreds of people living in one huge building that went up and up?] Let's see... It says I'm in Pisces, floor 5, room 5. I haven't gone to see what it looks like, yet.

[ Just wait until you hear what an elevator is, Morgan. Lucina still can't believe what it does. ] ... Ah, you're living in the same quarters as mother.

[ Something else catches her interest, though. ] Oh? Where are you right now?

Where am I? [...] That's a good question! I was escorted to the government building, but after that I got a little sidetracked looking at everything around here, and well...

[in other words, her brother's already gotten himself lost.]

... [ She wishes she could help. But it's not like Lucina can navigate around the city very well either...

But this is her brother! She'll make an effort. ] Describe your surroundings; what do you see? Any distinct landmarks?

[Give him a moment... The camera starts to swing around as he moves, but unfortunately he hasn't mastered the concept of it enough to figure out how to point it away from him and show Lucina what he's seeing directly. For a while there's an exciting view of pavement and/or sky.] There aren't many people around, or I could ask for directions. It looks like most of the shops aren't open. [...] Oh wait, there's a sign over here!

'Taurus District'?

[ ..... But Morgan, why. Lucina doesn't need to look at the map to know what that place is. ] Er... Try to stay there, for now. If you can, put some distance between yourself and the buildings.

I'll try to be there shortly. [ She's already moving. ] Will you be alright for about 30 minutes?

[because Morgan]

Of course! ...Why wouldn't I be?

... N-no reason. [ She's not hesitating. Of course not! She smiles (a little awkwardly). ] I'll see you soon. [ Then the feed ends. ]

-

[ Then some 20 minutes or so later, she's walking quickly towards Taurus; or the sign, anyway. Very much looking for her younger brother. ] Morgan?

[Don't mind him over here, idly observing a poster for a club featuring "live entertainment" and a picture of two ladies wearing what looks like smallclothes covered in feathers.

...Sometime between her warning and now, he figured out what kind of district this is. But also fortunately, he's not Inigo, so her arrival is enough to bring his attention back to the important issue of regrouping with everyone else.]

Good to see you, Lucina! That didn't take too long.

Ah! There you are. [ She looks a lot more relieved than she had been just a few seconds ago, catching up to where he is.

Her eyes travel to the poster... then back at Morgan immediately. ] It's good to see you too. [ There's a bit of hesitation, before she awkwardly gives her younger brother a hug. ] I'm glad you're safe.

[ Aaand then taking a step away, clearing her throat. ] ... We could go to your apartment, if you'd like.

[He hugs back, trying to make it a little less awkward. Lucina is prone to being tense and serious, which just makes him decide that his job as her brother is to lighten her mood.] A little world traveling isn't going to bother me. There aren't even Risen to greet me this time!

[He lets her go when she starts to step away.] But I'd like that. Lead the way, Lucina.

[ Leave it to Morgan to be able to let her relax, at least a little. Her lips tug up to a fond smile, and she's not completely tense anymore. ] You're right. We should be thankful that none of us were attacked by strange creatures when we arrived... here.

The walk isn't too far - we can sight see on our way. [ And so she begins to walk. ]

Sounds like a plan. [He strides along beside her, with a bit of bounce to his step.]

I talked to Mother while I was waiting for you. She sounds well. I talked to Tharja too, but it's a lot harder to tell if she's well or not.

Edited 2013-06-23 06:18 (UTC)

Ah. Tharja's well, I believe. [ At least, Lucina thinks she is. To be fair, it's Tharja, there's no reason to believe that she wouldn't be okay. ] Mother had just been worried about you - and father, though she's reluctant to admit it. [ Oh, mother. She smiles fondly. ]

Oh - did you have any questions? I can't claim to know everything yet, but I could answer some things.
