[Video]

[Teddie had long contemplated if he should appear on the video as his real self or in his human form. In the end, a blond young man with a smile on his face is shown on the feed.]

Hello, ladies and gentlemen of Hinoto-Ri. My name is Teddie and I've just arrived here. Since it's my first time in this city, would anybody be willing to be my tour guide? [He could probably do it himself, but that would feel really lonely.]

I especially don't mind if a pretty lady escorts me. [If anybody thinks now they have seen sparkles, it was probably not only their imagination.]

"Hi, Teddie! My name's Kotoha."

A friendly grin.

"I'd be willing to be your tour guide, if you think I'm pretty enough...?"

[teddious]

Hello, Koto-chan, it's nice to meet you. [Oh, what a nice girl, he is delighted!]

Of course you are pretty enough! When you have some time to spare?

[unbroken_chain]

Good to see how promptly he responds to blatant compliment fishing! And he is pretty cute, so...

"Well, why don't you tell me where you are and I'll fly right over, hm?"

[teddious]

[He isn't really holding back when it comes to his love of lovely girls. He has much to give there.

And oh, she has time right now, that makes him happy!]

Oh, that sounds great! I'm at the Pisces Ward right now.

Visual -> Action

[unbroken_chain]

"Great! Be right there!"

---------------

It's only a few minutes before she is, indeed, right there - it seems she wasn't kidding about flying over, as she swoops in riding on the back of a giant moth.

Action

[teddious]

[Alright, he didn't think she would mean that flying literally and it shows all over his face. That moth... it was gigantic!]

Is that really you, Koto-chan? I didn't know you could use moths for that.

[The ones he had seen were really tiny!]

[unbroken_chain]

"Yup! This is my partner Solar Logos."

The moth rumbles out a greeting as Kotoha leaps down before recalling it into a small sphere.

"So! Where'd you like to start the tour with?"

[teddious]

What a beary useful partner...

[He stares a bit in amazement on how that giant moth fits into the small sphere, but he is probably not one to talk, considering his human form is taller than the bear form and he still manages to fit neatly into the costume.]

Perhaps you could show me the places where you like to eat!

[unbroken_chain]

"Sure thing! Also, we should probably swing by City Hall at some point, too."

[teddious]

City Hall? What is that? [A hall in the city? That sounded somehow weird!]

[unbroken_chain]

"It's where the government works! They can give you the keys to your new apartment, and we can get an Evoker to wake up your Persona."

[teddious]

Ohhh. That sounds like a great idea. [There is something that catches his attention, though.] Wait, you know about Personas? Are you a Persona-user as well?

[unbroken_chain]

Kotoha stops in her tracks.

"Wait, you had a Persona before you came here? That's so cool! What's it look like?"

[teddious]

I did. I mean, I still do. [But he had only thought his friends and him were the only ones who had it.]

It's round and red and has a missile! What does your Persona look like?

[unbroken_chain]

Well, might as well be dramatic about this. Kotoha strikes a pose.

"Unending victory is the nature of a genius! Victini!"

Wow, her Persona sure is...small and fuzzy.

[teddious]

[A genius? Was she just like Nana-chan? But yes, that was really small and fuzzy and adorable!]

That is almost as adorable as I am!

[This might sound confusing.]

[unbroken_chain]

Kotoha practically specializes in rolling with things, so she just pauses and looks Teddie over carefully.

"Nah, I'd say you're more pretty than adorable, personally."

[teddious]

Tut-tut.

[He grins, and despite the words, he is happy with the compliment.]

Right now, I'm pretty! Next time I'll show you that I'm a fluffy prince as well!

[unbroken_chain]

"Oh-ho! I look forward to it, then!"

[teddious]

You'll be surprised. [Now he was really looking forward to see her surprised face once he would show her his real form!]

Oh, oh! Are there any.. part-time jobs around here?

[unbroken_chain]

"Yeah, actually! There's a lot of stores that hire Visitors in order to drum up business, so it's pretty easy to find work."

Slight pause as she glances at a storefront.

"Oh hey, we're here! Shall we?"

As she pushes open the door of the eatery, delicious smells waft out.

[teddious]

Oh good. I think I'll need one if I have to live here. Where does Koto-chan work?

[The smell was indeed beary inviting. His nose approved of this so the only obvious answer here was to nod and...]

Yes! Let's go!

[unbroken_chain]

"Oh, I have a couple different part-time jobs! I work at a little shop selling handcrafted lamps and accessories, plus I get a little bonus to my monthly stipend for greeting newcomers like you. Which, you know, I would have done anyway, so...bonus!"

With that, she waves a friendly greeting to the clerk at the counter, who returns it - apparently Kotoha is a regular here.

"Since you don't have an account yet, this'll be my treat, okay? Two orders of kitsune soba, please!"

[teddious]

Oh, that sounds like an awesome job. [Always getting to greet new people sounds pretty neat to his ears. Especially if they were cute girls.]

Hehe, thank you bear~y much, Koto-chan! [She was a generous girl on top of it.]
