[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.]

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.]
