[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...?"

[all_wound_up]

It's nice to meet you, Teddie. Um... I don't mind showing you around if you need someone.

[She's just being nice! And glossing over the 'pretty lady' thing for the moment because she is easily embarrassed.

Feel free to notice that big wind-up key in her back too.]

[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?

Video

[teddious]

That would be beary~ sweet of you. Mind if I ask your name, my lady?

[He'll probably call her that again. He does notice and finds it a little odd, but a cute girl is a cute girl, so he isn't thinking too much about it. At the moment, at least.]

Video

[all_wound_up]

It's Nano. Nano Shinonome.

[She smiles, looking a little sheepish at the 'my lady' but bowing her head politely all the same.]

Video

[teddious]

[Oh, that was a short, sweet name that he could remember well. She seemed like such a sweet girl as well!]

Are you from this world, Nano-chan?

Video - pretend she called him Teddie-san in that first tag, orz

[all_wound_up]

No... I was brought here too, just like you were.

[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?"

[Voice]

[justanoutsider]

I could show you around, if you like. Unless a lady's already offered her hand in assistance.

I shall!

[teddious]

Oh, so you're from a different place, too? Hmm. [This was all just so weird. He can remember this masked man guy... but what exactly were they here for? But it was no time to get depressed right now and so he looks as cheerful as ever.]

THen I hope you show me some of your favourite places here!

[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.

[Voice]

[teddious]

I have a few ladies who offered their hands already, but I think I can accept it if you show me around as well. Perhaps you have other suggestions where to look.

[Actually, he just doesn't want to be lonely, really.]

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.

[all_wound_up]

I can show you the market and the hot springs, at least. What other kinds of places do you like?

[Although Teddie may have stopped listening at 'hot springs.']

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!]

[teddious]

There are hot springs here?!

[He indeed has.]

Hot springs, hot springs! Can we go into the hot springs?

[all_wound_up]

If you want to! I'm the manager there, so I can show you around.

[Also it's the Amagi Inn, so it'll be nice and confusingly familiar.]

[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]

Oooh, the manager even. That reminds me of a precious friend of mine.

[There's an obvious glint of happiness in his eyes.]

But yes, I would love you to show me around there!

[Oh, he really will be confused... or assume all the inns look the same.]

[all_wound_up]

Really? Was her name Yukiko Amagi?

[Nano's face lights up too. Maybe this is someone else Yukiko knew!]

[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!

[teddious]

Yes, Yuki-chan is a real beauty and-

[Wait a moment there!]

You know Yuki-chan? How? Is she here? [But if she was, why didn't she greet him?]

[all_wound_up]

[Nano shakes her head sadly.]

She's not here... not anymore. But she was for a while. And her family's inn is here, too.

[teddious]

... I see.

[So she wasn't here. That was kind sad.]

But her inn is here? Why is it suddenly here? [Perhaps asking for the how would have been the smarter choice.]

This city brings people and places from other worlds.
