Well, this is embarrassing.

[...So, if having everyone suddenly singing and dancing wasn't embarrassing enough?

There's this guy over here who was meaning to turn the feed on to ask for explanation on this madness.

Safe to say it didn't work at all.

So yeah, he's going to just turn it off and turn to text instead.]

[Text;]
...Does anybody know why we're suddenly living in a sodding musical, of all things that could have happened this month?

This is kind of nostalgic...

[Naminé's face appears on the screen, her expression unreadable for a moment. For those who might know her, Naminé looks very different. She's older and leaner, one eye hazed over from blindness. She has a black collar around her neck as well, barely hiding scars across her throat.

For those who don't know her, she looks like she might have come from a war zone, so outfitted with weapons she is-- there's a strange blade hanging from a harness at her hips, a quiver strapped to her back, and a compound bow slung over her shoulder.]

Hello, Hinoto-Ri. My name is Naminé. Sorry I wasn't around to say hello for when all the other newcomers were coming in, but I had to get some...well, affairs in order.

[She pauses a moment before her lips curve into a small smile.]

According to the network, it's almost Christmas, so if anyone needs a last minute gift for a loved one, please feel free to ask for me. I'm an artist. Any commission from me, large or small, is free for the holiday season. After that, I'll have to start charging so I can keep my apartment. [A huff of laughter.]

If anyone else is interested in a little sparring, I'm up for that too. I'll be in Capricorn.

[Private to all KH Casts]

[She breathes out slowly, her eyes searching. Conflicted.]

...hi. I know you're here. Can we talk? Please? I want to see you all.

[ Okay. It is time for Kanaya to reach out. She cannot sit in her little human respite block forever in between bothering Rose(s?). Still...

Being in a city filled with aliens on an alien planet with alien...everything else gave her little motivation to actually do this. Should she do a video introduction like she has seen others do? No, then she risks a thousand responses that amount to gawking at her.

A vocal introduction? Maybe. No, never mind, no way in Hell is she doing that. She can only imagine the awkward fumbling of words she would inevitably spew out as some poor imitation of talking.

Well. There is only one way to outreach to the masses and introduce herself while keeping some of her dignity. Comments about her typing style would be easier to deal with than comments about her species. ]

Hello Hinoto Ri
Uh

[ Shit. She really should have, like. Written a rough draft or something. Doing this on the fly is not working, but too late now. ]

My Name is kanaya maryam
it is nice to meet you i guess
not the city itself i mean the populace as in whoever is reading this
im sure it will be nice to meet you once i actually meet some of you
seeing as i have hardly met anyone at all
but i would like to assume that the average individual that will respond to this will be nice to meet
or at least tolerable
uh

[ Wow, talking to strangers is so much easier when you are trying to be condescending and snarky in the process instead of not. ]

anyway before i say anything i regret
more so than i have
uh
yeah thats all i have got

oh wait
does anyone remember anything about butterflies
i am kind of fond of them for reasons i wont bother to explain due to well inevitably causing more confusion than clarity
and i swear i saw some but i cant remember why or where for the life of me

ok there we go
that is all i have to say
bye i think
