01 - [Video]

[There's a scrambling sound and a few mutterings of "you turn on the video over here, don't you?" before the video finally turns out, showing the somewhat morose face of one (1) Sam Erstwhile, disheveled brown hair almost covering his eyes. He glances away with a slight frown.]

Um, right, what was I going to say here...

[And then a nod as he looks back up.]

Right! Right. Erm, yeah. Hello to all of you, I guess. I'm Sam and...I just arrived a few days ago, so I'm sorry if I'm still new to all of this.

[He tries his best at a smile, but it's kind of a pathetic try, at best- his mouth just quirks upward for one second before dropping down to it's usual position.]

I...I just am a little confused, honestly. I mean, people have told me about the Persona thing and the fact that we have to fight monsters and all, but, I mean, why were we chosen in the first place? I know plenty of other people who would be way better at this than me. And it's not like I applied or anything, so...what's so special about me?

[He sighs, scratching the back of his head.] Somebody I talked to before talked about how they choose us based on our souls, but...I just want to hear what other people think. I'm not really interested in why we were chosen, more like how we were chosen, if that makes sense. What sets us apart from all the other people from where we come from?

Because, I dunno...I think they made a really huge mistake when they chose me.

[Sam: EVILLY LAUGH]

[except how do you do evil laughs again FORGET ABOUT THAT time for cute awkward conversation with a new friend YAAAYYY]

[He lets out an amused huff.]

Well, looks like you know what you're the best at.

But yeah...if I have any problems, I'll definitely come to you. For sure.

[trulyworthit]

Only after lots of practice!

[Her teasing smile quickly grows into a laugh.] Hehe. Good!

[primordial]

No matter about that, you're certainly better at practicing than I could ever do, to get to a level like that.

[He glances away, as if embarrassed.] You really wouldn't mind, though?

[trulyworthit]

Of course not! My door's always open.

Or, well... I guess I'd be kind of grumpy if you came in the middle of the night. But if you were really in trouble, it'd be fine.

[primordial]

[A quick shake of the head.]

Oh! Oh, no, I'd never do that! I...I wouldn't want to inconvenience you in any way, for sure.

[trulyworthit]

Eheh, well... the middle of the night is when dangerous stuff happens. [The 13th Hour............] If you need healing, I can help.

[primordial]

Oh, right. Erm, that's when the demons come out, don't they.

And you heal too? Is there anything you can't do?

[trulyworthit]

... ... I- can't cook at all...

[primordial]

Oh. Well, that's nothing to worry about! We all have something we can't do, so don't feel down about that...

[trulyworthit]

For a girl, it's kind of frustrating...

B-but, no, anyways- any Reyvateil can heal, so- it's not a big deal.

[primordial]

It's only frustrating if you think it's frustrating, Luca...

Hey, it's more than I can do, so it's a pretty big deal for me.
