[Luca, before this, hadn't really been using the video feature. It was inconvenient to do and her voice worked just as well, right? But an official post merits looking her best and using video! ... and broadcasting from Lady Cloche's stuffed animal-filled room, instead of her Dive Machine-filled room.]

Hi, Hinoto-Ri! [She sits neatly on the bed, hands folded demurely in her lap.] My name is Luca. Luca Trulyworth. I've spoken to a few of you, but, eheh... it never hurts to introduce yourself again! [She leaves the cute, dopey smile on her face for a moment, then drops it in favor of a more polite smile.]

I don't want to take up a lot of your time, so I'll get to the point. Lady Cloche and I have been thinking about the best way to explain the Song Magic we use. And, well, I think a demo would work great! That way, anyone interested can see it up-close, live, in-person! [smile smile smile] Doesn't that sound like fun?

Song Magic is an important part of our lives as Reyvateils. It's also how we fight. So, think of it like... a cultural experience and a combat tutorial! [She bows her head, and her tone grows somber.] We're all hoping nothing dangerous happens again but... in case it does, Lady Cloche and I would like you to know- [She places her hand over her chest.] How to fight with us or, if anything bad happens... against us. [She drops the hand to her lap with a smile.]

If you're interested, please let us know! We made a list of Songs we can sing... because, well- maybe, if you guys had one you really wanted to see? Was yea ra chs hymmnos mea. We're happy to sing for you. [With that, she stands to give a large, formal bow to the camera.]

[Should you choose to open it there is an optional attachment to the post, describing the girls' Song Magic.]

[So many familiar people responding to the feed...! Cloche is pretty happy.]

I look forward to seeing you there, Minako.

Of course, Cloche-san! I'm looking forward to it too.

Is there any particular Song that you would like to hear? So far, all we've decided is what Hymns we plan on singing.

They all sound interesting to me. [And... bizarre, in a lot of cases. Judging by description.] You should pick your favorites to sing!

[Their Song Magic is completely normal and not weird at all.

Except for Artsy Bomb. Artsy Bomb is just bizarre.]

It's a little hard to say which is my "favorite," though. It would be like singling out a single aspect of myself...

What about the one you think is flashiest, then?

The flashiest... [She gives it some thought.] For me, that would probably be Eggy G or Jean Ishikawa. And for Luca...

[............. Artsy Bomb...........

Somewhere far away, across the Sea of Death, Croix bends over and clutches his stomach. The memory of that atrocity is something that was better off forgotten...]

... ... nevermind. I'll let Luca decide that for herself.

[....?]

Well, what's most important is to have fun with this.

Oh, yes. Of course. [It's also a pretty good PR event for any future Reyvateils that might come to visit Hinoto-Ri, but that goes without saying.] It will be refreshing to sing simply as a demonstration of our abilities.

I'd still want to hear you sing whether it was part of magic or not.

I don't really know any songs other than my Song Magic... but, I appreciate the sentiment. Thank you.

Luca, however, has composed several beautiful songs without any magical effects. Perhaps I can convince her to sing one of them for the exhibition.

You don't? Not even popular music from your home, or something? [She'd assumed someone who sings to fight might just like to sing in general... Or that there'd at least be a robust music industry.]

Perhaps a melody or two, but nothing that would really count as a "song." My duties on Metafalss do not leave me with a great deal of leisure time. [And most of that time is spent spending money in the Fancy Shop...]

Well then... we definitely should go do some karaoke sometime! That's the best way to learn new songs. [no Minako...]

[But, Cloche seems to be a little excited at the prospect...]

Well. ... my schedule is much more open than it is at home. I would not be opposed to such an outing.

Great! Let's pick a time once you're not busy with your concert.

Yes, let's. I'll make sure to contact you about it.
