[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.]

I wouldn't necessarily call it noble. [And, if she were to be entirely truthful, Cloche would have to admit that her origins are far from noble.] But on Metafalss, I am known as the Maiden of Aqua. Together with Luca, the Maiden of Fuero, we lead the Grand Bell, our world's government.

"So some form of monarchy?"

It's a theocracy, actually. [Even though it's become a little hard for Cloche to take the Church rituals seriously anymore, considering what kind of person the Goddess turned out to be.] We lead in the name of the Goddess, Frelia.

"Oh, I see. I've never actually seen any of those. Well, no, the Jovians followed the teachings of Gekiganger but it may be insulting to lump that in with a religion."

I don't know about- Gekiganger, but the scriptures of Frelia are entirely benevolent. [War is only declared... on the Goddess herself.

But that's an entirely different story that's irrelevant to the conversation at hand...]

"If you wanted to see it, some of my crew was Jovian so I have it but its kind of silly. A rather simplistic set of morals given with a lot of big robots fighting other big robots."

That... seems incredibly silly. [Why would robots even need a religion...?] Were the automata sentient? What sort of morals did they have?

"It was more about the pilots of the robots."

I... see. [So, people like Jacqli.] I apologize for the misunderstanding.

"Don't worry about it. Many worlds don't have things like that it seems."

Mm, well. [Time for a totally smooth topic change!!] Anyway. Since you'll be bringing us refreshments... are there any Songs in particular that you would like to hear at the exhibition?

"Just sing your favorites. I don't have a context of songs from your world so I can't specify."
