[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.]

Er...I don't know about that, or about being like a knight. I just want to protect my friends and loved ones.

[trulyworthit]

Are you kidding? That's super knight-like!

[second_destiny]

I-it is? You really think so?

[pastalishe]

[Cloche, who has been quietly listening to the conversation, leans into Luca's side of the feed.]

Why, of course. Dedication to duty is one of the most important aspects of knighthood. You're just the sort of person I would want to recruit into the Knights of the Grand Bell, Asem.

[second_destiny]

Wha--

[GEEZ DON'T JUST POP IN LIKE THAT.]

The...the Knights of the Grand Bell? You have your own knighthood?!

[pastalishe]

[SHE'S LADY CLOCHE, SHE DOES WHAT SHE WANTS]

Naturally. As a Holy Maiden, I was once called the most precious life in all of Metafalss. [She admits it so casually...] And Lady Luca's life is just as precious. Of course, the Knights have other duties than protecting their Holy Maidens... but most of them revolve around protecting the people of Metafalss. That's why we find your dedication so admirable.

[trulyworthit]

[sdfghjkl SHOVING LADY CLOCHE OUT OF FRAME!] Sis! Don't say stuff like that casually!

[pastalishe]

[Oh no, her position in the feed has been usurped!]

Quiet! Take that back! Call me Lady Cloche, like always! [At this point, all that's left of Cloche is a single angry arm...]

[trulyworthit]

Then call me Luca! What kind of noisy little sis adds a "Lady"?!

[pastalishe]

Stop that immediately! All I'm trying to do is make sure that we appear on equal ground, Lady Luca, Holy Goddess Maiden of the Grand Bell! [SHE WILL SHOVE HER WAY BACK INTO THIS FEED] Don't listen to her, Asem. I'm hardly "noisy" for stating facts.

Okay, now that I've stopped laughing enough to actually type... (1/2)

[second_destiny]

[Two words: Empty. Stare.]

So...there's that...and you two are...

2/2

[second_destiny]

[But he says no more, as an attempt at a hushed laugh escapes his lips.

But he's now smiling and his torso is shaking.]

[trulyworthit]

[Luca's plan was to take one of the Gergo dolls hostage, but her sinister, not-cute-at-all plan is distracted by the hushed laughed.]

... Ah. Ah! Oh, um- [She loosens her grip on the hostage animal, suddenly red in the face.] Oh...

[pastalishe]

[When embarrassed... when uncertain... when in doubt-!]

A-anyway, nevermind that. I demand you forget what you just heard! Purge it from your memory this very instant! As far as you're concerned, we're just Lady Cloche and Lady Luca of Metafalss!

[TSUN TSUN TSUN

It's not like she's flustered that Luca shared an intimate secret about them all over the public information network-!]

[trulyworthit]

You said "Lady" again!! That's it, Gergo's coming to my room! Indefinitely!

[pastalishe]

No! You wouldn't! Not my limited edition Gentleman's Gergo! [With his rare mustache and monocle accessories, this Gergo takes uglycute to an entirely new fashionable level!] Luca, you can't, he's precious to me!

Besides-- you are a "Lady"!! Since when was that a secret?!

[trulyworthit]

What? What's that, Gentleman Gergo? You want to go in the shower? [Luca is off-screen, but clearly moving the Gergo's arms in a stupid puppet show.] Oh, but you'll get all wet! Do you really want to?

[pastalishe]

Noooooo! [Cloche is frozen with horror on the bed...] Anything but that! Gergo products aren't safe in the dryer!

I'm sorry! I'll do whatever you want! Just- don't do anything bad to Gergo!

[trulyworthit]

[With Lady Cloche utterly decimated, Luca will set the Gergo gently on the bed, and pick up the watch to focus just on her.]

Phew! Sorry about that, Asem. Sometimes little sisters can be a real handful. [She's smiling as if she didn't just make her little sister cry............]

[second_destiny]

[Wow. Okay, he's done laughing now.]

Um. Yeah, I've. Got one myself back home.

I never saw anyone treat stuffed animals so seriously, though.

[trulyworthit]

Yeah... you can tell by the room, right? She really loves them. Especially if they're limited edition.

[... but.]
Um. She's still really good at her job, though. So don't think less of her.

[second_destiny]

Oh yeah, no, I understand. People have their hobbies. I mean, I've got my own stuff to dive into when I have free time. I'll keep my mouth shut about your titles, too.

...But is she going to be okay?

[trulyworthit]

[To Dive into?! ... n-no, wait, it's a figure of speech. Still, Luca's cheeks are a bit pink at that.]

Yeah, she'll be fine! I'll apologize properly in a bit.

[second_destiny]

Good. Let me know if you need help, though. I have an idea to make her forget about it, at least for a little while.

Oh, and I'll be coming to listen to the two of you sing.

[trulyworthit]

Oh? [Help her forget about it, hm, hm? Luca's almost a little suspicious, there, Mister...]

Well, we're looking forward to singing! I hope you like it.
