[Video] Greeting newcomers with a smile!

[dualpinkpistols]

Hey, Vatheon!

[ Have a smile from the camera, and a wave, Vatheon. :D The speaker is positively cheerful and bubbly, obviously unbothered by recent events. Or, rather, if she is, it isn't showing. ]We've got some new arrivals, right~? If my info is right, that meeeeaaaans... you're all probably wondering a bunch of things! Well, never fear,

[audio, for now]

[Ritsuka's a newcomer - he doesn't understand the communicators very much yet. He's lucky he figured out how to respond.]

Who are you? [She said you can ask anything, right? The basics sound good for now.]

[video here still]

[dualpinkpistols]

[ Bingo! Just what she'd been hoping to get. Have another smile. ]

Maya Amano~ Nice to meet you! I was transported here like you were. The communicator you have is for people like you and me; the locals don't use them.

[video, after messing around with it and making fumbling noises]

[fourdigit]

So anyone I talk to through this is... normal?

[He feels bad saying the others aren't normal, but he's unsure how else to describe them.]

[video] She's totally going to big sister you, Ritsuka. Forever--

[dualpinkpistols]

If by 'normal' you mean not from a psuedo-Atlantis? Then yeah, we are! Don't worry, everything's free of charge here.

[ A pause; she heard all that messing around with your SFC. ]

If you're having too much trouble with the SFC though, how about we just talk face to face? I'd be happy to meet you somewhere, if you like. Maybe get you something? I know arriving and stuff can be pretty tiring and confusing, especially the first week.

[video] he might like that!

[fourdigit]

That sounds fine. [It sounds nice, actually, to be able to talk face-to-face with someone normal and not annoying.]

I'd come find you, but I don't know where I am.

[video] Good, because he may not have a choice |D

[dualpinkpistols]

No idea, huh...? Well, can you see any obvious landmarks nearby?

[ A pause. ] Or, better yet, could you pan your communicator around a bit? I can come find you that way.

[video] LOL. it depends on how annoying he finds her. although his tolerance is high.

[fourdigit]

Okay. [He moves it around, slowly, hoping it shows enough of where he is - in the plaza somewhere I guess, since he just got here and all. The set-up still confuses me, tbh.]

Is that good?

[video → action] ... She may pester him to think positively?

[dualpinkpistols]

... I think I know where you are; don't worry too much, 'kay? I'll be right over.

[ Someone will draw a map someday.

It takes her a few minutes, but you can see the screen moving with her. She only shuts it off when she spots Ritsuka, and then smiles brightly.

And... oh! He's adorable. ]

Hey, there! Sorry for the wait~ How are you feeling? The first week's always pretty tiring.

[action] LOL. That should be okay. He likes his therapist, after all.

[fourdigit]

[I have a map of it, if you...would like it...I can upload it. :D

As soon as he spots her, he waves!]

I have a headache, and I want to go home, but apparently you can't.

I'm worried that Mom will wonder where I am and freak out - and Soubi, and everyone else...

[action] ... But does his therapist drag him into adventures?

[dualpinkpistols]

Well, you don't have to worry there! Time stops in your world while you're here.

[ That's okay. : |b Winging it is more hardcore. A pause. Oh, right. She takes out one of the pamphlets Red made and gave her to hand out, and gives it to Ritsuka. ]

I know it might be hard to believe, but considering the circumstances, well, you'll be here for awhile. The headache... I might be able to help with that. But first, you have to tell me your name! I told you mine, after all. Unless you want me to improvise?

[action] ..No, I suppose she doesn't! :D

[fourdigit]

[He's listening, but reading/skimming through the brochure while she's talking.]

I'm Ritsuka.

This says everything is free? Really?

[action] Well, that is one thing Maya WILL do. : D

[dualpinkpistols]

[ A nod as she ponders that. ]

Yep! It is. Pretty lucky, right? If you don't believe me, you can even go into one of the shops--it really is free for us foreigners. Weird, but hey, I'm not complaining!

[ And she spins around to give him a nice, bright, peppy smile. ] It's nice to meet you, Ritsuka-kun!

[ Eh, she knows demons. He's not that weird; she's unfazed. Cute, however... yes. He is adorable. ]

[action] ....Well, his friends drag him around sometimes. :O

[fourdigit]

I believe you. [...Why wouldn't he?

She's not quite annoying, but she does have a lot of energy. Oh well, he's seen worse. Much worse.]

And you're ...Maya, right?

[action] ... Good, 'cause she's just. high octane energetic, haha

[dualpinkpistols]

You got it! And well, sometimes you come across people who tend to be very skeptical of things, even if it's obvious.

[ Oh he remembered! She is so excited and happy about that ajhslskjhg. ]

That's right! So, you said your head hurt, Ritsuka-kun? When did you get here...?

[action] OH GOOD. Kinda like the zeros. I'm excite.

[fourdigit]

Today. [Basically... in-game days:rl days ratio confuses me, but yeah, I'm pretty sure this is how it goes.] Does everyone's head hurt when they get here?

[action]

[dualpinkpistols]

[ It's kind of as on the tin. One day here = one day in Vat. We go by EST time.

But oh, poor baby. :c She will take care of him, yep. ]

Sometimes, yeah. Usually, we're all pretty exhausted, too. Let's see... if you're new then have you been to the coral yet? It'll definitely help with that. If not, I've got something I can try...

[ Which would be... well, magic. Her Persona was always suited towards healing, after all. ]
