[ The video feed comes on, but Rika doesn't quite address everyone just yet. It looks like she's taking a moment to move some windows around on her touch screen. There's a troubled expression on her face for a few seconds, seeming like she's struggling. This sort of technology is something she isn't used to. She didn't even own a computer back home

I had one ask me for a kiss, too. [She's not bothered by it, though.]

[miracleflower]

Did you kiss her? Mi- mi- mii~♪

[orphean]

I did! [Shamelessly!]

[miracleflower]

...really?

[Natsuhi couldn't help noticing that this girl could be that irritating would-be detective girl's younger sister. And their names were almost the same - Furude Rika instead of Furudo Erika. Their demeanors seemed quite different, but that could just be an act. She would be polite to the girl, but watchful. It could truly be coincidence, but...]

Hello, Furude-san. I am Natsuhi Ushiromiya, and I'm afraid I haven't seen either of your friends here.

Your encounter with the snowman sounds rather interesting, though. Perhaps I will go looking for it myself.

...I just met someone named Ushiromiya Lion. Are the two of you related?

She was a friendly snowman. It's not all the time that you encounter one that speaks.

[Natsuhi frowns a little thoughtfully at the girl's question. She certainly didn't recall someone of that name being among the family members, but Lion did have the odd Western style that the names of all of Kinzo's children and grandchildren had. And she had met someone named Lion, who hadn't given their surname. Perhaps she would ask them about it.]

I don't believe so, I've never heard of there being a relative by that name. As strange as this place can be, I wouldn't be surprised to run into odd coincidences.

And no, talking snowmen are quite rare. Since you say she's friendly, I may well seek her out for the novelty if nothing else.

[miracleflower]

Did she also ask you for a kiss? [ And noticing the stuttering. ] ...Are you okay?

[miracleflower]

Perhaps you should bundle up a little more.

...mii. I had to say no to her too.

[ruefulshow]

Haven't seen either of them.

We're in the same "House," though. I saw that... snow... man. It was really weird! Got away from it as quick as I could!

video;

[miracleflower]

I see. That's alright.

...did she frighten you?

video;

[ruefulshow]

Well, obviously. I just barely get here and a walking snowman asks me for a kiss? It'd scare anyone.

... Did it scare you?

video;

[miracleflower]

Mii. Not really... [ But she still didn't give it a kiss. ]

[scarletonlooker]

[A girl with the appearance of a twelve-year-old stares back vacantly through the screen.]

Oh yes, I do believe I've seen a snowman, though not the one you speak of. Really, to insult my intellect with such rudimentary riddles... I was expecting something much less boring. Though I suppose placing this ridiculous hat I received on someone's head would be adequate amusement.

[miracleflower]

A ridiculous hat... was that your prize? What does it look like?

[scarletonlooker]

[... With a look of utter disgust and contempt, Rachel holds up this beauty.]

video. 1/2

[miracleflower]

[ She takes a moment to stare at that hat. No words. But, she's obviously in agreement that's a ridiculous hat. ]
