[ Though the video feed may be started with Daniel’s username, it seems like the man isn’t the only person visible when the message starts. Robby is right there next to him, the man with a friendly smile on his face and the boy smiling, though not as brightly. ]

Hello, everyone! As I’m sure many of you have experienced yourself, suddenly arriving in this place on the train can be more than a little disorienting. And though many people here are incredibly kind and willing to help, Robby and I thought that it would also be nice to have a place where new people can be directed to in order to get some information, a warm welcome, and some equally warm food. So we’re planning on clearing out a space somewhere near the main train station to turn it into a welcome diner of sorts.

We know people are arranging clubs and have regular meet-ups, [ speaks up Robby this time, ] so we thought they'd be a good place to advertise them. Let them know who's running clinics, who to ask about the kiosk or the city. Share what's happened here, too.

[ There's the faintest shift in Robby's tone at the mention of that, but he quickly adds: ] Oh, yeah, and we know there's been talk about how supplies are doing. The food's gonna be packaged and good to take out if people want it–if you wanna help with recipes, or help out with the idea in general, let us know.

[ Daniel is definitely smiling like a proud dad sensei the entire time he’s listening to the boy speak. Please don’t mind a man being very embarrassing, even ruffling his hair once Robby is done speaking. The highest form of humiliation a teenager can suffer. ]

Really, Robby deserves all the credit. He really does always have the best ideas. Everyone, make sure to befriend him, alright?

[ There's a very teenage huff from behind Robby, and the video feed is moving as: ] Okay, I think we're done.

[ Yes, that's Robby reaching for the phone to end the post. Freedom!!!! ]

Ah, really?

[ It's a touch surprised, but not much more than that. If Daniel has learned to have to get used to anything in this place, it's people being stronger - or different - from what they seem like. ]

.. how strong are we talking? [ Look, if she's going to help out at the diner, he has to make sure he knows what she can or can't handle. Keeping the people helping out there safe feels like Daniel's responsibility, after all.

Especially when they're relatively young. ]

[fashionably_strong]

[She can't measure exactly here and knows her powers feel weaker here, so she opts for something she knows for sure she can still do.]

Strong enough to lift cars over my head. If you need a fridge or oven moved, leave it to me.

[miyagimagic]

[ Bulla, hold on, you can't just tell a man this who comes from a very, very normal world-- ]

Cars?

[ It'd be one thing if she could just lift a fridge by herself. That'd already be pretty impressive to Daniel, even on a superpowers sort of level.

But this is baffling to the guy, if his tone is anything to go by. ]

You can even still do that here? Other people were saying their special abilities were reduced. [ So how strong does that mean she actually is.. ]

[fashionably_strong]

Mmhmm!

[She nods her head in confirmation.]

I tested it out on the cars here. Too bad there aren't any engines in them.

[miyagimagic]

[ .. God. What do they feed kids in other worlds that they're capable of stuff like this? ]

Well, that's-- that's quite an ability.

[ It's hard to keep the surprise out of his voice. At least it does sound like he means what he's saying in a goodnatured sort of way, surprise aside.. ]

I trust that you'll be using it responsibly? [ The last thing they need to add to the chaos of this place is kids throwing around cars like they're toys, really. ]

[fashionably_strong]

Of course! I'm only trouble when someone causes big problems for me or the people I care about.

[Or not much trouble, anyway. Teenage sass doesn't count, in her mind. Although, something does occur to her...]

If it's not too much trouble, you mind showing me how to cook a few things? I've been relying on the restaurant food.

[If he's offering to provide meals for newcomers, he must be comfortable in the kitchen, after all.]

[miyagimagic]

.. yeah. [ Hold on, he still needs a moment to recover from this sheer whirlwind of revelations, but-- ]

Sure. Of course.

[ There we go. He can ponder all of it a little more later. Right now it's thankfully relatively easy to give this answer instead. ]

Just let me know what you're interested in making ahead of time, so I can make sure there's enough ingredients in stock to show you.
