Video + Voice | UN: Serenity

[ For a good while, all anyone's going to see is the cityscape of the second district. There's clear movement as the scene seems to move and shake with what seems to be the sounds of footsteps in the background. ]

Hello? Hi, my name is—oh no, the video is on backward, uh—

[ There is a small pause, and after much tinkering, the feed switches over to the front camera. Crisis adverted? On the screen is a teenage girl, looking barely legal with a strange hairstyle. She has on a pretty friendly smile, with all things considered, and doesn't seem entirely too distraught. ]

—there we go! Hello again, sorry for the trouble! My name is Usagi Tsukino and I'm new to the city. So far, I've found a place to live, I think, and I'm just trying to familiarize myself with the place so it's easier to navigate.

[ She looks pensive for a moment. ]

Or perhaps more information on the place? How do things work around here? Anything is fine. [ She pauses for a moment. ] Oh, maybe a place to get food? I haven't seen anywhere that resembles a restaurant where I am, but I'm not entirely sure.

Sorry for all the questions, and thank you for your time!

[ The video feed switches off, but it seems like she somehow didn't close the voice transmission along with the video. ]

Okay...where am I, ooooh, I could really go for a large banana split sundae right about now...where does a girl get some ice cream around here?

...wait, didn't I walk past that place earlier? Huh? Why is this still on? Oh no.....!

[ And the voice transmission cuts off here. ]

The Welcome Diner in District 1 should meet several of your requirements.

[ Here, Yesod includes text format details of the location with a map. ]

There must be harmless ice cream available in the shops here as well, but that may not match your particular request.

Heads up: the ice cream at the actual ice cream parlour causes some weird effects. Dunno if anyone's catalogued what is specific to which flavour, so you're taking your life in your own hands if you want to sample what's on offer there. The jukebox is that place's one saving grace.

Ice cream at the regular shops is fine though, as far as I can tell. Might take a little while to restock, but it's relatively safe.

There's cafés and restaurants all over that'll have food ready for you, but if you want actual interaction with people, there's only the diner some enterprising souls have set up.

That hungry again, huh?

[Hi. Sorry about this lowkey public roast. What's up.]

You should start carrying snacks when you're going out. It'll keep your energy up and help you think more clearly.

[You know, because she's getting lost...]

Hello, Usagi!

[Her struggles with the video are so familiar... the only reason Altria isn't doing the same is because she's had some practice by now. No judgement here.]

It sounds like you're doing a really good job settling in so far.

saw you got told about the weird ice cream parlor already, sooo. convenience store stuff's gonna be safer to eat than that, but no banana splits.

but there's a place close to city hall, you know, right by the subway entrance? it's easy to find.

[ Friendly magical girl, meet friendly magical girl--who is offering the camera a little wave. ]

Nice to meet you, Usagi! I'm Tsuruno! People helped you find places by now, right? Or did you get lost?

[ You can't just ask-- ]

Hi Usagi! I have a list of which ice cream flavours cause which effects. There's a few flavours that don't do anything weird.

[ Oh, it's this girl again. And she's lost, again. Chesed's beginning to notice a trend... ]

Ice cream, was it?

[ Yesod's being a killjoy and already disclosed the unfortunate side effects of the District 2's ice cream parlor. ]

Hm. Well, surely it won't be too bad if we give it a try~ I think someone said the effects last about one hour? We can just wait them out.

[anthropophagite]

Some people already mentioned some ice creams caused different effects depending on the flavour. I'm not sure if that's still happening, but no one got hurt from it, I don't think.

[ but there are many other places with ice cream that doesn't cause any effects, too ]

Do you need help to explore the place? There is a map, but it can still be very confusing.

[ Another kid brought into this madness; this place is starting to test his patience. Still, he flashes her one of his most charming smiles before the southern drawl follows. ]

No trouble, how are you going to learn anything about it if you don't ask? You're a step ahead of me when I arrived, I had to learn how to use a phone. Truth be told, I'm a novice at best.

Careful with the ice cream, I know a grown man who cried like a baby because of it. [ Looking at you, Daniel LaRusso. He won't let this go. ] If you have a sweet tooth, I would stick to the other shops. I would recommend the Welcome Diner for food, Mr. LaRusso is a good guy and a heck of a cook. He has a habit of being a mother hen when it comes to teenagers, however.

[ His name would probably be helpful, since she gave hers first. ] Ethan Chandler, I help out over there occasionally. Nice to meet you, Miss Tsukino.
