[ 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. ]

Ah... well, sometimes we do, too. We aren't sure what is happening and where everyone is going.

[ but! ]

But if someone lived here before, we would have found proof of their existence, I think. This place is very clean, there are no animals, no proof of life, all very clean... so it all feels like it was made before we arrived.

Maybe we'll have to wait and see? Right? Or maybe do some sleuthing?

[ Either way, it's something to do, right? But he does bring up a very good point. ]

Oh, yeah, you're right...I haven't noticed any animals...maybe it's a prepared city? Although it seems a little ominous-sounding if you put it that way...although I guess at least we have clean stuff to use and food to eat and water to drink...?

[ Is she too optimistic to think so? ]

Yes. I think we can't just sit back and give up, either.

[ but he smiles at her optimism ] SO far, we have been taken care of in that regard, at least.

I think it will be alright. No- I'm sure.

[ Truth be told, she hasn't seen anything too catastrophic, maybe aside from the weird gardens, but that's about it. The whole thing is based on her curiosity and honestly? She'd like to have the information—and maybe help in whatever way possible. ]

Heh, you'll never know what kind of information that will be uncovered from this, right? [ Although it's uncertain whether any can be found, maybe that's a worry for another day. ] Plus, even if it doesn't turn out to be the way we think, we can always just say we tried, right?

[ There's no use in being pessimistic about it, either way. ]
