Video + Voice | UN: Serenity

[chaossealer]

[ 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. ]

[USAGI... Altria tilts her head at that, and while she could absolutely go for trying every last thing, she did recently just get scolded for trying to take too many snacks... so with that one her mind, she rubs the back of her neck sheepishly and:]

Um--let's get both and share, like you said! And then... maybe we can come back another time and try the others too?

It could be something to look forward to!

[ Usagi stares at Altria. She does suppose her overexcitement about food is a little jarring at first. But at the same time, maybe it's something she needs to work on...either way! She's not about to make her new friend uncomfortable. ]

That sounds good! [ Meanwhile, what Altria suggested—coming back to try the other items on the menu sounds like an amazing plan, so it gets the seal of approval from Usagi! ] That sounds like a plan! We can spread out all the items over the course of a few days and then we can decide which ones' are our favourite!

[ Usagi's never going to say no to food and outings with her newfound friend is something she also won't say no to, so it's a thumbs-up from her! ]

[excaliburden]

That... sounds really, really great!

[She's never had a standing food date like this with a friend! This is so exciting...]

It isn't too far from where you're staying, right?

[chaossealer]

Okay! Then it's set! We'll have to plan our next outing, right? Well, maybe after we have some food, first.

[ Usagi stops for a moment and considers Altria's comment on living situation, and then decides that it's fine—if she's hanging out with friends and getting food along with that, then she's willing to travel and walk a while. Plus, it's not like they have to keep to one location. ]

Also, don't worry about it! As long as I'm spending time with friends and eating good food, no place is too far for me! Plus, we can always try other places that are closer to the both of us. I haven't done much exploring the different food places so far, but I hope to be able to do that soon! Maybe we can even go on a food tour, you know, just of the city itself?

[ The things she will do for food. ] I mean, if you'd like?

[excaliburden]

Definitely!

[That response comes immediately and enthusiastically.

Then, a moment later, she has to pause and consider that. Wait. She should make sure she knows what she's signing up for, shouldn't she...?]

Um, is a food tour like... going around and trying foods from all sorts of different spots?

[chaossealer]

Yeah, that's right!

[ Usagi herself hasn't exactly been to any official food tours in her life, but she figures it's the same regardless of where the location is. There are a few places she has her eyes on already, purely from interactions with others along with the few that she noticed on her apartment hunt, but she's pretty there are more that the city has to offer and she can't wait. ]

We can mark down all the places somewhere, maybe we can keep a notebook of all the places, and then create a catalogue! [ Speaking of which... ] What kind of food is your favourite, Altria? You know, generally speaking?
