Ah, hello?

Hello?

Wow, this is pretty cool!

[Audio]

- Oh, the screen went away! And - it can hear me? Hello? [A laugh.] How fun! I wonder if this is -

[A boy with a curious look to his face flickers onto the screen.]

- some sort of video - Ah, it is! [a friendly wave.] Hi there!

[An intent look returns to his face.]All right, now, I

You, ah, seem. Happy? Why?

[solaeuftderhase]

[His eyes widen at the voice.] Eeeh, so there are girls here? [And he beams again.] Well, I just found this cool thing here, and I've been getting introduced to new people! I don't know if there's anything to be unhappy about yet.

[Audio]

[azula_fbp]

Well, it is mildly refreshing to meet someone of a more pleasant personality.

[Not sure how to react to all this yet... still... nice.]

I'm glad.

[video]

[solaeuftderhase]

Eh, I'm refreshing? Is that what you think? [A joyous smile!] Ahaha, thank you very much! By the way, I'm Momiji! What's your name?

[The measured female voice sounds faintly irate. Momiji's transmission didn't impress her much.]

Have you now ascertained the full range of the communicator's functions, or are there additional buttons you would like to press?

[solaeuftderhase]

[Another clap of the hands.] Another girl! Well, I suppose that these are like apples and grapefruit, but there sure seem to be so many of us.

Eh? [He focuses on the question, giving it serious consideration.] Ja, I think that's everything for right now! Is there anything else the communicator can do that I don't know about yet?

[audio]

[sevenofnine]

You are correct. There is a gender imbalance. Fortunately, gender is irrelevant.

[She puzzles over "apples and grapefruit", before deciding that it's a figure of speech. She doesn't know many of those.]

No, you appear to have mastered the device. Perhaps I could provide you with other information?

[video]

[solaeuftderhase]

That's not good! Don't girls have things to talk about that only other girls can relate to? Bees of a feather flock together, after all! [Momiji is not the best person to learn adages from either. He's terrible at them.]

Well, that's good then! [A thoughtful position is followed by a sudden smile and a fist to his palm!] Oh, I have a question! Mmhmm, I think it's a very good one!

[video]

[solaeuftderhase]

Eh, someone with a face this time! [Momiji waves!] Hi there! I'm Momiji. What's your name?

There sure are, but everyone's been pretty helpful about it. I think I've gotten the hang of things now.

[solaeuftderhase]

Miharu, Miharu. It's nice to meet you! Most of the people using this thing don't seem to want to show their faces. I wonder why that is?

[royal_ripper]

...You've recently arrived here?

[Have fun with this Bel while you can, though- he won't stay 'pleasant' for long.]

[video]

[solaeuftderhase]

Mmhmm, I have! [Big grin / laugh combo!] I'm Souma Momiji! What's your name?

[Momiji will always be like this, given something groundbreaking doesn't happen to him.]

[royal_ripper]

Prince Belphegor.

[Even Disturbed, there's an emphasis on 'prince']

I'm one of the people who've been here the longest.

[video]

[solaeuftderhase]

Eeeh, so there's a Prince too? There are so many royal people here! Where are you from, Prince?
