I // [video]

[The screen flickers slightly before revealing a smiling young face, red eyes wide in wonder as she stares at the camera. The girl looks very excited, or at least eager to see what this device does. There's almost a sense of pride emanating from her - after all, being in a family of magi meant that they avoided contact with modern technology as much as possible. So getting this thing to work is quite the accomplishment, and she looks around for a few moments around the edge of the screen - checking things, probably - before looking back at the camera.

Unfortunately, she doesn't notice that it's upside down.]

Hello everyone! I'm Ilyasviel von Einzbern, but Ilya is fine. I'm new here, so I'm looking for someone to be my older brother!

[She smiles again. It's not in her intention to further explain what an older brother entails, since the best older brothers would already know what to do without her telling them. Ideally, the older brother would be someone who's actually older than her, but if they act and look older than her, that's fine too. All things considered, that really shouldn't be too hard...]

I guess a big sister would be okay too... but a big brother would be better. So, someone come play with me, okay?

[Her eyes wander off to the sides of the screen again. A few moments pass by as this continues, and the girl mutters a barely audible 'how do you turn this off?']

Is Shing the guy with brown hair and this red and blue outfit thingy? I think I met him.

[That's another vote of confidence for Shing, isn't it? He must be pretty good at being a big brother. Or he's just really popular.]

How about you?

Mhmm, that's right! He always looks out for me when I needed him and the same goes for Kohaku so that's why they're perfect as older siblings!

[Unless you like derpy big brothers]

Me? Well...I could be but I never been a big sister to anyone before. I could try!

Really? They sound really nice.

[Well, she has no reason to trust or distrust this person. And the name Kohaku doesn't sound familiar to her, but she remembers it for reference.]

It's okay. One sibling is fine, and there seem to be lots of people here!

[The other person sounds a little nervous about the prospect of being a big sister, and Ilya doesn't really want to make people worry about that.]

They gave me a place to stay so that's why I feel safe around them!

[And there's the whole death issue but that's for another time]

Mhmm, there are! So I hope that you get to find a really good one! Maybe I can help you find some outside of Shing and Kohaku!

[That would be nice. It sounds like Shing and Kohaku are already this person's older siblings, and Ilya would really like a sibling of her own. Well, she has one, but the whole being transported to Vatheon business has made him rather inaccessible.]

You would help me?

[Wow, the people here are really nice. Although judging people's behaviour during the Holy Grail War probably isn't the best gauge of their normal personality...

But first of all, she needs to know who's actually helping her here.]

Um, what's your name?

Of course, why wouldn't I? Everyone needs to stick together here and help each other out!

[That's how Bianca rolls. She likes to help you and everyone else if she can]

Oh right, how silly of me! I'm Bianca! It's nice to meet you, A...A...

...I think I'll call you Alya!

Bianca... that means something like white, right? That's a pretty name! I like white.

[Ilya sounds very happy with this. After all, snow is white, and she likes snow.]

Ee-lee-yah. That's how you say it!

[However, she's very insistent about people getting her name right. She's already given her short form! At least she's not going around asking people to say 'Ilyasviel', right?]

Mhmm, that's right! My friend is named Cheren, which means black! It's kind of funny isn't it?

[Because that's how pokemon games roll]

Ee-lee-yah....Ilya! There we go! Ilya it is!

Yay, that's right!

[Her voice brightens at the sound of Bianca's attempt. Clearly, she's much happier.]

That is kind of funny, but that's cool. Is Cheren here too?

[...]

N-No, not anymore. He was here a while ago but I'm glad I got a chance to see him in Vatheon along with a couple of my friends back home.

[A silence. She didn't mean to bring something bad up. It's kind of hard to tell with just voices, but Bianca doesn't sound very happy.]

I'm sorry... it sounds like he's a really good friend.

[Her understanding of friendship is very limited, but generally they're people who make other people happy. And it's kind of sad that Bianca doesn't have those kinds of people with her any more.]

N-No it's okay, I think it might have been better that he was back home! It can be a little...scary here sometimes but if he's back home, I feel a little better that way!

[And yet, a part of her does want to see that they were here.]

Oh. Well, if you say so...

[It doesn't sound terribly convincing. Who wouldn't want their friends by their side? But it's not her place to judge, and it's not like she knows Bianca very well anyway.]

Do you still have friends here, though?

Mhmm, I do!

I still have Shing, Kohaku, Johnny, Sola, and a bunch of friends too! I'm not lonely so...I'm really glad that I have friends here. I think that's all I can ask for.

Oh, okay. Was making friends here... hard?

[It's just different here from everything else she's known, right? And Even that was different from what she grew up with. Granted, she grew up with almost no other people. But it sounds like Bianca has a lot of friends now.]

Of course not, everyone here is really nice and friendly! They'll want to be your friend in no time! If I had no trouble making friends here, you don't either!

And if they say otherwise, I'll be you friend, Ilya!

[Because Bianca likes to befriend everyone ever]

We can be friends just like that? We haven't even really met yet, though...

[It's very well and easy to say that people become friends. Whether they are truly people who are friends and not friendly, though, is something else altogether. Words are cheap things; she learned that the hard way, and she's not going to let that go any time soon.]

So? That doesn't matter, the important thing is that we get along and we make each other happy! That's how friendship goes!

[Meanwhile, Bianca never learned anything like that. ~~Yay pokemon~~. However, the words she says is never cheap. When she says something, she means it and keeps her word. The problem is that she needs to know that sometimes other people don't]

[While it isn't easy to judge character from just hearing someone's voice, Ilya doesn't think that Bianca is a bad person. Making people happy... if that's all that she needs to be friends with someone, that's not so hard, is it?

There's a pause on her line for a few moments.]

Okay! Let's be friends, Bianca!

That's great, I got a new friend here in Vatheon!

And the first thing we should do is that I want to know if there's anything else you want to know about Vatheon! I think you mentioned something about finding a place to stay right?

[Oh, that's right! She should probably find a place to stay here soon... immediately, Ilya feels happy that she has this new friend.]

Yeah, I need a place to live in here. Do you know what might be good places?

Hm...I don't think it matters, any place you live in is good! Most of Vatheon is pretty peaceful so you don't have to worry about anything! [Usually]

So you can pick somewhere can you'll be fine!

[Anywhere? That's a pretty big selection...]

Do you know if there are castles?

[Probably unlikely, but there's no harm in giving it a try, right? Besides, a lady must live in accommodations as befitting her status as possible.]

Uh....no.

But there is something we can do about the inside of the apartment! We can make it look like a castle instead! How about that?

[A brief silence.]

Will that be hard? And how big is a room, then?

[Well, it would feel familiar, at least. And she would still be able to be with other people, too. That's pretty good!]
