001. [video] intro.

[Gives the SFC a gentle flick, giving the camera a wry smile. Seems like he's managed to get rid of all signs of his wet arrival, minus his damp clothes. He's trying very hard to forget the whole incident for your benefit.]

So what, all I get for gracing you all with my presence is this booklet and this horrendous tunic? No welcome party, no parades, no nothing? Geez. Not to mention there's water in places you don't deserve to even know about.

[He pouts his pretty boy pout, looking very hurt indeed.]

Ah, well, I'll forgive you this time. I'm sure that there should be plenty of hunnies out there to cheer me up, yeah? We can have a party of our own now that the great Zelos is here!

Oh, and Lloyd and friends? That includes my dear, voluptuous hunny, my darling angel, my cool beauty, and my precious little one-- If you're here, you're invited, too. Don't leave a man hanging, hmm?

[With a wink and a grin, he turns off the feed.]

[He nods along.] I see. I'll check them out later. Unless there's something I should see now?

What else?

[She closes her eyes for a few seconds, thinking.]

Well, there's four quadrants that lie outside the city, sort of. One of them has an elevator that leads to an island above the ocean surface. We still can't leave from the island, but it's nice to be able to breathe in some fresh air.

Great. So this place gets even more screwed up?

[Geez.] Do you like living here?

[She pauses for a moment, thinking about it.]

It's ah... It's not too bad. Compared to my own world, it's actually kind of peaceful around here. Curses and all.

I'm hearing that a lot today.

"Curses"... [He read about them, but they sound a little... fishy.] So what's the worst curse you've encountered?

I'm not sure... I haven't really experienced too many of them yet, but things were a little chaotic just last week. It was like we were in a video game...

Video game? [They don't have that sort of technology in Tethe'alla. At least, that's not what it's called, if he ever had time to bother with such trivialities.]

But otherwise it's a nice place to live in. What's your world like, then?

Well, it's called Earth and it's... big. I'm not sure how big the world outside of this city is, but I think you could fit a million of these bubbles in Earth. Maybe a few million. There's a lot of different countries, all with their own cultures. Earth's filled with humans and all sorts of animals who don't always live together in peace, but... We try.

[She trails off for a few seconds, her voice taking on a more serious tone. Her face reflects that tone very well, too.]

It's just that some years ago, a criminal organization known as the Panther Claw appeared. They only care about satisfying the greed of their ruler, Panther Zora. It doesn't matter how many people get hurt or die, as long as they get what they want.

Hmm. [He's dealt with his fair share of greedy, careless bastards, but. Neither here nor there.]

Were you involved?

That's... [Her determined expression makes way for something else. She was involved. She still will be when she goes home, she's sure. She was involved and all her friends were involved because of her.]

... They took my father from me. And my sister, Seira. And... [Even the Twilight Prince is gone because of them. Seiji's father, too. The Panther Claw have ended so many lives already.]

...Oh. [Now that definitely isn't what he's expecting. For a moment, his stance falters - what should he even react to this?! - as he attempts to figure out if he should touch her or not.

After a moment of debate, he leaves his hands hanging by his sides.] I'm sorry to hear that.

At least it seems pretty damn cozy over here, right? [He smiles, but tries not to go over the top-- just something bright and (hopefully) reassuring.]

[Honey forces a smile as well. It's obviously not sincere, but at least it doesn't cost her too much effort. She's been forcing smiles for quite a while now.]

Yes, it does. Everyone here is very nice and welcoming. I've met a lot of interesting people already.
