[The video feed starts with focusing on Leo's face.]

Since I got my hands on some celestial bronze I started making some really awesome stands to use with the starfish communicators. They're super portable and attach to the SFC like a cellphone charm.

[He turns his SFC away from his face (it's sitting on his stand) and holds up a charm that's shaped like Dirk's sunglasses. It's not very big and it's attached to Dirk's SFC by a short cord. He talks from off camera.]

So they start out looking like this, but in whatever shape you want. I've also made a bunny shaped one and mine's shaped like a hammer. I can do pretty much any simple shape you want. Anyway. All you gotta do to turn it into a stand it give it a little push like this.

[He grabs the charm by both ends of the glasses and lightly pushes them closer together at the top. The glasses open and a stand begins to come out of it, extending more metal than it looks like it could feasibly hold. When it's done he sets the stand on the table and Dirk's SFC is sitting on top of it, the sunglasses are open at the top of the stand.]

And then you've got a stand for hands free SFC use. And it retracts easily when you're ready to pack it up and go.

[He adjusts the sunglasses in the opposite direction and the stand begins to retract. He grabs hold of Dirk's SFC so it doesn't fall. He turns his SFC back to face him.]

Thanks to Dirk, I got the idea that I should sell these. So if you want your own custom stand just let me know. It'll cost 30 starfish tokens, but I'm willing to barter.

[After very little interest last time, Leo tries a slightly different tactic on selling the password app.]

Also wanted to remind everyone that if you want some added security for your SFC, I've got a password app for it that will keep anyone from accessing your SFC without whatever code you set. It's free with a SFC charm stand, or 5 starfish tokens if that's all you want.

Hello, Vatheon residents. [ Chizuru smiles at the screen, video fully enabled for the feed.

She's been in Vatheon for over a month now, and volunteering at the clinic is working out for her. The only thing is, she's found the Nostalgia Nook and noticed it requires actual currency. Volunteering at the clinic doesn't do much for her in that regard. ]

Chizuru Yukimura. [ She bows her head. ] I'm, ah, looking to maybe do some side jobs in return for Starfish Tokens. I'm not really sure what I could do, but.. I am good at cooking, cleaning, and laundry.. and that sort of thing. Anyone maybe have any recommendations or anything they need done? Thank you!

[He still finds the idea of talking into this little thing a bit strange, but it obviously works, somehow. He supposes he's had more than enough time to try and get accustomed to things here, but it's with some hesitation that Saitou finally speaks up, not even certain that he's got this SFC working correctly.

Another thing to find out.]

...I would like to request information about the volunteer defense force. To whom would I need to speak with in regards to joining?

.....

[It's a moment or two before he finally bows his head, feeling it awkward to leave it off at that, although no more than he already feels speaking to a starfish.]

Thank you for your time.

[Not long ago, someone taught Mituna how to make his text sparkly.

Now, all of Vatheon will know it.]

[ The video turns on to a smiling girl in a kimono. ]

Hello! I'm Chizuru Yukimura. [ The girl bows her upper form entirely, able to do so as her SFC is propped on top of her table. ] I've been in Vatheon for about two weeks. [ A slight pause as she smiles sheepishly. ] I kind of had trouble with this device, but I think I've finally got it figured out!

[ Chizuru's been busy, exploring the city and getting her own home and figuring out things. Really, she's kind of proud of herself. Yes, it was alarming when she first arrived, but.. she's adapted and learned quickly. ]

I'm wondering if there's anywhere I can volunteer as a medic? I have experience with general doctoring and being a battlefield medic. ..I want to learn way more about healing and helping others. I can also run messages and do tasks like that. [ Now that Chizuru's "settled down," she's eager to start helping out. ] I do know self-defense, so I can protect myself if I have to.

Thank you. [ She bows to the device again, and then the feed ends. ]
