[ ... there's actually going to be a cycle of the different communication methods going on here, but it'll end on hologram i promise--

first up is text, which she's most familiar with using anyway: ]

Hello, world! I'm gonna be testing a few things, so I'd like your participation! o(〃＾▽＾〃)o I also have a few questions for everyone, since I'm still sorta getting my feet on the ground.

[ ...

okay, so, there's going to be a video dropped in on here. it's just of some of the feral cats by the hot springs rolling around, but their ears flick up towards the video's source after a moment and dart off; there's a soft, disappointed sigh before it ends. ]

Is there any way to befriend these furballs? They're sooooooo cute, but they keep running away when I try! ╥﹏╥ And I've tried food before anyone asks, they just don't seem to trust me too much... (ﾉ´ｰ`)ﾉ

[ the next bit she has to psyche herself up for just a bit, but once she activates the audio function she's good to go. ]

So! I picked up a camera, and I've been taking pictures of a lot of things... they're all pretty amateurish, I guess? But it's been really fun too! [ thanks march ] Has anyone else picked up photography as a hobby? What do you take pictures of? Maybe we could make a group of it?

[ she sure is excited. to meet people and do things. anyway, last up is... malkuth's really working out what she likes best (so far, it's text, she likes the faces she can insert), and this is including putting out a hologram of herself: she's 163cm, or 5'4" those off the metric system, and she's wearing just the basic outfit of some pants and a longer sleeved shirt for the cold.

... this one she won't know if she likes actually but that's fine! that's fine. she'll learn. we'll all learn. replacing the book she might have held tight in her hand is, in fact, a disposable camera she'd bought with most of the money given to her, and the hologram makes similar motions as she takes pictures of her surroundings. ]

Actually, I could use a new hobby or two in general... You could say work really ate up my time, so I never really had any to spare for things like that. Any recs? Oh, you can reply however you want, I'll match!

[ okay, that's the end of it, promise, she isn't sorry for. all that. she's definitely digging text most she misses her little faces. ]

Time and patience, for the most part. Feeding them will help, but they won't be friendly out of the gate. You need to spend time in their vicinity, every day. Sit still around them, let them come to you. Bringing toys and enticing them to play with you may also be beneficial.

[ignoreher]

[ oh boy a response ]

Oh... Sort of sounds like a coworker of mine.

[ ... ]

A couple of them, actually! (*≧艸≦) Are you friends with them already?

[originbullets]

Sort of? I was able to adopt one of them, anyway.

( But then, Kiritsugu has the patience of a saint. )

[ignoreher]

[ by the wings ]

Can I see? What's their name? How long did it take?

@hearse

[wheft]

[ this is a lot??? tf... hold on oomf she's gonna use (spins roulette) video for this. ]

Jeez, that's a lot of questions. Can we do them one at a time? Or at least some of them?

[ignoreher]

[ please. hi oomf. ]

Sure! Which question would you like repeated? Cats, photos, or hobbies?

[wheft]

[ WAIT ignore the fucking text font i just woke up ]

Hobbies? I don't really have them either, unless if you count fishing.

[ignoreher]

[ i had a fifty fifty shot on one of these being the wrong use. kiss kiss ]

So we're in the same boat, huh. [ haha. ] I'd like to try fishing sometime, though! Will you take me sometime?

@duke

[frostfist]

Chatty, aren't you?

[ Not necessarily a bad thing but wow that was a lot all at once. ]

What kinds of activities have you enjoyed in the past?

[ignoreher]

[ welcome to what conversations with her are gonna be like, wrio! ]

Um... I like to imagine what sort of buildings I could construct given time and materials. And reading isn't so bad, though it's part of my job. [ is? was? is? is. if she's understanding LILITH right and all, is. ] I just like to try new things, really. ╮(￣ヮ￣)╭ If that can count!

[frostfist]

[ Where's the mute button— ]

You could try drawing, or some of those puzzle kits they sell around town.

[ Maybe she'd have a good time learning from Taryon?? Hm. ]

Unfortunately I don't have very many hobbies of my own so I don't have too much advice to offer.

[ignoreher]

[ drawing sounds nice... she can design buildings. but also: ]

I think that's what I'm supposed to be doing as homework, actually. The drawing, not the puzzles. Are there any blank ones?

I'm sort of getting that feeling from some others, too. Maybe we can find some together? It's way more fun to do things as a group than solo!

[ in her opinion, ]

@NIGHTFALL, TEXT

[yuwon]

[ how does anyone know which one to respond to... ]

Think the issue is you're scaring them away.

[ does he mean the cats or the network... who knows. ]

[ignoreher]

[ shut up. ]

I've never interacted with creatures like this before, so maybe... They're surprisingly shy.

[yuwon]

I've seen people playing with them just fine.

[ 🧍‍♂️ ]

But, you didn't have any similar animals where you're from?

[ignoreher]

[ so it's just her............................ ]

Well, the ones we did have... were pretty dangerous. Most of the beast-like ones had poor temperaments, or would drive you insane. These guys are harmless in comparison!

[There's a lot happening here- BUT Malkuth will get send a picture of a board game box (it's monopoly) that she happened to got from LILITH at Christmas. It hasn't got used yet due to other happenings.]

Have you tried out board games? There is some fun little games you can find and play with another person or in a group. I also know a lot of card games!

[ignoreher]

[ board games... they should've had those in the library. that would've been fun. in their spare time... when they had spare time... when other floors were fighting, maybe... too bad she can't send word back to angela as a suggestion...

also, that is so sick of them to do that to her. monopoly? for my crime and punishment queen? that's so funny. ]

I haven't! I'll have to take a look at them sometime, since it sounds like it could be something to do! What kind of cards do you play?

[axethrows]

[Clearly once/if Angela graces us with her presence, we will have a massive game night. Snacks too, we can't forget the snacks.

RIGHT and she got extra paper money with it too, she can't use them outside of the game and it's tragic...]

I mostly play the ones that you will normally play while gambling. Poker, Blackjack, and some of the other ones. I learned a lot of type of games from my hometown since our entertainment choices were limited~

[Gotta get creative with no money to fight the boredom.]

I'm less familiar with board games, but I bet there are some really fun ones to try out if we go looking.

[ —Cut to a live feed of cheap sake tumbling out of a vending machine. ]

You're all over the place, [ hums a familiar voice. Kaito pops the tab on the can and it vanishes, presumably as it goes out of his line of sight for a sippy. ]

Have you considered cooking?

[ ...The video continues for a good thirty seconds of silence and drinking before he realizes he's left the recording going and quickly shuts it off. ]

[ignoreher]

[ oh, it's the panhandling guide. well, he gets to get her taking pictures, so that's fair. still out in the wilderness (for what it's worth), her camera's eye is taking in tragedy. the little motions go with it: the shutter of the camera, the gently roll of her thumb onto the next bit of film, so on. ]

I'm just covering my bases, thanks! And no, I haven't. I've never cooked a day in my life.

[seafloor]

[ The next clip is of him out in the city—Shibuya, specifically.

And there's an army of stray cats crowded in front of him. A black-sleeved arm stretches out, holding a plastic dish stuffed with kibble.

The army marches forward to bowl over Kaito and start nibbling. Many pets are given out. ]

No better time than the present. Or future, I guess? [ There's purring in the background. ] You could start small, making soups or sandwiches. I imagine it wouldn't be too hard to snag some ingredients from the kitchen.

[bowtography]

[ Well, it's. Probably not hard to recognize this voice. This voice, brimming with unrestrained enthusiasm. ]

Ooh, a group would be fun! I've never been a part of an entire photography group before!

[ignoreher]

[ march!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ]

Right? It'd be fun to see what everyone took pictures of if we went on an outing!

[bowtography]

[ Malkuth!!!!!!!!! ]

That should be easy enough to organize, if we can get enough interest in it! Though who wouldn't be?

[ Surely more people have to have equally good taste here! ]
