[The feed starts, showing a rather buxom blonde who appears to be pouting at the device.]

Ehhh? I still think this is some sort of a joke. More like cruel and unusual punishment! And undeserved punishment too! The reports weren't that late... [By her standards.] And I don't want to go to any classes or do research. Is there someone else that can do that and given me a very short version of everything else...Taichoouuuu? I’m sorry? I’ll get right to those reports… in a bit? It’s not my fault the girls got in the way and knocked the ink over the paper! They have a mind of their own! I swear! Listen to them at night! They plot things!

[But those pale blue eyes turn away, and she frowns. She's not an idiot- lazy tendencies aside.]

Ne, but, this isn’t the human world, as it isn't the same as last time… and I might have been drinking a little bit of sake last night, but it wasn’t that much…

[But this is Rangiku. She can drink plenty of people under the table. She leans back a little, shinigami attire perhaps a little strange looking for some, although it may be familiar in style for others, and gives a flick of her hair over her shoulder.]

Oi, hello? Is there anyone out there? It would be pretty boring if there weren’t anyone else… That would mean I would have to talk to myself. I've never heard of a place called Prismatica, let alone a whole different planet... There better be sake here.

Uh-huh. They accept us Moonblessed as if we're natives, and we all do the same stuff based on rank. We're all in this together, pal!

[titillation]

I guess I know who to call if I have any troubles.

[trenchdoting]

Of course. You can count on us, pal! And hey, if you ever feel like joining us, I'll be glad to show you the ropes!

[titillation]

[More reports?

Nope!

Although, she pauses a moment, thinking.]

How do you get paid - or maybe in what?

[trenchdoting]

[At least she has a lot of experience she can apply in ignoring them!]

It's in that physical currency I mentioned, Demichroma. That's what all the jobs here pay in. So it's nice if you don't wanna have to make all your money through getting touchy-feely!

[titillation]

I dunno~ Hugs seem easier than pushing paper...

[trenchdoting]

...Okay, pal. You got me there.

[He shrugs.]

There's also... um... the joy of helping people?

[titillation]

[True... ish.]

And you got me there.

[trenchdoting]

There we go, pal! [He says with a confident grin. It seems like her heart's in the right place, at least.]

Just something to think about, really. For now, though, probably best to focus on settling in.

[titillation]

There's a variety of different jobs around though, right?

[Just keeping some options open.]

[trenchdoting]

Well, yeah! You got pretty much of the same jobs you'd find in a city back on Earth. You can try for whatever you want and follow your dreams, pal!

[titillation]

The only job I really had on Earth was being a student.

[She did like the uniform...]

[trenchdoting]

A student? What about the whole guardian thing?

[titillation]

What about it? It is what I do for a living. The whole student thing was a cover.

[trenchdoting]

Well I mean, that counts as a job too! But wait, you were undercover? That's so cool, pal!

[titillation]

Yup! Several of us had a mission.

[trenchdoting]

Neat! Undercover missions always sound so awesome. Was it a success?

[titillation]

In a way. It's a bit complicated.

[trenchdoting]

I hear you. Sometimes it's like asking for a miracle for an operation to go smoothly! Don't worry, I won't make you go through the whole story. At least it worked in some way?

[titillation]

[All in all, it's certainly not where Rangiku thought she could be, had she been asked what her future held.]

It's long and full of things that would need more explanation anyway. Boring, really.

[Which is actually just Rangiku brushing it off.]

[trenchdoting]

I'm sure it's not really boring, pal. But if does come with a lotta explanations, maybe it's best to save it for another time. [Maybe his brain will stand a better chance of understanding it sometime else.]

[titillation]

Sure~ That works.

[Because she is good at distraction and wiggling her way out of things.]

[trenchdoting]

Sounds good, pal. Anyway, it's been great getting to know you! I'm here if you ever need help with something, alright?

[titillation]

I will~! [He should never have offered....] Thank you!

[trenchdoting]

[Gumshoe finds himself shuddering, as if he just did something to seal his fate...]

You're welcome! I'm happy to help, pal. Now good luck settling into this place!
