[ The camera turns on to reveal a young face, currently in transit. It's Rebecca, walking down one of the broad, bright streets of upper Lunatia. She's a little unused to mobile videos, so occasionally she bobs out of frame. You can see her short hair, the pink choker she perpetually keeps wrapped around her neck, and the top of a green baseball tee. It is the nineties, after all.
More of relevance is probably the flushed cheek, the slightly heavier breathing. Iris is in full effect, and it's not giving her a second of mercy. She gathers herself before starting, eyes flicking over the display to make sure everything is set up and working correctly. ]
...you guys really weren't kidding about the effects of these moons. The physical and physiological changes already didn't make any sense, but this is just-- [ She puffs out a breath, shaking her head. ] Maybe there really is some merit to the lunar effect. We have all sorts of old wives' tales back home about how the full moon makes people go crazy, and we've only got one of them.
[ She pauses, glancing up to cross a street. Once across, she flashes an embarrassed smile at the camera. ]
Anyway. That's not what I wanted to talk about. Now that I'm settled in and things seem...peaceful... [ Her expression creases briefly, a nonverbal "for now". ] I was wondering, how do you all fill up your day?
I'll start! I'm Rebecca. [ She gives the camera a little wave. ] I haven't settled on a job yet, so mostly I'm going to the gym or at the cafe if I'm not in my apartment. I love sweet drinks, so it's nice to just relax in the sunshine with a book. I like playing basketball, and piano too, but those sort of fell by the wayside. All that keeps me busy, but when the moon's full, I'm still kinda lacking strategies to...distract myself.
[ It's about the most polite way she can conjure of saying, "Jesus Christ, nobody told me the moon effects were this bad, I'm going out of my mind here." ]
I figure we should all be trying to help each other out, even if it's just with sharing coping mechanisms. I'm always here to help if you need a medic, or even just a sympathetic ear. So...let me know!

[ And then, as if by divine providence, a familiar, stylish ponytail of white hair exits a building. Rebecca lowers her phone and squints after her. She's much more put together now, but...yes, it is the girl she'd had that talk with!
Rebecca's wandering route has taken her near to the theatre. Was that where she was going? She's briefly caught in internal debate, not wanting to bother the girl, before managing to push. She breaks into a light half-job and quickly catches up. ]
Weiss?

[ Man, she is really off her game. If she weren't already ultra-flushed, she'd go pink at that. ]
Anyway-- [ changing the subject! ] Altering clothing seems like something that'd take up a lot of time. I like exercising and reading, but there's only so long you can do both...I'll probably take up a job soon just to fill time.
no subject
Errh-! Y-yeah, some- some alterations take a bit. I play some music and get into the job, y'know?
I was- I'm told I oughta run a shop, but it's like... I feel like I got a comfortable thing going usin' the network and workin' from home. Otherwise I got a plot of land out in the Groves; growin' my own food n' all.

[ She smiles. ] Are we about the same age? You've really got it together, by the sounds of it.
no subject
[Huh. Were they...?]
I jus' turned 19 in January. Heh- I dunno about havin' it together, though. I had a shit ton of help!
no subject
[ Wouldn't her mom be proud, making friends the same age as her instead of hanging around elite cops all day. ]
Nothing wrong with having help. We all need a little.
no subject
Oh yeah- Name's Kanji. I caught that you're Rebecca, right?
no subject
[ She waves at the camera. ]
If I end up sprouting a tail, I'll be sure to come to you for help, Kanji. Any other skills you're hiding, while we're on the subject?
no subject
[Any other skills? He looked up in thought. Hmmmm...]
I guess... I can play drums? I dunno what good they'd do against someone playin' piano, but hey, if you ever wanna play a rock opera, I'm in!
no subject
[ Or if something needs bashing with a chair. And speaking of... ]
I'm probably more useful in my professional role as a medic. If you ever need patching up...then I can help.
no subject
I'll keep that in mind, too. Hey, maybe I'll seeya around? Now that I've got Ranger, I gotta get out more for walks n' stuff.
